This hypothesis proposes that fungal infection may be a common risk factor for both male pattern baldness and coronary heart disease, supported by some evidence linking antifungal treatment to improvements in both conditions.

This review examines the differences in dermatology practices between Europe and North America, noting that European dermatologists often prioritize evaluating patients' psychosocial factors and utilize nondrug treatments, unlike their North American counterparts.

This study found that all four evaluated large language models generated a significant proportion of inappropriate responses when prompted with or without LGBTQIA+ identity terms, with more severe bias observed in prompts mentioning LGBTQIA+ identities.

This review concluded that baricitinib and other oral JAK inhibitors have the most robust evidence supporting their use in treating severe alopecia areata in adults, compared to other less-evaluated treatments.

This source reports that modern hair transplant techniques, including follicular unit grafting, can create natural-looking results and are increasingly used beyond male pattern baldness to treat areas like eyebrows and scars, while even some controversial indications are being explored.

This chapter reviews classic regeneration models in planarian worms and amphibian limbs, focusing on the role of stem cells, and reports no new experimental results.

This review covers cell transplantation methods for genitourinary reconstruction, discussing tissue sources and complications but presenting no new clinical findings.

This study found that tumor immunotherapy, while effective against solid tumors, can disrupt the immune balance in hair follicles, causing follicular toxicity and alopecia, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to manage these adverse effects.

This narrative systematic review reports that gel-based, cryogel, and silicone-based cooling caps offer cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternatives to traditional machine-operated systems for preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss, particularly benefiting low-income and low-resource settings.

This randomized, placebo-controlled trial reported that USPlus PRO saw palmetto extract significantly improved lower urinary tract symptoms, including voiding, incomplete emptying, and weak stream, as well as sexual function in males over 12 weeks, while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

This review details the global mutation patterns of genes associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and highlights potential, yet unproven, treatments like minoxidil and regenerative therapies, reporting no new clinical results.

This study demonstrated that skin organoids derived from human stem cells can model cutaneous tuberculosis, revealing that fibrosis development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected organoids is linked to the PI3K-AKT and AP1 pathways in fibroblasts, and suggesting the potential for antifibrotic treatment evaluation.

Chikungunya can cause hyperpigmentation in children and should be considered in diagnosis.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

In this nonrandomized controlled trial, tenon capsule injection of platelet-rich plasma improved capillary perfusion and may enhance short-term vision in patients with acute nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

This study found that elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) wound dressings promote tissue regeneration and stability without rejection in ex vivo and in vivo models, indicating potential for hard-to-heal wound treatment.

This study reports that transplantation and in vivo reprogramming using specific reprogrammed cell types can generate skin appendage-like structures in adult mice, suggesting potential therapeutic avenues for skin regeneration and disorders.

This article discusses practices for treating premature hair loss in women, and reports no new experimental results.

Skin changes throughout life, from development before birth to aging effects like wrinkles, influenced by both genetics and environment.

Mutations in the P2RY5 gene cause hereditary woolly hair.

Accurate diagnosis and treatment of skin and hair disorders are crucial, with growing focus on hair loss treatments like topical minoxidil.

This study reports no results yet and only indicates an ongoing randomized placebo-controlled trial investigating the effects of microneedling combined with topical dutasteride solution for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This meta-analysis reported that photobiomodulation therapy may improve hair density and stimulate hair growth in patients with androgenic alopecia compared to sham treatments, but larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

This article introduces the Progressive Loss (PL) Scale, aimed at helping physicians communicate the long-term cosmetic risks of hair restoration surgery to patients.

This research abstract provides information about the publisher, Wolters Kluwer Health, and the journal's subscription services, but it doesn’t describe a specific study or research findings. Results are not reported.

This study reported that combining Poly-D,L-Lactic Acid with Platelet-Rich Plasma for facial rejuvenation reduced wrinkle severity and improved skin tone and hyperpigmentation in a 45-year-old female patient.

PRP treatment improved skin pigmentation and appearance in facial lichen planus pigmentosus.

This review discusses the current evidence on platelet-rich plasma therapy's biological mechanisms and clinical applications, highlighting its promise in regenerative medicine and the challenges to its integration in nursing practice.

This paper reviews treatments for lichen planopilaris, including low-level laser therapy, but reports no new clinical results and highlights the need for further research.

In this research, RNA expression analysis of scalp biopsies from lichen planopilaris patients revealed changes in specific genes after treatments with hydroxychloroquine, narrow band UVB, or low level laser light therapy, suggesting potential biomarkers and implicating M2 macrophages in the disease's immunopathogenesis.
