February 2025 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This study suggests that androgenetic alopecia may increase the risk of developing depression, but depression does not significantly contribute to the onset of androgenetic alopecia.
January 2025 in “Bright Sky Publications eBooks” This abstract presents the book "Buy Medical Physics in Aesthetic Medicine," which explores future innovations and techniques for cosmetic procedures expected in 2025, though specific findings or results from the book are not reported.
January 2025 in “Trepo - Institutional Repository of Tampere University” Alopecia areata significantly harms women's self-image, causing reduced confidence and social isolation.
September 2024 in “JEADV Clinical Practice” In this study, researchers analyzed French social media posts and found that alopecia areata profoundly impacts patients' quality of life, affecting them physically, psychologically, socially, and financially, often driving them to seek support online.
May 2024 in “Indian journal of pharmacy and pharmacology” This in-vitro study reported that a luliconazole-based formulation improved hair cuticle integrity and was more effective than ketoconazole in repairing damaged hair after 5 and 10 washes, with sensory analysis supporting these results. Further human studies are needed to confirm its clinical effects.
January 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study reports that adjusting the valence states of Mo in Pluronic F127-coated MoO3-x nanozymes enhances their selective H2O2-related catalytic activity, showing promise in acute kidney injury treatment and enabling real-time monitoring of therapy effectiveness through ROS-responsive photoacoustic imaging.
November 2023 in “L'Endocrinologo” This review examines the impact of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) on women's sexual health, highlighting inconsistencies in existing research; it reports no new results.
September 2023 in “Skin Research and Technology” This article presents a new method using dermoscopy to evaluate the severity and treatment effectiveness of androgenetic alopecia in men by capturing images of specific scalp regions.
In this study, researchers observed a high degree of plasticity in somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in adult mouse skin, with both epithelial and neural components exhibiting dynamic remodeling, highlighting intricate epithelial-neural interactions in maintaining homeostasis.
April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study provided a dynamic 4D atlas showing the development process of mouse hair follicles through a telescope-like model, revealing new insights into the origin of hair follicle stem cells.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that histological features of primary melanoma can partially predict lymph node metastasis using AI, achieving a best prediction AUROC of 0.65.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that using 3D total body imaging with convolution neural networks accurately identifies risk phenotypes for melanoma, suggesting improved objective stratification for early detection and prevention.
This study found that while prepubescent female goats showed strong olfactory responses to active buck hair, this sensory stimulation alone did not advance the onset of puberty.
January 2023 in “Mastology” This literature review reports prevalent sexual dysfunctions, notably vaginal dryness, in women undergoing endocrine therapy for hormone-dependent breast cancer, highlighting the need for more multidisciplinary research and care to improve patient well-being.
November 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that skin organoids derived from iPSCs with an HS-associated NCSTN mutation showed defects in hair follicle stem cell differentiation and increased expression of inflammatory proteins related to hidradenitis suppurativa.
November 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This review summarizes 57 case reports and series, noting that ultrasound is a useful, non-invasive tool to visualize subcutaneous nodules in conditions like sarcoidosis, granuloma annulare, and panniculitis, facilitating diagnosis and treatment without ionizing radiation.
October 2022 in “Research, Society and Development” This review discusses the complex nature of telogen effluvium linked to COVID-19 and highlights the effectiveness of correcting triggers and protein-rich diets in reducing hair loss; it reports no new clinical findings.
This study found that a fermented mixture containing Sasa Borealis leaf improved tensile strength and glossiness in hair damaged by heat perm and dyeing, suggesting potential as a cosmetic ingredient.
September 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers using live mice observed that oncogenic Kras mutation disrupts hair follicle architecture by sustaining ERK signal activation, which affects stem cell behavior and tissue integrity.
