This case report documents a 59-year-old man in Taiwan who developed breast cancer while undergoing finasteride therapy for benign prostate hyperplasia, marking a rare side effect.

This study focused on equine sarcoid, the most common tumor in horses, and described its types, clinical signs, and histopathological characteristics such as hyperkeratosis and changes in the hair follicle and dermis.

In this study, a child's diagnosis of Silver-Russell syndrome was confirmed through phenotype data, genetic testing, and the exclusion of other developmental conditions, revealing a need for a multidisciplinary care approach.

This study from the State Institute of Otolaryngology in Kiev reports that a comprehensive and targeted approach to treat sensorineural hearing loss caused by combat acoustic trauma was effective in 89.7% of cases.

This case study highlights a 38-year-old woman with lichen planopilaris experiencing gingival hypertrophy linked to high serum cyclosporine levels and relevant dosage, which improved after reducing the cyclosporine dose.

This article describes a case of pilomatricoma in a 22-year-old male with successful surgical excision and no recurrence, highlighting its histopathological features and typical clinical presentation.

This article critiques the limited clinical applicability of recognizing catagen in hair cycle studies, emphasizing its importance in histologic diagnosis and the continuum with telogen effluvium.

This review discusses various types of microneedles and their potential to expand the range of drugs delivered via the skin, but reports no new clinical results.

This thesis explores how optical coherence tomography and advanced imaging methods may address clinical needs in fields like interventional pulmonology and dermatology, highlighting their potential for disease assessment and staging.

This study found that low fluence photoepilation with intense pulsed light targets the pigmented area of hair follicles, causing temporary hair loss by inducing a catagen-like state without severe follicle damage.

This study found that activation or inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin and Notch signaling pathways in rats can alter wound healing, possibly by affecting epidermal stem cell activity and keratinocyte behavior.

This case report describes a newly identified condition called loose anagen hair of childhood, characterized by easily pluckable hair in two young boys, with variable duration and no scalp inflammation or scarring.

This study found that drug delivery through human scalp skin may be more effective for lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs compared to abdominal skin, highlighting the potential of intrafollicular delivery methods.

This paper discusses the role of Malassezia yeast and inflammation in dandruff and highlights the potential of anti-inflammatory antidandruff formulations to improve scalp conditions and hair cycle disturbances; it presents no new experimental results.

This study found that premature hair loss due to stress does not occur in NK-1 receptor knockout or mast cell deficient mice, suggesting a key role for neurokinin substance P and mast cell interaction in stress-related hair follicle changes.

This study reports that plasma rich in growth factors appeared to improve hair follicle regeneration and patient satisfaction in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, though further trials are needed.

This article examines various types of childhood alopecia and highlights the importance of identifying chronic conditions or those linked to underlying medical issues, but reports no new results.

This study observed morphological changes in scalp hair follicles of humans deprived of protein for 15 days, which suggests potential use in diagnosing protein-calorie malnutrition.

This article reviews how various drugs may cause hair loss, stimulate growth, or alter hair characteristics, but reports no new clinical results; drug-induced hair loss is typically reversible.

This study reports that hypomorphic alleles of the Ass1 gene in mice resemble human CTLN1, providing a potential model for preclinical studies and indicating that standard treatments for CTLN1 can rescue phenotypes.

In this mouse study, researchers found that hydrogen peroxide and monoethanolamine in hair dyes may be key contributors to dermatitis and hair loss due to oxidative stress.

This study investigated the histopathology of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome, identifying specific skin and hair abnormalities associated with PKP1 gene mutations in two young female patients.

In this study, researchers identified a novel congenital skin disorder in Chesapeake Bay retrievers, linked to a plakophilin-1 deficiency due to a genetic mutation, marking the first known occurrence in an animal species.

In this study, the herbal complex of Houttuynia cordata, Perilla frutescens var. acuta, and green tea promoted hair growth in C57BL/6 mice, enhancing regrowth and follicle development compared to controls.

This study found that topical minoxidil 5% gel and spironolactone 1% gel were both effective treatments for androgenetic alopecia, with a combination of both providing the best clinical response and achieving 100% effectiveness among participants.

This article reviews common hair disorders and their normal anatomy and life cycle, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that hydro-alcoholic Eclipta alba extract may have anticancer and multidrug resistance-reversal effects in animal models, suggesting potential as an adjunctive agent in tumor chemotherapy.

Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.

This study found that Celsr1, not Celsr2, is the primary protein involved in establishing planar cell polarity and hair follicle polarization in the epidermis of mice.
