This study found that during the Covid-19 lockdown, the percentage of abstinent and low-risk alcohol drinkers increased while moderate and chronic drinking decreased compared to the previous four years.

This study explored how an educational intervention on reducing phthalate exposure through hair care product choices influenced the hair care practices of pregnant women of color, identifying key life stages and themes related to these practices, including cultural influences, product impacts, and individual autonomy.

This study assessed minoxidil solubility in propylene glycol and water mixtures, comparing cosolvency models and examining thermodynamic properties, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that undiluted mint leaf extract effectively inhibited multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and killed Culex pipiens larvae, suggesting its potential as a biocontrol strategy around hospitals.

This study analyzes how commercial websites for Propecia depict male hair loss and promote medical treatment, suggesting they contribute to medicalizing a natural condition for profit.

In this study, the authors assessed videos on laryngeal carcinoma across YouTube, Bilibili, and TikTok, finding that TikTok videos, while more interactive, generally offered less information and lower quality, with YouTube videos ranking highest in quality but all platforms needing improvement in professional content creation.

This study demonstrates that an AI-based grading framework using a novel area ratio metric improves the accuracy and consistency of male pattern hair loss classification, especially in advanced grades, compared to traditional methods.

This Mendelian randomization study suggests possible bidirectional causal links between alopecia and sleep characteristics, but findings require cautious interpretation due to multiple testing, highlighting the need for further research to explore underlying mechanisms and broader applicability.

In this study, researchers found that bulge cells in mouse hair follicles undergo transient proliferation during early anagen, indicating their role as follicular stem cells. However, another factor beyond dermal papilla proximity may be required to initiate a new anagen phase.

In this study, researchers found that taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana supplements for five days altered the urinary steroid profile in a way that may interfere with the steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport.

This study identified three patient groups based on the psychological and social impact of vitiligo, with the most affected group experiencing severe psychosocial burdens despite often having mild physician-reported disease severity.

This study found that sex bias exists in dermatological research, with 60% of articles not reporting the sex of cells or animals and a disproportionate use of male cells and animals when known.

This study identified the AtPRPL1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana as being involved in cell elongation processes, despite unclear changes in cell wall composition from its altered expression.

This study identified trilauric glyceride and decanoylcarnitine as potential biomarkers for diagnosing PCOS in patients with and without insulin resistance, suggesting significant metabolic alterations in these conditions.

This study demonstrated that a flow injection method using potassium permanganate for detecting minoxidil provided accurate recoveries and agreed closely with HPLC results, showing potential for effective analysis of commercial samples.

This review discusses five genetic fate mapping methods used to study cell behaviors during development and regeneration, detailing the necessary tools and considerations without reporting new experimental results.

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.

This study concluded that the process of mummification disfigures facial features, making identification challenging, but commercial shrunken heads retain more defining features compared to ceremonial ones.

This study estimates that young adults have about 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervating their skin, with density varying by region and decreasing with age.

This study suggests that an in ovo injection of CHIR-99021 promoted feather growth and follicle development in goose embryos by activating the Wnt signaling pathway.

In this narrative review, the authors highlighted that AI-supported electronic health record analysis could help recognize Polycystic Ovary Syndrome/Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome earlier, but also warned that these systems might perpetuate historical biases if not properly validated and interpreted.

Innovative methods are reducing animal testing and improving biomedical research.

This study identifies mutations in the SRD5A3 gene as a cause of a new type of congenital disorder of glycosylation, impacting mental, ophthalmologic, and cerebellar functions.

This study demonstrated that modified montmorillonites combined with bacterial cellulose enhanced antimicrobial, wound healing, and tissue regenerative activities in a burn mice model, suggesting potential as an artificial skin substitute for burn patients.

This guide reviews the biology of sebaceous glands and their evaluation methods, emphasizing their roles beyond lipid production in skin health and disease, and reports no new research results.

In this study, Alox15 knockout mice exhibited disrupted skin integrity and increased inflammation, suggesting that Alox15-mediated resolvin D2 production is crucial for maintaining skin homeostasis by suppressing inflammation.

This study used integrated single-cell chromatin and transcriptomic analyses in developing mouse skin to uncover gene networks involved in skin lineage specification and identified Mef2c+ upper fibroblasts as potential precursors to certain muscle-like structures, with cross-species findings in human skin.

This prospective observational study investigated 200 patients with non-scarring alopecia, concluding that accurate classification combined with individualized treatment, including combination therapies, significantly improved outcomes over monotherapy with topical minoxidil.

This study identified 16 novel high sulfur KAP genes and two KAP pseudogenes on chromosome 21q23, showing expression in a specific region of the hair fiber cuticle.

This study found that the ethyl acetate fraction of Hibiscus rosa sinensis petals significantly reduced serum glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels in diabetic rats, showing effects comparable to the standard drug metformin.
