This study developed the mTurquoise2-Col4a1 mouse model and used fluorescent tagging of collagen IV to offer new insights into basement membrane dynamics during hair follicle budding, revealing that basement membranes are flexible and stable structures in developing skin tissue.

Green algae can break down finasteride, reducing environmental harm.

This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNA repair defects in the disease.

The document concludes that understanding hair biology is key to treating hair disorders, with gene therapy showing potential as a future treatment.

This randomized controlled trial found that consuming *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* extract significantly improved hair elasticity, density, and diameter over 24 weeks without severe adverse events, suggesting it as a safe functional food ingredient for hair health improvement.

This study found that hair transplantation is feasible in patients with lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, but outcomes are generally less favorable compared to other causes and these diseases may also develop after the procedure.

This case report highlights a patient whose essential syphilitic alopecia was the only symptom of syphilis, which improved after benzathine penicillin treatment, emphasizing alopecia as a potential sign of syphilis.

In vitro skin models are improving but still need more innovation to fully replicate human skin.

This article discusses methods to measure comedogenesis in acne through the presence of microcomedones and reports no new clinical results; the authors outline a skin surface biopsy technique using cyanoacrylate gel.

This study explored the wound healing potential of a natural marine soft coral-derived nanoparticle-based gel in a diabetic excision wound model, finding it effectively regulates proinflammatory cytokines and inhibits enzymes related to wound healing.

In this study, inducible whole-body Acly-knockout mice revealed that ACLY is essential for skin homeostasis, as its deficiency led to increased sebum production and skin abnormalities, indicating a vital role for cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthesis in preserving skin barrier integrity and systemic lipid regulation.

Serotonin helps wounds heal faster.

This study found that 4-MA is a potent inhibitor of testosterone 5α-reductase in human tissues, promising potential for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions like male pattern baldness.

This study found that hair follicles in mice and humans can convert wound-related myofibroblasts into adipocytes, suggesting a potential pathway to reduce scar formation by activating BMP signaling.

This systematic review suggests that current evidence does not support routinely discontinuing gender-affirming hormone treatments before surgery, especially testosterone and spironolactone, due to limited data on related perioperative risks.

This study found that SYP123 and VAMP727 are involved in the secretion and transport of inner cell wall components, which is crucial for hardening the root hair shank in Arabidopsis.

This review discusses infertility in polycystic ovary syndrome and therapeutic options, without reporting new results; it underscores the importance of personalized treatment plans based on patient needs and disease characteristics.

This study found that genetic variation in the KRTAP21-2 gene among crossbred Merino lambs was associated with differences in wool traits, particularly mean staple length.

This study identified a nonfunctional Itpr3 gene in BTBR mice, attributed to a 12-bp deletion, which likely causes their simultaneous hair loss and taste perception deficits.

This study developed dissolving microneedles using specific polymers for transdermal delivery of rizatriptan benzoate, demonstrating improved drug skin penetration and significant alleviation of migraine symptoms in vivo compared to passive diffusion, suggesting potential advantages over conventional treatment methods for acute migraine.

This study found that women with female pattern androgenic alopecia have significantly higher levels of certain androgens and androgen sulfates compared to normal premenopausal women, suggesting markers for diagnosis and treatment efficacy.

The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.

This study found that preserving hair follicles at 4℃ using Ringer's solution during FUE Megasession hair transplantation surgery significantly improves cell survival rates and supports optimal hair growth, demonstrating clinical feasibility for longer procedures.

The researchers emphasize the limited scope of existing studies on lip aging, highlighting issues that include collagen loss and the deepening of lip lines with age, and suggesting a need for further research to guide cosmetic and clinical interventions.

This study concluded that 16β-methyl-17α-benzoyloxypregnen-4-en-3,20-dione may be a promising treatment for androgen-dependent diseases and epilepsy due to its antioxidant effects and impact on GABAergic and serotonergic metabolism in rats.

The authors reported that electrochemotherapy and electroporation-based treatments, both with and without cytotoxic drugs, show promise as safer and more effective options for breast cancer treatment, including metastatic cases and palliative care, in vitro and in vivo.

This review discusses Charnoly bodies as biomarkers of cell injury and potential therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and cancer treatments but reports no new clinical results.

This study discusses that many patients experience temporary hair loss after bariatric surgery, potentially due to rapid weight loss, surgery stress, and nutritional deficiencies, including shortages of iron, zinc, and other nutrients crucial for hair health.

This study found that 4 weeks of finasteride treatment significantly decreased DHT levels in bald scalp to levels similar to hair-containing scalp in men with male pattern baldness.
