This study found a significant association between pseudofolliculitis barbae and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, but not with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In this study, Polygonum multiflorum Radix promoted hair growth in mice, with oral administration being more effective, likely through FGF-7, while topical application favored SHH-related mechanisms.

This study observed that proteins in the mTOR signaling pathway are expressed differently in the hair follicles of patients with lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting a role in the pathogenesis of these conditions.

This study found that injectable finasteride microspheres provided a sustained drug release with a minimal initial burst in albino rabbits compared to oral suspension.

In this study, I-PRF, a blood-derived biomaterial without anticoagulants, was found to inhibit melanin production and reduce oxidative stress damage in a rat model of melasma, suggesting it as a safe and cost-effective treatment option.

This paper provides an auditable companion package for their exploratory re-analysis of miRNA dysregulation and target enrichment in female pattern hair loss cases, focusing on candidate-level results from a public dataset comparison between affected individuals and healthy controls.

This study highlights that mutations in the MBTPS2 gene can lead to dermatological disorders like IFAP syndrome and severe bone diseases such as X-Linked Osteogenesis Imperfecta, emphasizing the significance of understanding these genetic variants for disease mechanisms and associations.

This case report describes three pediatric cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a condition typically seen in postmenopausal women, including a unique instance involving female twins.

The authors concluded that the concept of postfinasteride syndrome remains contentious and may be more plausibly characterized as a psychiatric condition rather than a consistent medical syndrome.

This study found that Polygonum multiflorum extract may promote hair growth by increasing anagen duration and activating dermal papilla cells in human hair follicles, as observed in cultured cell models.

This study reports a method for fabricating biofunctional polymer fibers by using DNA-programmable cell-free protein synthesis integrated through solution blow spinning, enabling in situ protein production and potential applications in respirators, sampling swabs, and other advanced materials.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of ectodermal dysplasia features in a 14-year-old with MBTPS1 gene variants, expanding the known spectrum of related disorders.

This study observed that the development of the pars intermedia in long-tailed macaques is closely associated with changes in skin pigmentation during pre- and postnatal periods through melanocyte-stimulating hormone and ACTH activity.

Some people have a genetic variation that makes them less effective at breaking down drugs.

This study found that finasteride treatment was effective for male pattern alopecia and that hair loss significantly impacted patients' quality of life and psychological well-being.

This study explores the various properties of the flavonoid fisetin, highlighting its potential therapeutic applications due to its ability to modulate numerous biological pathways, suggesting benefits in conditions like inflammation, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.

This study found that combining photobiomodulation therapy with minoxidil significantly improved hair quality and reduced telogen-phase hair counts more effectively than minoxidil alone in women with female pattern hair loss over a shorter 12.5-week period.

This case study describes a patient with rapidly progressing follicular mycosis fungoides, highlighting its unusual histology and challenges in diagnosing it against cutaneous B-cell lymphoma.

This case series observed that macular changes from popper use can resolve completely after cessation, even in individuals with chronic use.

In this case report, a 31-year-old diabetic and obese male was diagnosed with follicular psoriasis, a rare variant characterized by scaly follicular papules, using dermoscopy and histopathology; treatment with topical mometasone furoate and oral levocetirizine led to complete lesion resolution within a month.

A 308 nm excimer laser successfully treated a boy with a rare skin condition after about a year of weekly sessions.

This review discusses the current understanding of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis of female pattern hair loss and reports no new research results.

This study found that deleting the Mof gene in mouse skin leads to severe defects in skin cell self-renewal, differentiation, and hair follicle growth, indicating that MOF is crucial for mitochondrial and ciliary gene expression and essential for skin development.

This article discusses post-finasteride syndrome as a distinct syndrome related to prolonged use of 5α-steroid reductase inhibitors, noting persistent side effects even after discontinuation and no new research results are reported.

This study found that RALF peptides, through liquid-liquid phase separation, form condensates with pectin and other proteins, playing a pivotal role in plant development and stress response regulation.

Mycophenolate mofetil may improve symptoms and stop hair loss in Lichen planopilaris, but more research is needed.

The researchers reported that the novel MBTPS2 variant p.Glu172Asp found in a male proband is likely pathogenic, consistent with osteogenesis imperfecta symptoms and molecular signatures, including disrupted fatty acid metabolism and collagen production.

This case report describes a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia who did not improve with hydroxychloroquine and topical minoxidil but achieved clinical stabilization with methotrexate monotherapy.

The researchers in this study identified molecular mechanisms involved in frontal fibrosis alopecia, highlighting immune response and fatty acid metabolism, and developed a four-gene diagnostic model showing high accuracy in distinguishing affected individuals from controls.
