This study found that forehead feminization significantly contributes to recognizing female gender and reported that feminizing forehead cranioplasty is a safe procedure with a low complication rate.

This study identified a 69 bp deletion in the KRT75 gene as the cause of the frizzle feather trait in chickens, affecting feather curling.

This article reviews the diagnostic criteria and prevalence of PCOS, emphasizing its status as the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that newborn mouse skin organoids can robustly grow hair in vivo, while adult organoids require specific interventions to restore their hair-forming ability.

This study found that vertical sections of alopecia biopsy specimens had a higher concordance rate with the original combined diagnosis compared to transverse sections alone, although both methods have their pros and cons.

This article discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting its prevalence, potential genetic factors, and management challenges, but reports no new clinical conclusions and calls for further research.

This study found that dual 5α-reductase inhibition in rats led to decreased sperm motility and altered morphology, resulting in subfertility.

This study found that adipose-derived stem cells from HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy associated with HAART demonstrated similar growth and differentiation potential as those from HIV-uninfected patients, suggesting potential for autologous regenerative therapy.

This review discusses histologic findings in alopecia and emphasizes the importance of understanding normal follicular anatomy and cycles in transverse sections, without reporting new results.

This study found that CK15 is an unreliable marker for assessing bulge zone integrity in cicatricial alopecia follicles due to its altered expression in diseased conditions.

This study found that α-13′-carboxychromanol significantly accelerated wound healing and improved tissue quality in a mouse model, especially when delivered with bacterial nanocellulose under diabetic conditions.

This study reveals that β-catenin and retinoic acid are key regulators in the gene networks controlling the fate of skin appendages, such as scales and feathers.

In this study, the researchers optimized a method for culturing melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and found that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 significantly promotes their differentiation and melanin synthesis.

This review examines the trichoscopic characteristics of scalp DLE and LPP, correlating these findings with histopathological data, but provides no new clinical results.

This report discusses a case where pregnancy triggered the development of folliculitis decalvans, highlighting that systemic treatments are typically avoided during pregnancy in favor of topical medication.

This study found that diabetic individuals experienced significant changes in hair characteristics, including reduced thickness, strength, and altered growth cycle phases, correlated with poor glycaemic control and haematological variations compared to healthy controls.

This case report details a unique instance of pityriasis rubra pilaris affecting only the scalp, highlighting novel trichoscopic features and emphasizing the importance of recognizing this rare presentation for improved diagnosis and treatment.

In this study, researchers observed that even a single session of hair dyeing can damage hair fibers, with significant worsening of mechanical properties and protein composition after three or more consecutive treatments, emphasizing the need to consider the cumulative impacts of dyeing on hair health.

This study introduces a modular fiber model to investigate how changes in microstructural properties of wool affect its critical buckling load, highlighting potential uses and areas needing further research in wool fiber biophysics.

The document focused on hair disorders, especially alopecia, and discussed treatments and impacts on quality of life.

This study identified the distribution of keratin-associated proteins during cornification in the epidermis of reptiles, revealing unique structural characteristics in sauropsid keratin proteins compared to other vertebrates.

This study found that scanning electron microscopy revealed considerable abnormalities in hair morphology in MPS I, II, IIIA, and IIIB patients, potentially related to heparan sulfate accumulation.

This study suggests that the epidermis of monotremes and marsupials exhibits a more primitive pattern of protein distribution compared to eutherian mammals, with differences in loricrin distribution and keratinocyte maturation.

This study observed that developing mammary organs in Monodelphis domestica show mammary hairs in 12-week-old females, which disappear by 18 weeks, with findings suggesting shared characteristics between their nipples and eutherian nipples, supporting the evolutionary link between mammary glands and hair organs.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the need for firm diagnostic criteria.

This study observed that transverse sectioning of scalp biopsies may aid in diagnosing different types of alopecia by revealing distinct histopathological features like follicle miniaturization and specific inflammatory patterns.

This study found that a combination of photoprotector and nighttime formulations with essential oils improved skin barrier function and structural characteristics in young men's oily, acne-prone, and photoaged skin.

This study utilized magnetic resonance imaging to noninvasively visualize and differentiate skin structures in rat skin, finding a significant correlation between MRI data and histological areas.

This review covers the current status of the interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) category, pointing out the need for revision of its criteria to establish it as a standalone diagnostic term, but reports no new clinical findings.
