This study estimates that young adults have about 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervating their skin, with density varying by region and decreasing with age.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

This review argues that the immunocompetence hypothesis, linking masculine facial features to attractiveness through health benefits, lacks sufficient evidence and sidesteps alternative explanations.

In this study, researchers used genetic data from over 52,000 men to identify over 250 genetic loci associated with severe hair loss and developed a predictive algorithm for determining hair loss risk.

This study found that forehead feminization significantly contributes to recognizing female gender and reported that feminizing forehead cranioplasty is a safe procedure with a low complication rate.

This study found that oral administration of finasteride to pregnant rats caused dosage-related developmental toxicities, including hypospadias and decreased anogenital distance in male offspring.

This review analyzes how the pharmaceutical industry's emphasis on lifestyle drugs and marketing practices leads to the integration of pharmaceuticals into everyday life, with a domestic focus and view of drugs as quick solutions.

In this study, men using 2% and 5% minoxidil solutions experienced a significant increase in hair weight for 96 weeks compared to placebo, with effects diminishing after treatment cessation.

This article reviews the current ACR classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting their dermatologic limitations, and proposes guidelines for a study to update these criteria.

This study found that PDGFA is critical for the proliferation and maintenance of adipocyte stem cells in skin but not other white adipose tissues, highlighting unique regulatory mechanisms in different tissue depots.

This study highlights that prolonged voriconazole use is linked to an increased risk of aggressive cutaneous malignancies like squamous cell carcinoma, necessitating careful monitoring of drug levels to manage adverse effects.

This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

This study found that mice with a mutant CDP/Cux protein lacking the homeodomain showed severely impaired growth, high postnatal mortality, and reduced fertility, highlighting CDP/Cux's role in developmental regulation.

This guideline review discusses current symptoms, diagnostic approaches, and treatments for Long- and Post-COVID, based on today's knowledge, and emphasizes its practical application with ongoing updates as new insights emerge.

This review discusses the growing use of scalp hair for elemental analysis in various fields and highlights advancements in analysis techniques, including the future potential of laser ablation ICP-MS, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, a novel mutation in the glucocorticoid receptor gene was identified in a young woman, impairing glucocorticoid signaling and leading to generalized glucocorticoid resistance.

This review discusses the reclassification of pregnancy-related skin diseases and provides a management algorithm but reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of tactile end organs in the epidermis and hair follicles from studies of mouse hairy skin, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this pilot study, no significant differences were observed between memantine and placebo groups in young adults with Down syndrome on the primary memory outcomes, but some improvement was noted in a secondary measure.

This review discusses the complex systemic nature of vitiligo and its associations with autoimmune conditions, emphasizing the need for increased understanding and awareness of related comorbidities and psychological effects.
