This source describes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Evolutionary Medicine, summarizing over 100 scientific presentations focused on human development, health, and adaptation in changing environments, and commemorating Vilnius University's historical contributions to auxology and evolutionary medicine.

This review explores emerging therapies for hair regrowth, highlighting two strategies: hair follicle neogenesis and Wnt/B-catenin pathway modulation, which show promise for treating alopecia by potentially offering more effective options than existing treatments.

This study's model suggests that low androgen levels can increase selection for prostate cancer phenotypes resistant to hormonal therapy, potentially leading to more aggressive forms of cancer.

This study suggests that variations in PCOS phenotypes observed across different ethnic groups may be due to a genetic gradient resulting from historical human migrations and genetic drift.

In this study, researchers found that the evolutionary and structural features of the oFGF5 gene in sheep may influence hair follicle development and hair growth regulation.

This study reports that caspase-14's expression pattern in the epidermis and hair follicles is highly conserved across diverse mammalian species, suggesting its early evolutionary role in mammalian skin maturation.

Hair graying may help prevent cancer by protecting stem cells.

This study found that humans have a much higher eccrine gland density than chimpanzees and macaques, suggesting a unique evolutionary path for human skin features.

This study suggests that male pattern baldness is primarily caused by heat stress in the brain rather than DHT toxicity, and personal experiments with menthol cooling have shown significant reduction in hair loss.

This review discusses the modern production methods, mechanisms of action, and various uses of platelet-rich plasma in medicine, highlighting promising applications but noting the need for more high-quality research.

In this study, the researchers reported extensive gene loss and high pseudogenization rates of α-keratin genes in cetaceans compared to terrestrial mammals, likely linked to hair loss and aquatic adaptations.

This article explores the structure of mammal body hair and the challenges in explaining its evolutionary origins, reporting no new empirical findings.

This theoretical research project proposes the Carnivore Follicular Integrity Framework, suggesting that animal-based diets may support hair follicle stability through various evolutionary and mechanistic pathways.

This source provides supplementary materials for the Carnivore Follicular Integrity Framework, a theoretical model proposing that animal-based diets may support hair follicle stability through several biological mechanisms. The materials include definitions, nutrient tables, and mechanistic notes but do not report empirical results.

This record provides supplementary materials for a theoretical model suggesting that animal-based diets may support hair follicle stability through various biological mechanisms, including regenerative peptides and anti-glycation protection.

This study found that genetic predictions of male pattern baldness derived from European data do not accurately predict baldness in African populations, highlighting significant continental differences in genetic architecture and evolutionary history.

This study found that keratins have evolutionarily conserved and domain-selectively enriched amino acids, which likely reflect their unique structural roles, with distinct patterns observed among epidermal, hair, and simple-type epithelial keratins.

This study characterizes a type II keratin intermediate filament gene family involved in early sheep follicle differentiation, detailing gene expression patterns and sequences in hair cortical cells.

The article concludes that studying how skin forms is key to understanding skin diseases and improving regenerative medicine.

This commentary highlights the potential of using transgenic and genome-edited mouse models to validate findings from livestock genomic and multi-omic analyses, aiding in the understanding of economically significant animal traits.

This research observed that sheep and rabbit KAP6 genes, expressed in hair follicle cells, have high sequence similarity and indicate conservation due to evolutionary selection pressures.

In this study, researchers found that the EDMTFH protein is present in specific layers of the chicken embryo skin and feathers, suggesting its role in feather mechanics and development.

This study found that the Hr gene loss and positive selection for the FGF5 gene in cetaceans likely contributed to hair loss as these animals adapted to aquatic environments.

This article reviews the generation of complex integument patterns through genetic, chemical, and environmental influences, with applications in tissue engineering, but reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the molecular and functional aspects of the nude gene in skin biology, providing insights into its role and evolutionary development, but reports no new results.

This observational study provides cause-specific mortality estimates to help patients and physicians better understand long-term outcomes for localized prostate cancer based on initial treatment choices.

Human hair is unique and important for understanding human evolution and identity.

This review discusses the developmental plasticity between teeth and taste buds in cichlid fishes and reports no new experimental findings, highlighting potential implications for craniofacial organ patterning and regeneration.
