This review discusses the medical and dental applications of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), highlighting their potential for improving drug delivery and providing biocompatible solutions for medical devices, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that dermoscopy is an effective tool for diagnosing and monitoring androgenetic alopecia in women, as it helped identify common signs such as hair miniaturization and peripilar brown halo.

In this study, researchers developed an acellular bioscaffold made from ovine tendon collagen with an antibacterial coating for treating skin wounds. They found that genipin crosslinking improves the scaffold's properties, and with plasma polymerisation, it enhances antibacterial activity, potentially benefiting wound healing.

This paper highlights the growing scientific interest in plant extracts for cosmetics due to their potential benefits, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and protective properties, while emphasizing the need for quality and safety assessment to mitigate possible adverse reactions.

This study found that seasonal changes significantly affected hair follicle activity and fibre growth in Merghoz goats, with variations seen in feed intake and growth patterns across different seasons.

This study explored peripheral blood immune dysregulation in alopecia areata through single-cell analyses, identifying systemic changes linked to disease severity and key signaling roles for monocytes, NK cells, and memory T cells, suggesting potential therapeutic targets.

This study developed and validated a comprehensive method using mass spectrometry to profile sex (pro)hormones in plasma, with results showing reliable calibration and detection of 31 analytes in samples from pre- and postmenopausal women and men, while addressing potential over- or underestimations in analyte concentrations.

This review focuses on the various skin toxicities caused by chemotherapeutic and targeted tumor therapy drugs, including rashes, keratoacanthoma, and more severe conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, without presenting new clinical results.

This review hypothesizes that risperidone long-acting injectable may be linked to bullous pemphigoid in a bipolar patient, though current studies report mixed results.

This review highlights how wound microbiota, particularly bacteria like Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus, significantly influences wound healing dynamics and suggests potential clinical applications through microbiota manipulation.

In this study, researchers highlighted that while hair lipids are crucial for hair health and protection, surfactants in shampoos and conditioners can partially remove these lipids, potentially affecting hair structure, though the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood and require further investigation.

Personalized treatment is crucial for women with hyperandrogenism-related acne and hirsutism.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had deficient or suboptimal serum vitamin D levels, but the effects of vitamin D on metabolic syndrome and hormonal balance remain unclear.

This article reviews the causes and treatment options for hyperandrogenism-related hirsutism and acne in women, reporting no new results and highlighting the variability in treatment needs based on severity and personal desire.

This case report describes a 56-year-old man with late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus where digital gangrene was an initial manifestation, highlighting its rarity as a primary sign.

This study reported that among patients aged 19 to 60 who experienced hair loss after COVID-19, a treatment involving a complex drug and peptide lotion led to hair improvement in 92% of cases, with good tolerability and no reported side effects.

Hyperandrogenism in women often causes acne and excess hair, treatable with lifestyle changes and medications.

In this study, researchers identified elongated corkscrew hairs as a new trichoscopic pattern in immunosuppressed adults with chronic endothrix tinea capitis, which may help in earlier diagnosis and targeted mycological investigation.

This study identified a group of dermal fibroblasts near hair follicle stem cells in mice that facilitate hair regeneration by creating a biomechanically compliant extracellular matrix, enhancing stem cell activation and promoting a positive feedback loop for tissue regeneration.

The researchers reported that administration of the antioxidant compound TS-13 in mice with chemotherapy-induced alopecia accelerated hair regrowth, although it did not fully prevent chemotherapy-related hair loss, suggesting TS-13 may aid in managing hair loss without negating the cancer treatment's effectiveness.

This study found that eyebrow follicles, as opposed to buccal swabs or nails, are the most reliable tissue for post-HSCT germline genetic testing due to lower donor DNA contamination.

In this case study, a 35-year-old male with severe burn-related scalp injuries underwent successful reconstruction through tissue expansion, skin grafts, and multiple hair transplant sessions, resulting in satisfactory aesthetic and functional recovery.

In this study, researchers documented the use of 69 plant species across 38 families in traditional medicine by herbal practitioners in Raichur District, detailing their therapeutic properties for 22 ailments such as fever, epilepsy, and diabetes, though interest in traditional practices is declining.

This study discovered that in *Drosophila*, knockdown of specific storage proteins in adipocytes decreased germline stem cell maintenance, implicating a role for these proteins in adult tissue regulation.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma significantly improved hair density and thickness compared to monofilament thread implantation in treating androgenetic alopecia.

In a retrospective multicenter cohort study, this research observed that baricitinib was effective and well-tolerated in treating adult patients with alopecia areata, including those with severe cases, showing promise in improving outcomes over a 12-month period with manageable side effects.

In this study, researchers developed a method using stencils to create controlled stiffness gradients in alginate hydrogels, revealing that stiffer regions within the gels promote deeper invasion by breast cancer cells, facilitating the study of mechanosensitive cellular behaviors.

This narrative review discusses the promising role of photobiomodulation in dermatology, emphasizing its non-invasive nature and potential benefits, but acknowledges the need for further research to establish standard protocols.

This review explores the applicability of the current PCOS diagnostic criteria, highlighting the need to reassess these criteria in light of new evidence on the disorder's heterogeneity and potential subtypes.

This study investigated 130 patients and found a significant inverse correlation between copper content and the copper/zinc ratio in hair samples and the extent of coronary artery disease, while zinc content alone showed no significant relationship with disease extent.
