This correspondence questions the assertion in a 1961 article that lichen sclerosus et atrophicus does not lead to carcinoma, citing a case contrary to the author's claim.

This study observed that keratin sponges showed comparable biocompatibility to a commercial positive control in mice, but keratin gels had slightly inferior biocompatibility.

This review evaluates the anti-aging properties of TSG from He shou wu, finding it may protect against age-related diseases through multiple mechanisms, though further research is needed for clinical application.

This study describes Coats disease as a non-hereditary, idiopathic retinopathy characterized by abnormal retinal vascular development, noting common symptoms such as leukokoria and strabismus, and emphasizes the use of imaging techniques to differentiate it from retinoblastoma.

This article discusses the challenges of treating androgenetic alopecia due to limited approved medications, potential side effects, and unmet expectations and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various treatment options for alopecia areata, focusing on manipulating the immune response around hair follicles, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that finasteride- and dutasteride-loaded iron oxide nanoparticles improved drug penetration in the skin, suggesting they may be promising for topical alopecia therapies.

This study observed that 61.3% of helmets from online motorcycle taxi passengers in the Stasiun Tugu Yogyakarta area were contaminated with dermatophyte fungi, with higher contamination risk in helmets used over five years or infrequently cleaned.

In this study, a single alopecia patient receiving acupuncture therapy for six weeks displayed gradual improvements, including reduced hair loss, better scalp condition, and enhanced comfort and sleep, suggesting acupuncture may be a safe complementary treatment option for alopecia management.

This study observed that using moringa leaf extract in hair tonic reduced hair loss among the sampled students, with the average hair loss decreasing from 118.75 strands to 79.25 strands per day.

Dr. Zitelli emphasized that "Mohs surgery" should only be called that when one doctor does both the surgery and pathology.

This review explores the use of skin penetration enhancers like Transcutol® in various formulation systems, discussing their mechanisms and effectiveness in improving transdermal drug delivery without breaching the skin.

This study found that hydrophobic lipid-coated silica nanoparticles penetrated deeper into human stratum corneum compared to their hydrophilic counterparts, highlighting the influence of surface polarity on skin penetration.

This study found that co-applying Curcuma aeruginosa extract or essential oil with minoxidil significantly increased minoxidil's skin penetration in an ex vivo setting, suggesting an improved topical treatment strategy for androgenic alopecia with greater efficacy and the potential for lower minoxidil doses.

This study found that short durations of heat and specific chemical penetration enhancers significantly improved the delivery of finasteride to human scalp skin and hair follicles.

Targeting drugs to hair follicles can treat skin conditions, but reaching deep follicle areas is hard and needs more research.

In this single-case study, a 36-year-old woman with skin aging issues experienced improvements such as reduced wrinkles, fresher appearance, enhanced hair and lip health, and increased menstrual blood flow after six facial acupuncture sessions aimed at addressing Lung Yin and Blood Deficiency.

This article discusses the surveillance and spread of hand, foot, and mouth disease in China, Singapore, and Indonesia, and reports no new results, emphasizing the need for improved prevention and management strategies.

This study tested a hair tonic containing gotu kola and garlic extracts on rabbits, finding that the formulation with 5% gotu kola and 0.04% garlic showed promising hair growth results and remained stable during storage.

This study found that using a standardized protocol with microspheres of approximately 1.5 micrometers enhances penetration into hair follicles, particularly when skin is treated with cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping.

This study found that hair follicles contribute significantly to caffeine absorption shortly after topical application, with a faster absorption rate compared to the stratum corneum.

This study found that micro-needling with cosmeceuticals or platelet-rich plasma significantly improved wrinkles, skin laxity, scar softening, and hair growth over 12 months, with minimal side effects, and that the best results occur with pigment and platelet massaging between 5 to 30 minutes post-treatment.

This study developed lipid nanoparticles for delivering minoxidil and finasteride to the dermis and hair follicles, showing stability and a desired prolonged release, though with low skin penetration levels.

This study suggests that StemMACS MSC Expansion Media is more suitable than PowerStem MSC1 media for expanding therapeutic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, with less expression of negative markers and better chromosomal stability.

This study found that the penta-peptide Gly-Pro-Ile-Gly-Ser increased the proportion of thick hair and improved baldness appearance in Japanese men with androgenetic alopecia.
