This study found that LC-MS/MS is a more reliable method than immunoassays for measuring serum 17OHP and androgen levels in women with hyperandrogenism.

This meta-analysis found that patients with alopecia areata have significantly higher odds of also having immune-mediated diseases such as atopic dermatitis, autoimmune thyroiditis, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and vitiligo, suggesting a need for comprehensive screening and interdisciplinary management.

This study discusses how redox imbalance, specifically through reduced Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 mediated by the transcription factor JunB and sphingolipid metabolism changes, contributes to skin aging by depleting stem cell pools and altering the extracellular matrix, ultimately impacting skin integrity and function.

In this study, hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stromal cells showed potential for immunomodulation, with equivalent or superior responses compared to those from adipose tissue, suggesting a promising alternative cell source.

This study found that epithelial cells in the skin of live mice regulate the density and spatial organization of immune cells, which actively maintain their position despite constant cell turnover.

This study found that the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia was significantly higher among smokers compared to nonsmokers, though the severity wasn't linked to smoking intensity.

This study reports a case of cystic panfolliculoma, highlighting the role of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in its pathogenesis and explaining its histological resemblance to trichofolliculoma.

This study found that superficial cryotherapy significantly increased hair density and thickness in treated eyebrows compared to untreated controls after 5 months in patients with alopecia areata.

This study found that the imidacloprid/flumethrin collar (Seresto®) is chemically compatible with major spot-on formulations and dermally and systemically safe for adult dogs and cats when used together.

This study reports that dermoscopy can improve the diagnosis of epidermal cysts by making small puncta visible, which are often missed during standard visual examinations.

This study found a significant positive correlation between hair thickness and growth rate, with a notably slower growth rate observed in men with male pattern hair loss compared to healthy controls.

This article is a letter to the editor discussing hair graying and loss potentially induced by imatinib mesylate, but it does not provide new research results.

This article describes how HIV-related skin disorders vary in presentation among pigmented skin types and highlights challenges in their diagnosis due to atypical disease manifestations.

Imiquimod cream can rarely cause temporary hair loss.

This article reports no new clinical findings and provides no abstract, focusing on imipramine-induced lesions resembling alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers used 3D printing combined with cryogenic crosslinking to develop gelatin/oxidized alginate scaffolds and found that adding 5% hydroxyapatite improved mechanical properties and osteogenic effects, enhancing bone tissue regeneration, though 10% hydroxyapatite offered no additional osteogenic benefits and reduced shape fidelity.

This review highlights emerging strategies to manage chemotherapy side effects like nausea, neuropathy, and alopecia, noting that scalp cooling has been effective for reducing hair loss, while cryotherapy and cannabis show promise but need further study for side effect management.

This study suggests that TGF-alpha may function in an autocrine or juxtacrine manner rather than promoting cell proliferation during hair growth cycles in ferrets and sheep.

In this study, researchers conducted single-cell RNA sequencing to reveal that proinflammatory fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells play significant roles in the immune microenvironment of keloids, suggesting potential targets for new therapeutic approaches.

This review explored the relationship between autoimmune thyroiditis and various autoimmune skin conditions, highlighting shared genetic markers and immunological mechanisms, such as disrupted immune tolerance and oxidative stress, which may contribute to the development of these disorders.

This study used digital-light-processing bioprinting to create a 3D skin-on-a-chip model with a miniaturized vascular network to closely study immune cell interactions similar to real human skin, demonstrating the potential to analyze immune-T cell trafficking influenced by skin signals.

In this prospective study, patients with androgenetic alopecia who underwent hair transplantation showed significant improvements in quality of life and life satisfaction, with reduced stress and anxiety levels, although depression and perceived social support did not significantly change.

This review discusses the characteristics and management of cutaneous immune-related adverse events from immune checkpoint inhibitors and notes their potential association with a favorable cancer treatment response.

This study observed that exosomes from adipose-derived stem cells promoted hair growth by enhancing dermal papilla cell proliferation and activating signaling pathways, suggesting potential for treating immune-mediated alopecia.

This study found that phosphorylated VEGFR-2 is present in human scalp epidermal appendages and suggests it plays a role in their daily regulation.

This study found that storing hair follicle grafts in chilled ATPv-supplemented saline was most effective for preserving trichogenic gene expression, compared to other storage solutions and temperatures.

This letter to the editor discusses immune checkpoint inhibitor-related alopecia and insights into its pathophysiology using non-invasive diagnostic techniques, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that using UVB preirradiation and anti-CD154 antibody treatment in a humanized mouse model prolonged hair follicle allograft survival and reduced immune cell infiltration without needing generalized immunosuppression.

This study found that women recovering from cancer developed a positive body image by focusing on acceptance and newfound trust in their bodies, despite the trauma of illness.

This review discusses recent advances in the understanding of alopecia areata, focusing on immunity and genetics, and presents potential targets for therapy without reporting new clinical results.
