This review highlights the urgent need for increased research and policy support for autoimmune and immune-mediated skin diseases, which are on the rise and disproportionately affect women's health in the United States, suggesting a focus on gender and socioenvironmental factors.

This study found that oral cyclosporine therapy was more effective than betamethasone mini-pulse therapy for treating alopecia areata, with a better patient-reported outcome on hair regrowth, despite a higher incidence of mild, reversible adverse effects in the cyclosporine group.

In this study, ultraviolet irradiation and immersion in shampoo and hot water significantly reduced hair cortisol, illustrating a two-stage process of cortisol loss that may impact chronic stress assessment.

This study found that low temperature triggers root hair elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana through a FERONIA-ROP2-TORC signaling pathway, also activated by nitrogen deficiency.

This study found that light and sucrose have opposing effects on root length but collectively enhance root hair emergence and elongation in plant roots.

This study found that 42% of red yeast rice dietary supplements did not list monacolin concentrations on their labels, and only half of those that did contained the declared amounts.

In this study, researchers observed that acute stress increased levels of the enzyme 5αR2 in the medial prefrontal cortex of male rats, affecting stress reactivity, but this effect was not seen in females.

This study found that men born with very low birth weight had higher median serum estradiol levels but similar reproductive patterns compared to men born at term.

This study found that a keratin film made from human hair supports enhanced cell proliferation and viability compared to collagen I, suggesting potential for cell culture applications.

This study found that using an aqueous solution of AMPD in hair bleach reduced both hair damage and odor compared to ammonium hydroxide.

This study identified a subtype of itch-sensing neurons in mice, which express Ret and somatostatin, and found that their ablation reduces scratching induced by certain pruritogens.

In this study, researchers identified Tenascin-C as a marker for touch dome keratinocytes, which maintain themselves and can develop into Merkel cells following injury, showing they share molecular traits with various epidermal keratinocytes.

This study found that activating Toll-like receptor 3 in periodontal ligament stem cells enhanced their stem cell and immunosuppressive properties, potentially supporting effective periodontal tissue regeneration.

The authors concluded that for women with PCOS, the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting lockdown exacerbated existing challenges, particularly impacting their mental health due to restricted healthcare access and increased uncertainty.

This study found that women with PCOS who reported the highest levels of physical activity also reported better outcomes in BMI, mental health, and sleep quality, suggesting that enhancing motivation may improve participation in physical activity.
