This study found that the Massachusetts General Hospital Hairpulling Scale has acceptable internal consistency and divergent validity for assessing Trichotillomania severity, but demonstrated inadequate test-retest reliability and mixed convergent validity.

In this self-controlled comparative study of 16 women with Female Pattern Hair Loss, MMP® with Minoxidil showed a better response in the parietal-vertex regions in less advanced cases compared to standard Minoxidil treatment, though overall effectiveness was similar.

In a cell-free test setting, this study found that a novel saw palmetto extract effectively inhibited the 5α-reductase type II enzyme, showing promising bioactivity comparable to finasteride for promoting prostate health.

This study found that the penetration enhancer SEPA™ significantly increased both the speed and amount of hair growth from minoxidil in balding stumptail macaques compared to Rogaine®.

This study suggests that BTP levels in cerebrospinal fluid might help diagnose CIDP and predict therapy response but require validation in larger cohorts.

This study found that biomimetic dermal papilla spheres cultured in a specific microenvironment can partially restore hair-inducing ability in high-passage dermal papilla cells in nude mice, resembling the characteristics of primary cells.

This study found that sensitive scalp is characterized by increased pH levels, redness, altered sebum composition, and a disrupted microbiome, suggesting these features could inform treatment approaches.

This study found that laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry can effectively reconstruct time-resolved mercury exposure in micrometer segments of a single hair strand from fish-eaters.

In this study, the novel thiol-Michael click perming molecule, MA2-CySS, achieved repeatable perming with reduced oxidative damage, preserving hair keratin's structure while maintaining efficiency comparable to traditional oxidative methods.

This study suggests that particulate matter can induce inflammation in human outer root sheath cells, potentially affecting hair growth, through oxidative stress-dependent MAPK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways.

This article reviews existing instruments for measuring emotional intelligence, comparing time-established and popular questionnaires, but it provides no new research findings.

This study suggests that MPZL3, a mitochondrially localized protein, may play an integral role in regulating hair follicle cycles, with potential therapeutic implications for hair growth disorders if findings translate to humans.

This review discusses the scalp microinfusion MMP® technique for hair loss treatment and reports no new results; it emphasizes the need for more standardized studies.

This study demonstrates that polarized second harmonic generation imaging effectively monitors wool fiber stretching, revealing significant structural changes in keratin alignment that improve textile performance.

In this study, higher levels of the sulfur-containing gas CH3SCH3, associated with oral malodor, were linked to MPB in elderly Japanese males, particularly when gastrointestinal and metabolic disorders were present.

This study investigated non-laser methods for removing permanent makeup using plant extracts, testing their decolorization effects on mice through tattooing and electroporation techniques.

This case report documents a rare presentation of congenital milia en plaque on the scalp of a five-year-old boy, with blaschkoid extension to the nuchal area, highlighting its uncommon location and onset.

This article introduces a new grading system called the FPHL Severity Index to better identify and monitor early stages of female pattern hair loss using clinical criteria.

In this study, topical application of α-methylspermidine during the telogen phase in mice induced hair growth by increasing the polyamine pool and mimicking the anagen phase's characteristics.

This study found that perceptions of scalp micropigmentation and awareness of its side effects vary significantly by gender and age, influencing attitudes and intentions toward the procedure.

This study found that Musashi-2 regulates mRNA targets to restrict epithelial cell migration, revealing a key function of Msi2 beyond its known role in promoting cell growth.

This study suggests that αMSH may play a regulatory role in human dermal papilla cells, potentially influencing immune and inflammatory responses in hair follicles, which could contribute to inflammatory alopecia.

This study found distinct hair metal profiles in Parkinson's disease patients, with lower iron and copper, higher manganese and arsenic, and explored their link to gut dysfunction and microbiota dysbiosis, suggesting hair metal analysis as a promising diagnostic tool.

This study found that neuroactive steroids, through their interaction with the sigma1 receptor, influence the acquisition of cocaine's rewarding effects in mice, suggesting a role in drug addiction vulnerability.

This study analyzed clinical manifestations in 18 dermatomyositis patients, noting that all exhibited skin rash and variable symptoms like itching and muscle weakness, with treatment involving prednisolone and hydroxychloroquine.

This study found that a two-staged screening method for identifying youth at high risk for psychosis in Telangana showed high concordant validity and good predictive validity for transition to psychosis.

This study found that insulin resistance varies across different PCOS phenotypes, with the PCOM+MI+HA phenotype showing higher resistance than others.

This study concluded that an endogenous circannual rhythm of prolactin secretion in mouflon influences their seasonal hair growth and moulting cycle, which varies under different photoperiodic and melatonin treatments.

This study found that MEGA PROTAC improved the prediction of ternary structures with higher maximum DockQ scores compared to the BOTCP method in 16 out of 22 test cases.

This case report described how peripheral nerve stimulation provided significant pain relief and reversal of dermatological symptoms for a female patient with complex regional pain syndrome after conventional treatments failed.
