This study found several microRNA-related genetic variants linked to epithelial ovarian cancer risk, with a notable association at the 17q21.31 region, suggesting potential new susceptibility genes.

This study found that 2% ketoconazole shampoo improved hair density and anagen follicle proportion in androgenic alopecia similarly to minoxidil treatment, suggesting a potential role for Malassezia in inflammation.

This study found that hair diameter increases toward the scalp during pregnancy, a novel observation compared to the normal decrease seen in nonpregnant women.

This study identified the Hairless (Hr) gene-encoded protein as a corepressor that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin and hair by regulating epithelial stem cell differentiation and gene expression via chromatin remodeling, which may impact both development and disease.

This review discusses the use of zinc in treating dermatological conditions and concludes that, aside from systemic zinc deficiency, its efficacy as a primary treatment is unproven, though it may be useful as a supplementary therapy.

This commentary explores the marketing of unproven and unlicensed adipose-derived stem cell treatments in US clinics, highlighting concerns about patient safety and regulatory challenges.

This chapter reviews cultural practices and morphological differences in ethnic hair, relating them to specific disorders seen in these populations, without presenting new clinical results.

This article argues that lineage labeling with genetic markers is the gold standard for identifying epithelial stem cells, contrary to the view that in vitro methods alone are sufficient.

This research article evaluates the protein content of yeast grown on wood hydrolyzate, without providing new results or clinical findings.

This study reported that the n-butanol fraction of Perilla frutescens extract, particularly rosmarinic acid, showed potential for hair regrowth and anti-androgenic activity in male mice, suggesting it as a possible treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

This study did not find any significant effects of estradiol or its antagonists on hair growth in two common mouse strains, challenging previous results reported by Oh and Smart.

This article discusses the challenges in differentiating between basaloid follicular hamartoma and infundibulocytic basal cell carcinoma, highlighting the need for clarity in diagnosis but reports no new results.

This study explored the immune environment of the hair follicle's bulge region and suggested that its unique signaling may prevent melanoma formation by lacking necessary proinflammatory signals for full oncogenic transformation, indicating potential strategies for melanoma prevention by replicating this immune-privileged environment.

Women treated with X-ray for scalp fungus as children had a higher chance of hair loss, especially with higher radiation doses and severe fungus infections.

This study found that oxybenzone is very stable under light exposure, contradicting previous findings of its oxidation to semiquinone after solar irradiation.

This perspective discusses Villani et al.'s findings on the role of the IGF regulatory protein Igfbp2 in basal cell carcinogenesis and highlights potential therapeutic and preventive targets, while raising questions about the cell of origin.

This chapter reviews existing knowledge about melatonin's MT₁ and MT₂ receptors in human tissues, discussing their established and potential functions, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that keratinocyte growth factor is a potent mitogen in human hyperplastic prostate cells, suggesting it plays an important role in prostate growth by acting in a paracrine manner.

This study identified a cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP-pa1 from Pseudonocardia autotrophica, as responsible for the specific hydroxylation of cyclosporin A at the 9th N-methyl leucine, suggesting potential for biotechnological applications.

This study reports the first case of atrichia with papular lesions in a Taiwanese family without a detectable mutation in the HR gene.

This article reviews factors influencing hidradenitis suppurativa, its clinical diagnosis, and the diverse management approaches but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that peptidylarginine deiminase type III and trichohyalin are coincidentally expressed in the infant rat hair follicle, but trichohyalin deimination occurs after their expression during development.

The debate focuses on the role of catagen and hair shedding mechanisms in telogen effluvium.

This study suggests that immunohistochemistry of keratin and involucrin expression can aid in distinguishing malignant trichilemmoma from other tumors previously diagnosed as such.

This study found that adults with alopecia go through stages of embarrassment, seeking solutions, and acceptance, influenced by stress, lifestyle, and social factors, resulting in a withdrawn life due to negative body image.

This article critiques the limited clinical applicability of recognizing catagen in hair cycle studies, emphasizing its importance in histologic diagnosis and the continuum with telogen effluvium.

This study analyzed 3,295 cases from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System to describe demographics and reporting trends of post-finasteride syndrome, finding that most reports came from patients rather than health professionals.

The researchers reported that the petroleum ether extract of Cuscuta reflexa may promote hair growth in testosterone-induced alopecia in mice by inhibiting the enzyme 5α-reductase.

This study found that Cuscuta reflexa extracts promoted hair regrowth and follicular proliferation in cyclophosphamide-induced hair loss in male rats.

This article reviews the traditional uses of Citrullus colocynthis for various conditions like cancer and jaundice but reports no new clinical results, underscoring its role in folk medicine.
