This study reports that actively proliferating Lgr5+ stem cells in hair follicles do not appear to drive tumor formation in experimental skin carcinogenesis.

This study reveals that β-catenin and retinoic acid are key regulators in the gene networks controlling the fate of skin appendages, such as scales and feathers.

This study found that dutasteride treatment in pregnant mares significantly increased progesterone concentrations but did not alter gestational length or neonatal outcomes.

This study found that using an aqueous solution of AMPD in hair bleach reduced both hair damage and odor compared to ammonium hydroxide.

This study found that both PHDPE and ePTFE hair-bearing scaffolds were well tolerated in a rat model, with minimal infection or extrusion, though artificial hair showed progressive loss over time.

This study found that low-temperature rendering of black beans, peony, and green tea extracts retains higher antioxidant properties and effectively supports scalp health by strengthening follicles and moisturizing the scalp.

This study explored chitosan-based dissolving microneedle arrays loaded with Agave tequilana root extract, finding that extract concentration influenced microneedle geometry and bioactivity, maintaining antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory effects while reducing collagenase inhibition, particularly in the 0.25% formulation.

This study evaluated the effects of sun drying and solar drying on Chaya leaves, finding that solar drying better preserves chlorophyll and phytochemicals while maintaining comparable nutritional quality to sun drying, suggesting its adoption could improve shelf life and maintain quality in areas without refrigeration.

This study explores Unani and modern medical perspectives on hirsutism, highlighting similarities in their understanding of its connection with amenorrhea and hyperandrogenism, and suggests further integrative research.

Solid Lipid Particle technology makes retinol more stable, effective, and gentle on the skin.

In this case report, researchers observed that scalp cooling during chemotherapy with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide allowed a pregnant breast cancer patient to preserve nearly all her hair, suggesting such treatment may be a safe and effective option for managing chemotherapy-related hair loss during pregnancy.

This report describes a case of pilonidal omphalitis in a 15-year-old boy, highlighting the importance of considering this condition when young adolescents with significant hair growth present with umbilical discharge, and concludes that a thorough treatment is necessary to prevent extended disease progression.

This study found that tissue transcriptomics and a normalization approach can effectively cluster nine inflammatory skin diseases and identify specific biomarkers, including PTEN as a marker for cutaneous lupus erythematosus.

The authors concluded that burned skin contains viable mesenchymal stem cells which enhance wound healing in animal models without altering key biological functions due to burn trauma.

This review explores historical and cultural perspectives on human hair's significance and reports no clinical findings on its function or health impact.

This paper reviews Dr. Norman Orentreich's original work on androgenetic alopecia and the principle of "donor dominance," without reporting new research results.

This study found that spironolactone reduced serum androstenedione and anagen hair shaft diameter in hirsute patients but did not significantly alter unbound testosterone levels, suggesting its effects are primarily peripheral.

This review presents European guidelines for treating tinea capitis, noting systemic antifungals are essential, with griseofulvin preferred for Microsporum infections and newer antifungals viable for Trichophyton but often costlier.

This review discusses current knowledge and management strategies for chemotherapy-induced alopecia, highlighting the need for better research prioritization and providing patient support materials, but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that keratose hydrogels sustained ciprofloxacin release over three weeks and inhibited Staphylococcus aureus growth in vitro for 23 days and in mice for 2 weeks.

This study found that women with PCOS have elevated serum androgen levels throughout adulthood, with these levels decreasing and variations increasing as they approach menopause.

This study found that dexamethasone significantly reduced ERα mRNA levels and increased aromatase mRNA and activity in cultured human hair follicle dermal papilla cells, suggesting a glucocorticoid-dependent mechanism for estradiol action.

This study found that men with rapidly progressive male pattern baldness had elevated serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels, suggesting that adrenal hyperactivity may contribute to alopecia in genetically susceptible young men.

This review discusses the unique pharmacokinetic limitations of terbinafine in children with tinea capitis and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for consideration of these factors in future studies.

This article reviews clinical and histopathological aspects of cutaneous lupus erythematosus and its treatment, emphasizing the importance of photoprotection and outlining current therapies, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that adrenal sex hormone levels were elevated in neutered dogs with hypercortisolemia, except for testosterone, highlighting the importance of ruling out hypercortisolemia when diagnosing adrenal hyperplasia syndrome.

This study found that high doses of irradiation can cause permanent hair loss in rats by destroying the epithelial elements of the hair follicle, while leaving the dermal papilla intact and capable of inducing new hair growth upon transplantation.

This study describes how shotgun proteomics can identify over 300 proteins in hair shafts, potentially allowing for the diagnosis of diseases through noninvasive human proteome sampling.

This study found that male liver cirrhosis patients have higher estradiol levels and lower dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, leading to hormonal imbalances favoring estradiol, but without changing sex hormone-binding globulin's binding properties.

In this study, in vitro growth of human hair follicles did not alter hair keratin expression patterns, maintaining follicle integrity and proper keratinization similar to in vivo conditions.
