Hyaluronic acid injections can improve mouth opening and quality of life in scleroderma patients.

This study examined five patients with cicatricial alopecia treated using the follicular unit extraction technique, finding an average graft survival rate of 64.2% and acceptable transection rates, despite the procedure's challenges compared to non-scarring alopecia.

This narrative review highlights the need for diabetes-informed approaches to aesthetic dermatology as accelerated skin aging in diabetic patients complicates the safety and effectiveness of cosmetic procedures.

This study reviews how individuals with diabetes experience accelerated skin aging and explores the implications for cosmetic treatments, highlighting the need for diabetes-informed dermatologic approaches due to limited evidence on safety and efficacy in this population.

This review synthesizes the latest advances in wound healing and scar management, exploring molecular mechanisms, therapeutic strategies, and providing an evidence-based comparison of topical agents like Dermatix Ultra and Contractubex for scar improvement, aimed at informing clinicians and patients in decision-making.

This narrative review synthesizes findings suggesting that exosomes show promise for dermatological and regenerative applications, with early human studies indicating acceptable safety and potential benefits for wound care, rejuvenation, and alopecia, though clinical and regulatory development is still in its infancy.

This review reports that biomaterial-based drug delivery systems show promise in overcoming the limitations of traditional therapies for pathological scars by integrating sustained drug release with minimally invasive transdermal technologies, potentially enhancing treatment efficacy for these challenging skin lesions.

This source reviews the common skin-related side effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in treating endocrine cancers and emphasizes that proactive, multidisciplinary management can effectively control these adverse events without compromising cancer treatment efficacy.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma may improve patient-reported outcomes for scar symptoms like pain and itching at six months, although no significant changes in scar appearance were observed at three months.

This review found that LED therapy, using light in specific wavelengths, may offer effective, non-invasive treatment options for various skin conditions, including acne, melasma, photoaging, and wound healing.

This study found that a microneedle patch integrating curcumin-loaded vesicles and a stem cell-derived matrix showed promise in reducing hypertrophic scars and promoting hair follicle formation in a rabbit model.

This study reviews emerging techniques in acute burn wound therapy, noting innovations such as advanced imaging for better wound assessment and new closure strategies aimed at improving healing, graft survival, and scarring outcomes, while emphasizing the need for further research to validate these methods.

This review paper highlights that titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs), due to their biological properties like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, show promise in accelerating wound healing and enhancing tissue regeneration when used in scaffolds and dressings.

This retrospective study reported significant improvements in keloid scars among 60 patients treated with punch excision and superficial X-ray, with lower Vancouver Scar Scale and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale scores a year post-treatment and no severe adverse reactions observed.

This review found that topical metformin shows potential as a treatment in dentistry for periodontitis and in dermatology for conditions like wound healing and acne, but results for melasma are inconsistent.

This source reports that for treating keloids and hypertrophic scars, combination pharmacotherapy targeting multiple sites is generally more effective than using a single drug, though outcomes of individual therapies vary and the development of satisfying treatments is ongoing.

In this narrative review, the authors explored various rehabilitative techniques, including injections and physical therapies, that may enhance aesthetics and psychosocial wellbeing in patients with disabilities, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to improve both functional and cosmetic outcomes.

This study investigated dermatological conditions among 223 Indian postmenopausal women, reporting that 83.4% had skin disorders, 29.1% had genital symptoms, 10.3% had oral issues, 33.6% experienced hair disorders, and 26% faced nail problems.

This source highlights the challenges in treating cicatricial alopecia, noting that follicular unit extraction hair transplantation offers a minimally invasive and successful option to improve cosmetic outcomes for patients with permanent hair loss from scarring.

This paper discusses the challenges of hair transplantation in burn patients due to issues like scar tissue's mechanical properties, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported that using a shampoo and tonic containing horse placental growth factor improved hair thickness and density in postpartum women over three months.

This issue contains notes by Dr. Bradley Wolf and mentions comments by Dr. Jerry Cooley, but it presents no new research findings.

This study found that biodegradable PLA particles released fluorochromes in a time-dependent manner on human skin, with BP-PLA particles releasing rapidly and DiAsp-PLA particles providing sustained release and accumulation in hair follicles.

In this study, the bending stiffness of human hair was linked to the varying proportions of para-like versus ortho-like cortical cells within the hair fiber.

This case report describes a newly identified condition called loose anagen hair of childhood, characterized by easily pluckable hair in two young boys, with variable duration and no scalp inflammation or scarring.

In this study, CRISPR/Cas9-engineered Arabidopsis mutants revealed diverse functional differences among expansin proteins essential for root hair growth, highlighting variability in protein trafficking, cell wall binding, and evolutionary changes in critical residues affecting wall loosening.
