The correspondence discusses the higher prevalence of acne vulgaris in hidradenitis suppurativa patients, but notes potential overestimation due to unrecognized facial HS.

This study demonstrated that lactate dehydrogenase activity is notably high in quiescent hair follicle stem cells within mouse skin using a specific enzymatic activity assay.

This article discusses the immune privilege in hair follicles and suggests that restoring its collapse might be an effective strategy for treating alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecia, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study compared hirsutism levels, hand measurements, testosterone, and DHEAS levels in women aged 18 to 38 but does not report new definitive findings.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.

In this case report, researchers detailed a 22-year-old Turkish woman diagnosed with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis (ARWH/H), linked to a mutation in the LIPH gene, resulting in sparse, poorly growing, curly hair, highlighting the need for genetic consideration in similar hair conditions.

This article suggests that testosterone therapy might be considered if other treatments fail, but emphasizes discussing potential risks and benefits with patients before prescribing.

This study found that finasteride treatment significantly reduced hirsutism and dihydrotestosterone levels in women with idiopathic hirsutism or polycystic ovary syndrome over six months.

In this study, most women with hirsutism and regular menstrual cycles were diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting limited use of the term 'idiopathic or racial' hirsutism without thorough evaluation.

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa significantly impaired quality of life in German patients, with severity linked to skin and certain extra-cutaneous changes, but not reduced by surgical or conventional medicamentous treatments.

In this study, researchers introduced an ultrasound-guided technique for injecting hyaluronic acid fillers into the temple area to enhance safety and precision by visualizing filler placement in the interfascial space.

This review highlights that while sonidegib and vismodegib offer promising treatment options for advanced basal cell carcinoma, their use is often limited by treatment-emergent adverse events, which can be managed through protocol modifications and supportive interventions.

This study found that human scalp hair follicles produce neurohormones and responded to GHRH stimulation by prolonging hair growth, suggesting a functional peripheral HPS neuroendocrine signaling axis in the skin.

This study found that ionizing irradiation significantly inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in human hair follicle keratinocytes, suggesting its potential as a preclinical assay system for testing radioprotectants.

The researchers reported that disrupting ATRA signaling by deleting RDHE genes in the hair follicle led to altered hair follicle cycles, composition, and gene expression, indicating RDHEs' role in hair follicle signaling coordination.

This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of HASHA, a new hyaluronic acid injectable, for chin augmentation in adults with chin retrusion. HASHA significantly improved chin appearance and satisfaction over 12 months compared to controls, with only mild or moderate transient adverse events.

Minoxidil solution applied twice daily improved hair growth in patients with Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis due to LIPH gene issues, with mild side effects.

This study evaluated the learning curve for using the Hair Implanter Pen, finding it to be operator dependent.

This study found that finasteride significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women with idiopathic hirsutism and PCOS, despite no changes in serum androgen levels.

This study found that most pathogenic HR mutants associated with atrichia with papular lesions had abolished corepressor activity due to defective interactions with histone deacetylases.

This study identifies unique gene expression patterns in specialized fibroblasts within adult hair follicles, which advances understanding of their role in tissue regeneration.

This review suggests that hyperspectral and terahertz imaging show promise in non-invasively assessing scalp changes associated with hair loss, but further validation is needed for clinical application.

In this study from a south Indian hospital, idiopathic hirsutism was the most common cause of hirsutism, with a significant portion of affected women also displaying features of metabolic syndrome.

This article presents an overview of uncombable hair syndrome, emphasizing its clinical and molecular characteristics and noting systemic manifestations such as neuropsychiatric, ophthalmic, and cardiopulmonary issues.

In this study, cimetidine at a daily dose of 1.5 gm for 3 months did not significantly affect hair growth in women with moderate to severe hirsutism.

This study found that both finasteride and flutamide significantly decreased hirsutism severity and hair diameter in women with PCOS and Idiopathic Hirsutism, with abdominal hairs showing greater sensitivity to the treatments.

This study suggests that hair cortisol measurement could serve as an alternative diagnostic method for Cushing’s disease, showing acceptable concordance with urinary free cortisol despite differing evaluated periods.

In a human genetic study on hidradenitis suppurativa, researchers identified 12 genetic risk loci and found that CXCR4-CD74 signaling may play a key role in hair follicle inflammation, suggesting CXCR4 blockade as a potential therapeutic approach for this condition.
