This study found that topical cyclosporine significantly prolonged the survival of skin allografts in a rat model, with maximum effectiveness achieved through local direct application.

This review found that low-level laser therapy significantly increased hair density in adults with androgenic alopecia compared to sham treatments, with greater effects observed at lower treatment frequencies.

The authors reported that a combination of amino acid and stem cell therapy may have extended survival in a dog with hepatocutaneous syndrome to 32 months post-diagnosis.

The researchers reported that most cases of pediatric trachyonychia improved over time without regard to treatment type, based on follow-up with 11 children.

This study found that skin exposure to toluene diisocyanate in mice creates immune-recognition reservoirs in the skin's stratum corneum and hair follicles, potentially leading to sensitization and allergic reactions.

This review discusses the mixed evidence and high risk of bias in studies on low-level light therapy for treating androgenetic alopecia and calls for rigorous randomized controlled trials to assess its efficacy.

This open-label study suggests that combining valproate, lamotrigine, and a benzodiazepine can significantly reduce the frequency of epileptic drop attacks in patients with generalized or multifocal epilepsies.

This case report describes a 22-year-old woman with a nevoid plaque termed localized follicular hamartoma, characterized by skin-colored papules and specific cellular and structural features.

This study found that long-term dutasteride therapy in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia worsened erectile dysfunction, reduced testosterone levels, and increased blood glucose and lipid profile, indicating negative metabolic impacts.

This study found that combining micro-needling, low-level laser therapy, and autologous non-activated platelet-rich plasma increased hair density in patients with androgenic alopecia over the treatment period.

In this study, researchers found that alpha-keratin homologs similar to those in mammalian hair are present in the claws of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, suggesting a structural role during claw formation.

In this study, treatment with finasteride 1 mg/day for five years significantly reduced the likelihood of further visible hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo.

This study found that long-term treatment with finasteride 1 mg/day significantly improved scalp hair growth and was well tolerated in men with androgenetic alopecia over five years compared to placebo.

In this study, prolonged high-dose steroid treatment in rats caused several pathological changes, some of which regressed, particularly improvements in mammary gland tumors and pituitary-related symptoms, after stopping treatment.

In this systematic review, oral minoxidil was found to be a safe and effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, with additional benefits for female pattern hair loss and other types of alopecia, although common side effects included hypertrichosis and postural hypotension.

This study found that miR-339-5p negatively regulates loureirin A-induced differentiation of hair follicle stem cells, potentially impacting skin repair and regeneration by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This review discusses the stratification and management of male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and benign prostatic hyperplasia in primary care and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that telogen effluvium was the most common type of diffuse hair loss among women, with psychological stress and iron deficiency anemia being significant contributing factors.

In this case report, two cats with asthma developed localized skin lesions associated with inhalant glucocorticoid use, which resolved after adjusting treatment and administering milbemycin.

This study found that the long-pulse Nd:YAG laser effectively reduces unwanted facial hair across various skin types, with hair regrowth delayed significantly longer than with self-applied methods.

This case study details a 57-year-old woman with symptoms of androgen excess, including rapid hair growth and temporal balding, alongside abnormal testosterone levels and a history of chronic renal failure.

This report describes two siblings with a new familial association of loose anagen syndrome and ocular coloboma, despite unaffected parents and no family history.

This study observed that electro-acupuncture reduced global DNA methylation and DNMT3b expression in a PCOS-like rat model, suggesting a role of hypothalamic DNA methylation in PCOS development and treatment.

This study introduces a new multimodal imaging technology to visualize and quantify cell dynamics in natural skin over long durations, demonstrated in GFP bone marrow-transplanted mice, to study dynamic skin regeneration.

This meta-analysis found that in postmenopausal women with a history of breast cancer, 8 weeks of vaginal estrogen therapy while on aromatase inhibitors did not result in systemic absorption of sex hormones, suggesting potential safety for treating vulvovaginal atrophy in this context.

This study identified distinctive trichoscopic features that may aid in diagnosing loose anagen hair syndrome, such as rectangular black granular structures, solitary yellow dots, and a predominance of follicular units with single hairs.

This study found that an 8-week low-starch/low-dairy diet led to weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced testosterone levels in women with PCOS.

Local skin glucocorticoid production is crucial for healthy skin, and its disruption can lead to skin diseases.
