This study revealed that deficiency in the enzyme FA2H in mice affected sebaceous gland function, altered sebum composition, and caused cycling alopecia, highlighting FA2H's role in hair follicle homeostasis.

This research indicates that KCED-1 and KCED-2 effectively induce adiponectin production in human subcutaneous fat, which may promote hair growth on the scalp.

This study observed that PAD type III and trichohyalin are expressed earlier than their deiminated form during the first and second hair cycles in rat hair follicles, indicating a potential additional factor is involved in triggering deimination.

This study quantified around 60 organic pollutants in hair samples from mothers and infants in Spain, finding significant correlations between pollutant levels and factors like residence, dietary habits, and maternal age, with common exposure sources identified for several pollutant classes.

This study found that alcoholic extracts of Blumea eriantha DC exhibited significant hair growth activity, primarily attributed to the phytoconstituent Dimethyl sulfone.

This review explores the potential health benefits of food bioactive compounds, specifically polyphenols, as preventive agents against non-communicable diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disorders, while also addressing challenges like bioavailability and industrial applications.

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.

This study identified specific gene expression profiles during the intestinal regeneration of sea cucumbers, highlighting potential novel genes and advancing the understanding of regenerative biology in echinoderms.

This study identified mutations in the STUB1 gene linked to hereditary cerebellar ataxia with cognitive impairment, revealing potential effects on protein function and patient symptoms, including accelerated aging.

This study identified several candidate genes related to wool production traits and adaptation to hot, arid environments in Iranian sheep, highlighting potential targets for future inbreeding programs.

This study suggests that patients with STSD show a different pattern in androgen activation compared to healthy controls, potentially due to increased 5α-reductase activity and absent prepubertal serum DHEA surge.

This study found that global PCOS prevalence in adolescents is 6.3% under new 2023 guideline criteria, compared to 9.8% using Rotterdam criteria; excluding PCOM may prevent over-diagnosis, while recognizing irregular cycles or hyperandrogenism helps avoid under-diagnosis by identifying at-risk individuals for further monitoring.

This study reported that tryptanthrin, a compound found in indigo naturalis, effectively suppresses non-melanoma skin cancer in mice by reducing inflammation, inhibiting cell proliferation, and blocking specific signaling pathways associated with tumor growth.

This review discusses the potential benefits of photobiomodulation for managing side effects of cancer therapy and provides specific guidelines for its use in supportive cancer care, without presenting new clinical results.

This review discusses the use of inorganic-based biomaterials for hemostasis and wound healing, including various preparation methods and mechanisms, but reports no new clinical results.

This study developed a method to convert fibroblasts into sweat gland-like cells, suggesting potential for regenerating damaged skin and restoring sweat gland function.

This study found that a lifestyle promotion program led to significant weight loss, waist reduction, and improved menstrual regularity and acne symptoms in adolescents with PCOS, while also promoting similar benefits in non-PCOS adolescents.

This study suggests that activating the PPARs/SHH-mitochondrial axis may enhance diabetic wound healing by improving endothelial cell metabolism and angiogenesis, indicating potential for PPAR agonists in treating diabetic foot ulcers.

This review found that current forensic DNA phenotyping panels for biogeographical ancestry and visible traits face significant limitations due to inconsistencies in terminology, genetic understanding, and genotyping technologies, highlighting the need for harmonization and further research.

This study demonstrated that an ethanol extract of Connarus semidecandrus Jack showed potential anti-androgenic alopecia effects in a testosterone-induced model, suggesting a possible treatment option for hair loss.

This review examines how incorporating various polymers and active ingredients into polyurethane dressings can enhance their properties and adaptability for better wound repair and regeneration, suggesting a promising direction for developing advanced functional dressings.

In this study, researchers investigated GAGs from the marine invertebrate Microcosmus exasperatus, finding that its polysaccharides possess antitumoral properties without affecting anticoagulant activity. The unique composition shows potential for cancer treatment when combined with existing therapies in future studies.

This narrative review explores the strong association between various chronic inflammatory skin diseases and metabolic syndrome, emphasizing shared inflammatory pathways and chemokine involvement, though the precise molecular connections remain partially understood.

In this study, researchers reported that hair follicle stem cells maintain quiescence through a PIEZO1-dependent mechanism that senses mechanical forces and translates them into localized calcium influx, involving a transcriptional network that regulates cell adhesion and cytoskeleton-related genes.

This study observed that among patients with PCOS, hirsutism was present in 75.63%, acne in 65%, and other skin conditions such as female pattern hair loss, acanthosis nigricans, and seborrhea in varying proportions, highlighting the dermatological impact of PCOS on patients' quality of life.

This study reports that Polyscias scutellaria exhibits diverse pharmacological activities, including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic properties, suggesting potential therapeutic uses in various health applications.

This article discusses the complex aetiology, diagnostic criteria, and challenges in diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome, but does not report new clinical findings.

The conclusions are: fecal short-chain fatty acids may help prevent cancer, fiber intake can reduce obesity, weight loss is hard for obese people, low BMI cancer patients are more prone to chemotherapy side effects, intermittent fasting benefits gut health, cherry laurel has health benefits in rats, certain gene variations can increase stress in hair loss patients, fecal acids can affect blood sugar levels, cold agglutinin can affect blood test results in autoimmune patients, and people with Crohn's disease have higher levels of a certain chemical in their blood.

This study found that ultraviolet A rays damage all hair types, with stronger adverse effects on colored and permanently waved hair, suggesting the use of sunblock products for hair protection.

This review posits that alopecia in PCOS results from the interaction between local follicular signaling failures, insulin resistance, inflammation, and genetic predispositions, rather than solely from androgen excess, and recommends a systems-level framework for its management.
