This study reported that high ornithine decarboxylase expression and decreased keratin K1 and K10 expression may serve as useful markers for early stages of tumor development in mouse skin.

This study found that weanling rats fed diets with oxidized rapeseed oil or lard had increased heart lipid levels, various symptoms of fat toxicity, and organ-specific tissue damage.

This review discusses the adverse events associated with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, finding them generally well-tolerated but noting potential risks like sexual side effects and psychological effects in men, and sparse data on use in women.

This article reviews treatment options for unwanted facial hair in women, noting that eflornithine 13.9% cream reduces hair growth rate and can be combined with other methods.

This case study describes a 59-year-old man with scurvy, initially misdiagnosed as leukocytoclastic vasculitis, who showed rapid improvement after vitamin C supplementation; it reviews scurvy's biochemical basis, symptoms, and management.

This study found that the TrichoScan method detected significant increases in hair counts and cumulative hair thickness in men after finasteride treatment, suggesting its potential for monitoring hair treatment responses.

This review discusses the role of androgen metabolism in hair follicles and its potential impact on future treatments for androgenetic alopecia, but reports no clinical results.

In this randomized study of male contraceptive regimens, adding finasteride did not significantly enhance spermatogenesis suppression compared to the control group.

This study demonstrated immunological cross-reactivity between mycobacterial heat-shock protein 65 and human epidermal cytokeratin 1/2, suggesting that this cross-reactive epitope might play a role in skin diseases.

This study reported that intensive immunosuppression in multiple sclerosis patients significantly reduced relapse rates versus pre-treatment expectations, though some required ongoing treatment after tapering.

This study used advanced analytical techniques to reveal that proteins and lipids are distributed unevenly in hair, with distinct structural differences depending on their location within the fiber.

This study found that IL-1 alpha inhibits the growth of cultured human hair follicles and hair fibers, suggesting a potential role in inflammatory hair loss conditions like alopecia areata.

This study describes how shotgun proteomics can identify over 300 proteins in hair shafts, potentially allowing for the diagnosis of diseases through noninvasive human proteome sampling.

This study found that selected polymeric pretreatments on hair can significantly reduce breakage and protect against thermal damage from hot flat irons by maintaining cuticle integrity and moisture.

This review discusses the methodology, limitations, and advantages of Follicular Unit Extraction in hair transplantation without providing new clinical results.

This article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of various alopecia types, including androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium, but reports no new clinical results.

This paper reviews follicular hair transplantation techniques and planning, emphasizing careful evaluation and long-term strategy for achieving excellent cosmetic results.

This study found that increased hair cortisol levels, indicating stress, were associated with greater hair loss in captive rhesus macaques, although the causality of this relationship remains unclear.

This study found that low iron stores are a risk factor for excessive hair loss in non-menopausal women.

This study found no structural differences between in vitro and in vivo grown hair, with keratinization and organization of keratin being comparable in both settings.

This article reviews the molecular mechanisms involved in androgenetic alopecia, focusing on the role of type 2 5α-reductase and DHT, but presents no new findings.

This study found that treating Tradescantia stamen hair cells with LiCl disrupts mitotic progression, leading to metaphase arrest, which can be reversed by myo-inositol or CaCl2 addition.

This study suggests that the harlequin ichthyosis mouse model closely resembles human type 2 harlequin ichthyosis, indicating its potential as a useful model for studying the human condition.

In this study, researchers used three-dimensional reconstruction to show that the shape of the hair follicle determines the hair's form, with variations observed among different racial groups.

This study found no significant difference in hair growth between patients with extensive alopecia areata treated with 1% minoxidil and those given a placebo.

This study concluded that wedge resection in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome did not significantly affect androgen status or the biochemical features of the condition, though most regained regular menstrual cycles and some became pregnant.

According to this study, systemic retinoids, specifically oral isotretinoin and acitretin, were more effective than finasteride in stabilizing the frontal hairline in female patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, achieving treatment goals in over 70% of cases.

This study found that the type IV collagenases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, play significant roles in the hair cycle, potentially through their influence on VEGF, IGF-1, and TGF-β expression.
