This study reviewed adverse events associated with low-dose oral minoxidil for treating alopecia, finding hypertrichosis and fluid retention as common, typically manageable side effects without needing treatment discontinuation.

This meta-analysis of animal studies found that alkaloids have potential anti-influenza and anti-inflammatory effects, correlating with improved viral titers and survival rates, though they did not effectively reduce TNF-α and IL-6 levels. Extensive further studies are needed to confirm these findings before considering clinical application.

This study explored 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels in hair samples from participants in Aberdeen and suggested potential links between hair vitamin D levels, seasonal UVB exposure, and marine diet in both modern and archaeological contexts.

Using synchrotron X-ray imaging, this study mapped the complex innervation of male rat vibrissa follicles, revealing distinct types of myelinated afferent neurons and patterns of axonal organization that may inform sensory processing in the brainstem.

This study developed and tested two methods to accurately quantify hair growth rates in polar, black, and grizzly bears using dye application and isotopically labelled amino acids, revealing growth rate variations by individual and season.

This study formulated and characterized a dutasteride-loaded nanocrystalline suspension for long-acting parenteral delivery, finding that it provided sustained drug release in rats with a significant reduction in local inflammation over 28 days following intramuscular injection.

In this case report, a 72-year-old female with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome showed significant improvement in symptoms and gastrointestinal polyps after hormone therapy and additional treatment.

This review highlights caffeine's diverse benefits in cosmetics and nutricosmetics, noting its antioxidant properties, ability to treat skin disorders like androgenic alopecia, and potential to enhance sunscreen effectiveness, though penetration into deeper skin layers remains challenging.

In this case report, a 6-year-old boy with hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia 2 caused by GJB6 mutations showed no significant hair improvement with age, despite treatment with botanical extracts and Minoxidil.

This review reports that tinea capitis is uncommon in adults, with postmenopausal African American or Black women at higher risk, and emphasizes the importance of prompt antifungal treatment to prevent complications.

In this review, an association was reported between early-onset androgenetic alopecia and several health conditions like obesity and cardiovascular disease, with genetic and therapeutic research ongoing to improve treatment.

In this narrative review, the authors explored various rehabilitative techniques, including injections and physical therapies, that may enhance aesthetics and psychosocial wellbeing in patients with disabilities, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to improve both functional and cosmetic outcomes.

This study found that Gynostemma pentaphyllum leaf hydrodistillate (GPHD) promoted hair growth in mice similarly to minoxidil and upregulated growth factor expression via the AKT/β-catenin signaling pathway, with damulin B identified as an active component contributing to these effects.

This study observed that a novel extracellular matrix hydrogel made from human fibroblast-derived matrix improved wound healing in animal models, showing significant effects such as hair follicle formation, reduced inflammation, enhanced pro-healing growth factor levels, and interaction with macrophages, compared to traditional collagen hydrogels.

This study highlights that a novel radially aligned nanofiber scaffold with dual growth factor gradients significantly enhances wound healing, promoting cell migration, epidermal regeneration, and angiogenesis, ultimately leading to improved wound closure, immune regulation, and tissue remodeling compared to other groups.

In this study, researchers developed a microfluidics-based method to generate hair follicle germs on a large scale for potential hair regeneration therapies, demonstrating efficient hair follicle regeneration following transplantation into mice.

This review highlights the importance of selecting high-quality bioassays in discovering bioactive compounds from marine sources, emphasizing their role in evaluating safety and efficacy during pharmaceutical, food supplement, and cosmetic development.

This study developed the mTurquoise2-Col4a1 mouse model and used fluorescent tagging of collagen IV to offer new insights into basement membrane dynamics during hair follicle budding, revealing that basement membranes are flexible and stable structures in developing skin tissue.

In this study, rat vibrissa follicles transplanted into mice demonstrated survival, partial sympathetic nerve reinnervation, and increased norepinephrine levels 37 days post-implantation, suggesting potential for hair growth despite not returning to normal nerve function.

This review highlights various plant-based and herbal treatments that reportedly help prevent hair loss and encourage hair growth. It also explores the molecular mechanisms, identified plant compounds, recent technologies such as nanoarchitectonics, and patents related to hair growth promotion.

This review concluded that the efficacy of cosmeceutical hair serums for addressing hair loss lies in their use of bioactive peptides and plant compounds, like flavonoids and sterols, that target eight key contributing factors identified in hair loss conditions.

This article reviews how biopolymers are utilized in cosmetics, highlighting their biodegradable and non-toxic properties, recent structural developments, novel applications, and safety considerations in the formulation of skin, hair, and oral care products.

This review describes bioengineering strategies to mimic the natural cell microenvironment in vitro, emphasizing the novel approach of using cell-synthesized extracellular matrix as a scaffold for engineering functional 3D tissues, while highlighting the limitations of exogenous scaffolds in tissue engineering.

In this study, oral Pycnogenol® intake was reported to significantly increase hair density and improve scalp microcirculation in Han Chinese menopausal women over six months.

This study found that 4-aminopyridine significantly enhanced skin wound healing by accelerating wound closure, improving skin architecture, and promoting hair follicle neogenesis and tissue regeneration.

This study found that an anti-atopic lotion containing fucoidan helped heal skin damage in hairless mice with atopic dermatitis by reducing skin thickness and modulating immune responses.

This article reviews treatment options for female-pattern hair loss, noting the limited evidence for most therapies and emphasizing that topical minoxidil remains the only well-supported option despite a significant non-response rate.

This study found that molecular differences in paracrine factors between balding and non-balding hair follicles may enhance understanding of androgen action in hair disorders and potentially inform better treatments.

In this study, researchers used a new method with platelet-rich plasma-loaded microcarriers to enhance dermal papilla cell activity and hair follicle regeneration, achieving significant hair and vessel growth in a mouse model compared to control groups.

In this study, researchers observed that graded calorie restriction in mice led to changes in stable isotope ratios and elemental content in bone collagen and hair keratin, potentially indicating intensified mobilization of endogenous proteins and altered bone collagen structure with increased dietary stress.
