This case study reports that a woman with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita experienced severe cicatricial alopecia and total nail loss after discontinuing treatment for two years, highlighting the potential for serious effects if the condition is not managed.

This study develops FR-1, a topical small molecule, which reduces scarring and avoids skin atrophy in a murine wound model, showing potential for treating fibrosis without the side effects of current therapies.

This study investigated the photoprotective properties of Brazilian pepper tree extract against UV-induced damage in skin cells, reporting that it enhanced expression of genes relevant to skin health and showed superior activity compared to standard antioxidants.

This study observed that treating hair follicles with BM15766 and 7DHC led to structural damage, disrupted cellular organization, reduced expression of key genes and proteins, and increased apoptosis, in contrast to controls, indicating detrimental effects on hair follicle integrity.

This study found that peimine treatment significantly improved wound healing and tissue regeneration in mice by enhancing wound closure, granulation tissue formation, and epidermal thickness, with effects linked to activation of the Notch1 signaling pathway.

Versican in dermal papilla cells is crucial for healthy hair growth.

In this study, early prenatal treatment with Minoxidil, a lysyl hydroxylase inhibitor, partly improved cardiac outflow tract septation in Tbx1 mutant mice, suggesting that inhibiting collagen cross-linking may mitigate some effects of Tbx1 mutation associated with DiGeorge syndrome.

In this case report, a 17-year-old male on sodium valproate therapy developed rare longitudinal melanonychia, suggesting sodium valproate can induce nail pigmentation as a side effect.

This article discusses how recent research suggests that aggressive video games have little effect on aggression and violence among players, calling for professional organizations to update their policy statements accordingly.

This study found that intravenous administration of a shark-derived receptor antibody, 3P17, promoted hair growth in mice by increasing hair matrix cell proliferation and activating leptin-STAT3 signaling, with transdermal leptin delivery enhancing this effect through improved skin penetration.

This study found that Melamax®, originally developed as an eco-friendly hair dye, provides significant protection against ultraviolet-induced oxidative and inflammatory damage in keratinocytes by modulating gene expression and signaling pathways, highlighting its dual potential for cosmetic coloration and skin photoprotection.

Hair growth is influenced by factors like genetics and nutrition, and more research is needed to understand hair loss and growth mechanisms.

This study found that low oxygen conditions and ECM degradation products increased the proliferation and migration of perivascular stem cells without altering their phenotype, suggesting potential roles in tissue repair.

In this study, growing human hair follicles in a defined glycosaminoglycan hydrogel ex vivo promoted cell survival, proliferation, and activation of hair growth-related signaling pathways, suggesting GAG-based hydrogels could modulate the hair follicle growth cycle.

In this study, acellular dermal matrix hydrogels significantly improved healing in a rat model of radiation-induced skin injury by promoting angiogenesis and modulating inflammation, suggesting potential as a novel treatment for this common radiotherapy complication.

This study found that concentrated nanofat, used alone or with decellularized nanofat, may enhance hair growth in mice by activating dermal papilla cells and the anagen phase.

This study presents two case reports where patients experienced hair loss during treatment with the SSRI sertraline, highlighting this rare but potential side effect.

In this study, researchers found that an injectable solution of low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid and amino acids significantly improved skin rejuvenation and elasticity in the labia majora of post-menopausal women over 12 weeks, with a reported 25% or greater aesthetic improvement and high patient satisfaction.

This case study reports instances of hair loss in two patients taking sertraline, suggesting that even low doses of SSRIs might cause this rare side effect, which could impact treatment adherence.

In this study, platelet-rich fibrin matrix combined with follicular unit transplantation increased hair follicle numbers in men with androgenetic alopecia on the treated side of the scalp after six months.

This review highlights the potential of targeting hepatic stellate cell ferroptosis as a treatment strategy for liver fibrosis, underscoring the need for further research into ferroptosis mechanisms in these cells to better understand and combat this condition.

In this study, porcine collagen acellular dermal matrix scaffolds combined with mice platelet-rich plasma were associated with increased hair density and follicle regeneration in mice with alopecia, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach.

This study found that in healthy adult women, a collagen and antioxidant-rich treatment significantly improved skin elasticity, hydration, texture, and reduced wrinkles and hair fall over 56 days compared to a placebo, indicating its efficacy and safety.

In this study, researchers modified an acellular scaffold with different concentrations of eggshell membrane protein, finding that a 5% concentration effectively enhanced tissue regeneration in mice with excisional wounds, achieving complete healing within 14 days without causing immunogenicity or inflammation.

This study found that decision-making effects related to time of day and chronotype were only significant when using RNA-based chronotype measurements, indicating molecular clock differences may influence these behaviors.

This review describes how curcumin, a compound derived from turmeric, affects various cell signaling pathways involved in cancer progression, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent with fewer side effects compared to conventional cancer treatments.

This study found that endothelin-1 increases adhesion and chemotaxis of amelanotic melanocytes on fibronectin, laminin, and collagen IV, potentially through changes in the actin cytoskeleton.

This study found that isolated hair follicle outer root sheaths from mice can regenerate new dermal papillary structures in vitro, with stem cells and neutrophils playing key roles in the regeneration process.

In this study, only a subset of proposed biomarkers universally responded to priming in mesenchymal stromal cells, suggesting limited utility for standardized potency assays across different MSC types and conditions.

This study found that treating hair with ATS, formed from fumaric acid and cysteamine, effectively improved hair quality by increasing moisture content and altering the internal structure of strong curls.
