In this study, researchers observed that genetically identical cloned dogs, when exposed to different environments like an airport and a police station for two years, exhibited significant differences in toxic mineral concentrations and intestinal microbiota composition, suggesting that environment influences physiological traits even among clones.

This review investigates molecular mechanisms behind PCOS pathogenesis and discusses potential therapies, but reports no new clinical results.

This article provides a reference guide for various dermatological terms, treatments, and conditions, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that ZP4 expression was highest among PCOS patients with regular menstrual cycles, which may be linked to mature follicle presence, but no correlation with clinical indices was observed.

This study found that exposure to finasteride impaired spermatogenesis in male Xenopus laevis by affecting sex-specific feedback mechanisms in the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis.

This study observed that direct exposure to androgens in Western clawed frogs differentially affects thyroid receptor and deiodinase gene expression in male and female tissues, offering insight into sex-specific metabolic pathway activation.

The document explains what healthy skin, nails, and hair look like on an ultrasound.

This study demonstrated that a strain of lactic acid bacteria from kimchi, identified as Pediococcus inopinatus, showed antibacterial activity against certain oral pathogens and effectively bleached stained artificial teeth and inhibited biofilm formation, offering potential for addressing teeth discoloration and halitosis.

This study observed Malassezia hyphae in the keratotic plugs of healthy individuals, which contrasts with previous findings of these hyphae primarily in lesions of pityriasis versicolor patients.

This report describes a case of trichostasis spinulosa, a condition with pruritic, black papules on the face caused by keratotic plugs with embedded vellus hairs.

This study introduced a bioengineered model that simulates acne's microenvironment in mice, enabling the exploration of host and P. acnes interactions and presenting a novel platform for anti-acne drug and vaccine screening.

This study found that citrullinated proteins, which are implicated in rheumatoid arthritis, were abundant in outer membrane vesicles from Porphyromonas gingivalis but nearly absent in mutants, validating their approach to citrullinated peptide identification.

In this study, clinically used preoperative skin preparations with povidone iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate did not meet FDA log-reduction standards for bacterial bioburden in a porcine model, suggesting persistent infection risks.

This review of studies published after 2020 found that probiotics may significantly reduce acne lesions and improve skin health in individuals with acne vulgaris, though further high-quality research is needed for confirmation and treatment optimization.

This report describes a 60-year-old female with pretibial pruritic papular dermatitis who showed significant improvement of skin lesions after one month of treatment with oral pentoxifylline. The authors highlight the unique clinical and histological features of PPPD and propose pentoxifylline as a potential therapy.

This observational study aims to more accurately detect and localize Propionibacterium acnes in acne lesions by combining multiple microbiological visualization techniques, but it does not present new results on their causality to acne.

This review discusses various sampling methods for studying Propionibacterium acnes in skin follicles and reports no new experimental results; the authors evaluate these methods' strengths and limitations.

This study highlights that the combination of adapalene and benzoyl peroxide (Epiduo®) is an effective first-line treatment for acne, significantly inhibiting antibiotic-susceptible and antibiotic-resistant P. acnes strains.

This article discusses the structure and function of sebaceous glands and their role in skin moisture but reports no new research findings.

This article reviews the role of Pityrosporum (Malassezia) in skin conditions such as pityriasis versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis, and discusses treatment approaches; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found a significant association between gut microbiome composition and PCOS in Indian women, relating specific bacterial genera to reproductive health and metabolic indicators.

This study found that an 8-week supplementation with specific probiotic strains improved hormonal markers and oxidative stress while decreasing inflammation in women with PCOS, although clinical symptoms like acne and hirsutism showed no significant improvement compared to the placebo group.

This study examined recent findings on the role of host-microbiome interactions in acne, highlighting that the skin's microbiome composition differs between acne-affected and healthy individuals and discussing emerging microbiome-based treatments.

This study found that Pleuropterus cilinervis extracts and animal milk fermented with Lactobacillus rhamnosus promoted hair growth in mice, suggesting potential applications in hair loss treatments.

This review assessed dermo-cosmetic treatments using prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, and other biotics for acne and scalp disorders, finding potential benefits, especially with multi-strain or synbiotic formulations, although challenges like formulation stability and the need for larger trials persist.

This abstract reports no new research findings; it includes an educational image of microorganisms found in a skin biopsy.

This study found that Malassezia globosa, a scalp-associated fungus linked to dandruff, grows with saturated but not unsaturated fatty acids, potentially causing unsaturated fatty acid accumulation on the scalp and triggering dandruff-like flaking in susceptible individuals.

This paper reviews trichostasis spinulosa and presents a case in a 13-year-old girl, providing no new clinical research results.

In this study, PEVIII, a nanocomposite chitosan-coated vesicle containing both α-hederin and hederacoside C, demonstrated notable antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a keratitis model, showing significant lesion reduction, tissue improvement, and decreased bacterial load and inflammatory markers compared to other treatments.

This study found that patients with acne vulgaris had significantly lower serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity compared to healthy controls, suggesting that oxidative stress might play a role in the condition's development.
