September 2016 in “Springer eBooks” This article reports no new data; it describes the role of sebum in influencing the skin microbiome and epithelial tissues and discusses its altered composition during transit through the sebaceous duct.
September 2010 in “Advances in Dermatology and Allergology/Postępy Dermatologii i Alergologii” This study found that the TrichoScan Professional V3.0.8.76 shows high reproducibility in measuring hair count and density but may not be effective for distinguishing hair growth phases in women with androgenetic alopecia.
April 2024 in “Middle East Fertility Society Journal” In this study of infertile Indonesian women with PCOS, researchers found no correlation between hirsutism, body measurements, and sexual dysfunction scores, but noted that hirsutism may be linked to higher anxiety levels.
July 2012 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This article discusses the challenges dermatologists face in treating hair loss, exploring hair fibre diameter and density, and reports no new clinical results.

January 2014 in “Postepy Dermatologii I Alergologii” This study found that increased dihydrotestosterone levels were observed in both androgenetic alopecia patients and controls, suggesting that follicle sensitivity to DHT may be more critical than DHT levels for alopecia development.
13 citations
,
January 2022 in “Microvascular Research” This study found that high-resolution laser speckle contrast imaging devices provide good reproducibility for assessing skin perfusion in mice but not for measuring haemoglobin oxygenation.

,
January 2025 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” In this study, researchers investigated EGCG's spectroscopic properties and its interaction with DPPG lipid, finding that both experimental and theoretical approaches agree on the electronic transitions and reveal an increased absorbance due to molecular interactions.
This review reports that collagen as a nutraceutical shows promising results for improving skin health in estrogen-deficient women, but more research is needed for scalp hair, nail health, and optimal dosing of curcumin and glutathione.
January 2015 in “Indian Journal of Medical Biochemistry” Men with early balding should be checked for metabolic syndrome, as there's a link between the two.
