This study reports a highly sensitive MEMS silicon-hair device that mimics hair follicle functions by detecting minimal forces and moments, including electrostatic attraction and surface tension of liquids.

In this animal study, applying a combination of inositol-stabilized arginine silicate complex and magnesium biotinate promoted hair growth but not nail growth.

This study reports the development of a MEMS silicon-hair device capable of detecting minute forces and moments, replicating the sensory functions of human hair follicles with high sensitivity.

In this study using guinea pigs, the low-dose 800 nm semiconductor laser was found to effectively treat skin blackheads and coarse pores by promoting hair follicle cell apoptosis, while maintaining PCNA expression levels in sebaceous glands.

In this study, researchers found a significant association between the rs13405699 SNP at 2q31.1 and male pattern baldness among Han Chinese men, suggesting genetic influence on this condition in this population.

In this study of male patients with 46,XY 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, DHT therapy was effective in achieving penile enlargement during infancy, while testosterone replacement therapy proved more beneficial during puberty, possibly due to increased conversion to DHT.

This study found no correlation between lipid markers and androgenetic alopecia severity, but noted a potential link between lower HDL levels and more severe alopecia in women.

This scoping review found that while some small human pilot trials of extracellular vesicles as therapeutics showed promising outcomes, variability in study design and lack of placebo controls limit definitive conclusions about their safety and efficacy.

This review summarizes existing knowledge on the role of FOXN1 as a key regulator of thymic epithelial cell lineage and function, reporting no new experimental results.

This study reports that men with androgenic alopecia experience altered neuroactive steroid levels associated with persistent depression symptoms even after stopping finasteride treatment.

This study found that patients with post-finasteride syndrome exhibited major depressive disorder, severe erectile dysfunction, and neuropathy, alongside altered neuroactive steroid levels in cerebrospinal fluid.

This study found that lymphatic vessels in mice are important for hair follicle development and organization, as their depletion blocks hair growth.

This study explored the effects of a new narrow-band red LED light on hair growth in mice, showing potential benefits compared to existing laser therapies.

This study found that the dual-wavelength non-ablative fractional laser provides enhanced skin rejuvenation by increasing thermal lesion coverage and collagen remodeling compared to using the CO2 laser alone in an ex vivo setting.

This review discusses the human Nude/SCID phenotype and FOXN1 gene's role in immunological disorders affecting T-cell development but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that MED1 plays a role in maintaining keratinocyte quiescence and hair follicle stem cell populations, as its absence in mice led to increased keratinocyte proliferation and reduced stem cell numbers.

This review discusses the evidence for using oral medications to treat central serous chorioretinopathy, highlighting eplerenone as having the most support despite a lack of robust efficacy across studies.

This study reported that structure-guided engineering of CYP154C2 mutants significantly improved the 2α-hydroxylation of androstenedione and testosterone, with enhanced conversion efficiency and substrate selectivity compared to the wild-type enzyme.

This study reviewed the challenges of delivering nucleic acids for gene therapy, highlighting the limitations of non-viral vehicles and exploring bioinspired strategies using cell membrane camouflage for improved delivery efficacy.

This review discusses the relationship between ectodermal alterations and immunodeficiencies, particularly the roles of hyper-IgE syndrome, ectodermal dysplasia, and FOXN1 gene mutations, but it presents no new research findings.

This study found that the PVP protocol, combining Peptichemio, vincristine, and 6-methylprednisolone, resulted in remission for diffuse non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with moderate side effects.

The study's findings are unreliable due to retraction.

This report presents a case of hereditary elliptocytosis in a 37-year-old woman with iron deficiency anemia, identifying a high percentage of elliptocytes in her blood after treatment.

This study found that anifrolumab effectively reduced disease activity and allowed for corticosteroid tapering in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus at Kanazawa University Hospital.

This study found that patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who were treated with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors had lower recurrence rates and higher recurrence-free survival rates compared to untreated patients.

In this study, researchers evaluated the efficacy of a collagen booster used alongside CO2 fractional laser treatment for skin aging, finding that the combination treatment affected the vascularization and healing process of the skin on a healthy adult's forearm.

In this study, researchers identified a three-step process underlying age-related curved hair from cyclical extension: surface lipid transfer, specific disulfide bond cleavage, and unraveling of α-helices into β-structures, which may inform care strategies to manage hair curvature.

This study found that 675 nm laser treatment improved androgenetic alopecia in Indian patients, resulting in significant increases in hair count, density, and thickness after 14 sessions, enhancing the anagen phase and other hair-related parameters.

This study identified lymphatic vessels as crucial components of the hair follicle stem cell niche, coordinating connections and contributing to hair follicle regeneration in mice.

This study observed low levels of zinc, copper, iron, and selenium in the plasma and hair of Ukrainian adults, suggesting a need for better nutritional interventions; it highlighted higher hair zinc levels in individuals with COVID-19 history potentially due to more frequent zinc supplementation.
