This study found that Nubian ibex have developed genetic adaptations in response to their desert environment, including enhanced skin barrier, DNA repair, viral response, and metabolism of toxic compounds.

This study found that ethanolic and petroleum ether extracts of Cuscuta reflexa, as well as an isolate from these extracts, improved hair growth and follicle characteristics in androgen-induced alopecia in rats.

This article reviews advances in the histologic evaluation of alopecia and hair-related disorders, without presenting new clinical results.

This study found that nanoparticles did not permeate intact rat skin but could penetrate skin that had been artificially punctured, primarily through grooves or hair follicles.

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 study found that the developed Finasteride-loaded SMEDDS improved the relative bioavailability of the drug compared to a commercial tablet, offering a promising oral delivery system for glucosteroid analogs.

This study demonstrated that using morphometric and 3D reconstruction software to evaluate scalp biopsies in non-cicatricial alopecias may be feasible and sensitive for detecting subtle follicular changes.

The authors concluded that VSCAPSI, a videodermoscopy-based assessment tool, provides evidence for early diagnosis, differential diagnosis, follow-up, and screening of scalp psoriasis.

This study found that donor age and culture medium significantly impact the quality of human full-thickness skin models, with implications for their use as animal model alternatives in research.

This study found that grafting split-thickness human skin onto nude mice produces scars that mimic hypertrophic scar characteristics in humans, offering a useful model for studying scar formation and treatments.

This study found that human hair follicles demonstrated a dose-dependent response to light in an ex vivo photoepilation model, which could predict the clinical efficacy and permanency of light-based hair removal devices.

This study evaluated androgen-induced hair loss and anagen induction mouse models, finding that Minoxidil and Pyrilutamide significantly promoted hair growth by decreasing androgen receptor protein levels and enhancing the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway, supporting their use in studying novel treatments for androgenetic alopecia.

This case study reported a 15-year-old girl with a nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn, where a secondary neoplasm potentially developed into either pigmented trichoblastoma or pigmented basal cell carcinoma, highlighting the importance of early recognition and evaluation of such lesions for effective management.

This study reported that zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized using Tridax procumbens leaf extract demonstrated significant antibacterial and anticancer activity, showing potential for applications in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields.

This study highlights a comprehensive approach for authenticating and assessing the quality of herbal medicines using a combination of physiological, morphological, and molecular techniques, including HPTLC, ICP-MS, UV spectroscopy, and DNA barcoding, to ensure the standardization of herbal medicinal products, particularly Eclipta alba.

This review discusses the nutritional and therapeutic benefits of honey based on its botanical origin, and it reports no new clinical results, instead calling attention to its varied uses and potential health impacts.

This study found that the MXD/HP-β-CD GEL formulation promoted greater hair growth and improved gene expression related to hair growth in male rats compared to MXD solution or control groups.

In this preliminary study, selenium-resistant bacteria and selenium-treated pea sprout extracts showed minimal inhibitory effects on the dandruff-associated fungus Malassezia furfur compared to controls, suggesting potential for further investigation.

This study reported that phytosome formulations of citrus flavonoids naringenin and naringin showed significantly increased oral bioavailability and plasma drug concentration in rabbits, suggesting that phytosome technology effectively addresses the pharmacokinetic limitations of these compounds.

This study suggests that Acrotrema arnottianum, a herb used in traditional medicine, contains biologically active metabolites like squalene and α-Tocopherol. It showed antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus and antifungal properties against Candida albicans, while demonstrating antioxidant activity.

This study reported the successful development of finasteride-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles, with varying encapsulation efficiencies, aiming to enhance drug delivery for hair growth while minimizing side effects, and noted that an in vivo study will follow to assess efficacy.

This study found that finasteride-loaded liposomal formulations achieved significantly higher skin permeation and deposition compared to conventional gels and solutions, suggesting potential for effective topical application.

This study found that among women with PCOS, higher HOMA-IR levels were associated with acanthosis nigricans, and increased DHEA-SO4, FAI, and FI values were linked to hirsutism.

The document concludes that the trichogram is a useful tool for diagnosing hair loss and suggests semi-organ cultures for practical trichological research.

This study reported that platelet-rich plasma therapy significantly increased hair density and diameter in men with androgenetic alopecia by inducing morphological changes in hair follicles.

In this study, the authors evaluated 200 Egyptian children with focal non-cicatricial alopecia, finding that alopecia areata (42%) and tinea capitis (40.5%) were the most prevalent causes. Trichoscopy identified unique features for each condition, enhancing diagnosis and management.

This study found that while the KRTAP gene family is unique to mammals, humans have a similar number of these hair gene types as other primates despite having less body hair.

In this study, a hydro-alcoholic extract of Urtica dioica demonstrated in vitro antioxidant activity, potentially linked to its ferulic acid content.

This study used ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography to observe hair shaft structures, finding melanin granules absent only in white hair, which may explain color differences between black and white hair.

This study analyzed the molecular evolution and functional divergence of the Dkk gene family, finding accelerated evolution in Aves and Reptilia and identifying functional differences that may impact hair follicle development via Wnt signaling inhibition.
