This study found that rice bran ash extract enhanced melanin biosynthesis-related protein expression in a 3D hair follicle-like tissue model and hair follicle organ culture, suggesting potential for future research in melanogenesis.

This study found that two short peptides derived from pigment epithelium-derived factor significantly accelerated full-thickness skin wound healing in mice through mechanisms that may involve increased cell proliferation and stem cell mobilization.

This article reviews the use of pigmented concealing powders as a viable cosmetic option for patients with alopecia, noting the potential for a more natural appearance compared to traditional hairstyling or hairpieces, but it presents no new clinical results.

This case report describes the first documented occurrence of pili torti in a healthy young adult cat, marked by noninflammatory and nonpruritic symmetrical multifocal alopecia.

A new gene mutation may allow some piebaldism patients to regain skin color in white patches.

This article discusses the roles of different proteins in melanogenesis and proposes a hypothesis to explain the diversity of human hair pigmentation, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study observed that PCR-based genotyping for cre-loxP mice can lead to errors due to cre-mediated recombination in non-target tissues like tails, affecting the detection of lox alleles.

This study found that Piedraia hortae invades and damages human hair by slowly degrading keratin in the cortex, which may contribute to the fungus's persistence and the chronic nature of the infection.

This review examines skin diseases affecting the pinna of dogs and cats, highlighting those unique to this area and noting its role as a common initial site for several conditions; it reports no new results.

This report describes a rare scalp condition in children with features similar to tinea capitis but shows negative fungal cultures, and suggests possible slow improvement with griseofulvin in two cases.

This study found that combining pulsed dye laser with pingyangmycin improved treatment efficacy, scar repair, skin condition, and patient satisfaction in treating post-acne hyperplastic scars, compared to laser alone, without increasing adverse reactions.

This study found that activating SHH signaling in EPCs enhances angiogenesis to aid in healing pressure ulcers through the PI3K/AKT/eNOS pathway, indicating SHH signaling as a potential target for treatment.

This study reports that the side population technique can isolate melanocyte stem cells from human hair follicles, potentially allowing them to be used for skin pigmentation repopulation.

This study observed that piperonylic acid activated key signaling pathways in dermal papilla cells and increased hair growth markers, and a clinical trial showed users of a piperonylic acid formulation had more hair than those using a placebo, suggesting its potential for treating hair loss.

This study found that a gluconolactone-based shampoo and lotion significantly reduced skin scaling in golden retrievers with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis.

This case report describes two patients who experienced loose anagen hairs and pili torti, resulting in nonscarring alopecia, potentially linked to erlotinib treatment for solid tumors.

In this study, topical phenylephrine significantly reduced hair shedding and increased the force needed to pluck hair in women undergoing cosmetic procedures, suggesting its potential utility for traction alopecia.

This case report describes an ossifying pilomatrixoma found in a 15-year-old girl, confirmed via histopathological examination after imaging indicated a subcutaneous mass on her cheek.

This study found that pigmented hair-thickening fibers improved the appearance of scalp alopecia in patients with epidermolysis bullosa, although they may cause pruritus and should be used cautiously.

This case report details how a 9-month-old girl's generalized hypertrichosis developed following exposure to 5% topical minoxidil via her grandfather's use, which resolved after removing the exposure.

The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.

This review discusses the endoscopic forehead midface lift, highlighting its potential benefits and complications, and emphasizes adopting strategies to safely and effectively minimize risks.

This study reported that 19 out of 29 examined individuals from a family spanning seven generations exhibited the distinctive symptoms of hypotrichosis congenita hereditaria Marie Unna type.

In his letter, the author reports that regular corticosteroid and corticotropin therapy was associated with hair growth and the return of pigment in patients with alopecia totalis.

This study identified peripheral myeloid cells as the earliest dysregulated immune cells in PINK1 KO mice with Parkinson’s-like symptoms following intestinal infections, suggesting that PINK1 regulates gut immune functions linked to early Parkinson’s disease mechanisms.

This study found that extracts from Hom Thong banana peels, rich in phenolic compounds, may inhibit melanin production in human and mouse melanoma cells, showing potential as anti-melanogenic agents comparable to standard treatments like arbutin and kojic acid.

This study reports that Mohs micrographic surgery resulted in no recurrences of pilomatrix carcinoma, compared to a 34.5% recurrence rate with traditional surgical excision.

This case report describes a rare instance of a giant and atypical proliferating pilomatrixoma on the eyelid, successfully treated with surgical excision, with no recurrence observed after one year, emphasizing the need to excise and histologically evaluate enlarging periocular masses to rule out malignancy.

In this study, researchers found that deleting the Bmi1 gene in murine melanocytes caused premature hair greying and loss of melanocyte lineage cells, highlighting BMI1's role in protecting melanocyte stem cells from stress and oxidative damage.

This study found that a combination of dermatoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy assists in accurately diagnosing pigmented prurigo, which is often misdiagnosed due to its varied clinical manifestations.
