This journal exclusively publishes detailed, peer-reviewed content on dermatologic surgery but reports no new clinical results itself.

The study suggests low-cost videomicroscopes may identify some hair shaft features but are unreliable for comprehensive scalp trichoscopy compared to standard devices, due to color and resolution limitations.

Opioid use may lower PSA levels, suggesting a possible role in prostate cancer control; PSA testing is useful for detecting prostate cancer; serum triglycerides are not linked to prostate cancer risk; and higher urethral PSA levels may be associated with local hormone activity.

Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.

This review examines the direct-to-consumer genetic testing market, highlighting the available tests, regulatory issues, and calls for increased oversight, and reports no new results.

This study concluded that including ovarian morphology in the diagnosis significantly increases the estimated prevalence of PCOS, revealing substantial variability due to clinical criteria and diagnostic cut-offs.

This paper reviews chemical analysis methods for trace elements in human hair and supports a no-wash policy due to challenges in distinguishing between endogenous and exogenous element sources.

This review discusses the term "skin pore," its different meanings, and current methods to objectively describe skin pores, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that low-fluence 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser treatment effectively improved melasma in Asian patients without serious side effects, achieving an average improvement rate of 50-74%.

This article describes the development and validation of a standardized instrument for measuring skin involvement in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, aiming to aid future clinical research and trials.

This study found that among adolescents with alopecia areata and significant hair loss, treatment with ritlecitinib resulted in greater hair regrowth and self-reported improvement compared to placebo over 48 weeks, with common side effects including headache, acne, and nasopharyngitis.

This review summarizes various indices used to assess disease activity and damage in systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting challenges in universal consensus and their practical applications in research and clinical settings.

This study found moderate to poor agreement among observers assessing ultrasonographic features of polycystic ovaries, suggesting the need for standardized training modules to improve consistency.

This study found thousands of differentially expressed genes and proteins that may be associated with wool growth, suggesting potential gene families involved in hair growth regulation.

The researchers reported that a novel leave-on treatment containing caffeine, niacinamide, panthenol, dimethicone, and an acrylate polymer significantly increased the diameter and improved the mechanical properties of scalp hair fibers, suggesting it may help mitigate thinning hair.

This study observed that frontal plus moderate vertex baldness at age 45 was associated with a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer in a large cohort.

This review discusses the applications and potential of Bioengineered Artificial Skin Substitutes in cosmetics and pharmacology research, with no new clinical findings reported.

This study suggests that common proteomic changes, including the expression of the protein S100A6, may occur during the expansion of AD-MSC from different donors.

This research details a robust method for isolating hair follicle stem cells and epidermal keratinocytes from mouse hair follicles using fluorescence activated cell-sorting technology.

This study developed and validated a mass spectrometric method to measure hydroxy-androgens in serum, which aids in understanding androgen synthesis in castration resistant prostate cancer.

This study reported the development of a novel and reliable liquid chromatographic method to measure testosterone and epitestosterone in human urine, offering sensitive detection for doping control.

This review discusses diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome and highlights the challenges and risks of misdiagnosing women with other hyperandrogenism causes; it reports no clinical results.

This study suggests that for single biopsy specimens, transverse sections may be preferable for diagnosing noncicatricial alopecia, while vertical sections may be better for suspected lichen planopilaris.

This study found that the decision board is a reliable and valid tool for assessing treatment preferences in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, who tended to favor oral medication due to concerns about side effects.

This review found that the DLQI is widely used as a benchmark in the development and validation of dermatology quality-of-life measures.

This study found that genetically variant peptides from human hair can reliably identify individuals despite differences in age and storage conditions, provided environmental and processing factors are controlled.

This systematic review provides an in-depth evaluation of non-invasive imaging and biophysical methods for diagnosing and monitoring vitiligo, emphasizing the need for studies with larger sample sizes to verify their use in clinical practice and research.

This review discusses how recent advancements in computational and lab-based methods have enhanced peptide drug discovery, noting the efficiency and cost benefits over traditional approaches and the potential for targeting difficult protein interactions, including protein degradation using proteolysis-targeting chimeras.

The authors of this study developed a novel CNN architecture aimed at improving detection of Alopecia Areata through image-based datasets, achieving a top accuracy of 98% compared to four other machine learning models.

This study found that human adult dermal fibroblasts can express markers typically associated with neural cells, suggesting potential pitfalls in relying on immunophenotyping alone for cell identity verification.
