This study suggests that Merkel cell polyomavirus T antigen-positive cells resembling Merkel cell carcinoma may originate from epithelial cells in human hair follicles, potentially informing future transgenic mouse models for this cancer.

In this study, a risk score was developed and validated to identify patients at high risk of clinical failure after femoropopliteal peripheral vascular intervention, aiming to guide the selection of patients who may benefit from paclitaxel-coated devices or alternative strategies.

This article presents a case of a seventeen-year-old female with dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis and emphasizes the importance of distinguishing its clinical features from other similar disorders, supported by dermoscopic and histopathological findings.

Tiger tail banding and hair abnormalities are reliable indicators for diagnosing trichothiodystrophy.

BPH treatment improved with personalized medicine, new drugs, and less invasive surgeries.

This study explains that while trichothiodystrophy and xeroderma pigmentosum share genetic defects, TTD patients primarily exhibit issues in transcription initiation, not the increased skin cancer risk seen in XP.

This review evaluates various cognitive-behavioral interventions for trichotillomania but does not report new clinical findings, highlighting the need for further research on their efficacy.

This study found that TSG-enriched Polygonum multiflorum extract, optimized through microwave-assisted and chromatographic methods, promotes hair regrowth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia via 5α-reductase inhibition and Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation, suggesting its potential as a natural treatment.

This study found that photodynamic therapy may offer a new option for removing nonpigmented hair, although it was less effective than diode laser for black hair in mice.

This study suggests that finasteride may inhibit the enzyme phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, which could contribute to its sexual and psychological side effects.

In this study, Paljeong-san pharmacopuncture reduced dihydrotestosterone levels and inhibited prostate tissue proliferation in a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Finasteride may help reduce symptoms in male Tourette syndrome patients.

This study found that the development of Merkel cell carcinoma from hair follicles in mice can be driven by in vivo reprogramming with ATOH1 and relies on p53 loss for progression.

This study reports a case of a 59-year-old female with refractory follicular mucinosis and diffuse scalp alopecia who achieved complete clinical remission following treatment with a combination of topical tacalcitol and photodynamic therapy.

In this report, an 18-year-old female with trichotillomania was successfully treated using the glutamate modulator n-acetylcysteine.

This study found that adult patients with Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 exhibited a higher prevalence of various morphofunctional, inflammatory, and proliferative skin disorders compared to healthy controls.

In this study, ginsenoside 20(S)-protopanaxadiol-aglycone (PPD) was shown to downregulate androgen receptor expression and inhibit tumor growth in prostate cancer cells.

This study observed that PCE-DP may improve skin pigmentation by increasing epidermal turnover and inhibiting melanin uptake and inflammation in human epidermal keratinocytes.

This study observed that Tudor-SN protein may play a significant role in the immune system and that polyamines can influence hair growth in a mouse model.

This review discusses the essential roles and complex regulation of PP2A in various physiological processes and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the need for further mouse model research to explore PP2A's therapeutic potential.

In this case study, an 18-year-old woman's triangular alopecic patch diagnosed as temporal triangular alopecia was considered non-progressive and had no impact on her quality of life, so no treatment was initiated.

In this study, photodynamic therapy was found to achieve permanent reduction of nonpigmented hair in mice, unlike an 800-nm diode laser, by targeting the hair matrix through repeated sessions.

This study found that precision 40Hz gamma-transcranial alternating current stimulation significantly improved negative and cognitive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia compared to a sham group, suggesting promising potential for this neuromodulation technique in treating these symptoms.

This review outlines current treatment strategies for trichotillomania, noting that while cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective, N-acetylcysteine and memantine are also recommended due to their safety and efficacy, though evidence for other drugs like fluoxetine and naltrexone remains limited.

In this study, Chinese children with central precocious puberty receiving 6-monthly injections of triptorelin showed luteinizing hormone suppression and slowed development of sexual characteristics over 12 months, without severe adverse events, suggesting it may be an effective treatment option for this population.

This review discusses recent advances in the pharmacological treatment of trichotillomania, highlighting potential benefits of glutamate-modulating agents, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the clinical phenotypes of primary mitochondrial cytopathies linked to significant genetic defects in mitochondrial DNA, reporting no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for differential diagnosis.

The researchers found that melatonin implantation in Cashmere goats influenced PDGFA gene expression and hair growth cycles, indicating it may control hair phase transformation from growth to catagen and telogen.

This study found that patients with BPH who received finasteride before TURP experienced reduced intraoperative blood loss and improved quality of life one month after surgery compared to those who did not.
