This letter to the editor discusses the relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms and erectile dysfunction as reported in a previous study, but presents no new findings.

This study reports that scalp biopsies in white adults usually have 16.5 hair follicles, primarily in the anagen phase, with male samples showing fewer follicular units but more fibrous tracts in certain areas.

This study found that oligo-amenorrhea/menstrual irregularity in women is associated with an increased risk of overall cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and myocardial infarction, while evidence linking hyperandrogenism or polycystic ovaries to cardiovascular disease remains mixed or unexplored.

Using three-hair grafts from the back of the head for eyebrow transplantation offers a natural look and reduces scarring.

This study constructed a comprehensive atlas of prenatal human skin, revealing that innate immune cells, such as macrophages, play a crucial role in skin morphogenesis by interacting with non-immune cells, influencing hair follicle formation and angiogenesis beyond their traditional immune functions.

This review covers the ongoing debate on measuring underinsurance in health coverage and reports no new empirical results, recommending a national effort to standardize underinsurance metrics.

This review discusses methods for improving study design and evaluation in sexual health literature and reports no new clinical results; it highlights current methodological issues and the benefits of validated questionnaires.

This review discusses the challenges of interpreting observational studies on COVID-19 due to biases from non-representative samples, such as collider bias, and suggests better sampling methods to mitigate these issues.

This study found that Wnt signaling in the hair follicle is crucial for coordinating the behavior of epithelial and melanocyte stem cells, which drives hair regeneration and melanocyte differentiation in mice.

This study reported that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had a higher prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes, with variations influenced by ethnicity and obesity.

This study found that different stabilizing mutations in Aux/IAA proteins affect root hair development in Arabidopsis by disrupting the auxin response and suggest a model where the relative abundance of these proteins determines root hair initiation.

This review discusses the growing use of scalp hair for elemental analysis in various fields and highlights advancements in analysis techniques, including the future potential of laser ablation ICP-MS, but reports no new clinical results.
