This review discusses the role of antiandrogenic gestagens in treating androgen-dependent skin disorders and highlights the need for dermatologists to collaborate with endocrinologists and gynecologists for effective management.

This study suggests that artificial intelligence could significantly enhance histology education for medical and dental students, but its implementation faces challenges like cost, accuracy, and ethical considerations.

In this study, PEVIII, a nanocomposite chitosan-coated vesicle containing both α-hederin and hederacoside C, demonstrated notable antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a keratitis model, showing significant lesion reduction, tissue improvement, and decreased bacterial load and inflammatory markers compared to other treatments.

This study found that the maternal nutritional status during early pregnancy significantly influenced epigenetic changes in offspring, as maternal diet altered DNA methylation at human metastable epialleles.

This study found that EGCG from green tea may stimulate human hair growth by promoting the proliferation and anti-apoptotic activity in dermal papilla cells.

This study developed and validated a computational model to optimize skin precooling methods for minimizing thermal damage during laser procedures.

This study reported that a newly formulated Curcumin-loaded proniosome, named F5, exhibited enhanced antiviral efficacy, stability, and safety when compared to Curcumin alone, and improved the therapeutic performance of Acyclovir by reducing its effective dose against Herpes simplex virus.

This study found that an intranasal gel containing risperidone-loaded glycethosomes significantly enhanced drug bioavailability and improved neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects in schizophrenia-induced rats compared to oral therapies, suggesting a promising alternative for schizophrenic patients who struggle with adhering to oral medication.

This study found that certain off-label topical therapies, including prostaglandin analogs and polyphenols, improved hair restoration in men with androgenetic alopecia over placebo in the short term, though long-term effects are unknown.

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.

In this study, researchers found that male and female APCHi mice exposed to ionizing radiation showed near-normal lipid and metabolite levels, suggesting activated protein C may offer some protective effects against radiation-induced damage affecting organ systems.

This study observed that activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway enhances hair follicle stem cell proliferation and differentiation, promoting hair growth and wound healing, and demonstrated the potential for outer root sheath transplants to aid skin repair, although challenges remain for clinical application.

In a study conducted on mice, researchers observed that exposure to ionizing radiation led to significant metabolic imbalances, including dyslipidemia and disruptions in amino acid metabolism, with activated protein C providing partial protection by normalizing certain plasma metabolites and lipids.

This study identified a new gene in sheep, KRTAP36-2, discovering variants associated with wool yield. Variations in this gene were linked to the efficiency of fleece conversion from greasy to clean, which may enhance wool production.

In this study, KRTAP28-1 variants were associated with wool fibre diameter in sheep, suggesting potential as a gene marker for reducing fibre diameter.

In this study on Chinese Tan sheep, researchers discovered a variant of the KRTAP19-5 gene associated with decreased curvature of fine wool fibres, highlighting potential genetic markers for improving wool quality.

Among Merino × Southdown cross sheep, this study found that certain variants of the KRT81 gene were associated with differences in fleece weight, but not with staple length or fibre diameter traits.

This study suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

This study observed that genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP22-1 gene is linked to increased wool yield and decreased fiber curvature in sheep, indicating its potential use in breeding programs.

This study found that in Merino-Southdown cross sheep, the presence of the C variant of the KRTAP26-1 gene was associated with higher wool quality, including increased wool yield and staple length.

This review discusses the role of keratin-associated proteins in the growth and characteristics of wool and hair fibres from sheep and goats, and highlights areas for future research, but it presents no new findings.

This study identified a new ovine KRTAP21-1 gene variant in sheep, with wool yield affected by the variant, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for improving wool production.

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 three genes in the ovine KAP13 family on chromosome 1 and found that a specific allele of KRTAP13-2 is associated with improved wool fibre diameter uniformity in Chinese Tan sheep, suggesting its potential use as a marker for enhancing wool traits.

In this study, a specific genetic variant of KRTAP6-2 in Longdong cashmere goats was associated with finer cashmere fiber diameter, suggesting its potential as a molecular marker for breeding improvements.

In this study, nucleotide sequence variation in the KRTAP13-3 gene was associated with changes in heterotypic hair fibre diameter variation in Chinese Tan sheep.

In this study, researchers identified six unique genetic variants of a sheep gene, KRTAP19-3, with specific variants linked to changes in wool fibre traits, such as increased fibre diameter variability, suggesting these genetic differences affect wool characteristics in Chinese Tan sheep.

This study identified novel genetic variations in the KRTAP22-2 gene among eight sheep breeds but found no association between these genotypes and wool fibre traits, indicating possible species-specific differences compared to goats.

In this study, researchers found that the keratin-associated protein 36-1 gene (KRTAP36-1) allele C is linked to variations in mean fibre curvature of fine wool in Chinese Tan lambs, suggesting its role in their distinctive curly coat.

This genetic study identified four new keratin-associated protein genes in sheep, revealing significant sequence variation and suggesting complex evolutionary dynamics, with unique variants in some sheep breeds linking them to Romanov sheep ancestry.
