This study found that chronic stress may inhibit hair follicle growth and melanogenesis in mice through modulation of the central HPA axis, with C57BL/6 mice appearing most sensitive to these effects.

In this study, researchers found that sweet potato shochu oil promotes hair growth in both human follicle dermal papilla cells and C3H mice. The oil contains components like ethyl palmitate, ethyl linoleate, and ethyl α-linolenate, which were key contributors to its hair growth-inducing effects.

This report details a case of feline degenerative mucinotic mural folliculitis associated with feline immunodeficiency virus, identified using immunohistochemistry and immunoassay techniques.

This study found that in lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B patients, tenofovir significantly reduced HBV DNA levels faster and more consistently than adefovir, reaching undetectable levels in all treated patients by 44 weeks.

This study demonstrated that skin organoids derived from human stem cells can model cutaneous tuberculosis, revealing that fibrosis development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected organoids is linked to the PI3K-AKT and AP1 pathways in fibroblasts, and suggesting the potential for antifibrotic treatment evaluation.

This study found that patients with telogen effluvium had significantly lower serum ferritin levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a relationship between telogen effluvium and decreased iron stores.

In this study, researchers developed a microfluidics-based method for creating uniform, size-controlled stem cell spheroids that enhance osteogenic differentiation when encapsulated in alginate-RGD microgels.

This review discusses various therapeutic strategies targeting platelet-derived growth factor signaling in diseases like cancer and atherosclerosis, and evaluates existing treatments without presenting new clinical data.

This case report describes a 27-year-old man hospitalized with fatigue, myalgias, weakness, profound weight loss, and abnormal liver function, leading to a diagnosis after chest imaging revealed pneumomediastinum.

This case report details a 17-year-old boy diagnosed with atypical juvenile pityriasis rubra pilaris (type 5) after presenting with persistent itchy skin lesions since age seven.

The document concludes that rapid identification, isolation, and strict infection control are crucial to manage SARS outbreaks.

In this study, UVB irradiation of organ-cultured human anagen hair follicles in vitro reduced hair elongation and increased cell death, affecting hair growth and regulatory processes.

This review discusses the role of skin manifestations as early markers and prognostic indicators of HIV infection in children but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that CRP levels were elevated in alopecia areata patients, with an inverse linear association between serum vitamin D and CRP levels specifically noted in ophiasis AA.

In vitro skin models are improving but still need more innovation to fully replicate human skin.

This observational study identified L. infantum infection in meerkats housed in two zoological parks in Madrid, marking the first such report for this species, though the disease persisted in one individual despite treatment.

This study found that ostrich antibodies targeting dihydrotestosterone and 5α-reductase, when combined with antibodies against harmful skin bacteria, may effectively promote hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia cases.

This research developed new in vitro models for high-throughput screening of drugs that could protect or restore immune privilege in hair follicles, finding that Tofacitinib was effective in preventing inflammation-related marker upregulation, while Tacrolimus and αMSH worked specifically in outer root sheath keratinocytes.

In this study, researchers assessed the efficacy of Trichosera® hair serum, containing mesenchymal stromal cells conditioned media, among 40 healthy Indian volunteers, finding significant improvements in hair growth rate, hair density, scalp condition, and reduction in hair fall without notable adverse effects.

This review discusses the applications and potential of Bioengineered Artificial Skin Substitutes in cosmetics and pharmacology research, with no new clinical findings reported.

This study identified that biotin ingestion led to interference in immunoassay results, falsely indicating high testosterone and insulin levels in a 28-year-old female patient, thus complicating her clinical assessment and treatment planning until recognized and resolved.

This review highlights the current progress and application pros and cons of various cell-based screening platforms in drug discovery, discussing challenges and potential improvements for these innovative methods.

Effective vaccines and treatments are crucial for long-term COVID-19 control.

This study reports a novel homozygous mutation in the DST gene causing a unique form of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with prurigo papules in a 39-year-old Syrian man.

This study found that LC-MS/MS assays provided more reliable and precise steroid measurements in human serum compared to traditional immunoassays, particularly at lower concentrations.

This study introduces a novel in vitro model for clubfoot fibrosis to enable high-throughput drug screening and found that while the model increased collagen deposition, the antifibrotic drug minoxidil effectively inhibited the expression of collagen cross-linking enzymes.

This study developed a mathematical model and online tool using serum AMH, androstenedione levels, UML, and BMI to screen for undiagnosed PCOS, particularly useful for Asian populations.

This review compiles existing research on ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) as a biomarker for myocardial ischemia, highlighting current gaps in understanding its formation and detection, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that a 3D wound model, the 3DWoundSE, showed improved responsiveness to injury and cytotoxic stimuli compared to an intact 3D skin equivalent, offering a reproducible and ethical alternative to animal models for early wound response assessment in dermatological research and drug development.

This source outlines the development of a comprehensive system for evaluating the safety and efficacy of cosmetics in China compared to established practices in Europe and the U.S., highlighting factors like AI technologies and specific product categories such as anti-aging and sun protection.
