This study found that patients with alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia showed increased c-kit expression and decreased Ki-67 expression in hair follicle cells compared to controls, suggesting a possible feedback mechanism involving stem cell factor signaling.

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.

This study observed that dermatophytosis, primarily caused by fungi like M. canis, is the most common fungal skin infection in cats, often resolving spontaneously except in young or immunocompromised animals.

This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells demonstrated enhanced wound healing capabilities compared to umbilical cord-derived stem cells in laboratory and animal models.

This study found that treatment with human foreskin fibroblast conditioned medium improved both objective measures like hair density and subjective satisfaction in patients with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that treating hair with aqueous KCN converts disulfide bonds to monosulfide crosslinks, affecting the elasticity and crosslink distribution in hair microstructures.

In this study, researchers evaluated the antifungal effectiveness of topical products on infected kitten hair, finding most were effective after one application, with enilconazole and lime sulfur showing residual activity; however, 0.15% ketoconazole with chlorhexidine had no such lasting effect.

In this report, the potential connection between Merkel cell carcinoma and Curvularia lunata infection in an elderly patient is discussed, highlighting the need for precise diagnostic methods and suggesting that surgery combined with the antifungal voriconazole may be a viable treatment option.

In human hair follicle keratinocytes, this study found that treatment with the pharmacological inhibitor QLT0267 led to a strong inhibition of proliferation and migration and induced nearly 100% apoptosis.

This study observed that human hair keratin showed distinct morphological features depending on the dissolution speed, which could have potential applications in clinical settings for developing self-tendons.

In this study, R-CSLM showed promise in evaluating hair shaft diseases by providing high-quality images of hair structures, although further development is necessary for follicle and perifollicular area analysis.

This study reports a case where cyclosporine effectively treated a 51-year-old woman with idiopathic follicular mucinosis resistant to other therapies, suggesting its potential as an option for refractory cases.

In this study, DataDerm revealed that from 2016 to 2022, a majority of patients diagnosed with keratinocyte carcinoma were male, predominantly white, and commonly between 56-75 years old, with most living in urban areas and having a history of non-melanoma skin cancer.

This study found that keratin filament networks in SG1 cells of mice undergo dynamic changes during cornification, impacting the barrier function of the stratum corneum.

In this study, researchers developed a carboxylated β-cyclodextrin formulation to enhance finasteride's physicochemical properties, achieving an encapsulation efficiency of about 85% and indicating potential for controlled drug release in therapeutic applications. Their findings suggest this inclusion complex could improve delivery of hydrophobic drugs like finasteride.

This study found that kaempferol may stimulate hair growth in androgenetic alopecia by enhancing dermal papilla cell function and reducing dihydrotestosterone-induced damage, showing comparable efficacy to finasteride in a mouse model.

In this study, FCE 28260 showed greater potency than finasteride in inhibiting 5α-reductase enzymes and reducing prostate DHT levels in rats.

Keratin 79 cells help form and regenerate hair canals.

This study found that a microneedle array patch using a blend of kangfuxin, chitosan, and fucoidan significantly accelerated wound healing in rats by enhancing epithelial thickness and collagen deposition.

This study found that in vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy accurately quantifies neogenic hair follicles in mice, producing results similar to histology while avoiding fixation artifacts.

This article discusses a novel mutation in the FERMT1 gene identified in a Spanish family with Kindler’s syndrome but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Follicular Maps, derived from trichoscopic images, remained consistent over time and unaffected by hair cycling or noncicatricial alopecia, offering a precise tool for diagnosing and monitoring hair and scalp conditions.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenge of inverted follicular keratosis, emphasizing the importance of histopathology for accurate differentiation from malignancies.

This review discusses the multifunctional role of PKM2 in promoting cardiac repair and regeneration, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in cardiovascular medicine, but reports no new experimental results.

This study suggests that basal cell carcinoma and trichoblastoma may share differentiation toward the hair follicle, as indicated by strong positivity in CK 15, follistatin, and Bmi‐1 markers.

This study found that stem cell factor combined with fibronectin and type IV collagen promotes migration of amelanotic melanocytes, which may help explain their movement during vitiligo repigmentation.

This study found that men with Kennedy disease have a significantly lower risk of androgenetic alopecia, likely due to androgen receptor gene alterations from the disease's polyglutamine expansion.

Corni Fructus extract may help manage benign prostatic hyperplasia by reducing prostate cell growth and inflammation.

This study found that a complex filling material made from autologous skin fibroblasts and hair keratin significantly improved the appearance of facial wrinkles, suggesting potential for clinical cosmetic applications.

This study found that in androgenetic alopecia, reduced stem cell factor production by dermal papilla cells may lead to decreased pigmentation in hair follicles.
