In this study, growing human hair follicles in a defined glycosaminoglycan hydrogel ex vivo promoted cell survival, proliferation, and activation of hair growth-related signaling pathways, suggesting GAG-based hydrogels could modulate the hair follicle growth cycle.

Hair transplantation and micrografting, used for baldness, involve moving hair follicles from hair-rich to bald areas, requiring careful procedure and post-care for success.

Cancer treatments can cause skin-related side effects that may affect patient quality of life and require changes in treatment.

This article discusses the range of skin-related side effects caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, including novel patterns emerging with targeted therapies, but does not report new clinical results.

Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.

This review found that exposure to pollutants like PM, NOx, and PAHs is linked to various skin and hair disorders, indicating a need for cosmetics with natural adsorbents to reduce pollutant effects, achieving 30-55% removal efficiency.

This study identified 96 cases of pilomatricomas linked to genetic syndromes, including a novel association with Apert syndrome, highlighting that these tumors often manifest as the first indication of underlying conditions in pediatric patients.

This study found that elevated 1-hour plasma glucose in women with PCOS was associated with increased risk of metabolic disorders and gestational diabetes, indicating it may be a useful marker for adverse metabolic status.

In this study, researchers found that in growing skin tissue, epidermal wound healing occurs at the expense of normal skin development, as it impairs hair follicle growth and does not activate tissue morphogenesis genes.

Children need early diagnosis and treatment for iron-deficiency anemia to prevent learning problems and promote health.

PDE inhibitors, especially PDE4 inhibitors like apremilast, are effective for certain inflammatory skin conditions but have side effects and can be costly.

Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.

Lupus can cause different skin problems, and treatments like quitting smoking and using certain creams or medicines can help.

This chapter reviews the causes, prevalence, and prognosis of androgenetic alopecia and discusses treatments like topical minoxidil and systemic finasteride to stop hair loss and potentially increase hair density.

This study reports an unusual finding of plucked anagen hairs with intact hair papilla and connective tissue sheath in various scalp disorders, suggesting further documentation is needed.

This study reported that extended-release valproate significantly reduced seizure frequency and improved quality of life in epilepsy patients over six months, despite some adverse effects like weight gain and tremor.

This study found that variations in the androgen receptor gene influenced memory function in women, with GGN repeat polymorphisms significantly affecting logical memory performance only in females.

This study explored using a chitosan oligomer coating for topical delivery of dutasteride-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers, aiming to reduce systemic exposure and cytotoxicity.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in the Black Sea Region had higher levels of androgens, obesity, and insulin resistance, increasing their risk of metabolic syndrome compared to healthy women.

This study observed that nuclear β-catenin expression in non-small-cell lung carcinomas correlates with increased proliferation and loss of key cell-cycle checkpoints, suggesting an oncogenic advantage.

This study found that gastric exclusion surgery in morbidly obese patients resulted in significant weight loss, improved metabolic parameters, and reduced prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, gout, and hyperlipidemia over time.

This article outlines the rationale, design, major findings, and updated objectives of the ongoing Rotterdam Study, without presenting new research data.

This study found that while a tip-focused calcium gradient influences localized growth in root hairs and pollen tubes, it is not the primary determinant of growth direction in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Treating sleep apnea in young obese women with PCOS can improve heart health and insulin sensitivity.

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.

This study found that women with PCOS have elevated serum androgen levels throughout adulthood, with these levels decreasing and variations increasing as they approach menopause.

This study found that in young Taiwanese women with PCOS, low sex hormone-binding globulin levels were associated with low HDL cholesterol levels, independent of insulin resistance and obesity.

This case report highlights that a woman experienced arsenic toxicosis from kelp supplements, manifesting as alopecia and memory loss, which resolved after stopping the supplements.

This study suggests the existence of a new subtype of alopecia, called 'acute diffuse and total alopecia of the female scalp (ADTAFS)', characterized by acute, diffuse hair loss primarily in women and a rapid recovery.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's skin-related conditions like acne, hirsutism, and female pattern hair loss, noting the lack of dermatology guidelines for when to pursue endocrinologic evaluation.
