This study observed that split-thickness skin grafts for dorsal inlay urethroplasty successfully treated 93% of patients with recurrent anterior urethral stricture who could not undergo buccal mucosal grafting.

This article discusses the use of hair transplantation as a reconstructive method to restore hair in various areas affected by defects, highlighting its advantages in providing natural-looking restoration.

In this study, topical application of Tectona grandis seed extracts on albino mice significantly accelerated hair growth initiation time and increased the percentage of hair follicles in the anagenic phase compared to the standard minoxidil treatment.

This article discusses the contributions of Dr. Shoji Okuda to the field of hair transplantation and reports no new research findings.

This study found that transplanting GFP transgenic tail skin onto wild-type mice leads to partial replacement of dermis, nerves, and blood vessels by recipient tissue after six months, while epidermis, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands persist from the graft.

In this study of hirsute women, researchers found that correlations between hirsutism and hyperandrogenism were observed only in patients with a low LH/FSH ratio.

In this study on rats, botulinum toxin–A injection was reported to reduce contraction in wounds and skin grafts, with changes in inflammation and collagen arrangement also observed.

This study found that increased hair graying was associated with a greater coronary atherosclerotic burden, suggesting it could serve as a risk marker for coronary artery disease independent of age.

This review explores factors affecting graft growth and survival in hair restoration, emphasizing the importance of fundamental care practices while considering advanced storage solutions and additives, but reports no new findings.

This study found that puerarin, derived from Pueraria thunbergiana, may stimulate melanogenesis and prevent follicular depigmentation in a hair graying mouse model.

This study observed that white hair follicles in vitiligo patients may repigment following epithelial grafting and phototherapy, suggesting potential cosmetic improvements in vitiligo treatment.

This study found that both alcoholic and aqueous extracts of Punica granatum L. showed potential for promoting hair growth and exhibited anti-lice and antidandruff activities in a mouse model.

This study observed that balding was associated with lower total body BMD in men and higher hip BMD in women, possibly due to estrogen use in the latter group.

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to create a detailed atlas of human scalp hair follicles and found that early-stage hair graying involves matrix hair progenitor depletion linked to P53 pathway activation.

This study used melamine formaldehyde particles to measure a pH gradient along the hair shaft, showing a significant pH decrease from the hair sheath to the external shaft.

This study suggests that increased Wnt signaling may cause melanocyte stem cell exhaustion, leading to hair graying in aged mice by promoting excessive differentiation of melanocytes.

This study found that basal keratinocytes in engineered skin substitutes showed a proliferative phenotype and potential for long-term replication, which may enhance wound healing stability.

In this study, a superoxide dismutase gel prevented hair graying in mice exposed to photosensitization, suggesting that antioxidants can protect against oxidative damage involved in hair aging.

A woman with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease developed lupus-like skin lesions, improved with treatment, suggesting a unique skin condition in carriers.

This study demonstrated that adding human adipose-derived stem cells to hair follicle germ-like aggregates significantly improved hair shaft generation in transplanted nude mice, suggesting a promising strategy for hair regenerative medicine.

A man developed a rare scalp disorder, Folliculitis Decalvans, 20 years after hair restoration surgery, and it required long-term antibiotic treatment.

This case report describes how a combined nude and hair-bearing full-thickness skin graft was used after micrographic surgery to achieve a cosmetically satisfactory reconstruction of a large eyebrow defect.

This study reports that methotrexate may be a successful and well-tolerated treatment option for patients with generalized granuloma annulare, with 64% showing improvement, although adverse effects like GI upset and hair loss were noted.

This article concludes that finasteride is a safe treatment for androgenetic alopecia and does not increase the risk of high-grade prostate cancer, despite past concerns from the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial.

Acyclovir can prevent rejection of skin grafts in herpes-related lip leucoderma.

This study found that early male hair loss treatment with Puregraft fat and low-dose adipose-derived regenerative cells increased terminal hair counts at 24 weeks compared to a saline control, indicating promise for androgenetic alopecia treatment.

In this study, researchers found that punch grafting was more effective than follicular hair transplantation for treating stable vitiligo; however, follicular hair transplantation was found to be cosmetically preferable for exposed areas like the face due to fewer side effects.

This review discusses premature graying of hair, highlighting risk factors like smoking and vitamin deficiencies, and suggests that addressing underlying conditions may reverse the graying process.

In this study, RT1640 was found to promote hair pigment system regeneration and expand melanocyte stem cell pools in a mouse model, suggesting potential applications for aging-related hair disorders.

Scalp-to-scalp skin grafts quickly heal and hide well under regrown hair, making them good for repairing large scalp defects.
