This open-label study found that oral tofacitinib led to significant hair regrowth in patients with moderate-to-severe alopecia areata, supported by changes in gene expression and T cell dynamics.

This study observed that in privately owned, intact cats, male cats exhibited significantly higher long-term hair cortisol concentrations compared to females, while environmental and behavioral factors did not significantly impact cortisol levels, suggesting individual traits may influence stress markers more than external factors.

This study found that cortisol levels, a biomarker of chronic stress, significantly increased in the post-COVID-19 lockdown period compared to pre-lockdown and during-lockdown periods, especially among females and young adults, reflecting sustained psychological stress from the pandemic.

This study suggests that potent topical corticosteroid occlusion may be a safe and effective treatment option for pediatric patients with severe alopecia areata, although further research is needed on its long-term safety and recurrence.

This review discusses the cornification process of epidermal keratinocytes in forming the skin barrier and reports no new results; it emphasizes the importance for diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders.

This study found that Sida cordifolia collected in Colombia is a good source of steroidal saponins, which may contribute to its antioxidant and antifungal properties.

In this study, no significant difference was found between the efficacy of betamethasone dipropionate cream and placebo in treating alopecia areata in children, regardless of atopic status.

This research reported that liposomal systems made from pig-derived skin lipids enhanced finasteride delivery to hair follicles for treating androgenetic alopecia, showing improved drug deposition, hair length, and growth compared to conventional finasteride forms in vitro.

In this study, university students given open-label placebo treatment reported reduced psychological distress and lower hair cortisol concentrations during stressful exams, suggesting that these placebos may help manage the physiological and psychological impacts of prolonged stress.

In this study, researchers found a positive correlation between trichoscopic features and histomorphological findings, supporting trichoscopy as a valuable tool for assessing androgenetic alopecia severity and monitoring treatment outcomes.

This review discusses the potential of umbilical cord blood and umbilical cord-derived stem cells in treating various chronic diseases by highlighting their regenerative abilities and ethical advantages as well as the translational challenges and clinical implications.

This study reviewed evidence suggesting that systemic corticosteroids, particularly in pulse regimens like dexamethasone and betamethasone oral mini-pulse, effectively slow vitiligo progression and support repigmentation, while offering a favorable safety profile compared to continuous therapy.

This study found that Limelight (CB-EVs) exosomes significantly promoted hair elongation ex vivo without cytotoxicity, suggesting potential as a safe and effective hair growth therapy.

This study found evidence for a genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome, indicating an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance among first-degree relatives.

This study highlights a chronic case of hair fall in a female patient managed with constitutional homeopathy, lifestyle changes, and nutritional supplements, suggesting that individualized and integrative approaches can effectively improve conditions like hair loss.

In this analysis, the authors examine how hairdressing techniques like thinning and micro-graduation can correct women's hairlines by softening optical contours and enhancing visual symmetry, emphasizing the relevance of individual factors such as morphology and stylistic expectations in selecting these non-medical approaches.

This study found that serum cystatin C levels may be elevated in adolescent females with PCOS, suggesting it could serve as a predictive marker for metabolic and cardiovascular issues independent of renal function.

This study on women aged 18–40 with polycystic ovary syndrome reported that a three-month treatment involving dietary changes, oral contraceptives, fertility drugs, and supplements significantly improved ovulation, menstrual regularity, BMI, and reduced hirsutism, acne, and certain immune factors compared to pre-treatment and control groups.

This study observed that recurrent alopecia areata patients with salmon patches on the nape often had severe disease, particularly alopecia areata ophiasis, which was more common in females.

This study reported three cases of tinea corporis caused by Microsporum canis in a household, linked to a domestic cat, where genetic analysis suggested a familial transmission route.

This source discusses using stratum corneum ablation as a promising method to enhance transdermal drug delivery by temporarily removing the skin's outermost barrier to improve medication absorption.

In this review, researchers reported that Psoralea corylifolia, extensively used in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, exhibits various pharmacological activities, including antioxidant and antidiabetic effects, and is primarily used for treating skin diseases. The authors suggest further clinical trials to explore its therapeutic potential.

This study found that in South Asian women with PCOS, the severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is strongly linked to early renal dysfunction, as indicated by increased serum creatinine and urinary albumin levels, and reduced eGFR.

This review discusses recent findings on how root hairs and root exudate secretion play critical roles in recruiting nitrogen-fixing bacteria, potentially aiding the development of cereal crops that can use atmospheric nitrogen, which may reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

In this study, the researchers found no superiority of combining 308-nm excimer laser with intralesional corticosteroid over corticosteroid alone for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, and reported side effects such as erythema and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation in both treatment groups.

This study found a very strong positive correlation between sebum levels and the severity of androgenetic alopecia in men.

This analysis explores possible causes of menstrual irregularities in women with PCOS following COVID-19, but reports no new clinical findings.
