118 citations
,
May 2003 in “Toxicological Sciences” This study found that prenatal exposure to finasteride in rats led to permanent changes in developmental endpoints like anogenital distance and nipple retention, which were predictive of further reproductive tract malformations.

May 2024 in “PLoS Biology” This study on feather pattern formation in chicken skin found that inhibiting gap junctional intercellular communication can lead to the emergence of new feather buds in specific spatial patterns, suggesting that GJIC may facilitate Turing-type periodic patterning by propagating inhibitory signals over long distances.
October 2023 in “Dermatology practical & conceptual” This study observed that among 120 patients recovering from COVID-19, severe diffuse hair loss typically began less than two months post-infection, with the majority of patients experiencing a severe degree of hair loss and positive hair pull tests, often alongside vitamin D deficiency.
November 2024 in “Image Analysis & Stereology” This study introduced a novel, weakly supervised method for segmenting hair in Scanning Electron Microscope images using simple image-level annotations, achieving over 30% improvement in mean Hausdorff Distance compared to Unet and SAM, while enhancing interpretability and refinement.

November 2012 in “International Journal of Dermatology” This study of African-American women found that those perceiving greater hair breakage showed lower break stress and higher premature failure rates, linked to grooming practices and hair curvature.
31 citations
,
January 2010 in “GenomeBiology.com (London. Print)” This study reports that X chromosomes often show greater differentiation between human populations than autosomes, likely due to a mix of demography and selection pressures.
21 citations

February 2024 in “Dermatology and Therapy” The study found that a single autologous micrografting treatment using Rigenera® technology significantly improved the appearance of stretch marks in healthy women after three months, showing greater enhancements in skin properties compared to microneedling alone.
November 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This double-blinded randomized clinical trial found that combining topical vitamin D analog (calcipotriol) and intra-lesion PRP led to a greater reduction in hair loss severity in alopecia areata patients compared to either treatment alone, with significant improvements observed across all groups.
November 2020 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study conducted in a hair restoration clinic found that using the vertical scalp mobility method resulted in a significantly greater number of hairs available from the donor strip compared to the horizontal method, with an increase of approximately 970 hairs (P < .05).
