This study reported that trichoscopy can identify specific hair shaft abnormalities linked to increased serological activity, highlighting its use as a valuable non-invasive diagnostic tool in pediatric dermatology for neonates with ECS.

This study observed that treating human hair with NaOH led to partially removed cuticles, resulting in better fiber cohesion and mechanical properties similar to wool, unlike bleach or formic acid treatments, which weakened the fibers.

In this study, keratin‐based hydrogels incorporating calcium ions were developed to effectively deliver atorvastatin, showing potential for localized anti‐fibrotic therapy through controlled drug release and maintaining drug bioactivity in vitro, supported by thorough physicochemical and mechanical characterization.

Among patients with biopsy-proven FAPD in specialized hair clinics, this study found the condition is common in females around 52.5 years old, with treatment generally stabilizing or slightly improving hair loss, despite challenges in differentiating FAPD from androgenetic alopecia.

Bicalutamide may reduce hair shedding in women but needs longer trials to confirm its effectiveness.

This study found that early postnatal androgen activity affects the long-term expression of hormone receptors differently in female Wistar rats, influencing neural system programming during development.

This observational study conducted in an Indian hospital found that autoimmune conditions, particularly alopecia areata, were the most prevalent scalp dermatoses among 152 patients, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment to address both physical and psychological impacts.

This observational study found that while 96.6% of patients using valproic acid showed the expected clinical response, over half experienced adverse reactions like weight gain, hair loss, and hepatotoxicity, highlighting the need for personalized treatment approaches to minimize these side effects.

Spironolactone helps prevent swelling caused by minoxidil in women with hair loss.

This study found that oral minoxidil can improve hair and eyebrow growth and increase the density of the frontotemporal hairline in patients with FFA, though adverse effects were reported by a third of participants.

In this case series study, two Peruvian women with virilizing ovarian tumors called Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors showed clinical improvement and normalization of androgens after surgical treatment, highlighting the diagnostic challenge of these rare presentations at different ages.

This study found that hair with lower levels of keratin associated proteins reduced the foreign body response in mouse subcutaneous implant tests compared to hair with higher keratin levels.

This study examines the effects of excessive or prolonged exposure to blue light on retinal function and highlights its potential health implications, noting that both photoreceptor and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are particularly sensitive to blue wavelengths.

This study on male rats found that finasteride treatment led to the differential expression of several genes in the hypothalamus and hippocampus, hinting at potential links to observed side effects like depression, anxiety, and cognitive disturbances.

This study observed that inhibiting androgenic activity during early postnatal development significantly decreased body weight in female rats by day 90, while affecting food intake and fat distribution in both sexes based on the inhibited testosterone metabolic pathway.

This report describes a case study of a 23-year-old female exhibiting multiple trichodiscomas, a type of benign tumor of the hair follicular discs common in familial cases and potentially linked to Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, though genetic testing was not performed due to financial constraints.

This study evaluated low dose oral minoxidil as a treatment for female pattern hair loss but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Italian nurses who worked night shifts, in non-COVID wards, and reported regular meal intake were more likely to contract SARS-CoV-2.

This study found that the HoxC gene cluster is crucial for the development of hair and nails in mice, with key regulation by two mammalian-specific enhancers.

This study described four adult male cases of Kennedy disease with typical neurological symptoms and noted gynecomastia as the most frequent endocrinological manifestation, accompanied by an abnormal expansion in the androgen receptor gene.

This report describes two cases where lichen planopilaris compromised hair follicles in both donor and recipient areas after follicular unit transplantation, emphasizing the need for a biopsy if lichen planopilaris is suspected.

In this study, minoxidil 2% produced satisfactory esthetical results in about 30% of patients, but placebo-treated subjects experienced increased hair counts without a cosmetic benefit, possibly due to seasonal variations and hair classification issues.

This study found that dutasteride mesotherapy increased the diameter of existing hair in five Mexican men with androgenetic alopecia, without reported side effects.

This study demonstrated that multipotent stem cells in adult mice whisker follicles migrate to produce whisker growth, and that this process requires precise control of stem cell trafficking.

This review discusses the therapeutic potential of adipose-derived stem cells compared to other mesenchymal stem cells, emphasizing their promise in treating neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and autoimmune diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that super-enhancers are essential for hair follicle stem cell identity, lineage commitment, and plasticity in mice, with SOX9 being a key regulator of these chromatin dynamics.

This study found that rat whisker follicle stem cells can be expanded in culture and transplanted to form functional hair follicles, demonstrating their multipotency and potential for regenerative medicine.

This paper discusses the potential roles of adipose tissue derived stem cells in skin regeneration and wound healing but emphasizes the need for further research on their effectiveness in clinical settings.

This review discusses advances in understanding mammalian stem cell niches, particularly in bone marrow, tooth, and hair follicle, and highlights the potential for developing therapies targeting these niches for tissue repair.
