This review summarizes recent research on the skin microbiome's role in acne development and how antibiotic treatments affect skin microbes, but it reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that DHT may reduce the inflammatory responses induced by C. acnes in androgen-sensitive human sebocyte cells, suggesting a potential link between androgens and infection in sebaceous disorders.

This study observed that Indian women with PCOS had distinct gut microbiome profiles, linking specific bacterial genera to metabolic and hormonal predictors of the condition.

In laboratory settings, this study found that finasteride repurposed as a quorum sensing inhibitor significantly reduced virulence factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including biofilm formation by 45% and pyocyanin production by 49%, suggesting potential for treating infections.

This study analyzed changes in the microbiota during antler velvet regeneration in sika deer and found significant differences in microbial community composition between 15 and 30 days post-pedicle casting, highlighting the potential roles of specific bacteria in wound healing and tissue regeneration.

This study found that consuming Lactobacillus paracasei HY7015 promoted hair growth and follicle maturation in mice, likely through stimulating dermal papilla cell proliferation and growth factor secretion.

This study suggests that although hydroxyapatite gel has strong bactericidal effects, its combination with platelet-enriched blood autoplasm does not enhance antibacterial activity in endodontic treatment for chronic apical periodontitis.

The researchers reported that platelet-rich plasma treatment increased hair growth in androgenic alopecia patients, potentially by altering scalp microbiota composition, including increased Cutibacterium and decreased Staphylococcus and Lawsonella.

In this study, Pleuropterus cilinervis extracts and animal milk fermented with Lactobacillus rhamnosus were found to enhance hair re-growth in mice more than the positive control treatment.

The effectiveness of finasteride for preventing chronic bacterial prostatitis is unclear.

This study reports that daily topical application of a 0.05% tretinoin solution can eliminate the hair plugs and symptoms associated with trichostasis spinulosa.

In this study, a daily topical application of a 0.05% tretinoin solution effectively removed dark plugs and resolved symptoms of trichostasis spinulosa.

This research review identified improved outcomes in acne treatment when oral probiotics or topical probiotic-derived formulations were added to standard therapies, with probiotics reducing acne severity and enhancing safety and tolerability compared to treatments such as 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide and Doxycycline.

This study observed that Poria cocos polysaccharides and finasteride both reduced inflammation in chronic nonbacterial prostatitis in rats, but only Poria cocos polysaccharides reversed related changes in the gut microbiota.

This study found a significantly higher density of Demodex mites in sebaceous hyperplasia lesions compared to controls, suggesting a possible link between Demodex and the development of these skin lesions.

This study suggests that using a dermoscope, a handheld microscope, can effectively help distinguish between Pityrosporum folliculitis and Acne vulgaris by revealing unique lesion characteristics that are not visible to the naked eye, offering a practical diagnostic alternative when KOH examinations are unavailable.

In this study, a topical cream containing 3% lactic acid ferment lysate (VHProbi ® MixP) was found to significantly reduce sebum, porphyrin levels, and pore size, while increasing hydration and improving skin texture in participants with oily skin over a 60-day period.

This case series suggests that Propionibacterium acnes colonization may contribute to the development of hair casts and diffuse non-scarring alopecia, as patients' symptoms improved with antibiotics targeting the bacteria.

This article suggests targeting the water activity within pilosebaceous follicles using biocompatible solutes like xylose and sucrose as a new potential topical treatment for acne.

This study observed that cultured dermal papilla cells showed distinct functional properties from dermal fibroblasts, including lower proliferation rates, higher adhesion to collagen type IV, and different cell-matrix interactions.

This study found that intracorneal vacuoles were common in various parakeratotic skin diseases in dogs, but large vacuoles were exclusively observed in congenital follicular parakeratosis.

This study found that stem cells from mouse dental pulp and vibrissae shared similar marker profiles, but dental pulp stem cells expressed a broader range of stem cell markers, suggesting their potential use in regenerative medicine.

In this case study, a 46-year-old post-transplant woman with poorly controlled diabetes exhibited a rare acquired form of epidermodysplasia verruciformis associated with HPV-49, marked by unique histological findings that distinguishing it from trichodysplasia spinulosa.

This study found that a curcumin-labeled particle-associated antiseptic penetrated deeper into hair follicles in porcine skin than particles without antiseptic.

This review highlights that bacteriophage therapy shows promise for acne treatment by specifically targeting Cutibacterium acnes, but larger clinical trials and improved regulatory frameworks are needed for further development.

This study found that the natural alkaloid cepharanthine effectively inhibited porcine epidemic diarrhea virus infection in newborn piglets.

In this study, viprostol was not effective in promoting hair growth for men with androgenetic alopecia over a 24-week period.

This review summarizes evidence that pityrosporum folliculitis in immunocompromised patients responds well to topical antifungals and treatment of underlying conditions, based on a limited number of studies with small sample sizes.
