This study found no significant proteomic differences in hair samples across racial or geometric groups in a culturally diverse South African cohort, highlighting the limited value of racial classification in precision medicine.

This study developed a validated gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay to assess sex steroid hormones in cerebrospinal fluid, finding substantial levels of DHEA, androstenedione, and testosterone, with strong correlations to serum levels, providing insight into sex steroid dynamics in the human CNS.

Asthma may increase the risk of alopecia areata.

This study found that hair cortisol did not indicate expected hypercortisolism in acutely underweight anorexia nervosa patients and did not change significantly during short-term weight restoration.

This study found that over 97% of college students at a large Midwestern U.S. university have engaged in pubic hair removal, influenced by demographic and social factors with notable differences in preferences observed across age, gender, Greek Life affiliation, and racial/ethnic groups.

This study developed and validated a reliable method using chromatography and mass spectrometry to accurately measure finasteride levels in human plasma.

This study used Mendelian randomization analysis to identify Scyllo-inositol and Alpha-ketoglutarate as potential protective factors and Heme and 2-palmitoylglycerophosphocholine as risk factors for androgenic alopecia, suggesting a causal link between these metabolites and the condition.

This study found that untargeted hair metabolomics analysis detected significantly altered endogenous biomolecules, potentially serving as biomarkers for identifying oxidative cosmetic hair treatments like bleaching.

In this study, researchers found that massively parallel sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can improve information recovery from forensic samples, with successful full region amplification possible from as few as 2,000 mtDNA copies, albeit with variability in heteroplasmy among hair samples from the same donor.

This study examined the environment and quality of carrots grown in Vietnam, finding that organically grown carrots had lower levels of harmful heavy metals than traditional methods, suggesting organic farming can yield safer, higher-quality carrots.

This study explored how alopecia impacts the socio-emotional lives and daily adaptation of women, finding that while not life-threatening, alopecia initially affects how they adjust to daily routines and perceive social and partner relationships.

This paper reviews delusional infestation, its characteristics, and treatment options, highlighting a case study of a man with a strong belief in a nonexistent lice infestation and recommending low-dose antipsychotics for primary cases.

This study reviews current evidence on the role of ILC3s in the skin, highlighting their potential involvement in responding to microbiome changes such as those associated with acne and suggesting gaps in understanding their mechanisms.

This study found that LC-MS/MS assays provided more reliable and precise steroid measurements in human serum compared to traditional immunoassays, particularly at lower concentrations.

This study found that a high-power triple-wavelength diode laser effectively and safely treated facial hirsutism and follicular disorders in individuals with darker skin tones, showing significant hair reduction without adverse events.

This article outlines methods to study the skin and its molecular traits, focusing on interpretation and techniques applicable to mouse models, including diverse assays and approaches like electron microscopy and large-scale lipid analyses.

This study found significant differences in the spread of sebum on hair among Chinese men with greasy and non-greasy scalps, despite similar sebum amounts at the root region post-shampoo.

This article outlines a protocol for scanning electron microscopy of murine skin and primary keratinocyte monolayers, providing a guide for sample preparation and examination.

This collection of articles in AOGS includes findings on tetranectin as a possible prognostic marker for advanced ovarian cancer, and the effectiveness of tension-free vaginal tape for recurrent stress urinary incontinence.

This study investigated 130 patients and found a significant inverse correlation between copper content and the copper/zinc ratio in hair samples and the extent of coronary artery disease, while zinc content alone showed no significant relationship with disease extent.

This study found that hair samples from chronic tramadol and cannabis users showed positive drug presence for 3-4 months and 6-7 months, respectively, after discontinuation.

This collection of papers reviews recent research on women's skin, focusing on hormonal influences, environmental impacts, and specific skin disorders, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that ATR-FTIR spectroscopy combined with machine learning effectively differentiated alopecia areata patients from healthy controls with an AUC of 0.85, and also showed promise in predicting treatment response, particularly through alterations in the Amide I band.

This study found that repeatedly collecting hair follicles from individuals with fragile X syndrome is feasible for measuring FMR1 and FMRP levels in both home and office settings.

This study found that progesterone levels were higher and increased significantly throughout pregnancy, contrasting with stable levels in non-pregnant women.

This essay discusses telogen effluvium, the issues surrounding its diagnosis and differentiation from other forms of hair loss, and emphasizes the need for empathetic patient care; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that pelage development in male blue foxes born in early June was more synchronized than those born in early May, with differences likely influenced by melatonin levels.

This review discusses the connection between alopecia areata and trace element imbalances, noting deficiencies in elements like zinc and selenium, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study developed a simple method to prepare highly concentrated, resting platelet-rich plasma suitable for cell therapy, effectively preventing clotting while maintaining platelet reactivity and minimizing hemorrhage risk.

Hair follicle samples effectively show how well the drug MK-0752 targets and engages with the Notch pathway.
