This study identified a genetic variant in the SGK3 gene related to hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds, suggesting a similar role for androgen-independent hair loss in humans.

THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.

In this study, researchers reported that a new skin-responsive FU excision device consistently succeeded in all patients of African descent, showing a mean graft transection rate of less than 10%, with skin thickness and firmness identified as major factors affecting graft attrition rate.

This study describes a novel FUE device that may perform successfully across various patient scenarios, adapting to differences in skin firmness, thickness, and hair curliness.

Tocilizumab treatment was associated with significant hair regrowth in one patient and temporary hair loss followed by regrowth in another.

In this study, researchers introduced the Sanusi FUE Score Scale to better predict and grade the difficulty of follicular unit excision hair transplantation by accounting for diverse hair and skin types, with further validation needed.

This study developed a new melanocyte cultivation medium without chemical mitogens, melanogenesis enhancers, or bovine products, demonstrating successful proliferation and melanotic differentiation of human melanocytes from hair follicles.

This study found that patients with androgenic alopecia rated their hair loss as more severe than dermatologists did, affecting their quality of life significantly.

In this study, researchers observed menopausal stage-specific differences in the prevalence and abundance of Malassezia species on the skin of 345 Asian women, linking menopause-driven skin changes to Malassezia-induced keratinocyte dysfunction and inflammation, which could contribute to dermatological diseases.

In this study assessing post-menopausal Asian women, distinct shifts in Malassezia species prevalence on the skin were linked to increased inflammation and impaired skin barrier function, potentially driving disorders like psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.

In this study, scalp cooling therapy was found to be well tolerated and effective at improving hair preservation for Asian women with breast or gynecological cancers undergoing certain chemotherapy regimens, particularly weekly paclitaxel, compared to historical controls.

In this study, researchers found that differences in skin condition distribution are the main source of errors when AI algorithms classify dermatological conditions from new, previously unseen sources, and proposed steps to improve their generalizability based on available information.

This study found that self-supervised pretraining significantly improves accuracy in medical image classifiers for dermatology and chest X-ray tasks, outperforming supervised baselines and showing robustness to distribution shifts with limited labeled data.

This study found that among Australians aged 15 and older, the lifetime prevalence of alopecia areata ranged from 1.2% to 2.3%, and the point prevalence ranged from 0.9% to 1.4%, emphasizing the need for better awareness and education about treatment options.

This study focused on treating 'Indralupta' or alopecia areata using Ayurvedic methods such as Prachanna Karma, finding it promising for improving perifollicular vascularization and addressing hair loss attributed to vitiated Rakta as defined by traditional texts.

This report describes a case of alopecia areata incognita in a 6-year-old child, marked by sudden diffuse hair loss without bald patches, typically observed in adults.

A new method was developed to create better skin models for healing and reconstruction.

This abstract lists various medical topics and treatments without reporting any new research findings.

This review highlights the promising potential of 3D printing for creating microneedles with precise customization and improved performance compared to traditional micromolding, emphasizing applications in personalized medical devices and advancements in biomedical fields.

This review found that teledermatology was significantly used during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly for managing common ambulatory dermatoses like acne and eczema.

In this study, testosterone increased the expression of epithelial sodium channel proteins and mRNAs in rat kidneys, suggesting a potential mechanism for its effect on blood pressure through enhanced sodium reabsorption.

This case study reports that localized telogen effluvium may be a cause of hair loss following hair transplantation, based on observations in two patients with diffuse hair shedding primarily in the frontal and temporal scalp areas.

In this study, testosterone was reported to increase aquaporin levels and water reabsorption in the kidneys of male rats, potentially leading to higher blood pressure, with effects mitigated by flutamide and finasteride.

In this study, researchers administered intravenous autologous activated platelet-rich plasma (aaPRP) to 611 patients and reported no adverse events, suggesting that this treatment is safe even for patients with various pathological conditions.

This review discusses the role of various genetic regulators in maintaining human mesenchymal stem cell stemness and highlights strategies for ex-vivo expansion, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study analyzed Reddit discussions on JAK inhibitors and found that a small number of users contribute most of the conversational content, highlighting the need for expert oversight in interpreting health information shared online.

In this study, researchers found that high-shine and straight-aligned hair are perceived as more youthful, healthy, and attractive by women across various countries, with alignment having a stronger impact than shine.

This review identifies sebaceous gland disorders as key indicators of hormonal imbalances, detailing how various hormones affect sebaceous function, and emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to improve diagnosis and management by integrating endocrine, metabolic, and dermatologic insights.

This study reported that a skin equivalent model using human outer root sheath cells and fibroblasts showed the formation of structures similar to human dermis and epidermis within two weeks after transplantation into mice.
