This report highlights a case where dermoscopic observation of corkscrew hairs in a young woman led to the diagnosis of trichotillomania, emphasizing its role in distinguishing this psychiatric disorder from other forms of non-scarring alopecia and highlighting the importance of timely intervention.

This study found that applying both dehydrothermal treatment and carbodiimide crosslinking improved the mechanical properties of porcine acellular dermal matrix scaffolds without added cytotoxicity, suggesting potential applications in tissue engineering.

This study suggests that trichoscopy with a handheld dermatoscope may help differentiate temporal triangular alopecia from other localized alopecia by identifying specific hair features.

This study suggests that increased amounts of less stable disulfide conformers in hair shafts may be linked to the brittleness observed in trichothiodystrophy.

This study found that carbon dots derived from fucoidan effectively inhibit Enterococcus faecalis and its biofilm, offering a promising approach for managing biofilm-associated persistent endodontic infections.

This study reports that a novel Nano-Structured Lipid Carrier system for delivering dutasteride may enhance its anticancer effects while reducing systemic side effects in clinical settings.

In this study, researchers developed a new prostate cancer imaging agent, a [99m Tc]tricarbonyl complex derived from finasteride, which demonstrated high radiochemical purity and significant uptake in the prostate of a rat model, suggesting its potential for noninvasive prostate cancer imaging.

This study observed that direct hair transplantation, as a modification of follicular unit extraction, was effective in improving baldness in the majority of treated male patients.

This study found that the tetracycline-regulated transcription system effectively controls conditional gene expression in the mouse epidermis, allowing suppression and activation of specific genes with doxycycline.

In this study, researchers found that the thyroxine receptor agonist TDM10842 accelerated the onset of anagen, a hair growth phase, in C3H mice, potentially through activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin and Hedgehog pathways, with Pclaf playing a key role in this process.

This study found that Dab2 conditional knockout mice experienced delayed hair follicle cycles and reduced hair follicle stem cell activity, suggesting Dab2's crucial role in regulating stem cell activation and anti-aging process in hair follicles.

This study found that adjuvant docetaxel chemotherapy is linked to higher rates of dissatisfaction and chronic alopecia compared to paclitaxel chemotherapy, suggesting these outcomes should be discussed with patients before using docetaxel regimens.

The study found that Temporal Triangular Alopecia often starts in early childhood, while Folliculitis Decalvans is characterized by tufted hairs and redness around hair follicles.

This study investigated the cytotoxic effects of DHA derivatives on cancer cell lines and found that didocosahexaenoin was the most potent, inducing apoptosis and producing reactive oxygen species in PC3 prostate carcinoma cells.

This study found that telocytes in human scalp tissue were located around hair follicles and glands and may be involved in skin regeneration and homeostasis.

This Viewpoint discusses the utility of dermoscope in routine practice and how familiarity with dynamic vs static trichoscopy may address its limitations, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this case study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, enabling early detection and intervention to prevent disease progression and reduce the need for invasive procedures.

In this case study, a neoadjuvant therapy combining gemcitabine and Disitamab Vedotin proved effective and safe for a muscle-invasive bladder cancer patient with severe renal insufficiency, who could not tolerate platinum-based treatments. The study suggests this regimen may be a viable alternative, pending further research.

In this study of BPH patients with testosterone deficiency, the combination of TU and dutasteride reduced prostate volume and improved testosterone-related symptoms but was less effective for sexual function compared to TU alone, indicating caution in using dutasteride for those with sexual dysfunction concerns.

This study suggests that Terminalia chebula fruit extract may promote hair growth in androgenetic alopecia by activating specific signaling pathways and inhibiting 5α-reductase, showing effectiveness comparable to finasteride.

This study established that the Dct::CreERT2 mouse line is effective for targeting and studying adult melanocyte stem cells, contributing to the understanding of melanocyte biology and hair pigmentation.

This case report identifies a 23-year-old man with congenital triangular alopecia, a non-scarring alopecia characterized by preserved follicles and vellus hair, for which unnecessary interventions should be avoided.

This study found that deleting all three Tet genes in mice led to shorter hair shafts and altered hair types, with associated changes in gene expression and DNA hydroxymethylation.

A specific gene variant is linked to heart disease, increased heart muscle, curly hair, and thick skin on palms and soles.

This study found that longer-chain cationic surfactants like BTMC provided superior hair conditioning by reducing combing forces, but did not reverse oxidative hair damage, emphasizing the role of molecular structure in surfactant performance.

This report details a refined hair transplantation method called direct no-shave follicular unit excision (DNS FUE), which avoids donor-site shaving and minimizes follicular trauma while yielding high patient satisfaction.

In this study, DHT was observed to have varying effects on hair follicle growth and related protein expression depending on concentration, with the Wnt/β-catenin pathway potentially playing a significant role.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) may shorten the hair growth cycle through mechanisms like cell-cycle arrest and β-catenin downregulation in rat hair follicle cells.

This study found that treatment with the polyphenolic compound TCQA activated β-catenin, promoting hair regrowth and the initiation of the anagen phase in mice and human dermal papilla cells.
