This case study describes three young females with hirsutism who were diagnosed with different underlying conditions—late-onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia, idiopathic hirsutism, and polycystic ovary syndrome with ovarian thecosis—highlighting the need for reevaluation if initial treatments are ineffective.

This study found elevated levels of IL-18 and free IL-18 in hidradenitis suppurativa patients compared to healthy controls, suggesting these cytokines may serve as novel biomarkers for disease activity, with correlations indicating their involvement in disease severity.

This report discusses a request for a health hazard evaluation at Equifax in St. Petersburg, Florida concerning potential workplace exposures related to reported employee health issues, particularly hair loss, but provides no new results.

This study found that the SAFE System may improve follicular unit extraction by reducing follicle transection rates and broadening patient eligibility, with only minor adverse reactions reported.

This study observed distinct differences in hair characteristics between individuals with cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome and Costello syndrome, highlighting the role of the RAS pathway in these RASopathies and aiding clinical diagnosis.

This review discusses the potential hormonal and metabolic factors influencing hidradenitis suppurativa and highlights the need for further research to explore hormonal dysregulation's role in the disease.

This study found that untreated hirsute patients have lower expression of type 2 17β-HSD mRNA in scalp hairs, indicating potential disturbances in androgen metabolism, compared to treated hirsute patients.

This study demonstrated that human hair follicle stem cells can be efficiently differentiated into endothelial-like cells using VEGF and bFGF, suggesting their potential as a novel cell source for vascular tissue engineering.

This study found that the expression levels of Siah1 and Siah2 in mice skin vary dynamically during postnatal hair follicle development, suggesting their specific roles in modulating the HIF pathway.

This report describes a 27-year-old patient with Ehler-Danlos syndrome who also presented with hypophosphatasia and mastocytosis, and suggests enzyme replacement therapy might alleviate symptoms in such overlapping genetic conditions.

This study reports that percutaneous superficial temporal arterial hyaluronidase injection effectively treated necrosis of the frontotemporal skin and ipsilateral scalp, with patients experiencing significant recovery in skin appearance and hair regrowth 2 to 3 months after injection, following complications from hyaluronic acid filler.

This study revealed that Patched receptors establish a Hedgehog signaling gradient in developing hair follicles, which may influence their formation and potentially offer a diagnostic tool for distinguishing Hedgehog-driven tumors.

In this case study, a 34-year-old woman experienced facial allergic reactions to SPF-containing products, and patch tests identified sensitization to salicylates, which when avoided, stabilized her symptoms and her existing frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting a possible link to investigate further.

This study found that the highest rebound value in concrete with high volume slag occurs with 40% slag content, 10–20 mm basalt aggregates, and greater carbonation depth.

This study found that human adipose-derived stem cells co-cultured on a collagen sponge scaffold showed increased differentiation into keratinocytes, suggesting potential for improved skin wound healing.

This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells maintained their proliferation and differentiation potential when cultured with acidic fibroblast growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, or epidermal growth factor.

This study in Hexi cashmere goats found that secondary follicle activity increases with time, and Hoxc13 expression varies significantly across different growth stages, suggesting a role in follicle activity.

This study found that skin mesenchymal stem cells from hidradenitis suppurativa patients overexpress proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, suggesting their potential contribution to the disease's pathogenesis.

This review describes the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, highlighting new DCAF17 gene variants and their varying clinical implications.

In this study, Nrf-2-expressing hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells showed the most significant therapeutic effect in a rat model of ulcerative colitis, suggesting a new potential treatment for the disease.

This review explores the inflammatory pathogenesis and clinical presentation of hidradenitis suppurativa, highlighting the complexity of treatment and the impact on patients' quality of life, while also examining emerging therapeutic options.

In this study, researchers found that hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells, modified to overexpress extracellular matrix protein 1, significantly improved liver function and reduced liver damage in cirrhotic mice by inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation and TGF-β/Smad signaling.

This study found that the FSHR Ser680Asn (rs6166) gene polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of PCOS in the examined population and could serve as a molecular biomarker for identifying risk.

This study reports that 11β-HSD1 activity in human skin increases with age and photoexposure, potentially contributing to skin aging and the effects of glucocorticoids.

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 reviewed 18 postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss, often treated with steroids, triamcinolone, and other medications.

This study found that self-assessed mFG and Hirsuta scores have low specificity for diagnosing hirsutism in clinical settings, though they may still be useful for screening in epidemiological studies.

This systematic review identified robust biomarkers associated with hidradenitis suppurativa and confirmed potential drugs for repurposing, highlighting key pathogenetic pathways and their links to comorbid disorders.

Dermoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing and managing topical steroid dependent face.

This study found that the formulated shampoo using alcoholic extracts of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis demonstrated antimicrobial and antifungal activity and met all standard evaluation criteria, offering a potentially safer alternative to synthetic shampoos without harmful preservatives like paraben.
