This study reports that persistent chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast cancer patients frequently resembles androgenetic alopecia, and treatment with minoxidil, alone or with antiandrogens, improved hair density in many cases.

Hair loss may link to weaker COVID-19 immunity, suggesting possible need for extra vaccine boost.

This article reviews the characteristics and distribution of alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that overexpression of sPLA2-IIA in homozygous mice resulted in cyclic alopecia, a halt in hair follicle cycling, and impaired wound healing due to complete loss of hair follicle stem cells.

This study found that laser Doppler velocimetry can non-invasively predict topical minoxidil response by correlating scalp blood flow changes with sulfotransferase enzyme activity in women with pattern hair loss.

In this study, researchers observed that acute stress increased levels of the enzyme 5αR2 in the medial prefrontal cortex of male rats, affecting stress reactivity, but this effect was not seen in females.

In this study, fMRI results suggested that mechanical stimulation evoked a stronger prickle sensation comprising both pain and itch on hairy skin compared to glabrous skin.

This case report identifies a novel maternally inherited MBTPS2 variant associated with an expanded phenotypic spectrum of BRESHECK syndrome, including cytopenias, bone marrow fibrosis, and chronic diarrhea.

This case report documented successful full hair regrowth in an 8-year-old with alopecia universalis after oral tofacitinib treatment, but mild headaches led to discontinuation.

This study reviewed the dosages of products approved in Japan from 2003-2010 and found that 28.1% were at different levels than in the U.S., with limited evidence suggesting different clinical responses.

This study demonstrated that FOXO3 influences feather follicle development in goose embryos by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in dermal fibroblasts, resulting in changes to feather size and structure without altering follicle density.

In this study, 70 patients with alopecia areata who received intralesional triamcinolone showed a significant reduction in black dots, yellow dots, broken hair, and tapering hair, while achieving a 60% success rate in hair regrowth.

This study found PRP treatment significantly increased hair count and anagen hairs in male patients with androgenetic alopecia, but there was no correlation between therapeutic response and platelet or growth factor levels.

This study found that both bFGF and herbal extracts significantly induced proliferation in human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells, suggesting their potential for promoting hair growth.

This article reviews the need for multicenter clinical trials to establish reference data for ultrasound screening protocols for Down syndrome and reports no new findings.

In this study, researchers developed and optimized squarticles containing rosuvastatin calcium and found that they promoted hair regrowth in rats within 10 days, showing superior results compared to the standard minoxidil treatment.

This study found that a pro-fibrotic Wnt1/βcatenin injury response is crucial for maintaining cardiac function following acute ischaemic cardiac injury by activating the epicardium and cardiac fibroblasts.

This study found that D-peptide crosslinked MAP hydrogels accelerate skin regeneration and promote adaptive immunity, despite faster scaffold degradation in vivo.

This study reports that topical fish oil treatment in GsdmA3 Dfl/+ mice increased cellular proliferation and macrophages but did not affect COX-2 expression related to psoriasis-like skin changes.

In this N=1 case study, a long-term zero-carbohydrate diet adult male experienced an increase in fasting plasma ascorbic acid from 0.1 mg/dL to 2.0 mg/dL within two months of daily 1 g vitamin C supplementation, along with subjective health improvements.

In this N=1 case study, researchers observed that a 1 g daily dose of vitamin C successfully elevated plasma vitamin C levels in an adult male following a zero-carbohydrate diet, with reported improvements in some health parameters but no gastrointestinal side effects.

In this study, researchers found that the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib helped normalize tissue-specific autoimmunity in APECED patients by reducing inflammation and immune cell accumulation, but it was also linked to subclinical side effects like anemia and weight gain.

This case report observed that applying "Kadi" herbal oils three times daily led to rapid wound healing and excellent cosmetic outcomes in a 10-year-old boy with a deep partial-thickness burn, highlighting "Kadi" as a promising treatment that deserves further investigation through randomized controlled trials.

In this prospective study, ritlecitinib effectively reduced hair loss in patients with severe alopecia areata, with 43.3% of participants achieving a 20 or lower SALT score by week 24, and showed a good midterm safety profile.

In this laboratory study, the researchers reported that an ethnomedicinal hair growth formula from East Nusa Tenggara, incorporating Kemiri, Kembang sepatu, Beringin, Mangkokan, and Waru, demonstrated significant antioxidant activity and effectively stimulated hair growth, suggesting potential development as a natural cosmeceutical.

This study found that the highest antioxidant-activity formulation of the RENTT herbal combination effectively stimulated hair growth in mice and may serve as a natural therapy for chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This source describes vitiligo as a chronic condition marked by the loss of skin pigmentation and discusses leukotrichia, a feature affecting 10% to 60% of cases, which arises from melanocyte loss in hair follicles and appears as well-defined white patches on the skin.
