Mice hair follicles take in the amino acid cystine.

This study found that injectable finasteride microspheres provided a sustained drug release with a minimal initial burst in albino rabbits compared to oral suspension.

This study found that home use of low-level light therapy reduced inflammation and symptoms like itching and burning in women with frontal fibrosing alopecia over six months.

This case report highlights an atypical presentation of favus in an immunocompetent adult, where a psoriasiform plaque over the 'bindi' area was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole, achieving complete resolution without relapse. Simple stains proved essential for diagnosis in this resource-limited setting.

In this case report, a 46-year-old man developed scalp necrosis with infection following FUE hair transplantation, possibly due to factors like smoking, long surgery duration, dense grafting, and secondary infection. Early recognition and treatment prevented further tissue loss, but the patient had residual scarring.

This case report proposes that Post-Finasteride Syndrome might be sustained by specific microbes in the small intestine affecting hormone excretion and mitochondrial function, warranting further investigation in a larger cohort.

This article reviews the use of high-frequency ultrasonography to visualize nail units and scalps in dermatology, highlighting its potential benefits for disease assessment and treatment monitoring, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study involving a murine skin infection model, researchers found that the Trichophyton mentagrophytes strain TIMM 2789, specific to rodents, induced typical symptoms of superficial dermatophytosis, while revealing that the fungal gene SUB6 is not essential for virulence.

This case study reports that a combination of PUVA therapy and oral methyl prednisolone initially improved symptoms of a woman's cutaneous T-cell lymphoma but required ongoing treatment due to recurrence.

This study found that a microneedle array patch using a blend of kangfuxin, chitosan, and fucoidan significantly accelerated wound healing in rats by enhancing epithelial thickness and collagen deposition.

This study found that epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor accelerated proliferation of human hair bulb papilla cells and root sheath fibroblasts cultured in vitro.

This study analyzed dosimetric quantities in x-ray microbeam radiation therapy and found that the peak-to-valley dose ratio decreases with depth in the irradiated object.

In this study, penetration of FA-PLGA nanoparticles into hair follicles was observed in excised dog, rat, and porcine skin, with the deepest penetration in porcine skin, suggesting its similarity to human skin for drug delivery studies.

This study developed a stable, cosmetically appealing formulation for the topical delivery of the peptide FOL-005, enhancing skin permeation and maintaining stability by keeping the peptide solid and in a water-free environment with particle sizes under 10 µm.

This case study identified Trichophyton rubrum as the cause of trichophytia profunda acuta in a patient using nested PCR, suggesting an alternative diagnostic approach when KOH tests and cultures fail.

This study suggests that Merkel cell polyomavirus T antigen-positive cells resembling Merkel cell carcinoma may originate from epithelial cells in human hair follicles, potentially informing future transgenic mouse models for this cancer.

This study developed a highly sensitive fluorescent assay for measuring enzyme activity in single hair follicles, allowing the efficient analysis of over 100 samples per day.

This study found that the miR-140-y-TCF4 axis regulates the proliferation of goose embryonic dermal fibroblast cells by affecting the Wnt signaling pathway, highlighting its role as a dynamic regulator during skin and feather follicle development.

This study found that Malassezia restricta was more prevalent in patients with Malassezia folliculitis, suggesting a potential relationship between this species and the condition.

In this systematic review, the authors reported that both FUE and FUT hair transplant techniques induce oxidative stress and inflammation, impacting graft survival, but interventions like PRGF, CO2 laser, and dermal microtissues can enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and improve follicular survival.

This study describes a novel FUE device that may perform successfully across various patient scenarios, adapting to differences in skin firmness, thickness, and hair curliness.

In this study, synchrotron-powered infrared microscopy revealed that hair follicles are a favored penetration pathway for cyanophenol and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate in human skin, without altering protein secondary structure.

This study on androgenetic alopecia in mice introduced a novel therapy combining microneedle patches and cold atmospheric plasma to enhance minoxidil delivery, leading to improved hair regeneration by boosting vascular growth and reshaping the hair follicle microenvironment.

Flubendazole in a nanoemulsion can potentially treat lung cancer and cryptococcal meningitis effectively and safely.

In this study, miR-31 was found to play a significant role in hair cycle regulation in mice by controlling key gene expressions involved in hair growth and differentiation.

This article describes the follicular unit extraction method for hair transplantation, discussing its application, candidate selection, technique, outcomes, and the authors' experiences in over several hundred cases, without presenting new clinical results.
