This study found that hypertrophic chondrocytes at the fracture callus border may convert to osteoblasts, influenced by vasculature and pluripotency gene expression.

This study found that the pH-sensitive hydrogel HECHA13, containing isoliquiritigenin, effectively inhibited the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and showed promise for transdermal delivery in acne treatment.

This review assesses the benefits and limitations of various supramolecular hydrogels, including polymeric and peptide-based types, for wound healing, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, a silk-inspired hydrogel system was developed that combines photodynamic therapy and wound healing, which may significantly reduce melanoma recurrence and enhance healing of infected wounds.

In this study, researchers developed a wearable red and blue LED patch and a sprayable fibrin gel to treat infected wounds at home, demonstrating effective infection control and enhanced wound healing in diabetic mice and minipigs.

In this study, the RADA-PRG hydrogel enhanced SKP proliferation, survival, and gene expression, effectively supporting hair follicle regeneration in mice.

This research investigated aqueous alginate-based hydrogels for delivering minoxidil and reported that using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) with molar substitution 0.65 significantly enhanced minoxidil's solubility and skin permeability without damaging the epidermis, suggesting potential as an alternative to commercial minoxidil solutions.

This study observed that dermal papilla cell aggregates showed increased viability and gene expression on softer 3D substrates, indicating the importance of substrate stiffness in cellular behavior.

This study developed an antimicrobial microneedle patch for delivering apoptotic vesicles to treat infected wounds, which was found to effectively reduce bacterial growth and accelerate scarless healing, including the rapid formation of mature hair follicles in just 8 days, a previously unreported early outcome.

In a study on diabetic mice, researchers developed a protein-based hydrogel that leverages zinc ions and the natural compound phellopterin to promote cutaneous nerve regeneration, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling in diabetic wounds, highlighting its potential for advanced wound therapy.

This study found that a newly developed supramolecular FPC hydrogel effectively promotes wound healing through its anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties, making it a promising material for wilderness first aid due to its storage convenience, sprayability, and ability to speed up wound recovery.

In this study, researchers developed mango pectin-based hair gels for traction alopecia in black women, finding the gels exhibited beneficial properties for hair and good stability, suggesting potential as phytocosmetic treatments without common adverse effects.

In this study, researchers developed and tested hair gels using pectin from mango and coconut oil as a potential natural treatment for traction alopecia in black women, reporting stability in some formulations and rheological properties that may support their use in innovative phytocosmetics.

This study demonstrated that cryogelation of human hair keratin allows the development of 3D scaffolds with tunable properties, supporting cell adhesion and proliferation for potential biomedical applications.

Oral dutasteride, minoxidil, and finasteride may help reduce hair loss in breast cancer survivors, but more research is needed.

This review highlights that hair's chemical bonds, particularly disulfide bonds, are not homogeneous, as previously thought, but instead vary in response to different cosmetic treatments, suggesting a need for further exploration of ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions.

The authors concluded that a finasteride every other month regimen had similar maintenance effects to a daily regimen in men with androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses recent advances in scarless wound healing research, focusing on the roles of mechanobiology and immunology, and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the potential of next-generation human skin equivalents in understanding these mechanisms.

This study found no significant difference in the tensile properties of hair from different scalp positions, suggesting that microscopic structural heterogeneities may play a role.

In this randomized trial of Iranian men with moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia, researchers found that both finasteride and dutasteride improved hair density over 24 weeks, with dutasteride showing stronger PSA reduction but similar safety to finasteride.

In this study, the addition of a topical gel containing growth-factor mimicking oligopeptides and other ingredients showed improved efficacy in subjects with androgenic alopecia using minoxidil or finasteride compared to drug treatment alone.

This article reviews how skin manifestations can aid in diagnosing various systemic diseases, focusing primarily on their association with rheumatologic conditions while also addressing vascular, granulomatous, and other disease impacts, aiming to provide dermatologists with practical diagnostic insights.

This review explores how recombinant protein hydrogels, employing molecular engineering and crosslinking strategies, offer advanced applications in regenerative medicine by mimicking extracellular matrix dynamics and providing enhanced mechanical, environmental, and biological properties.

This study found that a sucrose-based crosslinker can effectively straighten hair and maintain durability in high humidity and through repeated washings without affecting the hair's tensile properties or causing surface damage.

In this study, the application of Dr. SKS Hair Booster Serum, containing micronutrients and multivitamins, significantly improved hair density and reduced hair fall in 1,000 patients with androgenetic alopecia over six months, with no major adverse events reported and 95% patient satisfaction.

This review summarizes the use of autologous platelet concentrates in aesthetic medicine, finding promising results for facial treatments, but highlights the need for more rigorous research due to current study limitations.

This review concludes that platelet-rich plasma treatment is effective for androgenetic alopecia, with recommendations for a specific volume, frequency, and duration of therapy for optimal results.

This review article highlights recent advances in microneedle technology for wound healing and tissue regeneration, discussing various cargo types, structural designs, and fabrication methods, and suggesting guidelines for designing microneedle systems tailored to specific applications.

This study used a new statistical approach, PLACO, to identify several novel shared genetic regions associated with both Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer in two large GWAS datasets.
