This review discusses advances in understanding epidermal biology and pathology over the past two decades and highlights the significant progress yet acknowledges that much remains to be discovered; no new clinical results are reported.

This study suggests that acquired progressive kinking of hair, which typically appears at or after puberty, may be androgen dependent and could progress to male pattern baldness.

This study found that while systemic absorption of DHT from liposomes was negligible, the topical biological effect was weaker compared to DHT dissolved in acetone on the female hamster flank organ model.

This article investigates whether finasteride influences adult hippocampal neurogenesis related to depression and reports no new clinical findings; the authors suggest further research on its neurosteroid inhibition.

This article describes a rare case of syringolymphoid hyperplasia with alopecia and anhidrosis in a female patient, emphasizing challenges in diagnosis and treatment unresponsiveness despite the condition's link to mycosis fungoides.

This article reviews how various chemical agents affect human hair and skin, suggesting the need for more research on their pharmacologic and dermatologic effects; it does not report new experimental results.

In this study, topical 2% minoxidil did not significantly improve hair density measures in men with male pattern baldness, although there was no deterioration, suggesting a potential prophylactic effect.

This study developed a model using cardiovascular radiomics to estimate biological heart age, finding obesity and other health factors strongly correlated with accelerated heart aging.

This study describes various clinical phenotypes associated with FOXN1 mutations, finding that affected individuals may develop different severities of immunodeficiency based on their genetic mutations.

In this study on a murine model, researchers observed that a 5% minoxidil solution reduced stress-induced changes in hair growth, suggesting its potential for managing stress-related hair loss in humans.

This review discusses the influence of androgens and antiandrogens on acne, hirsutism, and androgenetic alopecia, focusing on antiandrogen treatments like cyproterone acetate, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that certain gene sets, including those involved in ligand-gated ion channel signaling and cell adhesion, are associated with Tourette syndrome, suggesting a potential neurobiological basis for the disorder.

This meta-analysis reported that platelet-rich plasma injections for androgenetic alopecia may increase hair number and thickness locally, but further studies are needed to establish their overall effectiveness.

This study found that in squamous cell carcinomas, the inhibition of the tumor-suppressor function of TAp73β by ΔNp63α occurs through promoter squelching, not direct protein interaction.

This study developed a kidney-specific knockout mouse model lacking the Flcn gene, which recapitulates human Birt-Hogg-Dubé kidney tumorigenesis and shows that mTOR pathway inhibition with rapamycin can suppress tumor growth.

This study found that male liver cirrhosis patients have higher estradiol levels and lower dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, leading to hormonal imbalances favoring estradiol, but without changing sex hormone-binding globulin's binding properties.

In this study, researchers concluded that hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets, characterized by specific mutations in the vitamin D receptor gene, may resolve metabolic abnormalities with age, though associated alopecia remains.

This article discusses hair loss linked to lithium treatment but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, VVF was found to be a highly variable and unreliable measure of void space in granular scaffolds, sensitive to various input parameters and less predictive than particle count.

In this study, researchers identified a novel congenital skin disorder in Chesapeake Bay retrievers, linked to a plakophilin-1 deficiency due to a genetic mutation, marking the first known occurrence in an animal species.

This study found that melatonin's effect on HaCaT keratinocyte proliferation varied with concentration and incubation time, with no cytotoxic effects observed at suitable concentrations for skin treatment.

In this study, daughters of women with PCOS and control daughters showed no significant differences in metabolic and hormonal parameters, but more PCOS daughters exhibited hirsutism at advanced pubertal stages.

This study established a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome due to a specific Crh mutation, which may help explore the effects of glucocorticoid excess and evaluate treatments for corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.

This case report describes white piedra infection of the scalp hair with a synergistic bacterial infection in two US native sisters, highlighting its relevance in diagnosing scalp hair concretions despite its rarity in North America.

This study found that the SVpgC2a keratinocyte cell line, used as a model for dysplastic epithelium, showed increased apoptosis, proliferation, and aberrant keratin expression compared to normal keratinocytes from buccal mucosa.
