This study found that epidermal growth factor may stimulate the growth of hair follicle epithelium and potentially accelerate the transition from anagen to catagen phase in cultured human hair follicles.

This review examines existing evidence on the efficacy and safety of gender affirming hormone therapy in relation to Gender Affirmation Surgery, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that HFV70 cryogels, made from Flammulina velutipes extract and hydroxyethyl cellulose, effectively promoted rapid hemostasis and tissue regeneration in full-thickness skin defects in rats, demonstrating improved hemocompatibility, cytocompatibility, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.

This article reviews current knowledge and research gaps on growth hormone in hair follicle biology, highlighting its complex role and suggesting further exploration to reveal nonclassical skin functions.

This study found that human scalp hair follicles can internally operate a Cori cycle, synthesize glycogen in the presence of lactate, and modulate growth through glycogen phosphorylase activity.

This case study observed that in four middle-aged men with ejaculation disorders, therapy with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) alone or combined with recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH) improved sexual desire, semen volume, and various other symptoms, although some experienced elevated estradiol levels and hair loss.

Hedgehog signaling helps keep hair follicle stem cells the same in both young and old human skin.

This study reported significant improvements in hair density and growth ratio in androgenetic alopecia patients receiving concentrated growth factor injections, with benefits sustained for 6 months.

This review discusses the antimicrobial and protective effects of hesperidin and hesperetin against various toxicities, with potential mechanisms explored, but it reports no new research findings.

This case study reports that a heterozygous missense GJA1 mutation, p.Gly138Ser, in a 2-year-old boy with oculodentodigital syndrome primarily resulted in syndactyly, fifth finger hypoplasia, and hypotrichosis, without neurological or craniofacial abnormalities.

This study indicates that a helminth-derived protein, TGF-β mimic, may accelerate wound healing and promote regenerative processes in skin tissue by interacting with TGF-β receptors.

This study identified a monoclonal antibody, HKN-2, that recognizes specific cells in human skin and may indicate a common antigenic determinant between hair and other skin epithelial tissues.

This description of dystrophy hypotrichosis associated with juvenile macular dystrophy provides an overview of this rare disorder characterized by short hair from birth and progressive loss of central vision but reports no new findings.

This study found that FGF18 is crucial for regulating hair follicle rest and growth phases, as its absence in mice leads to a shorter resting phase and rapid hair cycling.

This study measured plasma testosterone glucosiduronate levels and found no overlap in those with hyperandrogenism compared to normal females, despite normal testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels in half of the affected patients.

Certain enzymes react strongly with some hormones in rat skin during hair growth, mainly in sebaceous glands and hair sheaths.

This study found that fibroblast growth factor 9, initially secreted by γδ T cells, plays a key role in modulating hair follicle regeneration in mice after skin wounds.

This study reported that the treatment of hair with glyoxylic acid straighteners causes major conformational changes within the hair fiber due to interactions between carbonyl and keratin components.

This study found that hair follicle stem cell-derived secretome mitigated cell death, apoptosis, and inflammation while upregulating neurotrophic factors in astrocytes exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation, an in vitro ischemic stroke model, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits in stroke recovery.

Most transgender patients getting laser hair removal before gender-affirming surgery are already on hormone therapy, which might affect the hair removal process.

This study found that cetaceans have adapted their fibroblast growth factors to assist in low bone density, hypoxia tolerance, and the development of rigid flippers, reflecting significant evolutionary changes for aquatic life.

In this study, the researchers found that the water-soluble fraction of Rhus semialata gall extract and its component Penta-O-Galloyl-β-D-Glucose promoted hair growth in human dermal papilla cells, and clinical trials supported these findings, showing improved hair density and appearance compared to placebo.

This study developed a hydrogel dressing incorporating angelica polysaccharides, demonstrating enhanced wound healing properties in a mouse model by promoting rapid hemostasis, tissue healing, and new blood vessel formation compared to Tegaderm™ film.

This article reviews the clinical signs, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options for hyperandrogenism in women, focusing on hirsutism and specifies that cyproterone acetate is effective for severe cases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that storing hair follicle micrografts in HEPES-buffered DMEM with ACD inhibitors like aminoguanidine significantly increased hair shaft elongation compared to phosphate-buffered salt solution, suggesting improved viability for transplantation.

This study found that cultured hair follicle dermal cells support maintenance and potentially aid in the clinical application of pluripotent and haematopoietic stem cells.

This study found that daily injections of basic and acidic fibroblast growth factor in newborn mice significantly delayed hair follicle development within the treatment area, while epidermal growth factor affected the entire body coat and caused skin hyperkeratinization.

This study described the clinical and genetic features of two Iranian siblings with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, identifying a specific VDR gene mutation contributing to their symptoms.

Hair glycation can indicate long-term blood sugar trends in diabetics.
