This study confirms an association between TNF-α antagonist exposure and alopecia, indicating a class effect among the medications examined.

Adalimumab improved folliculitis decalvans in most patients.

This study identified multiple factors affecting the severity of alopecia areata, suggesting they could inform a tool for measuring disease impact and guide treatment selection.

This article discusses how the balding scalp's exposure to UV and near-infrared light may accelerate aging, with changes detectable under ultraviolet light; it presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that the MsPG3-GFP fusion protein accumulates at the growing root hair tips in Medicago plants, suggesting its role in tip growth during symbiosis.

This study found that two pre-Hispanic mummies from the Andean coast had well-preserved hair with significant amounts of heavy metals like iron, lead, bromide, and occasionally arsenic, revealing their historical context.

This narrative review explores the molecular mechanisms driving skin development and their role in skin diseases, emphasizing how disruptions in these pathways can lead to conditions like congenital disorders and cancers, potentially guiding new targeted therapies.

In this publication, a collaborative group reviewed the role of dermocosmetics in cancer care and formulated recommendations for using these products to manage skin toxicities and minimize treatment interruptions associated with cancer therapies.

This study concluded that standard decontamination procedures do not fully remove external contamination from post mortem hair specimens, which complicates using hair analysis to assess long-term drug exposure.

This study reports that hair analysis could potentially monitor metformin use in diabetic patients, suggesting a possible correlation between daily dose and concentration in dark hair but not in light hair.

This study identified certain benzopyran derivatives with a bulky tert-butyloxycarbonylamino group as effective KATP channel openers that inhibit insulin secretion in rat pancreatic islets.

This study developed and validated a method using hair samples to simultaneously detect bisphenols and parabens, enabling the quantification of these endocrine disruptors in a hospital population’s hair.

This study tested the feasibility of using multimodal recruitment strategies to assemble a diverse group of 438 women for a web-based survey on ovulation and menstruation health, finding that internet and community fair methods achieved higher enrollment and completion rates compared to clinic recruitment.

This study found that a daily dose of 50 mg DHEA only slightly increased the urinary testosterone/epitestosterone ratio for a short period, without exceeding the IOC's acceptable limit.

This study describes the epidemiologic, clinical, and etiologic characteristics of alopecia among patients at a dermatology service, identifying tinea and alopecia areata as the most common causes.

This article compares modern hair restoration techniques for androgenic alopecia, focusing on procedure times, labor, and costs, but it does not provide new clinical findings.

Reduced androgens linked to kinky hair disorder and hair loss; 5a-reductase inhibitors may help.

This study demonstrated that mice lacking skin-specific RXRalpha expression developed hair follicle degeneration and alopecia, indicating the importance of RXRalpha/VDR heterodimers in maintaining hair follicle homeostasis.

This review summarizes the characteristics of the peri-malignant melanoma stroma, indicating its potential role in early dermal metastatic migration and increased metastasis risk.

This review examines the complex mechanisms that regulate skin stem cell development, activation, and differentiation, emphasizing the molecular signaling pathways that influence their fate and contribute to skin homeostasis.

Using Selenium Disulfide shampoo weekly helps prevent scalp dermatitis flare-ups.

This study reports two cases of fatal metformin intoxication with hair concentrations significantly higher than those in subjects under treatment, marking the first use of hair analysis for such cases.

This study found that hair samples from chronic tramadol and cannabis users showed positive drug presence for 3-4 months and 6-7 months, respectively, after discontinuation.

This study developed a new proteomic method to identify and assess ancient hair proteins using only small amounts of sample, providing insights into hair protein alteration processes over time.

The authors observed that the patterned melanoderma on the hairless scalp of fair-skinned Caucasian men with androgenic alopecia resembled similar patterns seen on facial skin.

In this study, researchers found that a composition containing mannose-6-phosphate significantly reduced the total skin pore area by 24% in women after 56 days and by 30.2% in men after 7 days, suggesting its effectiveness in improving pore appearance by targeting dermal and epidermal modifications.

In this study, researchers found that the glabrous skin of the rat forelimb contains sparse Meissner corpuscles and Merkel complexes, with more slowly adapting afferents in the palm and rapidly adapting afferents in the digit extremity.

This study found that several newly synthesized dihydrobenzopyran compounds inhibited insulin secretion and had vasorelaxant activity, with some more potent than reference KATP channel activators, though compound 21 functioned as a Ca2+ entry blocker.

This study observed a slight improvement in hair density in men with androgenetic alopecia treated with autologous platelet rich plasma, but only two cases showed cosmetic improvement.

Cinainu is effective and safe for treating children's alopecia areata.
