This report describes a study of estuarine bed-sediment quality in New Jersey and New York post-Hurricane Sandy, focusing on contamination extent and potential long-term impacts, with no new findings included.

This report describes a case where a sex reassignment patient on estrogen therapy experienced complete hair regrowth on a previously fully alopecic scalp.

This study found no significant association between selected gene variants and female pattern hair loss, suggesting these genes might not be involved in its development.

Detecting steroid esters in cattle hair is inconsistent and influenced by sampling factors.

In this study, 17β-estradiol increased VEGF production in differentiated THP-1 cells, while dihydrotestosterone counteracted this effect by modulating adenylate cyclase activity.

This letter discusses how outdated measurement technology may obscure evidence of essential fatty acid deficiency in low-fat diet patients, potentially leading to undiagnosed EFA insufficiencies related to heart disease.

This study established an efficient short-term culture system for human hair follicle stem cells using human fibronectin and ROCK inhibitor Y-27632, enhancing cell proliferation and stemness for potential applications in hair follicle tissue engineering.

This study established a rat model of radiation-induced dermatitis using 90 Gy irradiation, which may aid in exploring new treatments and understanding the pathology, particularly highlighting autophagy regulation as a potential therapeutic target.

This study demonstrates that keratinocyte cell lines derived from cultured hair follicles can fully differentiate in organotypic skin models, offering a minimally invasive alternative to obtaining keratinocytes for research.

In this study, researchers established five new immortalized human dermal papilla cell lines from a male with androgenetic alopecia, which may serve as valuable tools for hair research.

The estradiol valerate/dienogest oral contraceptive helps with heavy periods, may improve acne and symptoms in PCOS, and doesn't affect sexual function.

This commentary discusses the potential of natural volatiles in medical aromatherapy, highlighting their ability to synergize with other drugs and modulate biological processes, but reports no new results.

This study reported that women with female androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower zinc levels in both serum and hair, and lower hair iron levels, compared to healthy controls.

This review discusses the phytoconstituents and biological properties of T. orientalis and T. occidentalis, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the diagnostic challenges of androgen and estrogen-secreting adrenal tumors and highlights that the presence of metastases is the most reliable indicator of malignancy; it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, targeted inactivation of the integrin-linked kinase gene in melanoblasts led to defects in cell migration, proliferation, and ability to populate the skin, implicating an integrin-linked kinase-Rac1 connection in melanocyte function.

This study found that the estrous cycle influences the effect of the δ-GABAAR agonist THIP in reducing binge drinking behavior in female mice, with receptor expression elevated during diestrus.

The authors concluded that utilizing clock gene expression from hair follicle cells may improve circadian-phase estimation in clinical settings, aiding the detection of circadian-related sleep problems despite social time constraints.

This study reported that a 19-year-old man's essential fatty acid deficiency was reversed with daily topical application of linoleic acid, improving clinical symptoms and normalizing certain fatty acid levels.

This case report found that a linoleic acid topical application reversed essential fatty acid deficiency and improved scalp dermatitis, alopecia, and hair depigmentation in a 19-year-old patient on fat-free intravenous nutrition.

This study reported that applying natural or artificial folliculoid compounds to mouse skin caused estrous-like changes in internal sex organs, but did not lead to cancerous skin changes.

This study describes the development of a new embryonic stem cell culture system that allows for the differentiation into mature hair follicle cells, potentially aiding research in hair follicle formation and regeneration.

This review discusses the components and effects of various hair cosmetic procedures and explores new techniques like camouflage methods and tattoo scalp, without reporting new clinical results.

This survey estimates that the number of follicular units with "permanent" hair available for transplant varies based on hair density and projected male pattern baldness type, providing guidelines for realistic surgical goals.

This review discusses the potential role of vitamin D deficiency in cardiovascular and renal diseases and suggests that supplemental vitamin D could benefit cardiovascular outcomes, especially in African American and postmenopausal women; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study identified several genes regulated by dihydrotestosterone in an SV40T-transformed human dermal papilla cell line, which may play a role in androgen-mediated hair growth regulation.

This study found that progesterone levels were higher and increased significantly throughout pregnancy, contrasting with stable levels in non-pregnant women.

This study found that estazolam improved PTSD-like behavior deficits in an animal model, which was linked to increased allopregnanolone levels in specific brain regions.

This study in male mice found that testosterone provides strong protection against skin necrosis after ischemia, working through its estrogenic and androgenic derivatives to enhance skin survival and revascularization, with 17β-estradiol being notably more effective than dihydrotestosterone.

The researchers concluded that their new reconstructed human epidermis model from plucked hair follicle-derived keratinocytes offers a safer and simpler alternative to traditional skin-derived models for studying epidermal function.
