This study finds that the images of soft-haired Kerr black holes show unique rotational, dilational, and drifting effects compared to bald black holes, linked to Noether charges and generalized symmetries.

This study reviews evidence that in keloid development, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) drives fibroblast proliferation and fibrosis not only through the classical Smad-dependent pathway but also via equally important Smad-independent signaling cascades, suggesting these pathways as possible targets for more effective keloid therapies.

This article discusses the widespread issue of zinc deficiency affecting plant, animal, and human health, and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for adequate zinc availability in agriculture and nutrition.

This study observed that unpigmented keratinocytes saturate quickly with foreign substance uptake compared to pigmented melanocytes, where melanin significantly enhances binding.

This study found that Origanum vulgare extract significantly ameliorated finasteride-induced liver and kidney damage in mice by improving biochemical indices, reducing inflammation, and enhancing antioxidant status in a dose-dependent manner.

This study found that minoxidil significantly increases VEGF mRNA and protein expression in dermal papilla cells, suggesting a role in enhancing hair follicle vascularization in androgenetic alopecia.

This study reports that 2-(1-Adamantyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-on-6-O-sulfamate is the most potent steroid sulfatase inhibitor identified so far, exhibiting 170-fold higher activity than the lead compound estrone sulfamate.

This study found that testosterone replacement, with or without finasteride, did not lead to significant cognitive improvements over 36 months in healthy older men without prior cognitive impairment.

This study found that dexamethasone significantly reduced ERα mRNA levels and increased aromatase mRNA and activity in cultured human hair follicle dermal papilla cells, suggesting a glucocorticoid-dependent mechanism for estradiol action.

This study found that overexpression of the transcription factor Tcf3 accelerates keratinocyte migration and skin wound healing in mice, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for wound repair.

This review discusses strategies to enhance mesenchymal stem cell therapy effectiveness but reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for improved consistency and efficacy in MSC-based treatments.

In this cell study, Eclipta alba extract inhibited cancer cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, showing potential antiproliferative and anti-metastasis effects on liver and related cancer cell lines.

Testosterone was found to inhibit hair follicle epithelial cell proliferation in adult stumptailed macaques only when dermal papilla cells from bald scalps were present, and this effect was reversed by the antiandrogen RU 58841.

This study found that all-trans and 9-cis retinoic acids increase steroid sulfatase activity in HL60 cells through mechanisms involving RARα/RXR heterodimers and multiple signaling pathways.

This study found that ethanolic leaves extract of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. exhibited strong antioxidant activity and enhanced wound healing properties in mice, showing reasonable safety in toxicological evaluations without severe alterations.

This study found that baicalin activates Wnt/ß-catenin signaling in human dermal papilla cells, increasing alkaline phosphatase expression, growth factor expression, and promoting hair growth in mice.

This study found that two new progesterone derivatives showed higher antiandrogenic effects and 5α-reductase inhibition than finasteride in hamsters, particularly reducing seminal vesicle weight and flank organ size.

This study indicates that innate lymphoid cells-type 1 may provoke alopecia areata by disrupting hair follicle immune privilege and inducing characteristic lesions, challenging the view that alopecia areata is purely an autoantigen-dependent, T cell-driven condition.

This study found that Annurca apple polyphenolic extracts reprogram hair follicle metabolism in mice, enhancing mitochondrial activity and keratin production while inhibiting some metabolic pathways.

This study found that treatment with vitamin D increased the expression of LL-37 through the vitamin D receptor in cultured sebocytes.

This study suggests that minoxidil is a potent stimulator of elastin expression in embryonic skin fibroblasts, primarily affecting elastin mRNA levels, without impacting cell proliferation during the stationary phase.

In this study, Wnt4 was identified as a key factor in cardiac repair, where its regulation in cardiac fibroblasts improved cardiac function and revascularization following ischemic reperfusion injury.

This review explores various substances with potential antiandrogenic effects for treating acne, highlighting evidence for isotretinoin, and discusses the future consideration of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors as antiandrogens.

This study found that diphlorethohydroxycarmalol significantly increased prostaglandin $E_2$ synthesis in HaCaT human keratinocytes by upregulating COX-1 and COX-2 expression, suggesting potential benefits from elevated $PGE_2$ production.

In this study, Epimedii Folium extract was found to enhance melanin production and promote pigmentation through mechanisms involving the MAPK/ERK1/2 pathway in both in vitro and in vivo models.

This study found that Ishige sinicola extract stimulated osteoblast differentiation and bone formation in MC3T3-E1 cells, suggesting potential use for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.

In this study, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and their conditioned medium significantly improved symptoms in mouse models of atopic dermatitis, potentially through exosome-dependent pathways, suggesting a cell-free therapeutic strategy.

This study found that using a bicomponent reduction system with TGA and DTDG for hair straightening limited hair damage by forming only thiol groups, while a TGA-only system formed more damaging mixed disulfide groups.

This study reviewed chitosan composites, specifically those with silver or zinc oxide nanoparticles, highlighting their enhanced antimicrobial efficacy and potential biomedical applications despite pure chitosan's limitations such as pH sensitivity and poor solubility.

This study found that Lactobacillus acidophilus cell-free supernatant caused significant cytotoxicity, reduced migratory ability, and induced apoptosis in cervical cancer cell lines, suggesting its potential as a non-toxic adjunct therapy for cervical cancer.
