This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride led to morphological and functional kidney damage in rats, with more severe effects observed in the dutasteride group.

In this study, ceruloplasmin and keratin 4 were identified as markers that differentiate between growing and resting phases in cashmere goat hair follicles, with keratin 4 being a potential marker for the onset of a new hair cycle.

This study established methods to isolate, culture, and expand rat hair follicle stem cells, which showed good proliferation and could serve as a cell source for tissue-engineered applications.

This study found that during dialysis, lower plasma-potassium levels were associated with hyperglycemia, suggesting potassium correction is vital when using glucose-rich dialysate.

The supplement may improve hair growth and quality in women with mild to moderate hair loss.

This study found that transthyretin and megalin expression in human scalp hair follicles varies significantly with the hair growth cycle, peaking during anagen and diminishing in catagen and telogen phases.

This study developed an automated image analysis framework for diagnosing hair disorders using trichoscopic images, reporting a Random Forest classifier as having an 86.67% accuracy in distinguishing between different scalp pathologies based on quantitative image features.

This study demonstrates that the newly developed portable reflectance confocal microscope (PRCM) offers real-time, noninvasive monitoring of wound healing processes by visualizing skin morphology in both mice and humans.

In this study on Drosophila wings, researchers identified 435 genes with significant expression changes during wing hair morphogenesis, and found new phenotypes for 9 genes through functional validation.

This correspondence comments on the unknown prevalence of permanent alopecia following high-dose docetaxel chemotherapy and highlights the need for further understanding and prevention strategies.

This case report describes a 62-year-old woman diagnosed with undifferentiated connective tissue disease and renal amyloidosis, presenting symptoms like joint pain, Raynaud's phenomenon, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

This study shows that environmental contamination affects mummy hair, suggesting that using it to assess ancient people's health or nutrition should be approached cautiously.

This study found that sonography and electron microscopy revealed distinct abnormalities in hair follicle morphology in patients with androgenetic alopecia, which may aid in diagnosing and managing the condition.

This study examined variations in epidermal thickness and protein expression across different dog breeds, finding significant differences by anatomical site and breed, with associated mRNA and protein expression changes observed.

The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.

This study introduced a new high-throughput method for analyzing scalp hair morphology and found that quantifying hair form provides more accurate information than traditional classification based on racial categories, challenging the belief that cross-sectional morphology predicts hair curvature.

In this study, researchers examined 1,000 South Asian patients misusing topical corticosteroids for dermatophytosis and found that this misuse resulted in atypical, chronic, and recurrent fungal infections called steroid-modified dermatophytosis, often involving extensive and atypical skin presentations.

This study presents a new approach to automatically remove hair artifacts from dermoscopic images, which reportedly performed well compared to existing methods like DullRazor using the PH2 datasets.

In this study, after long-term observation of human scalp hair follicles over 16 years, the researchers found that a topical 5% minoxidil solution could stimulate hair regrowth after a period of dormancy, though with reduced growth rates and hair diameter.

This review discusses the natural habitat, taxonomy, phytochemical components, pharmacological activities, and potential medical applications of Tridax procumbens but reports no new experimental findings.

This study developed a protocol for acellular dermal matrix manufacturing from pig skin, demonstrating effective removal of cellular components while preserving the collagen scaffold's structural organization through a series of physical and chemical treatments.

This study investigated the tensile response and morphological changes of different ethnic hair types using AFM, showing variations between virgin, chemically damaged, and conditioner-treated Caucasian hair under different conditions.

In this study, researchers observed that the combination of hair progenitors and their micro-niche changes every three days in mouse zigzag hair, and disruptions in specific genes affected this rhythm, highlighting the importance of this periodic change for normal hair morphology.

This study found that examining hair morphology provides deeper insights than classification, suggesting a potential population stratification artefact between hair curvature and cross-sectional shapes in the examined admixed African-European sample.

This study investigated a severe outbreak of mange in a goat herd in North Goa and found that treatment with Ivermectin and other supplements led to complete recovery, highlighting the need for preventive measures in hot, humid regions.

This study found that children with cancer showed more deviation from typical facial morphology compared to healthy controls, although the differences were not enough to distinguish patients from controls based on facial asymmetry alone.

This review discusses cyclosporine A's mechanisms of action and side effects compared to tacrolimus in renal transplantation, but it reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight implications for cardiovascular risk management.

In a real-world registry study, ripretinib showed effectiveness with a median progression-free survival of 7.70 months and a tolerable safety profile in Chinese patients using it as a fourth-line treatment for advanced GIST, particularly benefiting those with non-gastric tumors.

This study demonstrated that genetic markers can predict human ear morphology with moderate to good accuracy, potentially aiding forensic identification in crime scene investigations where traditional DNA matches are unavailable.

This pharmacovigilance study identified 19 drugs with high potential risk for causing male infertility, including hormonal agents, antineoplastic drugs, and antidepressants, emphasizing the need for fertility counseling and possible sperm cryopreservation in reproductive-age males before using such treatments.
