In this study, researchers observed that inhibiting myosin light chain kinase in hair cells reduced stiffness and oscillation in bullfrog hair bundles and increased hearing thresholds in mice.

This article reviews the uses, mechanisms, and side effects of valproate in treating bipolar disorder, noting its first-line status for several manic conditions but also highlighting serious risks such as fetal abnormalities.

This article proposes criteria to differentiate between medicalization and over-medicalization, examining the consequences and ethical considerations of misidentifying medical issues, and suggests guideline questions to help draw clearer boundaries in medicine.

This article reviews the anatomical and physiological characteristics of African American hair and skin, discusses common disorders and their management, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this review, researchers summarize key factors in constructing skin organoids, including cell source and assembly methods, and emphasize advances such as air-liquid interface culture for improving tissue development, aiming to guide standardized protocols and future clinical applications.

This study reported that visceral massage improved skin elasticity and metabolic indicators such as glucose and lipid levels, suggesting its potential as a non-invasive method for enhancing skin health and systemic metabolism.

Different lab conditions and light treatment methods change how human skin cells respond to light therapy.

This study suggests that human keratin fiber matrix has a well-defined nano-scale grainy structure rather than being amorphous, with grain size influenced by chemical treatments, temperature, humidity, and follicle-level factors.

This study found that neonatal occipital alopecia was associated with maternal age, delivery method, and gestational age, supporting the view that it is a physiological condition rather than an acquired alopecia.

This symposium reviewed strategies to advance stalled drug molecules, discussed common regulatory hurdles, and explored options for repurposing drugs, but it reported no new research findings.

This scoping review suggests that physiological differences in skin structure may affect how individuals with different skin tones respond to pressure ulcer development, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention strategies.

This review discusses the physiological roles of anthrax toxin receptors CMG2 and TEM8, highlighting their influence on extracellular matrix homeostasis, angiogenesis, cell migration, and skin elasticity, and reports no new clinical results.

This paper explores how melatonin interacts with various magnetic fields, noting that it can enhance certain positive health effects or inhibit destructive processes, but may also exacerbate conditions like multiple sclerosis by intensifying inflammation.

This study suggests that changes in expressed transcripts and splice isoforms may explain the transition from curly to straight fleece in Chinese Tan sheep as they age.

This review discusses nitric oxide's physiological roles and the development of strategies for delivering it exogenously, without presenting new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that high hair cortisol levels, indicating stress in cows, were associated with certain shelter and cow-level conditions such as unclean environments and physical injuries.

This study found no significant difference in hair cortisol concentrations, a chronic stress indicator, between sows in farrowing crates and those in loose-housing systems.

In this study, topical application of a 10% minoxidil lotion on mature rats over 72 days was associated with reduced testis and epididymis mass and sperm motility, indicating potential gonadotoxic effects.

This study identified 12 potential candidate biomarkers associated with hair loss by analyzing the differential expression of genes, suggesting possible therapeutic targets for alopecia.

This systematic review reported positive outcomes with gender-affirming hormone therapy in Canada and emphasized the urgent need for standardized outcome measurement tools to enhance evidence-based practices.

This study suggests that biallelic loss of the Hedgehog signaling repressor Patched alone in Keratin 5+ epidermal cells is insufficient to drive basal cell carcinoma development unless exogenous stimuli trigger accumulation of BCC precursor cells.

This review highlights the potential of 3D bioprinting in developing functional, patient-specific artificial skin, addressing limitations of traditional skin grafts and advancing regenerative medicine applications.

In this study, the researchers used the dual-flow-RootChip to show that Arabidopsis roots can locally adapt their hair development in response to asymmetric phosphate conditions.

This study examined sheltered and adopted domestic cats, finding that dark coat color and living environment significantly influence hair cortisol and DHEA levels as stress indicators, while age and sex do not; adoption was associated with reduced long-term stress, underscoring its benefits for feline welfare.

This review summarizes recent research on the molecular properties and functions of L-PGDS and PGD2, but reports no new findings, highlighting their pathophysiological roles and guiding future studies.

In this study conducted at Afzalipour Hospital in Iran, researchers found a significant prevalence of alopecia, particularly resembling telogen effluvium, among COVID-19-recovered patients, with hair loss being more common in females and correlating with arterial oxygen saturation levels.

In this study, researchers reported no statistically significant association between hair cortisol levels and either perceived stress or objective neuroendocrine stress measures in a predominantly male participant group.

This article reviews the role of Platelet Rich Plasma in cosmetic dermatology and discusses a new method for storing PRP for personalized home use without reporting clinical outcomes.

This study found that hair cortisol concentration is a promising stress indicator in cattle but not in pigs, where external factors and lower cortisol response may interfere with its validity.

This study observed that high levels of immunoreactive cortisol in the tail hair of captive Asian elephants were often associated with stressful or distinct behavioral events, suggesting its potential for reconstructing their physiological history.
