This study identified five mutations in the gene LSS in individuals with unexplained hypotrichosis simplex, highlighting a potential role of mislocalized LSS proteins in disrupting hair follicle biology.

This study found that latanoprost and bimatoprost, when applied cutaneously to the eyelids, did not induce appreciable eyelash regrowth in patients with alopecia areata over 16 weeks.

This study found that low-fluence 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser treatment effectively improved melasma in Asian patients without serious side effects, achieving an average improvement rate of 50-74%.

This study defined menstrual phase-specific reference intervals for circulating androgen levels in young women, highlighting that anovulatory females showed higher androgen, LH, and FSH levels compared to ovulatory females.

This case study of a patient with dissecting cellulitis of the scalp found that multiple medications, including isotretinoin, achieved only modest improvement, and symptoms returned after treatments were stopped.

This study suggests that a 1,550-nm fractional erbium-glass laser may stimulate hair growth in both an alopecia mouse model and human subjects with male pattern hair loss, though further research is needed to determine its clinical applications.

This study found that latanoprost may be effective for treating eyelash alopecia areata, achieving cosmetically acceptable regrowth in 45% of patients.

This study identified a missense mutation in the rat Desmoglein 4 gene, causing abnormal hair shaft development in lanceolate hair mutant rats by disrupting a critical calcium binding site.

This study suggests that sericin microneedles with antibacterial and directional traction functionalities may enhance infected wound healing by improving skin repair and inhibiting bacterial growth, indicating potential for clinical application.

This review examines various treatments for dissecting cellulitis, noting isotretinoin may offer the best chance for remission despite limited long-term data and calls for more clinical studies.

This review found that low-level laser therapy appears promising in improving hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in androgenetic alopecia, though results should be interpreted cautiously.

In this observational study, the effectiveness of a diode laser was evaluated for treating pseudofolliculitis barbae at the Laser and Skin Surgery Center of New York, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, particles similar in size to keratin cells were surprisingly found to penetrate more efficiently into hair follicles due to a possible pumping effect from moving hairs.

This article discusses the use of lasers and light sources for hair removal and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the significance of selecting the appropriate laser system and treatment protocol for effective and safe outcomes.

In a 24-week randomized trial, this study found that the RAMACAP laser helmet significantly increased hair density and diameter in androgenetic alopecia patients compared to a sham device, although limitations included a small sample size and potential issues with the control used.

This study reports that using laser microdissection to isolate telogen hair follicles significantly improves DNA extraction efficiency for STR typing, reducing contamination from keratin.

In this study, researchers found that changes in the extracellular matrix components, particularly fibronectin, laminin, and type IV collagen, during the rat vibrissa follicle growth cycle, suggest dynamic remodeling related to dermal-epidermal signaling.

In a rat model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, this study found that low-level laser treatment significantly accelerated hair regrowth without affecting the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Hair treatments like bleaching increase friction by exposing tiny pores on the hair surface.

This study found that fractional laser treatment significantly enhances the penetration and targeting of certain permeants, such as imiquimod and FD, to skin follicles, but not hydroquinone.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may significantly improve androgenic alopecia in both men and women, either alone or alongside treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.

The researchers reported that in mice, prolactin signaling in the skin epithelium inhibits hair follicle stem cell activation, promoting quiescence during periods of high serum prolactin like pregnancy and lactation.

This review discusses cases and research on paradoxical hair growth after laser hair removal and explores laser and light therapies for treating alopecia, but reports no new results.

This study found that long pulsed Nd-YAG laser treatment significantly improved acne keloidalis nuchae by reducing inflammation and hair follicles, with early intervention yielding the best results.

In this study, transgenic mice expressing a truncated form of latent transforming growth factor-β-binding protein exhibited altered hair cycles due to increased active transforming growth factor-β, impacting keratinocyte proliferation and hair cycle phases.

This review examines the literature on laser hair removal to provide evidence-based guidelines for treatment intervals, pre- and post-treatment practices, and areas that should be avoided, but presents no new findings.

This study found that pneumatic skin flattening (PSF) significantly reduces pain and post-treatment erythema during high-energy IPL and laser hair removal while enhancing treatment efficacy.

This article reviews the side effects of topical latanoprost therapy, particularly the hypertrichosis and pigmentation changes of eyelashes and nearby skin, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa, a rare disorder often linked to internal malignancy, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight proposed pathogenic mechanisms for lanugo hair overgrowth.

This study introduced LabeledIn, a semi-automatic, human-reviewed catalog of drug-disease treatment relationships, highlighting the important role of human input in creating accurate and detailed drug indication resources.
