This study found that exosomes derived from antler stem cells significantly enhanced wound healing speed and quality in rats, including better skin regeneration and collagen distribution, outperforming exosomes from bone marrow stem cells, and suggesting potential clinical applications.

In this review, the authors examined guidelines and literature on the non-operative treatment of gender dysphoria, highlighting the importance of personalized, multidisciplinary care, and noting that such treatment is generally safe and effective according to WPATH and Endocrine Society recommendations.

The study found that a polymer treatment changes the charge on hair surfaces, making bleached hair smoother and less porous.

This study found that IL-18 rs187238 and rs1946518 single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with increased susceptibility to alopecia areata in a Turkish population.

This study demonstrates that Rac1 activity is essential for normal hair follicle formation but influences hair structure and pigmentation, in terminal differentiation, through alterations in hair shaft, cuticle, and pigmentation organization.

This review discusses the role of keratin-associated proteins in the growth and characteristics of wool and hair fibres from sheep and goats, and highlights areas for future research, but it presents no new findings.

This paper describes a systematic approach to creating a natural hairline in one session using modern hairline design principles and reports no new clinical results.

This review addresses the complexities in trichoscopy terminology and proposes an updated diagnostic flowchart for hair diseases, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study identified two types of calcium in human scalp hair shafts: easily removable calcium, likely as calcium soaps, and more stably bound calcium, possibly related to Ca-binding proteins.

This review highlights that current in vitro models often fail to replicate the physiological oxygen levels experienced by different skin cell types, which could affect redox states and functions, potentially accelerating skin aging.

This study developed a double-wavelength laser scanning microphotometer to measure hair shaft and follicle absorbance, improving spatial resolution and reducing light scattering effects in vitro.

This study analyzed how oxidative hair dye leaches from pigmented and nonpigmented hair during wash cycles, finding that melanin influences the dye deposition and leaching processes.

This study found that laser-based goniophotometry can effectively monitor changes in hair surface reflection related to color and cuticle cell tilt across different ethnic origins.

This study observed that most patients with traction alopecia showed improved or stabilized hair loss with therapeutic counseling and adjunctive treatments, but follow-up was often inconsistent, highlighting the need for better awareness and management.

This study found that using an aqueous solution of AMPD in hair bleach reduced both hair damage and odor compared to ammonium hydroxide.

In this study, D-OCT imaging revealed distinct structural and vascular changes in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting the technique's potential for diagnosing and monitoring the condition's activity.

This study discovered that the disposition of LY191704 enantiomers in rats and dogs is both stereoselective and species specific.

This study consolidates information on the unique structural and functional biology of Indian hair, reporting distinct scalp microbial ecology and trichoscopic parameters, which are important for diagnosing and treating hair conditions in Indian populations.

This article proposes a methodology for selecting hair extension technology that aligns with natural hair structure and aesthetic goals, suggesting the best results are achieved by matching technique to hair's mechanical capacity.

This source explores injectable minoxidil as a hair loss treatment, noting its enhanced bioavailability but also the potential for adverse effects and higher costs compared to other formulations, with a call for further research on its efficacy and access relative to alternatives.

This study reported no significant association between vaspin and visfatin -4689G/T gene polymorphisms and alopecia areata in the Turkish population, although the visfatin GT genotype may pose a risk factor for the condition.

This study suggests moving away from using rigid racial categorizations and outdated typologies in favor of analyzing detailed trait patterns, providing a foundation for future research on human variation and hair traits in relation to population affinity.

This study suggests that lichen planopilaris should be considered as a potential diagnosis in African American women with scarring alopecia, often displaying an "arrowhead" distribution pattern, which may guide treatment strategies.

This study demonstrated that using a mass spectrometry imaging technique, researchers were able to visualize the incorporation of argan, avocado, and coconut oils into hair fibers, suggesting their potential in cosmetic and alopecia treatments by confirming oil absorption and fiber modification.

This review discusses recent advances in noninvasive hair imaging technologies, such as global photography, trichoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy, and optical coherence tomography, highlighting their potential to improve hair diagnostics and treatment monitoring, while also outlining their clinical applications and limitations.

This study suggests that varicella-zoster virus infection in skin cells may play a role in segmental vitiligo's progression and depigmentation.

This study concluded that macrophage iron retention due to Ferroportin inactivation hinders skin wound healing but does not affect liver damage or fibrogenesis in a mouse model.

The document recommends a multidisciplinary approach and experience sharing to advance facial feminization surgery as a medical field.

Polarizing light microscopy can easily and reliably diagnose congenital keratinizing disorders like Netherton syndrome.

This study found that a 2% minoxidil cream for androgenous alopecia maintained optimal rheological properties for consistent application and long-term stability.
