Hair movement can indicate hair quality and health.

This study found that FM dyes are effective markers for tracing live Merkel cells in in vitro experiments, as they remain visible for at least seven days and highlight cell shape better than quinacrine.

Minoxidil may help facial hair grow, but more research is needed.

Activin A and Follistatin affect how mouse hair follicles grow.

This study found that postmortem root banding in hair is likely due to the degradation of the intermacrofibrillar matrix in the cortex, with no damage to the cuticle observed.

This review summarizes the adverse effects associated with 5α‐reductase inhibitors, noting slightly increased rates of decreased libido, erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction, gynecomastia, depression, and anxiety, with further studies needed to explore symptom prevalence and persistence.

This review outlines chlormadinone acetate's contraceptive and non-contraceptive applications but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing its potential in treating dysmenorrhea and androgen-related conditions.

This study reports that familial frontal fibrosing alopecia was diagnosed earlier in premenopausal women compared to postmenopausal women, though long-term outcomes remain uncertain without a definitive treatment.

This article discusses the pseudo 'fringe sign' in frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting that it is not solely related to traction, and it reports no new clinical results.

This study in Asian females found that higher use of moisturizers and sunscreen among FFA patients may reflect appearance concerns rather than indicating a direct link to the disease mechanism.

This study used fibre optic confocal imaging to visualize subsurface structures in live mouse skin, revealing cellular details and blood vessel networks that dynamic events could be studied in vivo.

This paper reviews the evolution and classification of forehead reduction and orbital contouring techniques in transgender females, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, the researchers observed that treatment with intralesional and topical corticosteroids, finasteride, and minoxidil may stop the progression of frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal and premenopausal women.

Finasteride may cause serious muscle-related side effects.

This case report details a 61-year-old Afro-Caribbean man with pseudofolliculitis barbae induced by oral minoxidil.

This case study reports a 22-year-old homosexual man coinfected with secondary syphilis, condyloma acuminata, and HIV, highlighting the coexistence and increased STI risks associated with HIV and HPV infection.

This study found that stem cell factor combined with fibronectin and type IV collagen promotes migration of amelanotic melanocytes, which may help explain their movement during vitiligo repigmentation.

This review discusses the evolving understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia as a generalized skin condition with diverse manifestations, and reports no new clinical results.

This dissertation examines how The Body Politic newspaper shaped and challenged concepts of gay male masculinity and identity in Toronto's gay community from 1971 to 1987.

This study identified FP-1 as a highly specific extracellular matrix protein in follicular papilla cells, which may play a role in hair growth regulation during specific hair cycle phases.

This study developed a spring-driven microneedle booster that improved early and cumulative delivery of minoxidil, accelerating hair regrowth compared to traditional roller methods in an androgenetic alopecia model.

The researchers investigated the phytochemical content and pharmacological properties of Fissistigma oldhamii and found multiple compounds, primarily in roots and stems, that may contribute to the plant's traditional anti-inflammatory uses in China, including potential antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial effects.

This chapter reviews the potential role of gonadal hormones in sex differences in play and spatial behavior, noting a lack of conclusive evidence but suggesting perinatal androgen exposure might contribute to observed differences. It reports no new research results.

This pilot study explored a new method using laser-capture microdissection and 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze the human scalp hair follicle microbiome more accurately, revealing region-specific variations in microbial diversity and abundance.

This study found that conditional deletion of Mof in mice resulted in severe defects in skin development, including compromised epidermal differentiation and hair growth, leading to perinatal lethality.

This review discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of male androgenetic alopecia, noting that combination treatments, including FDA-approved and emerging therapies, may improve outcomes without added side effects.
