This study reports that folliculitis decalvans and lichen planopilaris phenotypic spectrum is an underdiagnosed form of cicatricial alopecia, potentially treatable with anti-inflammatory drugs used for lichen planopilaris.

Biopsies matched initial diagnoses in 76.6% of black women with alopecia and led to treatment changes in 44% of cases.

This study found that DPCP immunotherapy effectively treats alopecia areata, identifying factors that influence treatment response and patient satisfaction, which may aid in standardizing the treatment for improved outcomes.

This study developed innovative silica/natural polysaccharide hybrid nanoparticles encapsulating plant-derived 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, reporting effective controlled release at hair follicle pH and lower cytotoxicity, suggesting a promising delivery system for antiandrogenic treatments.

This study observed that maize plants, including a root hairless mutant variety, did not exhibit typical root growth or compensatory foraging behavior under severe boron deficiency in soil, indicating atypical responses compared to other plants.

This study found that psoriasis patients on biologic therapy had significantly lower anti-COVID19 IgG antibody levels after vaccination compared to healthy individuals not on biologic treatment.

This study found that inhibiting the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier in human hair follicles ex vivo activated the integrated stress response, affecting cell proliferation and metabolism.

This study suggests that human dermal papilla cells respond to hypoxia by increasing the expression of HIFs, TGF-β2, and BMP4, which may influence hair cycle regulation.

This report details a 6-year-old girl with adrenocortical cancer presenting with voice changes, weight gain, and excessive hair growth, successfully treated with surgery and medication, with symptoms resolved after 6 months.

This study suggests that a third Covid-19 vaccine dose is necessary to maintain protection, especially among immune-compromised individuals and those with comorbidities, emphasizing the urgent need for vaccine access in less developed regions.

In this case report, a 9-year-old boy with diffuse alopecia areata showed improvement with topical diphencyprone immunotherapy, suggesting it as a safe and effective treatment option in pediatric cases of alopecia areata resistant to other therapies.

This study reported that GA 0.1% spray led to only slight improvement in treating anogenital warts among HIV-positive patients over twelve weeks.

This study found that lateral root formation in plants in response to L. bicolor volatiles involves complex signaling processes, potentially including unknown proteins, CRKs, and ABA pathways.

This review discusses the dynamic behavior of immune cells in skin immune responses using intravital imaging in mice and reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that epidermal turnover could be a regulated mechanism of iron excretion, with systemic iron levels influencing keratinocyte behavior and differentiation markers in the skin.

This study found that yellow dots seen under dermatoscopy are a sensitive and specific indicator of treatment response in alopecia areata, showing significant reduction as early as four weeks.

This study found that while iron supplements are generally well tolerated by patients with anemia, their clinical benefit in those without iron deficiency is modest.

This study found that handheld dermoscopes with polarized light can be beneficial in assessing treatment success in alopecia areata by revealing changes in trichoscopic features like thinning hairs and short terminal hairs.

This review discusses the evidence for biotin supplementation in treating hair loss, concluding that its benefits are poorly supported by data and advising against routine use without more compelling future trials.

This study found that Mdm2 is critical for limiting p53 activity to maintain normal stem cell function in mouse skin, with impacts on tissue homeostasis and aging.

There is no abstract available for this article on the effects of percutaneous oestradiol implants on the skeletons of postmenopausal women, and thus no new findings are reported.

Mouse hair cells respond to male hormones by growing less, and this can be stopped by certain blockers.

Minoxidil helps hair grow and stand up.

In this study, a copper-deficient diet in rats led to a significant decrease in blood and liver copper levels without causing clinical symptoms, while hair leachable copper and bone copper remained unchanged.

This study found that horses living in lowland areas had higher physiological responses (heart rate, respiration, body temperature) compared to those in highland and coastal areas, with good overall health reported across all regions.

This review discusses the role of neuroactive steroids in physiological processes and their potential involvement in neuropsychiatric disorders, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This study suggests that the exercise-induced cytokine IL-15 can improve wound healing in aged skin, along with previously reported benefits on skin structure and mitochondrial function.

This study reported that platelet-rich plasma injections led to only temporary improvement in vellus hair characteristics in temporal triangular alopecia, suggesting it may not be an effective long-term treatment.

This study found that oral finasteride is safe, well tolerated, and effective in improving hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia, with noticeable benefits seen as early as three months into treatment.
