This review found that current forensic DNA phenotyping panels for biogeographical ancestry and visible traits face significant limitations due to inconsistencies in terminology, genetic understanding, and genotyping technologies, highlighting the need for harmonization and further research.

Hyaluronic acid microneedles help deliver minoxidil derivatives effectively for hair regrowth.

This study found that neurosteroid withdrawal significantly increased hippocampal GABA-A receptor α4 subunit expression in female mice, confirming an association between neurosteroid withdrawal and altered receptor expression.

This study found that a microneedle patch using manganese thiophosphite showed greater hair regrowth potential compared to minoxidil, even with less frequent application, for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study suggests that a novel micropatterned dermal–epidermal matrix (μDERM) enhances keratinocyte function and epidermal morphology, offering potential improvements in skin substitute design for wound healing applications.

In this study, six-week-old male mice showed significantly increased hair regrowth rates and higher expression of hair growth-related factors when treated for 22 days with Lactobacillus strains and fermented Korean berry, suggesting these could be potential promoters of hair growth via gut microbiome regulation.

Different lab conditions and light treatment methods change how human skin cells respond to light therapy.

In this study, researchers investigated the penetration and cellular responses to nanoplastics in human skin models with compromised barriers, finding that nanoplastics can penetrate the skin, accumulate in cells, and trigger inflammatory responses through specific signaling pathways.

This study provided an overview of skin organoids created from pluripotent stem cells, showcasing their potential in dermatologic research and future clinical applications, while noting challenges such as lengthy differentiation protocols that result in heterogeneous products.

This symposium discussed recent advances in understanding skin as a sensory organ, emphasizing the interactions between itch, pain, and touch pathways and highlighting potential therapeutic targets.

This review evaluates recent advancements in hair follicle bioengineering and discusses the potential for developing effective treatments for hair loss through tissue engineering, despite current challenges in creating functional cultured human hair cells.

This study reported that women with metabolic PCOS phenotype have free androgen index values approximately twice as high as those with the reproductive phenotype.

This study found that one-third of females with acne and PCOS also showed insulin resistance, suggesting that women with these conditions should be evaluated for impaired glucose tolerance.

This study developed a genetic toolbox to engineer Cutibacterium acnes for dermal applications, successfully creating a strain that secretes antioxidants to reduce oxidative stress in a UV stress model.

This study found that ATR-FTIR spectroscopy combined with machine learning effectively differentiated alopecia areata patients from healthy controls with an AUC of 0.85, and also showed promise in predicting treatment response, particularly through alterations in the Amide I band.

This study explored the creation of 3D-printed baricitinib pills using polylactic acid and found that the doughnut-shaped tablets increased surface area and drug release, with 59% released from the higher concentration pill over 24 hours.

This study demonstrated how cellular flows and tissue mechanics guide the topological transformations in avian skin, essential for feather follicle development from scales.

This study used human stem cell-derived skin organoids to model EV-A71 infection, revealing that various skin cell types are susceptible to the virus and identifying a potential drug target and replication inhibitor, suggesting its utility for studying skin infectious diseases and drug screening.

In this study, researchers discovered that activating TERT in mouse skin epithelium triggers dormant hair follicle stem cells, leading to rapid hair growth, through a pathway independent of telomere extension.

In laboratory and artificial skin model experiments, this study found that plant-derived PDRN from Korean ginseng effectively promoted skin cell regeneration and strengthened the skin barrier, suggesting a sustainable alternative to animal-derived PDRN.

This study estimated the starting dose range for a finasteride long-acting injectable formulation in humans, suggesting that 16.80 mg may be the optimal starting dose.

This review discusses mammalian models of epimorphic regeneration to define a vertebrate regeneration blastema, concluding that regenerative failure likely stems from cellular responses to the microenvironment after injury, not progenitor cell availability, and calls for targeted modification studies in mammals to advance human regeneration.

This article discusses a proposed "Darwinian" model of carcinogenesis and emphasizes that cancer prevention involves more than avoiding mutagens, as gene-environment interactions are complex and non-linear.

This study developed a mouse model for radiation cystitis that mimics human pathology and found that radiation exposure leads to increased urinary frequency and long-term weakening of urothelial integrity.

Skin cells can help create early hair-like structures in lab cultures.

This study found that mitochondrial dysfunction due to Crif1 deficiency in hair follicle stem cells significantly slows the hair growth cycle in adult mice but does not impact the maintenance of HFSC populations.

This study used numerical models to explore the cooling power required by different scalp cooling devices to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, finding that coolant temperature significantly influences scalp tissue temperatures.

In this study using the C3H/HeJ mouse model of alopecia areata, researchers found that hyperexpanded CD8⁺ T cell clones were sufficient to initiate disease, establishing a causal link between T cell clonality and pathogenicity.

This review discusses genetically-engineered mouse models for studying melanocytes and reports no new experimental findings; it emphasizes their potential to address unanswered questions in melanoma biology.

In a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, this study found that purple corn extract may improve symptoms by inhibiting prostate enlargement, reducing androgen receptor signaling, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects.
