This study found that local refinement of hair follicles into higher order patterns can occur without the core planar cell polarity system, but global alignment with body axes requires its function throughout development and regeneration.

In this study, researchers observed that the sexual effects of dihydrotestosterone deprivation using finasteride may vary by handedness, with right-handed men often experiencing lower sexual function and left-handed men showing no effect or improvement.

This study developed an efficient method for converting polymeric procyanidins into high-purity oligomeric procyanidins using a semisynthetic approach combined with separation techniques.

This study suggests that behavior modification, semistarvation ketogenic regimens, and surgical therapy could be experimental approaches for different degrees of obesity, with their efficacy varying by the degree of weight excess.

This study identified distinct gene expression programs in keratinocytes responsible for forming hard scales and soft interscale epidermis in chickens, revealing conserved differentiation genes similar to those in human skin.

This study developed a new measurement procedure using isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for accurate quantification of DHEAS in human serum or plasma, demonstrating high selectivity, sensitivity, and low measurement uncertainty, making it suitable for routine standardization and clinical evaluation.

This study found that mange was the most common cause of alopecia in dogs, with cases being more prevalent during the summer and among dogs less than one year old.

This study validated a Spanish version of the Hair Specific Skindex 29 scale for assessing quality of life in women with female androgenetic alopecia, showing similar psychometric properties to the original.

In this study, analyzing over 400 million tweets revealed a broader and milder spectrum of COVID-19 symptoms than clinical research, and illustrated symptom evolution and co-occurrence throughout the pandemic.

This study validated the Black Identity, Hair Product Use, and Breast Cancer Scale (BHBS) as a tool to measure social and cultural factors related to hair product use and perceived breast cancer risk in Black women.

Tailoring COVID-19 measures to risk levels in the military improves health and readiness.

This letter discusses existing research and encourages further studies on the relationship between androgenetic alopecia and COVID-19 severity, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that the health state utility of moderate facial angiofibroma in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex patients is significantly lower compared to almost-clear facial angiofibroma, indicating that treatment for the condition can substantially improve quality of life.

This study noted that among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, androgenetic alopecia was prevalent, and severe cases were associated with adverse outcomes such as respiratory failure, highlighting a possible link with androgen sensitivity.

In this study, researchers found that severe androgenic alopecia in hospitalized men was associated with a higher likelihood of testing positive for COVID-19.

This letter discusses how severe baldness in men is associated with higher risk of severe COVID-19, and highlights research suggesting antiandrogen medications may improve outcomes.

Oral minoxidil effectively reduces hair shedding in women with chronic telogen effluvium.

Oral minoxidil significantly reduces hair shedding in women with chronic telogen effluvium.

PRP treatment showed no hair regrowth improvement after the first application in patients with alopecia.

This study developed and evaluated a photographic scale to assess CCCA pattern and severity in African American women, finding it reproducible when used by investigators and participants.

Dermoscopy helped diagnose discoid lupus erythematosus in two patients without needing skin biopsies.

Wearing wigs or hairpieces improves self-esteem, adaptability, and competence in women with alopecia areata.

This study identified three new genetic loci associated with PCOS and found a similar genetic structure across different diagnostic criteria, suggesting a genetic basis for shared metabolic traits and potential causal links to other conditions.

This study found that topical 0.05% betamethasone dipropionate was the most effective treatment for patients with patchy alopecia areata, with less than 25% hair loss, over a 12-week period, compared to other topical treatments.

Hamilton scale imprecise, hair shaft diameter decreases, stem cell transplant regrows hair, ECP ineffective for alopecia areata universalis.

Androgenetic alopecia may be irreversible due to the detachment of a muscle from hair follicles.

This review discusses strategies for developing semi-solid topical generic products to match the quality of reference-listed drugs, using concepts like quality by design and reverse-engineering, but reports no new results.

In this study, a new shading model for hair was developed that better matches real-life light scattering, thanks to detailed new measurements of hair fiber scattering not predicted by existing models.

This study introduced a new hair shading model that more accurately simulates light scattering on hair fibers, capturing effects not predicted by previous models.

This study concluded that dermoscopy enhances the diagnostic capability for cicatricial alopecia beyond clinical inspection and identified novel dermoscopic features such as blue-grey dots.
