In this open-label study, 80% of participants with androgenetic alopecia showed improvement after taking the oral supplement Forti5® for 24 weeks, with significant increases in hair mass index and terminal hair count.

This study found that keratinocytes derived from the germinative epithelium of ovine hair follicles have extensive in vitro growth potential, challenging the idea that these cells are solely transit-amplifying.

This study found that cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was safe, well-tolerated, and induced mild feminizing changes, with more pronounced effects when combined with estrogens.

In this study, sodium valproate as monotherapy stopped seizures in 50% of epileptic children and was most effective in primary generalized and photosensitive epilepsies with notable side effects.

This study identified a new FAK isoform, FAKΔe4, which is regulated by ECM stiffness and affects cell migration, invasion, and mechanosensing in human-derived data and engineered models.

This randomized trial found that diode laser achieved more favorable long-term hair removal outcomes but induced more discomfort and transient adverse effects compared to intense pulsed light in women with Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV.

This review reports that lifestyle modification, including diet and exercise, is essential for managing PCOS, while pharmacological and complementary treatments address specific symptoms like menstrual irregularities and insulin resistance.

In this retrospective observational study, researchers found that the Dean Scale showed better diagnostic accuracy than the CTCAE scale for detecting clinician-reported therapeutic responses to minoxidil in patients with anticancer therapy-induced alopecia, but both scales had limitations in recording clinically significant hair regrowth.

This review explores the potential links between PRP treatments for hair loss and scalp skin cancer risk, finding current evidence supports PRP's safety but emphasizes the need for further studies and routine monitoring.

This source discusses how radiotherapy-induced skin fibrosis, a chronic side effect affecting cancer survivors' quality of life, is driven by ongoing inflammation and fibroblast activity, and emphasizes the need for comprehensive dermatologic management and better diagnostic tools.

In this study, Lrig1-positive stem cells in mouse hair follicles were found to be essential for sebaceous gland formation and maintenance, with their depletion causing a temporary loss of these glands and changes in cellular differentiation.

This review synthesizes information on isotretinoin’s systemic toxicity, emphasizing that its adverse effects, including mucocutaneous, hepatic, and musculoskeletal reactions, primarily reflect its pharmacodynamic actions and are generally manageable with individualized dosing and monitoring, though its teratogenicity remains a significant safety concern.

In this study, researchers engineered ventral skin organoids (vSkOs) with specific cellular compositions and signaling environments to generate human amnion-like tissues called Amnioids, offering new tools for studying human development and potential regenerative therapies.

This study observed that a 13-month-old cat experienced transient myocardial thickening and congestive heart failure episodes likely due to minoxidil intoxication, coinciding with contact with a family member using the drug, suggesting environmental exposure may trigger cardiac events in pets.

In a human genetic study on hidradenitis suppurativa, researchers identified 12 genetic risk loci and found that CXCR4-CD74 signaling may play a key role in hair follicle inflammation, suggesting CXCR4 blockade as a potential therapeutic approach for this condition.

This study concluded that there is a significant market potential for rosemary oil-based hair care products in Indonesia, though consumer education and market penetration remain challenges.

This review discusses the dermatologic side effects and potential therapeutic benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as facial fat loss and wound healing, emphasizing the need for further research.

This review addresses the complex process of reconstructing gunshot-induced facial injuries, highlighting advancements in composite tissue transplants and allografts that enhance plastic surgeons' ability to achieve optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes despite significant challenges.

Reducing neutrophils or inhibiting NETs improves wound healing in sickle cell disease.

Natural extracts like kombucha, marine enzymes, and prebiotics can improve and restore damaged skin.

This study reviews literature showing that trichotillomania significantly reduces quality of life and emphasizes that effective treatment requires an interdisciplinary approach involving dermatology and psychiatry to address its psychiatric component.

This study identified three new genetic loci linked to sweat gland density in a GWAS involving 6,210 Han Chinese individuals, highlighting potential targets for understanding conditions like anhidrosis and hyperhidrosis and emphasizing the use of quantitative traits in genetic dermatology research.

This study reported that captive muskoxen in Fairbanks, Alaska have significantly faster and variable guard hair growth rates compared to free-ranging Greenland muskoxen, indicating that a universal hair growth rate cannot be applied across different muskox populations or time periods.

In this study conducted at the University of Michigan Alopecia Clinic, survey respondents demonstrated high awareness (97.9%) of topical minoxidil for hair loss, with medical professionals being the most influential information source (34%). Concerns about usage included continuous application (46.8%) and skepticism about regrowth (29.8%).

This study reviews the barriers faced by Muslim women in accessing dermatological healthcare, emphasizing the need for cultural competency regarding their values and practices to improve care within this understudied area.

This study found that a blend of low- and high-molecular weight hyaluronic acid significantly improved penetration into the hair cortex compared to individual HA types, reducing frizz and increasing hair elasticity and water content, as measured by Confocal Raman Spectroscopy.

This meta-analysis found a significant positive association between frontal fibrosing alopecia and both sunscreen and moisturizer use, with the moisturizer association significant only in males.

This study reported that an injectable hydrogel microparticle vaccine platform enhanced antibody responses and protection against influenza in mice, outperforming the traditional adjuvant aluminum hydroxide.

This meta-analysis suggests a significant association between the use of facial sunscreen and moisturizer and frontal fibrosing alopecia, while finding no significant relationship with hair products or treatments.
