The researchers reported that one-third of women with female pattern hair loss in their study had occipital region involvement, which is important for diagnosing and planning treatment, including hair restoration surgery, as the occipital region is often used as a normal reference.

This systematic review concluded that mesotherapy shows potential for improving hair growth outcomes, yet lacks standardized regimens and requires further large-scale trials to establish its efficacy and safe use.

This study mapped copy number variations in Chinese fine-wool sheep, identifying regions linked to important traits like milk production and growth, and highlighting a strong selection signal at the RXFP2 gene.

This study constructed a genomic map of copy number variations in fine-wool sheep, revealing their potential impact on traits like growth, nutrient metabolism, and susceptibility to selection pressures.

This systematic review reports that there is currently no evidence supporting methotrexate for maintaining remission in ulcerative colitis; further large-scale trials are needed to assess its efficacy and safety.

In this study, patients with alopecia areata were found to have a higher risk of stroke over a 3-year follow-up period compared to those without the condition.
