This review reports that low-level laser therapy may effectively prevent and alleviate oral mucositis from chemotherapy, supporting its use as a viable treatment option.

This study at Gajra Raja Medical College found that topical methotrexate with tretinoin was more effective but not significantly better than betamethasone with tretinoin for treating alopecia areata over six months, with similar safety profiles between the treatments.

This study found that combining bone marrow aspirate concentrate with platelet-rich plasma significantly improved wound healing in mice compared to other treatments.

This study found that targeting mTORC1 with rapamycin effectively inhibited skin tumor promotion in a mouse model, highlighting a potential target for cancer chemoprevention.

This study found that among adults with severe alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, or alopecia universalis, oral tofacitinib was more effective than methotrexate in reducing hair loss over a 12-week period, though long-term safety and efficacy remain unestablished.

In this study, a DMG-Na and caffeine-containing shampoo significantly reduced hair loss and increased hair density in men with male pattern hair loss over 6 months, compared to a placebo, without adverse effects.

This study found that CTIP2 is highly expressed in mouse skin during embryogenesis and adulthood, suggesting it may play a role in skin development and homeostasis.

This study identified novel mitochondrial DNA variations in PCOS patients from Pakistan, which may serve as genetic predisposition markers, highlighting especially the potential pathogenicity of frameshift mutations in the MT-ND2 gene.

In this study, micropigmentation was reported to be an effective method for camouflaging hair loss and scalp scars in Korean patients, with high satisfaction in 42 out of 43 cases.

This study suggests that combining the 5α-reductase inhibitor 4-MA with the antiandrogen Flutamide may improve prostate cancer therapy by additively inhibiting prostatic growth and androgen-sensitive functions in rats.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone induces hair loss in male C57BL/6 mice, and this effect can be partially reversed by the androgen receptor antagonist bicalutamide.

This article discusses a combination of photobiomodulation and microneedling as a four-week treatment for male androgenetic alopecia in a case series, but reports no new clinical results.

A deep learning model was developed to help diagnose trichothiodystrophy by analyzing hair patterns.

This study compared oral tofacitinib and methotrexate in treating moderate-to-severe alopecia areata, finding that tofacitinib was more effective at reducing SALT scores and improving scalp hair assessment PRO scores, though both treatments reduced psychological distress similarly without serious adverse effects.

Phosphatidic acid may promote hair growth like minoxidil.

This study describes the use of a genetically engineered mouse model, mTurquoise2-Col4a1, to fluorescently label collagen IV and observe basement membrane dynamics during skin development, revealing its stability and pliability during rapid growth phases.

This review assesses existing knowledge about the 17q21.31 inversion polymorphism, highlighting its genetic structure differences across ancestries, associations with various diseases, and implications for precision medicine and drug discovery.

This study reports that combining low level laser treatment with liposome-delivered methylene blue may effectively target sebaceous glands in mice, with efficacy influenced by laser timing and drug absorption.

This study presents a follicular automaton model that simulates human hair cycle dynamics and can reproduce hair patterns similar to diffuse or androgenetic alopecia by incorporating spatially heterogeneous parameters and follicle miniaturization.

This study developed a handheld card to simplify the calculation of the SALT score for assessing alopecia areata severity, noting that while it accelerates the process, formal validation against existing methods is still needed.

This study found that mTOR gene expression was significantly higher in individuals with acne vulgaris compared to healthy controls, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for acne prognosis and treatment response.

This retrospective study found that methotrexate had variable efficacy in treating severe alopecia areata in children, with successful hair regrowth observed in five out of thirteen assessable cases.

This study found that scalp medical tattooing effectively improved cosmetic appearance and concealed bifid parietal whorls without complications in the patients evaluated.

This case series reports that electrochemotherapy with intravenous bleomycin effectively resolved cutaneous mast cell tumors in four cats, showing no tumor recurrence during follow-up, except for new lesions in one cat, and minimal local toxicity.

In this research, most cases of mammary and extramammary Paget disease were reported to express PRAME, expanding the understanding of its presence in cutaneous epithelial tumors, though its diagnostic utility is limited by overlap with other conditions.

In this study, combining topical calcipotriol with mometasone results in greater improvement in alopecia areata treatment compared to using mometasone alone, as evidenced by a more significant reduction in SALT score over 24 weeks.

This study found that myristoleic acid promotes dermal papilla cell proliferation and anagen signaling through autophagy, cell cycle progression, and activation of the Wnt/β-catenin and ERK pathways.

This study found that activating both PKM2 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling enhanced hair re-growth and HFSCs proliferation in mice, suggesting a potential treatment strategy for alopecia.

Five monthly sessions of minoxidil-dutasteride-copper peptide tattooing significantly improve hair regrowth in men with androgenetic alopecia.

This study describes new devices, "HairMeasure" and "Scalp Zone Identifier," which offer an economical method to calculate Hair Mass Index without disposable materials.
