This study found that coconut oil may protect the cuticle of chemically treated hair, which tends to be damaged compared to untreated hair.

This study investigated a patient with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy who had 68 CAG repeats, revealing early onset and unique symptoms not previously documented in the condition.

This study concluded that finasteride may safely reduce prostate size and improve urinary symptoms for at least six years in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, though further improvements beyond six months are unlikely.

This article argues against the widespread use of isolated frontal forelock hair transplantation for most patients, suggesting more extensive coverage is often a reasonable option.

This literature review found a lack of scientific studies on whether apple cider vinegar rinses can reduce carcinogenic exposure from synthetic hair extensions, indicating a need for future research to explore this potential intervention.

In this study, the researchers observed that the evolution of Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens, which causes tan spot in Australian mungbeans, is driven by clonal expansion from existing genetic variations, emphasizing the need for informed breeding strategies to manage resistance against this pathogen.

This study found that a novel rare variant in ITGB6 may cause intellectual disability, alopecia, and dentogingival anomalies in a specific Pakistani family, highlighting a potential role for ITGB6 beyond enamel formation.

This study on Alzheimer's patients found that chronic sodium selenate treatment (up to 23 months) was safe and well-tolerated, with most adverse events being mild, and suggested potential slowing of cognitive decline, though confirmation requires further controlled studies.

This article examines how digital technologies, drawing on Marshall McLuhan's concept of media as an "extension of man," transform design thinking by creating new possibilities without replacing it, emphasizing the need for a hybrid, reflective practice in design.

This study concluded that human epidermal stem cells cultured in MEM-α and EpiLife media with growth factors show high proliferation potential and plasticity, suggesting potential use in skin regenerative medicine.

This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into myogenic, osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages, although this potential decreases over time and varies by lineage.

This study concluded that teriflunomide has a consistent and manageable safety profile, with common mild-to-moderate adverse events and no new safety concerns identified over up to 12 years of treatment.

This article discusses the use of scalp stretching techniques to enhance donor hair supply for hair restoration, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the rare skin disorder ichthyosis with confetti, highlighting the potential for future therapies using revertant stem cells, and reports no new clinical results.

This study proposed a network model for the cross-linked structure of keratin-associated proteins in hair and wool fibers, suggesting notable differences between the two, potentially affecting hair fiber elasticity.

This article reviews surgical techniques for addressing scalp defects and highlights hair restoration as a cosmetic improvement strategy, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in stretch-mediated tissue expansion, fibroblasts adopt an embryonic-like, low-collagen state that enhances epidermal stem cell renewal, supporting coordinated skin expansion crucial for reconstructive surgeries.

This case report from the authors highlights a rare diagnosis of high-grade prostate cancer in a 35-year-old man, showing strong functional recovery and no detectable PSA one year after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy despite the usual onset being significantly later in life.

This study used a novel fluorescent tagging method in mice to observe collagen IV dynamics during hair follicle development, revealing that alterations in basement membrane turnover can influence epithelial progenitor cell behavior and organ morphology by affecting cell proliferation and movement.

This retrospective study found that a hairline-lowering technique effectively advanced the female hairline by an average of 2.1 cm with high patient satisfaction and minimal complications over 20 years.

This article discusses the use of hair transplantation as a reconstructive method to restore hair in various areas affected by defects, highlighting its advantages in providing natural-looking restoration.

In this study, using stirred-suspension bioreactors to expand dermal stem cells resulted in larger numbers, but had reduced efficiency in forming hair follicle structures compared to static culture conditions.

This article discusses extensive scalp lifting for male-pattern alopecia and emphasizes the need for precise surgical techniques and understanding to minimize complications, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews postoperative strategies to improve aesthetic outcomes of skin paddles used in microvascular free tissue transfer for head and neck reconstruction but offers no new clinical results.

This article discusses the applications and contraindications of skin grafts in wound treatment and reports no new research findings.

Surgical hair restoration has improved since 1959, with new techniques like minigrafts, micrografts, and scalp reductions creating more natural hairlines and reducing bald skin, despite some risks and potential for scarring.

This article provides an overview of hair restoration surgery options and applications for cosmetic and reconstructive hair deformity treatment and reports no clinical results.

This study introduces a method for long-term expansion of adult mouse epidermal stem cells in vitro using an organoid culture system that maintains the basal-apical organization.

This article discusses treatments for male pattern baldness, noting that minoxidil is effective for improving baldness at the scalp vertex in young men, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Thy1+ keratinocytes in the basal layer of the interfollicular epidermis play a crucial role in epidermal homeostasis and wound repair, with their ablation impairing these processes.
