This study found that obese patients experienced similar weight loss on a very low-calorie diet and total fast, but the diet was associated with fewer complications.

This study found that Wnt secretion is important for skin homeostasis in mice, as Evi-deficient mice developed skin lesions resembling psoriasis and showed immune cell imbalance.

This study found that androgenic hormone levels did not explain growth differences between furless and furred male rabbits, despite a potential growth advantage in furless rabbits.

Pax9 is crucial for proper tongue surface development and preventing skin-like changes.

This case report describes a 28-year-old woman with facial, abdominal, and thigh hirsutism who showed little improvement after 5 months of Metformin and spironolactone treatment.

In this study, topical extracts of Mylabris phalerata Pall. were observed to promote hair growth in mice, potentially indicating its benefit for hair growth activity at low doses.

This study suggests that topical minoxidil may be a promising treatment for isolated autosomal recessive woolly hair due to LIPH mutations, although effective treatments are not yet established.

This study found that dermal papilla cells from balding scalp follicles secrete significantly less insulin-like growth factor-1 and its binding proteins, suggesting a mechanism contributing to male pattern baldness.

In this study, subcutaneous injections of murine epidermal growth factor in marsupial pouch young inhibited the formation of hair follicles and associated structures, altering normal follicle development.

This study found that individualized homeopathic medicine can significantly improve outcomes in patients with alopecia areata, including complete hair regrowth and reduced SALT scores within 5 to 12 months, without relapse, and shows promise for alopecia universalis through targeted miasmatic and constitutional remedies.

This article reviews the role of vasoactive intestinal peptide in maintaining immune privilege in hair follicles and does not report new findings; the authors propose it as essential for immune homeostasis in alopecia areata.

This study found that a combination of four transcription factors can transform mouse fibroblasts into cells resembling inner ear hair cells, potentially aiding research into hearing loss treatments.

This case report discusses a 35-year-old man with progressive alopecia areata who did not respond to minoxidil treatment but offers no new clinical trial results.

Among Australian fur seals at one colony, this study found that alopecia, primarily affecting juvenile females, is linked to hair shaft fractures associated with low tyrosine and zinc levels, as well as higher pollutant exposure.

This case report identifies a novel AR gene mutation in an adolescent with primary amenorrhea, suggesting that CAIS should be considered when evaluating patients with a female phenotype and breast development.

This case report describes a young woman with hypopituitarism who experienced hair loss typical of female androgenetic alopecia without detectable androgens, suggesting this hair loss pattern may not always be androgen dependent.

In this study, murine follicular cell aggregates developed into hair-like structures in culture, which upon implantation into mice skin matured into complete hair follicles, suggesting potential for treating hair loss.

This study identified genetic regions evolving at different rates in hairless mammals, suggesting that specific genomic changes may contribute to the evolution of hairlessness across various species.

This study found that experimentally induced iodine deficiency in growing male lambs led to hypothyroidism, resulting in stunted growth, reduced wool production, and disrupted sexual maturity.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with lamellar ichthyosis who showed marked improvement in scaling and skin stiffness after six weeks of treatment with emollient and supportive therapy.

This study identified major criteria including ectodermal malformations for diagnosing ichthyosis with confetti, and revealed significant genetic variation in the disease locus within the general population.

In this study, fiber implantation for pattern baldness was deemed ineffective and resulted in complications such as infection, scarring, and permanent hair loss, making it an unacceptable treatment option.

This study found that HIF-P4H-2 function in FoxD1-lineage cells is crucial for normal hair follicle development and homeostasis in mice, implicating disrupted HIF, TGF-β, and Notch signaling pathways in associated defects.

Bald men with male pattern baldness still have hair stem cells, but lack certain cells needed for hair growth.

Bald men with male pattern baldness still have hair stem cells, but lack certain cells needed for hair growth.

This study found that Hairless protein down-regulates Msx2 expression, affecting hair follicle formation in Hairpoor mice by altering the MSX2 regulatory pathway.

This study identified key genes and miRNAs involved in feather morphogenesis in Zhedong White geese, highlighting a negative correlation between FOXO3 and miR-144-y.
