This study demonstrated that incorporating PDA@Ag nanoparticles into a cationic guar gum hydrogel significantly enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency, achieving superior antibacterial efficacy both in vitro and in vivo, advancing the potential of PDA as a photothermal antibacterial agent.

In this case series, four adults developed severe, disabling multisymptom illness potentially linked to fluoroquinolone use, which persisted and progressed even after discontinuation of the drug.

In this study using ex vivo porcine ear skin, researchers found that standard nail varnish applied gently creates effective follicular closures, preventing penetration of certain substances like fluorescein sodium salt and caffeine into hair follicles, whereas solvent-free varnish and rapid application techniques were less effective.

Excimer laser therapy can be an alternative for treating superficial morphea when topical steroids don't work.

This study found that hydrolyzed wheat proteins extensively penetrated both untreated and chemically treated hair, primarily occupying areas like the endocuticle and cortex.

This review discusses the development of IPL devices, highlights their established cosmetic uses, such as treating vascular and pigmented lesions, and suggests potential expansion into more effective combination therapies.

In this case study, a 15-year-old obese boy was diagnosed with acanthosis nigricans and hair casts in the axillae, with Wood's lamp and dermoscopic examination revealing specific features, yet fungal infection was ruled out through a negative KOH test.

In this study, researchers developed a multilayered gel bead culture model using a microgel-spotting device, successfully mimicking the early development of skin appendages and supporting in vitro hair follicle regeneration with structures resembling native hair follicles.

This study reports two cases of bubble hair deformity in young men caused by prolonged exposure to bathroom heating lamps during showers, suggesting that maintaining a safe distance from heating devices may prevent this thermal injury to hair.

This study describes the use of a genetically engineered mouse model, mTurquoise2-Col4a1, to fluorescently label collagen IV and observe basement membrane dynamics during skin development, revealing its stability and pliability during rapid growth phases.

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 study found that Carbon Quantum Dots effectively detected and quantified Co²⁺ ions and methylcobalamin in tap water with high sensitivity and recovery rates between 95% and 105%.

This study found that 11% of cutaneous focal mucinosis lesions demonstrated follicular induction, which can mimic basal cell carcinoma histologically and complicate diagnosis.

This case report documented a novel presentation of a canine viral plaque appearing as a solitary exophytic keratin-filled mass, highlighting the need to differentiate it from a hair follicle tumor.

This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of a newly synthesized fluoroquinolone against Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Escherichia coli strains. The researchers compared results from the microdilution technique and agar disk diffusion method to EUCAST's recommended breakpoint values, building on promising in silico molecular docking tests.

This article introduces a needleless microjet injector using laser pulse energy for tattoo pigments in scalp micropigmentation, highlighting an almost painless procedure without anesthesia.

This study found that the observed isotropic ss-ECD spectrum of finasteride is influenced by the anisotropy of locally oriented crystals, offering new possibilities for analyzing solid-state chiral materials.

In this study, PRP and Yifu combined with ultrapulsed CO2 lattice laser were found to improve sunken acne scars more effectively than laser alone, enhancing patients' quality of life and reducing adverse events, with a higher effective rate compared to the laser-only group.

This case study suggests that intense inflammation after photodynamic therapy may trigger or worsen fibrosing alopecia in susceptible individuals.

In this study, researchers observed that patients with chronic telogen effluvium residing in fluoride-endemic areas had higher mean serum fluoride levels than those who lived there for less than five years, suggesting a possible link between elevated fluoride levels and increased hair shedding.

This study visualized mitochondrial metabolism in cultured bovine hair follicles and plucked human hairs, finding that ROS and mitochondrial polarization correlate in specific hair follicle regions, particularly near keratin deposition sites.

This report summarizes recent cases of the rare condition erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli to illustrate its varied clinical presentations.

In this study using guinea pigs, the low-dose 800 nm semiconductor laser was found to effectively treat skin blackheads and coarse pores by promoting hair follicle cell apoptosis, while maintaining PCNA expression levels in sebaceous glands.

This case report describes a unique instance of an otherwise healthy infant with phylloid terminal hair nevus, a form of hypomelanosis without extracutaneous abnormalities.

This study found that blue light at a wavelength of 453 nm promoted hair growth ex vivo, potentially through interacting with OPN3 receptors in human hair follicles.

This article introduces a special issue of "Lasers in Surgery and Medicine" focused on dermatology and plastic surgery, but it presents no new research findings.

This study describes the diverse histopathological patterns and clinical features observed in patients with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides, emphasizing the importance of accurate recognition to avoid diagnostic errors.

This study found that cysteic acid generation during hair bleaching is diffusion-controlled, increasing with the square root of bleaching time, in both cuticles and cortex of human hair fibers.

This article discusses topical and intralesional cidofovir use for SCC and suggests a successful outcome in one case, with no systemic toxicity observed so far.
