This review discusses the occurrence of persistent sexual, physical, neurological, and psychiatric side effects known as post-finasteride syndrome after 5x-reductase inhibitor treatment, and emphasizes the importance of evaluating these risks for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia or androgenic alopecia.

This study found that while the combination of oral propranolol and intradermal injections in guinea pigs led to psoriasiform changes, it did not fully mimic psoriasis.

This study found that 10% carbamide peroxide significantly reduced acne lesions compared to a vehicle solution, suggesting it as an effective and safe alternative to benzoyl peroxide for treating mild to moderate acne.

In this study of pediatric melanocytic lesions, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital observed no concurrent BAP1 loss and BRAFV600E positivity, characteristics of adult BIMT, suggesting that these tumors may develop at a later age rather than in childhood.

This study identified a novel missense MAFB variant in a family with some unaffected members, suggesting incomplete penetrance and the potential influence of modifier genes, epigenetic mechanisms, or environmental factors on MCTO phenotype.

In this case report, a 68-year-old Caucasian woman with Brunsting-Perry pemphigoid experienced scarring alopecia, which was effectively managed using intralesional betamethasone and topical mometasone furoate, suggesting this rare condition may be underdiagnosed in scarring alopecia cases.

This study found that intradermal injections of autologous cell-free fat extract significantly improved the condition of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation patients, with high patient satisfaction and minimal adverse effects.

In this randomized double-blind study, 160 adults with alopecia areata showed significant improvements in hair loss severity after using a bioactive peptide cosmetic product that mimics platelet-rich plasma, while the placebo group showed no significant change, underlining the treatment's potential effectiveness.

A 5-year-old girl with a rare skin disorder was effectively treated with skin creams instead of oral medication.

This study found that RADA-PRG hydrogels enhanced skin-derived precursor cell proliferation and improved hair follicle neogenesis in mice, suggesting potential use as a scaffold material in tissue engineering.

In this study, Bacillus subtilis strain ALC_02 was observed to enhance phosphorus acquisition in phosphorus-limited dwarf tomato plants by promoting root and root hair growth, with potential implications for developing effective bacterial P biofertilizers.

This study suggests that the Grasp protein may play a role in regulating skin homeostasis following UVB exposure by influencing p53-mediated apoptotic responses in mice.

This study found that platelet dry powder can be mass-produced from pig blood by adding calcium chloride, resulting in a stable material with high growth factor concentrations, which could enhance supply for industrial product development.

This case study reported a 49-year-old woman with metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma who experienced an abscopal effect after pulse electric field ablation, leading to the resolution of three untreated liver lesions, suggesting potential benefits of this treatment combined with immunotherapy.

This case report describes a rare co-existence of Becker nevus and plexiform neurofibroma in a child with genetically confirmed neurofibromatosis type 1, offering insights into the potential cellular and molecular links between these lesions.

This review discusses the role of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) in oral and maxillofacial surgery, highlighting its potential benefits for healing, pain relief, and graft integration, with a need for more clinical trials to confirm long-term effects.

This study reports that Broussonetia papyrifera extract significantly increased hair count over 12 weeks in a small clinical trial and promoted dermal papilla cell proliferation in vitro by regulating WNT-β-catenin and STAT6 pathways.

In this study, bezafibrate treatment improved certain aging-like features in a mouse model with mitochondrial dysfunction, but did not enhance muscle function or lifespan.

In this study, HPH-15, a newly synthesized compound, demonstrated potential in reducing skin fibrosis in a mouse model by targeting underlying pathogenic mechanisms and exhibited a good safety profile, warranting further clinical trials for fibrotic skin disorders like systemic sclerosis.

This study found that growth factor concentrate provides quicker improvements for patterned hair loss, but platelet-rich plasma offers more sustained benefits after treatment.

PRP preparation partially activates platelets, causing varied growth factor release.

In this study, a polyphenol and biotin supplement improved skin roughness and significantly reduced hair shedding, but did not demonstrate clear superiority over placebo in overall skin outcomes.

This study found that an extract treatment showed similar efficacy and tolerability to calcipotriol/betamethasone ointment in reducing psoriasis severity and symptoms over 28 days in patients with mild-to-moderate plaque psoriasis.

This study investigated a nanostructured system using PS-b-PAA diblock copolymer for incorporating the hydrophobic photosensitizer ClAlPc, finding it effective in causing cellular damage in Caco-2 cells under light while demonstrating no cytotoxicity without light, suggesting its potential use in photodynamic therapy.

Using finasteride with TIP extends time off period for prostate cancer patients.

This study observed that proretinal nanoparticles delivered significantly higher concentrations of retinal to the stratum corneum and hair follicles compared to non-particulate forms, potentially improving topical retinoid therapy.

This review article identifies a need for standardized guidelines in using photobiomodulation therapy for spinal cord injury repair, emphasizing that current inconsistencies in therapy parameters may hinder optimal outcomes and limit clinical trials.

This study found that adding topical eflornithine to hair laser treatment significantly reduced hair counts and inflammatory papules more effectively than laser therapy alone in treating pseudofolliculitis barbae.

This case report details a 57-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia who developed hyperpigmentation after treatment with dutasteride and pimecrolimus, highlighting no previously reported hyperpigmentation association with this combination.

This study found that BBS7 downregulation in occlusal hypofunctional PDL affects Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, impacting PDL homeostasis.
