This study reports that drug repurposing for COVID-19 has had mixed results, with success for some drugs but a lack of clinical efficacy for others, highlighting the need for improved preclinical profiling and a standardized drug development platform for future antiviral treatments.

This study suggests that the intestinal microbiota may have protective effects against celiac disease by degrading gluten and maintaining intestinal barrier integrity, but disruptions in the microbiota can exacerbate the disease.

This study analyzed skin biopsies from human monkeypox virus (hMPXV1) cases and found characteristic pustular stage features, including epidermal necrosis, shadow cell appearance, ballooned keratinocytes, and a dense inflammatory infiltrate, expanding histological knowledge crucial for understanding this disease and related Orthopoxvirus infections.

In this study, clinically used preoperative skin preparations with povidone iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate did not meet FDA log-reduction standards for bacterial bioburden in a porcine model, suggesting persistent infection risks.

This study suggests that both the sebum composition and microbial imbalance on the scalp may play a role in the development of androgenetic alopecia among Japanese males.

This study found that the scalp microbiome was more diverse in alopecia areata patients than in healthy controls, and distinctive microbial profiles may be linked to disease severity and prognosis.

In this review, the authors explore the complex interplay between COVID-19 and autoimmune skin diseases, finding that SARS-CoV-2 may trigger or worsen these conditions, with increased risks following infection and vaccination, particularly with mRNA vaccines.

This study suggests that the synthetic peptide SPIKENET (SPK) may protect against long-term skin alterations in mice following coronavirus infection, offering potential therapeutic intervention for similar effects in humans post-COVID-19.

This study suggests that Staphylococcus capitis ferment filtrate (SCFF) may promote hair growth and scalp health by modulating pathways related to hair loss, aging, and oxidative stress in vitro.

In a DNFB-induced mouse model of atopic dermatitis, this study found that both topical and oral formulations of the probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis J12 improved AD symptoms through distinct mechanisms, with topical applications reducing local inflammation and oral administration enhancing gut microbiota and reducing systemic inflammation.

In this study, researchers observed significant differences in hair follicle microbiome diversity and microbial composition between hair loss and healthy groups, uncovering specific patterns and functional changes associated with female pattern hair loss, which may aid future targeted approaches for androgenetic alopecia.

This study reports that different Armillaria species significantly affected both the yield and active compound content of Polyporus umbellatus sclerotia, with A541 achieving the highest results.

This study analyzed changes in the microbiota during antler velvet regeneration in sika deer and found significant differences in microbial community composition between 15 and 30 days post-pedicle casting, highlighting the potential roles of specific bacteria in wound healing and tissue regeneration.

This study reported that COVID-19 patients treated with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir had lower anti-spike IgG levels and different cytokine patterns compared to those not receiving antiviral treatment, suggesting early antiviral use may alter immune response by reducing viral load and antigen presentation.

In this study, researchers found that an antibacterial toner can penetrate keratin and sebum plugs and exhibits bactericidal effects against Cutibacterium acnes, as evidenced by a decrease in viable cell counts within artificial plugs inoculated with the bacteria.

This document reviews various types of microbes, their roles in fermentation and diseases, and strategies for protection against microbial infections, but presents no new research findings.

This article covers the classification and roles of various microbes, such as those involved in fermentations and environmental processes, but it does not provide new research results.

This narrative review discusses various microbes associated with fermentation and diseases in plants, animals, and humans, reporting no new research results.

This study demonstrated that antigens from the skin bacterium Staphylococcus epidermidis can stimulate CD8+ T cells, which in turn enhance wound healing.

This review summarizes recent research on the skin microbiome's role in acne development and how antibiotic treatments affect skin microbes, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Synechococcus elongatus PCC 11801 responded to increased CO2 concentrations by enhancing photosynthesis and carbon fixation while reducing other metabolic pathways, suggesting its potential for efficient CO2 capture.

This paper reviews symptoms, causes, and treatment strategies for common scalp conditions such as dandruff and psoriasis, but does not present new clinical findings.

Estrogen deficiency, like after menopause or certain surgeries, leads to faster skin aging and health issues.

In this study, dexpanthenol exhibited antiepileptic and antidepressant-like effects in mice without impacting their motor coordination.

This study found that supplementing soybean oil significantly increased the production of the cyclosporine A derivative [(4'-OH)MeLeu]4-CsA by 55.6%, offering potential enhancements for its clinical application.

This study found that restoring the skin microbiome significantly improved hair growth and skin condition in androgenic alopecia model mice by modulating the immune-inflammatory balance, highlighting the potential of bacterial-based therapies for hair loss.

Philippine stingless bee propolis may promote hair growth and fight cancer.

This review discusses the composition and role of the hair follicle microbiome in health and disease, highlighting that our understanding remains limited and stressing the need for more comprehensive studies.

This case report describes two siblings with gray patch tinea capitis, highlighting exposure to cats and inappropriate corticosteroid use as risk factors, and treatment with griseofulvin and terbinafine.

This study found that covalently binding antimicrobial agents to hair shafts provided antibacterial activity against dandruff and odor-associated bacteria, which remained effective even after several washes.
