This case series found that adding microneedling to conventional finasteride and minoxidil therapy for androgenetic alopecia improved new hair growth and patient satisfaction in poor responders.

This study found that combining microdermabrasion, a topical regimen, and low-fluence QS Nd:YAG laser treatment effectively cleared melasma in women, with 81% of participants achieving over 75% clearance and minimal side effects.

This study found that overexpression of the mineralocorticoid receptor in a mouse model led to premature epidermal barrier development, keratinocyte apoptosis, and postnatal alopecia, indicating new roles for MR signaling in skin physiology.

This review highlights how advanced nanocarrier and microneedle-based transdermal drug delivery strategies can potentially improve the treatment of skin diseases by enhancing site-specific drug delivery, increasing skin penetration, and reducing systemic toxicity compared to conventional methods.

This narrative review discusses the use of micrografts and minigrafts for facial and scalp reconstruction following various causes of hair loss and reports a high level of patient satisfaction with these techniques.

This study found that while micronutrient abnormalities are common among patients receiving home parenteral nutrition, serious consequences from these abnormalities are rare.

This study suggests that a novel micropatterned dermal–epidermal matrix (μDERM) enhances keratinocyte function and epidermal morphology, offering potential improvements in skin substitute design for wound healing applications.

In this study, overexpression of ornithine decarboxylase accelerated basal cell carcinoma in Ptch1+/– mice under UVB exposure, while its inhibition reduced tumor induction, suggesting potential chemoprevention strategies in humans.

This review outlines the development, applications, and challenges of microneedle-based drug delivery from 2000-2019, particularly highlighting fabrication techniques, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that inhibiting the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) prevented UVB-induced basal cell carcinomas in a mouse model, suggesting ODC is a potential target for chemoprevention strategies.

This review found that patients with alopecia areata may have lower levels of vitamin D, zinc, and folate, but conflicting evidence precludes definitive clinical recommendations for micronutrient supplementation.

The study improved understanding of keratin fiber structure by showing consistent microfibril diameter but varying distances and electron density profiles.

In this study, microporous electrospun scaffolds pre-seeded with dermal fibroblasts accelerated wound healing and improved dermal matrix structure and hair follicle regeneration compared to acellular scaffolds in a rat model.

This review article highlights recent advances in microneedle technology for wound healing and tissue regeneration, discussing various cargo types, structural designs, and fabrication methods, and suggesting guidelines for designing microneedle systems tailored to specific applications.

This review discusses the advantages, applications, and current trends of dissolving microneedles for drug delivery across various therapeutic areas and reports no new clinical results.

This study reviews recent advancements in microneedles made from PLGA, highlighting their use in delivering vaccines, drugs, and proteins through the skin with minimal invasiveness, and discusses the challenges and future potential of these delivery systems.

This study found that microporous electrospun scaffolds with a 70:30 collagen I to poly(ɛ-caprolactone) ratio significantly accelerated wound closure and dermal regeneration in full-thickness critical-sized skin defects.

In this study, serum from patients with alopecia areata or universalis did not affect hair growth in transplanted scalp skin grafts on nude mice, despite increased deposition of immunoreactants.

This review highlights that microneedling shows some promise for improving hair growth in alopecia, particularly when used with other treatments, though more research is needed to establish its efficacy and protocols.

This study found that prevascularizing dermal matrices with adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments improved vascularization and allowed earlier successful skin grafting in a bradythrophic wound model.

This review discusses the role of miRNA/mRNA regulatory networks in skin development, epidermal homeostasis, and tissue remodeling, and suggests potential for miRNA-based therapies in treating skin conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the applications of microneedle technology in drug delivery, dermatology, and cosmetics, but it presents no new experimental or clinical findings.

This study found that repeated microneedle stimulation in mice promoted hair growth and increased the expression of hair-growth-related genes, suggesting potential therapeutic uses for alopecia.

Microneedling combined with triamcinolone can safely stimulate faster hair regrowth in people with Alopecia Areata.

This study found that polymeric micelle formulations significantly improved the targeted delivery of adapalene to hair follicles compared to standard Differin® products, which suggests potential advantages in treating hair follicle-related conditions and reducing side effects.

This study found that miRNA expression profiles in follicular fluid are altered in women with PCOS, with certain miRNAs potentially useful for distinguishing patient subtypes and contributing to understanding PCOS heterogeneity.

This study concluded that microsurgical reconstruction is a reliable method to achieve stable coverage of large, complex scalp defects, although cancer control rates were poor.

This study found that micro-needling with cosmeceuticals or platelet-rich plasma significantly improved wrinkles, skin laxity, scar softening, and hair growth over 12 months, with minimal side effects, and that the best results occur with pigment and platelet massaging between 5 to 30 minutes post-treatment.

This study found that finasteride dose-dependently blocked the acquisition of ethanol drinking in mice and maintained reduced consumption even after treatment ended.

This review summarizes the application of microneedles in treating various skin diseases and highlights challenges like low drug loading, noting no new clinical results are reported.
