This study observed that baricitinib led to significant hair regrowth and improved psychological well-being in severe alopecia areata patients over 48 weeks, with 63.2% achieving a SALT score of ≤20.

PLGA-based microneedles show promise for painless, long-term drug delivery but need design and safety improvements.

This study found that applying aqueous bay leaf extract to skin graft wounds in rabbits reduced inflammation and improved tissue regeneration, leading to enhanced healing compared to untreated controls, particularly in terms of collagen organization, fibrosis, and inflammation modulation over a 21-day period.

In this case report, a 2.5-year-old boy with biotinidase deficiency, initially misdiagnosed due to overlapping symptoms, showed dramatic improvement in several clinical areas after starting biotin supplementation, but persistent sensorineural hearing loss underscored the importance of early diagnosis for preventing irreversible complications.

This study found that patients using GLP-1 receptor agonists, specifically liraglutide, dulaglutide, and semaglutide, had a higher likelihood of being diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia, while those on exenatide showed increased odds for both androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium.

This study highlights the potential benefits of herbal soaps and shampoo bars as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional cosmetics, noting their antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties as well as sustainability advantages such as reduced plastic use and avoidance of synthetic chemicals.

This study explored the use of flower-inspired analogies in dermatology, highlighting how these vivid descriptions aid in diagnosing skin conditions by drawing parallels between clinical features and floral patterns, effectively blending scientific observation with artistic imagery.

This study found that individuals taking valproate had a higher incidence of hair loss and reported an association between valproate levels, reduced biotinidase activity, and hair loss, compared to a control group.

This report presents a rare case where a patient with chronic urticaria developed alopecia areata during azathioprine therapy, accompanied by bone marrow suppression; these effects resolved after stopping the medication, suggesting a possible link between azathioprine and autoimmune activation despite its intended immunosuppressive use.

This study observed that the relationship between AA disease severity and psychological issues like anxiety and depression varies by country, sex, and age, indicating more detailed research is needed to fully understand its global mental health impact.

This study found that oral cyclosporine therapy was more effective than betamethasone mini-pulse therapy for treating alopecia areata, with a better patient-reported outcome on hair regrowth, despite a higher incidence of mild, reversible adverse effects in the cyclosporine group.

This study suggests that addressing hormonal, stress, and metabolic factors with vitamins, minerals, and botanicals, which has improved hair growth in women, might also benefit men experiencing hair thinning.

In this study, a metformin-loaded rosemary-based nanoemulgel was found to significantly enhance hair follicle growth in rats, suggesting its potential as a new treatment for androgenetic alopecia due to its promising physicochemical properties and controlled drug release.

This study found that hydroalcoholic extracts of Bacopa monnieri demonstrated significant antimitotic activity in an Allium cepa model, suggesting potential comparable effects to the standard drug methotrexate.

In this study, researchers identified an elite germplasm of the medicinal plant Eclipta alba, known for its liver disease benefits, with higher growth, yield, and wedelolactone content, suitable for large-scale cultivation to reduce strain on wild populations.

This study reviewed the publication trends and key findings on alternative therapies for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the increasing research interest in dutasteride and nontopical minoxidil, while noting a lack of high-quality trials for nontopical minoxidil formulations.

In this study, a 5-year-old Angus bull experienced systemic granulomatous disease and vasculitis potentially associated with grazing on hairy vetch, but other bulls in the same pasture showed no symptoms, suggesting variability in disease manifestation from similar exposures.

A specific hair protein variant increases the spread of breast cancer and is linked to worse survival rates.

This study reported a rare case where a pheochromocytoma produced ACTH, leading to cyclic Cushing syndrome, and underscores the importance of considering this possibility in cases of ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism with an adrenal mass.

In this study, distinct androgen excess subtypes were identified in women with PCOS, with the adrenal androgen excess cluster showing significantly higher rates of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, suggesting 11-oxygenated androgens as potential drivers of metabolic risk.

This literature review reports that micro-needle radiofrequency is increasingly recognized in aesthetic medicine as a safe, effective treatment for various skin conditions, but further research is needed to optimize treatment parameters for the best outcomes.

In this study, the combination of two compounds activated AMPK levels in skin cells, reducing oxidative damage and improving energy production, which may support faster recovery and repair in aging skin.

This study found that matrix progenitor cells in hair follicles move in a conveyor-belt-like fashion along the dermal papilla, changing their transcriptional states and lineage potential as they differentiate into inner hair follicle layers.

This review discusses the link between polycystic ovary syndrome and sleep problems, primarily obstructive sleep apnea, and calls for more research on other sleep disturbances in affected women and adolescent girls.

This study compared the antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaf extract and Eclipta alba bark extract, finding that Hibiscus rosa-sinensis exhibited greater antidiabetic activity, whereas Eclipta alba demonstrated stronger antioxidant activity.

This article proposes expanding dermatologic care through barbershops to improve health access and trust among Black men, particularly for conditions like pseudofolliculitis barbae and acne keloidalis nuchae; it reports no new clinical findings.

This case report details a post-menopausal woman with hirsutism and virilization due to rare Leydig cell tumors in both ovaries, underscoring the challenge of detecting such tumors with standard imaging.

In this study, bovine milk-derived oligosaccharides were found to increase sebocyte proliferation, lipid content, and inflammatory mediator synthesis through the mTORC1 pathway, potentially contributing to milk-based inflammation in sebocytes.

This study suggests that radiation-induced changes in FGF18 gene expression in the skin may predict later reductions in bone mass, as observed in irradiated mice.

This article reviews various Keshya drugs described in Bhava Prakasha Nighantu for hair care and reports no new research findings.
