This study found that polymeric micelle nanocarriers delivered pharmacologically relevant amounts of spironolactone to the epidermis and upper dermis, with higher delivery to pilosebaceous units, suggesting potential for treating glucocorticoid-induced impaired wound healing and pilosebaceous androgen-related skin diseases.

This study found that insect wax can significantly promote hair growth in mice in a way that is comparable to minoxidil, likely due to the upregulation of VEGF expression.

In this case report, a 64-year-old patient with chemotherapy-induced alopecia was treated with oral minoxidil and experienced good results, suggesting a potential new therapy for this challenging condition.

This article reviews strategies for planning and executing follicle graft harvesting using the strip technique, discussing procedural details but reporting no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers devised a stochastic hair growth model influenced by regular haircuts, using a process that undergoes linear growth subject to random resets, and used it to theoretically determine an ideal haircut routine.

This study found that pre-treatment with a stimulating cream shampoo significantly increased Minoxidil penetration into hair follicles and the scalp compared to using Minoxidil alone.

This review discusses common mistakes in follicular unit transplantation and provides guidance for practitioners to enhance patient outcomes, but reports no new clinical results.

Better understanding of hair patterns and advanced techniques are crucial for improving hair restoration and removal outcomes.

This article reviews the principles of donor and recipient dominance in hair transplantation and reports no new experimental results.

This editorial on hair transplantation from 1985 reports no new study results.

This review discusses the growing use of scalp hair for elemental analysis in various fields and highlights advancements in analysis techniques, including the future potential of laser ablation ICP-MS, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that rat whisker follicle stem cells can be expanded in culture and transplanted to form functional hair follicles, demonstrating their multipotency and potential for regenerative medicine.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells initially contribute to wound re-epithelialization, but long-lasting epidermal cells are primarily derived from a stem cell population in the isthmus portion of hair follicles.

This review explores the mechanisms of adult stem cell self-renewal, using skin as a model, and reports no new results but raises important unanswered questions in the field.

In this study, researchers found that bulge cells in mouse hair follicles undergo transient proliferation during early anagen, indicating their role as follicular stem cells. However, another factor beyond dermal papilla proximity may be required to initiate a new anagen phase.

This study suggests that miniaturization in pattern hair loss may occur abruptly and can be reversed with treatment, as supported by histologic evidence in finasteride-responsive patients.

This study developed minoxidil sulphate-loaded chitosan nanoparticles that doubled drug delivery to hair follicles in vitro compared to a control solution, suggesting potential for improved alopecia treatment.

This study found that nanocapsules formulated as a dispersion and applied with massage may enhance follicular uptake of clobetasol propionate while minimizing its skin penetration, offering a potential improvement over conventional treatments for scalp diseases.

This study concluded that sebaceous glands are the main pathway for the antiandrogen RU 58841 to permeate the skin, with liposomes enhancing localization in these glands.

This review discusses the use of antimüllerian hormone as a marker of ovarian reserve in infertility diagnosis and treatment, noting it reflects oocyte quantity but not health or pregnancy likelihood.

In this study, β-catenin overexpression in human hair outer root sheath cells increased the expression of Pitx2, which activated the follicular differentiation pathway, suggesting Pitx2's potential role as a modulator in hair growth control.

Artificially inducing hair regrowth in mice can change the normal pattern and timing of hair growth, with minimal color differences between old and new fur.

This review revisits the mechanisms of wound induced hair follicle neogenesis in mice and concludes that the process involves canonical WNT signaling activated by Fgf9 from γδ T cells, but more research is needed to fully understand its cellular bases.

This study found that topical minoxidil solutions showed the highest skin permeation at 3-4% concentrations, with crystallization occurring at a 5% concentration due to vehicle component evaporation.

Hair treatments like bleaching increase friction by exposing tiny pores on the hair surface.

This review discusses current medical and surgical treatments for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the use of finasteride and minoxidil for men and the role of hair transplantation techniques, without providing new clinical results.

This review discusses nonsurgical techniques for facial masculinization and feminization in transgender patients and reports no new clinical findings, utilizing data from analogous procedures in cisgender individuals.

This study reported that exposure to 1,763 MHz radiofrequency radiation stimulated hair growth in vitro by inducing insulin-like growth factor-1 expression in cultured human dermal papilla cells.

This study found that adapalene-loaded solid lipid microparticles may enhance targeted drug delivery into sebum due to their similarity to sebum components, although both this formulation and a standard cream showed equivalent follicular penetration.

This study found that excipients significantly influence the effectiveness of curcumin nanocrystals in dermal applications, enhancing or hindering hair follicle targeting and passive diffusion based on their selection.
