This study found that mustard oil and unsaturated fatty acids completely suppressed dermatophyte growth and prevented hair penetration at concentrations of 1% and above in Sabouraud's dextrose agar medium.

This study demonstrates that an iPSC-derived skin organoid model effectively supports Merkel cell polyomavirus infection, persistence, and immune evasion, providing a valuable platform for studying viral tumorigenesis and testing treatment strategies.

This article discusses dermatophytosis, focusing on the identification and clinical importance of various dermatophyte infections, but it reports no new results; the author emphasizes the value of direct examination for diagnosis.

This review discusses possible mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 transmission through the skin and sweat and reports no new clinical results, calling for further research on this potential route of infection.

This study found that DGAT1 exhibits additional acyltransferase activities in vitro, including MGAT, wax synthase, and ARAT activities, suggesting these could be relevant to its in vivo functions.

This review suggests that brassinosteroids may have similar biological activities in both plants and other organisms, prompting further exploration of steroid regulation mechanisms across different life forms.

This collection of reviews, edited by Ken Lukowiak and Janis Weeks, explores diverse sensory systems across species, including olfaction, echolocation, magnetoreception, and visual adaptations, without presenting new experimental results.

This review highlights how utilizing unconventional and non-traditional cell sources for cultivated meat production could overcome manufacturing challenges, with distinct biological advantages potentially improving bioprocess efficiency and enabling the creation of novel meat products, according to the authors.

Crickets have genetically controlled hair plates that help them sense and move their antennae.

This review discusses the traditional uses of Tridax procumbens for wound healing, antifungal, and antibacterial purposes, but reports no clinical findings.

This article discusses various disorders of the hair erector muscle, compiling conditions that involve it passively or actively, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses prevalent skin diseases in children, including alopecia areata, and reports no new clinical results; it outlines conditions and treatment options without presenting original data.

This review discusses the cutaneous symptoms associated with COVID-19 and their potential use in diagnosing and assessing the severity of the disease, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes the first known association between maternal telogen effluvium and hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in infants, suggesting that informing new parents about hair loss may prevent toe tourniquet syndrome.

This article reviews approaches to diagnosing and treating dermatophytosis and pityriasis versicolor, noting a significant change in the epidemiology of tinea capitis and highlighting the limitations of certain diagnostic techniques.

In this study, 23 patients with androgenetic alopecia were treated with non-activated autologous platelet-rich plasma (A-PRP) administered through interfollicular injections, but the abstract provides no results of the treatment's effectiveness.

This review analyzes the potential mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may exacerbate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and suggests a connection via ACE2 and androgen receptor pathways; it reports no new clinical results.

This document provides a legal disclaimer and offers no research findings.

This study identified five distinct scalp whorl patterns, noting that white males have the most distinct whorls, while African Americans and women more often exhibit a diffusion pattern.

In this cadaveric study, lipofilling was found easier to perform on the face than the scalp, whereas nanofat grafting was particularly suited for precise injections in scalp areas, suggesting a combination of techniques could aid in treating alopecia.

This case report describes a 26-year-old woman who developed an unusual fungal skin infection, possibly facilitated by using a microneedling device at home, highlighting the need for safer procedures and aftercare protocols to prevent infection.

Ducks can get the Rous sarcoma virus if infected shortly after birth, leading to tumors and disease spread.

This report describes a case of tinea capitis caused by Epidermophyton floccosum, highlighting its unusual ability to perforate hair and act as an etiological agent for the condition.

This study found that in mice, Bacillus anthracis infections destroy hair follicles by progressing inward from the surface and clear when inflammatory cells disperse the bacteria after 3-4 days.

This article discusses potential links between male balding, specifically androgenic alopecia, and severe COVID-19, suggesting that balding may serve as a biomarker for identifying higher-risk patients, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This study developed a nanoemulsion containing Minoxidil, which showed effective stability and significantly increased hair growth rates in pretreated mice, suggesting its potential for treating hair loss.

In this study, researchers linked SARS-CoV-2 infection to telogen effluvium in some COVID-19 patients by observing the accumulation of viral proteins in hair follicle cells, which may trigger stress responses and cell death, suggesting hair follicles as a potential target in COVID-19.

This article discusses Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) and highlights the need for continued research, noting that while supportive treatments exist, no vaccines or specific therapies are currently available.

In this study, researchers developed a novel genetic tool using Wif1-CreER knock-in mice for precise labeling and manipulation of dermal papilla cells, which could enhance understanding of hair biology and aid in developing targeted therapies for hair-related disorders.

This article reviews the medicinal uses of sweet violet in traditional Persian medicine, highlighting its benefits for conditions like coughing in asthmatic patients, constipation, insomnia, and allergic rhinitis, while noting no special side effects at therapeutic doses.
