This study found that intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide at 5 mg/mL are as effective and safe as 10 mg/mL for treating patchy alopecia areata on the scalp, with similar hair regrowth rates, side effects, and recurrence observed between the two dosages.

This study provides evidence that root hairs significantly enhance phosphorus uptake in barley when phosphorus availability is limited in the root zone.

In this case report, the researchers highlighted the diagnostic challenge of Majocchi’s granuloma, a deep fungal infection that mimics other skin conditions and resists initial treatment, emphasizing the importance of considering it as a diagnosis even after failed topical antifungal therapies.

The researchers reviewed cepharanthine, a long-used bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, for its antiviral properties, including significant inhibition of SARS-CoV-2. They discussed cepharanthine's other pharmacological actions, highlighted plasma membrane fluidity as a key antiviral mechanism, and examined its safety, bioavailability, and potential for new clinical applications.

This review discusses the biological characteristics and potential of epidermal stem cells in orthopedic regenerative medicine but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that in overweight or obese women with PCOS, certain baseline subcutaneous adipose tissue genes significantly predicted weight loss response to a 4-month behavioral lifestyle intervention, with the gene GSTM5 as the strongest predictor.

This study found that dermoscopy can identify typical features of Malassezia folliculitis, such as folliculocentricity and perilesional erythema, offering a valuable tool for diagnosing this condition in clinical settings.

This review highlights capsaicin's chemical properties, natural sources, and its potential benefits such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects, while also noting its challenges in food applications regarding dosage, taste perception, and regulatory compliance.

This study suggests that human placenta hydrolysate reduces CFA-induced inflammatory pain in mice by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and protecting peripheral nerves.

This review discusses the anatomy and gene involvement in the development of animal hair follicles and reports no new experimental results; it calls for continued examination of gene roles in hair quality.

In this study, researchers found that dermoscopy revealed specific features in Malassezia folliculitis, such as folliculocentricity and perilesional erythema, which can aid in its identification and potentially distinguish it from acne vulgaris.

In this study, seborrheic dermatitis was most prevalent among middle-aged adults and men, with patient presentations peaking during the winter months.

This review highlights the potential of ellagic acid for treating various skin conditions due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and depigmenting properties, but notes that novel formulations are needed to overcome its poor solubility and skin permeability to enhance clinical efficacy.

This narrative review and case report identified a rare association between erythema nodosum and kerion caused by *Trichophyton mentagrophytes*, with successful treatment using antifungals and corticosteroids.

This review provides a detailed overview of the causes, prevalence, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of beard alopecia, highlighting conditions such as alopecia areata, pseudofolliculitis barbae, and tinea barbae, and aims to serve as a resource for clinicians handling such cases.

This review discusses the roles of hormonal pathways in regulating male sexual function, particularly highlighting the impact of testosterone, and reports no new research findings.

This review discusses various scalp infections, infestations, and neoplasms but reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the diversity of diseases from different origins.

This study reviews evidence that in keloid development, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) drives fibroblast proliferation and fibrosis not only through the classical Smad-dependent pathway but also via equally important Smad-independent signaling cascades, suggesting these pathways as possible targets for more effective keloid therapies.

This review highlights the significant impact of alopecia on personal identity and social interactions, emphasizing the need for personalized, non-pharmacological interventions and improved collaboration in healthcare training to better support those with appearance-altering conditions.

Using a higher concentration of triamcinolone acetonide leads to faster hair regrowth in scalp patchy alopecia areata.

In this update, researchers incorporated TGA-approved Janus Kinase inhibitors into the Australian treatment guidelines for chronic, moderate to severe Alopecia areata, aiming to enhance recommended therapies by providing guidance on the use and management of these systemic medications.

This research found that deleting the SLC3A2 gene in hair follicle stem cells disrupts their maintenance and proper differentiation, leading to hair follicle growth defects and altered skin regeneration through a YAP/Taz-dependent pathway.

Finasteride and dutasteride can improve hair loss in women, but more research is needed.

This review discusses recent advances in hair regeneration strategies, including mechanical stimulation and complementary therapies like MSC transplantation and platelet-rich plasma, and reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the potential of stem cells and their derived products, such as exosomes and conditioned media, in improving burn wound healing but presents no new clinical data.

This study investigated the effects of pathological α-synuclein on sebaceous gland cells in Parkinson's disease, finding that α-synuclein exposure altered cellular differentiation and lipid production, suggesting a potential link between α-synuclein and lipid dysregulation in the skin of PD patients.

This study found that Slovak breast cancer survivors experience moderate overall quality of life, with variations across domains linked to treatment types and sociodemographic factors, pointing to the need for tailored supportive care.

This case report describes a 7-year-old boy with Tinea favosa caused by Trichophyton schoenleinii, treated for 8–12 weeks with oral griseofulvin and ketoconazole cream, leading to recovery from crusts and inflammation but permanent hair loss in some areas.

This study identified CD28, GZMB, and CD1C as key immune regulators in alopecia areata, highlighting CD28 as a potential therapeutic target with a promising safety profile, using a proteome-anchored multi-omics approach to uncover actionable targets for this autoimmune hair-loss disorder.

This review highlights brimonidine’s potential as a dermatological agent, noting its ability to improve rosacea-related facial redness and its effectiveness in various other skin conditions due to its vasoconstrictive and anti-inflammatory actions, with minimal systemic absorption and a favorable safety profile for long-term use.
