This study found that finasteride significantly reduced dihydrotestosterone levels but did not provide clear evidence of impaired libido or erectile function compared to placebo in men.

This study found that hair shaft keratin proteins can be reliably identified from samples as small as 0.12 cm, suggesting their potential forensic utility with typical casework sample sizes.

This study found that combining platelet-rich plasma therapy with minoxidil was more effective in treating androgenetic alopecia in men than either treatment alone.

This case report describes a 5-year-old boy with extensive epidermal nevus who experienced marked improvement using a topical calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate combination ointment.

Hair transplantation effectively treated a woman's patchy hair loss when other treatments failed.

This study found that specific enzymes could be detected in fresh hair sheath cells, with most remaining detectable in older cells, except for Adenylate kinase and Esterase D.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing and managing polycystic ovary syndrome and highlights the need for an integrated, multidisciplinary healthcare model tailored to the diverse needs of women with PCOS; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that a 400-mg dose of oral testosterone with dutasteride increases serum testosterone levels for 8–10 hours in hypogonadal men, with the nanomilled formulation unaffected by food, suggesting a practical twice-daily therapy option.

Taking 5 mg/day finasteride can cause side effects in women with hair loss, but these are usually mild and fade over time, making the treatment beneficial in the long run.

This article describes a new surgical technique called "hair-lifting" for treating male-pattern alopecia, which involves removing sections of bald scalp and repositioning remaining hair.

This study found that oral dutasteride increased hair count more than intralesional administration in androgenetic alopecia, but more research is needed for a reliable comparison.

This review discusses the fermented wheat germ extract Avemar as a potential adjunctive therapy in cancer treatment, noting promising laboratory results, but reports limited human trial evidence for its clinical effectiveness.

Microscopic hair features can identify different Cauda Cervi species.

This study found that both intralesional steroid injections and Jessener solution were more effective than saline in treating alopecia areata, with no significant difference between the two active treatments.

This study found that cultured foreskin is not suitable for studying H2A.J-related tissue changes during radiation-induced dermatitis due to existing high H2A.J expression and cytokine secretion even without irradiation.

This study suggests that collecting hair samples from all scalp regions may be a viable alternative for measuring cortisol in individuals with Afro-textured or extremely short hair, aligning results with traditional methods.

This study by Dr. Manka and colleagues reported that thyroid hormones play a significant role in regulating hepatic stellate cells, influencing liver fibrosis progression via TGFβ signaling. They found that TRα signaling might enhance scar-free tissue regeneration, offering potential pathways for targeted liver fibrosis treatments.

This study found that using insulin-like growth factor 1 with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in a collagen-chitosan scaffold enhanced wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in rats.

This review explores the eggshell matrix as a potential sustainable and cost-effective alternative source for glycosaminoglycans, but highlights the need for further research to enhance extraction techniques and economic viability.

This study suggests that using stable isotope analysis on various tissues can effectively reconstruct individual life histories, providing insights into both the individual and broader population from the Romano-Christian period in Egypt.

Achieving original hair density with transplants is unrealistic; skilled practitioners are essential for the best results.

In this research, Holstein cows immunized with human hair keratin produced antibodies in both colostrum and regular milk that specifically bind to hair keratin, enhancing hair tensile strength without affecting skin keratin.

This study found that an acellular dermal matrix derived from tilapia skin significantly accelerated wound healing and improved tissue regeneration quality in mouse and pig models compared to a commercial porcine-derived matrix, suggesting its potential as a safe, cost-effective bioscaffold for skin repair.

This study is collecting real-world data to evaluate abrocitinib and conventional systemic treatments in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis across five European registers over a three-year period.

This article reviews surgical approaches for correcting cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need for careful assessment of scar stability and ongoing medical treatment before and after hair restoration, but reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that intralesional botulinum toxin A effectively alleviated pain associated with cutaneous leiomyomas in a patient with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer syndrome, with repeated treatments every three months maintaining pain relief over 1.5 years.

This study found that hair samples effectively captured average estradiol levels over time in both humans and monkeys, using a validated double-extraction protocol.

This review discusses the potential of stem cell therapies for regenerating hair in nonautoimmune hair loss and calls for more studies to evaluate their efficacy.

This report describes a case where previously poorly implanted hairs were successfully recycled through follicular unit extraction to improve hair density and patient satisfaction in androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses transplantation of melanocyte stem cells for vitiligo treatment and reports no new clinical results; it suggests the procedure could be effective in reactivating melanocyte precursors for repigmentation.
