In this study, university students given open-label placebo treatment reported reduced psychological distress and lower hair cortisol concentrations during stressful exams, suggesting that these placebos may help manage the physiological and psychological impacts of prolonged stress.

This study found that securinine and ajmaline significantly inhibited hepatocellular carcinoma cell viability and induced apoptosis, with securinine showing lower toxicity to normal liver cells.

This review discusses the current medical treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma, noting that while new local therapies show high response rates, their true impact on patient survival is uncertain.

This study observed that hepatocyte-like cells in canine circumanal glands are distinct entities that develop from hair follicle sheaths and later appear within sebaceous glands, without forming typical exocrine ducts.

This study found that age is the most significant risk factor for hemorrhagic cystitis after hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, with additional risk factors including cyclophosphamide-based prophylaxis and, among male recipients, prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that hair sample weight was a better predictor of hair cortisol concentration than hair protein concentration, suggesting that using the standard cortisol-to-weight ratio is more suitable for measuring cumulative cortisol activity in scalp hair.

In this study, researchers found that targeting a tacrolimus trough level of 4–7 ng/mL after liver transplantation resulted in comparable graft and patient survival rates to higher levels, while improving liver and kidney function markers.

This study reports that some human cell surface HLA-I molecules (including HLA-B27) can appear without their usual peptide component, potentially altering immune interactions, influencing arthritis development in specific mice models, and exhibiting upregulation in certain cancer cells.

This study found that hair cortisol did not indicate expected hypercortisolism in acutely underweight anorexia nervosa patients and did not change significantly during short-term weight restoration.

This study found that in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, older age significantly increases the risk of hemorrhagic cystitis, especially in males, who are also affected by prostatic hyperplasia.

This review examines the role of adipose-derived stem cells in cancer treatment, particularly for hepatocellular carcinoma, and reports mixed preclinical and clinical findings, underscoring the need for further research.

This study found that female isotretinoin users who also took oral contraceptives were more likely to experience elevated triglyceride or cholesterol levels.

This study reports that specific hair care practices common among individuals with high-curl-pattern hair could exacerbate seborrheic dermatitis, presenting significant treatment challenges and psychological impacts, and emphasizes the need for further research to tailor culturally sensitive solutions.

Self-collected hair samples can measure stress but may need adjustments for accuracy.

This study found that microneedling with longer needles (3 mm) showed better hair regrowth in dogs with hair cycle arrest, although most experienced recurrent hair loss during follow-up. Some dogs also developed minor, temporary itching.

This abstract discusses the dermatological symptoms associated with hepatitis C virus infections but reports no new research findings.

This review summarizes existing studies on sorafenib, noting its promising effects in some cancers, but also highlights its limitations and potential synergy when combined with other anticancer treatments.

This study found that 9% of tested patients had positive patch test reactions linked to hair care products, with most reactions clinically relevant and commonly involving allergens like p-phenylenediamine.

In this study, peginterferon alfa-2b plus ribavirin therapy in hepatitis C patients was associated with serious adverse drug reactions in 20% of cases, highlighting differences from clinical trial findings.

This study identified corilagin as a major antitumor component in Phyllanthus niruri, with broad-spectrum activity against cancer cells and high content in Dimocarpus longan.

In this case report, lichen myxedematosus associated with hepatocellular carcinoma showed progressive improvement in skin lesions without further treatment following tumor resection.

This case study suggests that treatment with Pil-Food, intended for hair loss prevention, may have triggered postinfantile giant cell hepatitis with autoimmune characteristics, which showed a rapid and effective response to corticosteroid therapy.

This study found that testosterone significantly influenced the expression and function of certain ion transporters in the vas deferens, impacting fluid secretion and contributing to a suitable environment for male fertility.

High temperatures and certain chemicals can significantly change the amino acid content in human hair.

This study found that supplementing soybean oil significantly increased the production of the cyclosporine A derivative [(4'-OH)MeLeu]4-CsA by 55.6%, offering potential enhancements for its clinical application.

Activin A speeds up ear hair cell differentiation, while Follistatin slows it down.

This study found that the type of reporter significantly influences the detection of cancer therapy-induced alopecia signals, highlighting differences in signal amplification between patients and healthcare professionals.

This study analyzed data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System to evaluate cancer therapy–induced alopecia, finding that reporter type significantly affects signal detection, with docetaxel showing the highest disproportionate association overall, and vismodegib ranking highest among healthcare professional reports.

In this study, researchers developed a novel periodate oxidation method for extracting keratin micro-units from waste hair and feathers, achieving yields of 31.28% and 20.64% respectively, enhancing the stability of oil-in-water emulsions and suggesting potential for sustainable biomaterial production.

This study found that generalized anxiety disorder symptoms predicted higher emotional distress and hair cortisol concentration, with dominance unexpectedly increasing the impact of anxiety on hair cortisol.
