This study concluded that the ClinRO and PRO measures, along with their photoguides, offer clear and meaningful assessments for patients with alopecia areata concerning eyebrow, eyelash, and nail appearance, as well as eye irritation.

This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells maintained their proliferation and differentiation potential when cultured with acidic fibroblast growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, or epidermal growth factor.

This study suggests that the susceptibility of hair follicle melanocytes to oxidative stress as they age may be key in the graying of hair due to reduced catalase expression and activity.

This study found that certain C57BL/6 mouse substrains have a genetic vulnerability to skin lesions resembling central centrifugal cicatrical alopecia in humans, potentially worsened by high vitamin A levels.

This study identified enzymes responsible for regulating androgen action in the human prostate, suggesting that inhibiting AKR1C2 or RL-HSD may have therapeutic potential in androgen insufficiency or benign prostatic hyperplasia, respectively.

This study observed that in hormone-starved prostate cancer cells, the androgen 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone rapidly induces matriptase activation and shedding, which involves androgen receptor signaling and requires both transcription and protein synthesis.

This study found that 87% of patients with stage IIA and IIB melanoma treated with low-dose alpha-interferon reported cutaneous side effects, with the most common being hair loss.

This study suggests that in human osteoblast-like cells, the 5alpha-reductase type 1 isozyme predominantly catalyzes the conversion of testosterone to DHT, which may play a role in bone homeostasis.

This study found that controlled release of VEGF via a collagen hydrogel promoted hair follicle growth and cell proliferation in mice more effectively than free VEGF injections.

Finasteride reduces hair loss and treats BPH without major hormone changes, but may cause sexual dysfunction.

This study found that prolactin and melatonin both stimulated hair shaft elongation in Cashmere goat hair follicles, with maximum growth observed at specific concentrations, although melatonin reduced follicle viability after 96 hours.

Protein ubiquitylation is crucial for controlling stem cell functions and could be targeted for cancer treatment.

This review discusses recent advances in scarless wound healing, focusing on strategies to create pro-regenerative scaffolds for repairing damaged skin, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a novel hybrid bilayer scaffold system enhanced wound healing in an in-vivo model by promoting cell viability, migration, and preventing infection, showing potential as an advanced dressing for cutaneous wounds.

This study used proteomics to identify various proteins in human hair, which may help develop novel biomarkers for hair health, disease, and aging.

This study found that testosterone-enanthate increased red blood cell production and altered iron homeostasis in older hypogonadal men without being affected by finasteride, indicating these effects do not require type II 5α-reductase enzyme activity.

This publication provides a standardized nomenclature for classifying microscopic lesions in laboratory rat and mouse skin, aiming to harmonize international toxicological research.

This study observed that nearly all aged nursing home residents in Berlin had at least one dermatological condition, with xerosis cutis being the most common, but few associations with demographics or medical characteristics were found.

This study reviews the biology and cosmetic treatment of hair, emphasizing future advancements in safer, more effective procedures to meet consumer needs for hair care.

This study suggests that cultured hair follicle dermal sheath cup cells exhibit immune privilege properties, partly through the expression of PD-L1, which impacts co-cultured immune cells' behavior.

This study found that bimatoprost stimulated hair growth in both human scalp follicle cultures and mouse pelage in vivo, suggesting it might offer a promising treatment for scalp alopecias.

In this study, UVB irradiation of organ-cultured human anagen hair follicles in vitro reduced hair elongation and increased cell death, affecting hair growth and regulatory processes.

This study found that prolactin plays a direct role in regulating the timing of hair growth cycles in mice by affecting the skin, rather than through other endocrine factors.

In this study, reduced androgen receptor gene methylation and shorter CAG repeats in children with premature pubarche may lead to increased hair follicle sensitivity to steroid hormones, potentially causing early pubic hair development.

This study found that the absence of Sgk3 in mice leads to impaired hair follicle maturation, characterized by reduced cell proliferation, increased apoptosis, and premature regression.

Cooling the scalp below 22°C before and during chemotherapy can help prevent hair loss.

This review explains methods for studying chromatin variation at the single-cell level using scATAC-seq and discusses integrating these measures with other omics platforms but reports no new results.

This review discusses hairstyling practices in the black community linked to traction alopecia, categorizes them by risk, and offers guidance for dermatologists on management and patient education but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that KRTAP2 proteins predominantly express in the hair shaft cortex of humans, interact with hair keratins, and play crucial roles in hair shaft keratinization.
