In this study, particles similar in size to keratin cells were surprisingly found to penetrate more efficiently into hair follicles due to a possible pumping effect from moving hairs.

This article explains the FUE technique for hair transplantation, its associated risks and complications, and outlines a protocol for maxillofacial surgeons, but reports no new clinical results.

This study using an apertureless scanning near-field optical microscope found that dye restricted to hair's periphery remains mainly on the surface and in the endocuticle.

This study found that oral minoxidil can improve hair and eyebrow growth and increase the density of the frontotemporal hairline in patients with FFA, though adverse effects were reported by a third of participants.

In this study, using an ex vivo porcine skin model, researchers found that a 4% nanoparticle concentration significantly enhanced the transport of fluorescein sodium into hair follicles compared to a 2% concentration, while higher concentrations did not further increase penetration depth.

This study introduces a non-invasive photoacoustic imaging technique that accurately measures hair follicle density and subdermal angles, showing strong correlation with the gold-standard photographic method.

This study found that XP-endo Finisher R was approximately twice as effective as passive ultrasonic irrigation in removing root filling material from curved mesiobuccal canals of maxillary molars.

This study found that combining laser ablation with nanoparticulate drug formulations effectively enhanced the skin and follicular delivery of hydrophilic drugs like minoxidil and minocycline in preclinical models.

This case report describes a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with monilethrix despite no familial history and treated with a topical minoxidil trial.

In this animal study, ultrasound combined with a new microbubble formulation of minoxidil increased hair growth rates and improved follicle characteristics more effectively than minoxidil alone.

In this article, the researchers emphasized the importance of proper incision angles and careful preparation of the receiving site during eyebrow hair transplants to achieve natural-looking results, highlighting that meticulous planning in design and positioning is crucial.

This study reports a rare case of tinea capitis in an adult female, where Malassezia species may facilitate Microsporum canis growth, and successful treatment with oral antifungals led to rash resolution and hair regrowth.

This study found that microneedling combined with growth factors significantly improved blood circulation, hair thickness, strand resistance, and psychological well-being in patients with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting this combination as a promising and safe treatment option.

This study demonstrated that the IVL-DrugFluidic® platform is effective for mass-producing finasteride-loaded polymeric microspheres for long-acting injectables, maintaining stable drug release without an initial burst for a month.

This study suggests that allergens like linalool found in personal care products may contribute to the pathobiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia by affecting immune responses and stem cell function in hair follicles.

In this study, red-light irradiation significantly increased hair follicle numbers and ATP levels in a mouse model, highlighting low-level laser therapy's potential to enhance hair regeneration and alter the skin metabolic microenvironment.

In this study, an infection model using rabbits was developed for dermatophytosis by inoculating macroconidia of Microsporum species, showing that direct intradermal application effectively progressed to the skin invasion phase and highlighted the correlation between severity of symptoms and duration post-inoculation.

This study found that root hairs in maize, wheat, and finger millet continued to grow beyond the typical root hair zone when grown with the Turface® fertigation system, highlighting potential for understanding root hair dynamics and crop improvement.

This study observed that antisense oligonucleotides targeting FGFR-1 increased cellular activity in hair follicle cultures from mice, suggesting potential clinical utility for treating baldness.

This case report describes successful treatment of a 7-year-old girl with gray patch tinea capitis using oral micronized griseofulvin and topical ketoconazole shampoo, resulting in complete clinical and microscopic clearance.

This case report from the study describes a dog suffering from dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis, presenting with alopecia on the neck and ear, illustrating the zoonotic risk of these fungal infections in both animals and humans, particularly in hot and humid climates.

This study developed a mouse model to monitor hair follicle cycling macroscopically through live bioluminescence imaging, enabling detailed analysis of hair cycle and propagation dynamics influenced by environmental factors.

This case report describes a 41-year-old woman with alopecia mucinosa presenting multiple enlarging facial plaques, indicating a potentially non-benign course despite prior classifications.

This study reports on a unique clinical presentation of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides in a 60-year-old man, highlighting complexities in diagnosis due to dense histiocytic infiltration, which led to xanthoma formation before treatment, and obscured lymphomatous features.

This study found that adapalene-loaded microemulsions significantly enhanced the drug's penetration through guinea pig skin compared to an aqueous suspension, with factors like surfactant ratios and the water-oil phase balance affecting the transfollicular drug delivery efficiency.

Three new techniques simplify and improve the preparation of tissue samples for skin cancer surgery.

This abstract reports no new research findings; it includes an educational image of microorganisms found in a skin biopsy.

This study developed and validated a micellar electrokinetic chromatography method to determine finasteride stability, finding that the drug degrades under acidic, basic, and oxidative stress conditions.
