This paper presents a new methodology combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy to study keratinocyte mechanobiology, but reports no experimental results yet.

This study observed that amelanotic melanocytes from human hair follicles appeared morphologically immature, suggesting they might not transfer melanosomes into keratinocytes.

This pilot study suggests that high-dose testosterone plus finasteride increased lower-extremity bone mineral density in men with impaired gait and low to low-normal testosterone following chronic incomplete spinal cord injury.

This study identified a small population of PAX3+/CD34+ cells in human foreskin tissue that may serve as transition cells between melanocyte stem cells and hair follicle stem cells, characterized by specific marker expressions.

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 review discusses the increasing reports of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a form of scarring alopecia, and its potential link to autoimmune disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrated that the FER/MLO signaling module regulates calcium dynamics and ROS accumulation in root hair growth, with the constitutively active MLO (faNTA) able to restore normal development and signaling in specific mutant genotypes, highlighting MLO15's role in root hair tip growth regulation.

This review explores the potential of topical minoxidil as a treatment for erectile dysfunction, indicating that while a mild erectile response was observed, evidence remains insufficient for confirmation.

This editorial response discusses the evidence for using 5-alpha reductase inhibitors in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, acknowledging its potential benefits while emphasizing the need for further studies to establish it as a standard treatment.

This study found that in C57BL/6 mice, treatment with fermented red ginseng marc, a traditional polyherb formula, or a combination of both, promoted hair growth by enhancing the hair-growth cycle.

Once-daily 5% minoxidil foam increases hair regrowth and density in women with hair loss, but not as effectively as twice-daily 2% minoxidil solution, though it's safer and more convenient.

This study observed that a novel extracellular matrix hydrogel made from human fibroblast-derived matrix improved wound healing in animal models, showing significant effects such as hair follicle formation, reduced inflammation, enhanced pro-healing growth factor levels, and interaction with macrophages, compared to traditional collagen hydrogels.

The researchers reported that both finasteride and PM-9 competitively inhibit the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme in P. crustosum broth.

In this study, researchers found that a propylene glycol-free and alcohol-reduced topical foam containing minoxidil and finasteride remained chemically, physically, and microbially stable for 180 days when stored properly at room temperature in light-resistant containers.

This study found that Florida manatees have unique types of specialized nerve endings in their vibrissae, which assist in their sensory and manipulative functions in aquatic environments.

This study found that two microRNAs, oar-miR-23b and oar-miR-133, inhibit the development of hair follicles in superfine wool sheep by targeting genes involved in key signaling pathways, suggesting their potential use as molecular markers for breeding fine wool sheep.

This study found that the fuzzy mutation in mice is linked to both structural hair defects and accelerated hair follicle cycling, influencing the regulation of hair cycle phases such as catagen and anagen.

In this study, researchers found that exosomes derived from Pinctada martensii mucus can effectively inhibit melanin production in melanoma cells and zebrafish without adverse effects, potentially offering a promising therapeutic strategy for treating pigmentary disorders by modulating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

5% minoxidil foam helps women with thinning hair.

In this study, combining 2% minoxidil with weekly microneedling significantly improved hair regrowth in women with female pattern hair loss compared to using minoxidil alone, with an 85% effective rate reported in the group receiving both treatments over a 24-week period.

This article reports a case of pseudofolliculitis barbae potentially induced by the use of oral minoxidil.

This case report describes an unusual trichofolliculoma in a 54-year-old man, notable for its prominent mucinosis, which is typically not as abundant in such tumors.

This study found that androgens decreased splenic macrophage FcgammaR expression and impaired the clearance of IgG-coated cells in an experimental guinea pig model.

This study used integrated single-cell chromatin and transcriptomic analyses in developing mouse skin to uncover gene networks involved in skin lineage specification and identified Mef2c+ upper fibroblasts as potential precursors to certain muscle-like structures, with cross-species findings in human skin.

This study found that patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome had more frequent skin symptoms and lower quality of life compared to controls, suggesting the need for a multidisciplinary treatment approach.

The commentary suggests that certain hair and skin care products may be linked to frontal fibrosing alopecia, but not sunscreens, and calls for more thorough research on the causes.

In a depilation mouse model, this study found that Limosilactobacillus fermentum MF10 promoted hair growth and increased follicle size by activating skin Wnt/β-catenin signaling and modulating gut microbiota, with effects comparable to the positive control finasteride.
