This study developed a simple and reliable technique to quantify hair loss in mice, potentially enhancing assessment and comparison of new alopecia therapies in preclinical research.

This study found that individuals with protein-calorie malnutrition, especially those with kwashiorkor, required significantly less force to pluck hair compared to well-nourished patients.

In this qualitative study, researchers found that patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer frequently experience symptoms such as tiredness, nausea, and pain, as well as impacts like anxiety, leading to a revised conceptual model to improve patient-reported outcome measures in future clinical trials.

This systematic review found that interactions between patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and healthcare professionals often face challenges due to insufficient information sharing, inadequate patient support, and health system barriers.

This study identified genetic, biological, and technical factors that influence circRNA expression in the human brain, connecting these factors to potential genetic risk for diseases like schizophrenia and type II diabetes.

This study reports that among men, skin surface hydration and pH change with age, but transepidermal water loss and sebum production show less variation.

This study developed a mouse model to monitor hair follicle cycling macroscopically through live bioluminescence imaging, enabling detailed analysis of hair cycle and propagation dynamics influenced by environmental factors.

This study suggests that elevated copper levels in domestic tapwater, exacerbated by its aggressive properties, likely contribute to green hair by damaging the cuticle and increasing copper uptake.

This study explored a multidimensional approach to examine body hairs' physico-chemical properties, potentially supporting their use over scalp hairs in forensic and intoxication studies.

This review highlights the significant impact of alopecia on personal identity and social interactions, emphasizing the need for personalized, non-pharmacological interventions and improved collaboration in healthcare training to better support those with appearance-altering conditions.

In this study, researchers developed a method to automatically detect androgen receptor nuclear translocation in dermal papilla cells using fluorescence markers and image analysis, finding that the receptor's nuclear signal peaks about 20 minutes after DHT exposure.

This study developed and validated a reliable RP-HPLC method for accurately quantifying dutasteride in pharmaceutical formulations and bulk pharmaceuticals using a Shiseido C18 analytical column, demonstrating precision, accuracy, and sensitivity across a concentration range of 10 to 22 ppm.

This review discusses various approaches to skin tissue engineering and the evaluation of skin substitutes, highlighting the need for more objective assessments and improved understanding of skin regeneration.

In laboratory models of human skin, this study found that treating with resveratrol significantly increased glutathione levels, potentially enhancing the skin's antioxidant defenses.

This study identified flavonoids and phytosterols in a medicated cosmetic cream developed for androgenic alopecia and proposed methods for their identification and quantification.

High-dose androgen therapy can help manage certain types of androgen resistance.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata face challenges like medical uncertainty and lack of information, highlighting the need for reliable and accessible treatment information that aligns with their preferences.

In this systematic meta-synthesis, the researchers observed substantial variation in how individuals with alopecia manage identity and appearance changes, highlighting difficulties with acceptance, social influences, and unmet treatment needs, thus emphasizing personalized support through non-pharmacological interventions.

In this study, researchers analyzed internet and social media content related to hair loss, finding widespread misinformation about its causes and treatments, including unfounded criticisms of conventional therapies and promotion of alternative remedies.

This study found that alopecia areata significantly impacts emotional and psychological well-being, relationships, and lifestyles, highlighting the need for increased awareness and effective treatments.

This study identified six belief themes that may contribute to hairpulling behavior in women with trichotillomania, suggesting an important role for cognitions in this disorder's phenomenology.

Accurate method measures finasteride levels in human plasma using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

The researchers reported that hair offers a measurable protective barrier against UVB and UVA radiation, which increases with hair density, thickness, and melanin content, suggesting a role in skin cancer prevention.

This study observed phenotypic diversity in hair loss among Japanese individuals homozygous for the LIPH c.736T>A mutation and suggests that differences in hair thickness may contribute to varying severities.

This study observed variability in hair density and types across different scalp areas in cadaver biopsies, providing reference values that could aid in diagnosing hair disorders in Asians.

This study identified six key concerns, including self-consciousness and physical symptoms, among patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus that should be considered in quality-of-life assessments.

This study found a strong correlation between the Sinclair Scale and cumulative hair thickness density, allowing the estimation of the Sinclair Scale from trichoscopy-derived statistics.

This study found that nearly all nurses caring for chemotherapy patients showed detectable levels of cyclophosphamide in their urine, indicating significant occupational exposure to this antineoplastic drug.

In this study, researchers found that chemotherapy-induced alopecia counseling and resource access are insufficient and influenced by socioeconomic factors such as employment, income, and education, underscoring the need for standardized education and improved resource availability to address disparities.

This study found that TikTok provides valuable insights into experiences with lupus erythematosus, highlighting distress from symptoms, negative perceptions of pharmacologic treatments, and issues with feeling "medically gaslighted.
