This article reviews therapeutic advances published between December 1986 and December 1987 but reports no new research findings; readers are advised to consult the original articles before considering new therapies.

This review examines clinical trials on low-level laser therapy for pattern hair loss but reports no definitive conclusions, highlighting the need for more controlled studies to resolve uncertainties.

This review discusses the use of finasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia in men, noting its effectiveness in maintaining and regrowing hair on the scalp and top of the head.

In this study, the researchers successfully increased dipicolinic acid production in Bacillus subtilis by genetically modifying the spoVF operon, achieving a significant productivity improvement in the culture medium.

In this study, adding TPGS to a minoxidil formulation improved local retention and reduced systemic absorption in certain solvent mixes, particularly with a balance of alcohol and PEG 400.

This study found a weak positive correlation between dihydrotestosterone levels and C-reactive protein in COVID-19 patients, particularly in those with low testosterone, suggesting potential inflammatory effects.

This article reviews various strategies, primarily developed by the Turin University Pharmaceutical Technology group, for increasing entrapment efficiency of hydrophilic molecules in nanoparticulate systems and reports no clinical results.

This review discusses the potential of adipose-derived stem cells for treating vitiligo, hair loss, and chronic wound healing, but reports no new clinical results and suggests the need for further investigation.

This review summarizes recent findings on scalp involvement in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, highlighting diagnostic methods and their underlying histopathological, immunopathological, and clinical features, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that age-related fluctuations in hormones and endocannabinoids in male C57BL/6 mice showed specific patterns, with peak values observed around 2.7 to 3.4 months, with these patterns seen in both plasma and hair but with different magnitudes.

This study found that laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry can effectively reconstruct time-resolved mercury exposure in micrometer segments of a single hair strand from fish-eaters.

This study found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was more effective than saline for hair regrowth in scalp alopecia areata, with 10 mg/mL showing the best response but more side effects.

In this study, researchers found that high hair cortisol levels, indicating stress in cows, were associated with certain shelter and cow-level conditions such as unclean environments and physical injuries.

This study found that ethosomes containing 30% ethanol slightly improved the targeting of dutasteride to hair follicles in vitro, with a higher targeting factor compared to dried ethosomes and controls after 24 hours on porcine skin.

This study found that camelina oil supplementation was comparable to flaxseed and canola oil in supporting skin and coat health and managing inflammation in dogs over 16 weeks.

This study found that collecting hair samples for cortisol analysis is feasible in community-dwelling individuals with longstanding multiple sclerosis, although no significant correlation between hair cortisol levels and perceived chronic stress was observed, highlighting the complexity of stress measurement in this population.

This review examines the definition, classification, mechanism, clinical efficacy for hair regrowth, and potential adverse effects of platelet rich plasma, but does not present new experimental results.

Topical metformin gel is as effective and safe as steroids for treating alopecia areata.

This study found that once-daily oxiconazole cream effectively treats tinea infections, achieving at least 80% cure rates, and shows comparable efficacy to other antifungal creams with similar tolerability.

This study reports that once-daily oxiconazole cream effectively achieves mycologic and clinical cures for various fungal infections, with success rates of at least 80% in patients.

This study found that measuring 24-OHase induction by 1,25(OH)2D3 in cultured skin fibroblasts is a sensitive test for detecting genetic defects in the 1,25(OH)2D effector pathway.

This study found that good quality protein supplements or rumen-protected methionine increased fiber yield in Angora goats and, to a lesser extent, in Cashmere goats.

This study's simulation found that Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate penetrates more efficiently through the skin's stratum corneum than via the infundibulum, following different pathways and dynamics in each membrane.

Finasteride reduces opioid use and withdrawal symptoms in animals.

This study used X-ray fluorescence to analyze elemental and heavy metal contents in Senegalese powdered milk, finding potential safety concerns with excessive calcium in certain samples and significantly high potassium levels in one, suggesting ongoing monitoring is crucial for consumer safety.

This report summarizes data from The Netherlands' cosmetovigilance system from 2009-2014, finding that facial and hair products commonly caused undesirable skin reactions like erythema and itching, with severe cases occasionally involving hair loss and respiratory issues.

This study concluded that mixtures of weak endocrine disruptors, such as parabens and azole fungicides, can produce combination effects that should be considered in regulatory risk assessments to avoid underestimating potential risks.

This study found that the majority of COVID-19 survivors experienced post-discharge symptoms, with fatigue being the most common, and these symptoms significantly affected quality of life, especially in relation to the severity of their initial infection.

This review discusses the use of hair analysis for detecting misuse of drugs in livestock, covering hair biology, drug incorporation, sampling methods, and analytical techniques, but reports no new findings.

This study used light sheet fluorescence microscopy to successfully image and analyze calcium oscillations in the root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, finding that these oscillations correlate with the root hair growth rate and that auxin affects these properties.
