This study found that Malassezia globosa, a scalp-associated fungus linked to dandruff, grows with saturated but not unsaturated fatty acids, potentially causing unsaturated fatty acid accumulation on the scalp and triggering dandruff-like flaking in susceptible individuals.

This study suggests that apremilast shows prolonged efficacy for up to 2 years in hidradenitis suppurativa patients who initially responded to the treatment, although further verification in a larger cohort is needed.

Apremilast was not effective in treating moderate-to-severe alopecia areata.

In a cell-free test setting, this study found that a novel saw palmetto extract effectively inhibited the 5α-reductase type II enzyme, showing promising bioactivity comparable to finasteride for promoting prostate health.

In this study, researchers identified compound 30a as a promising topical androgen receptor antagonist that promoted hair growth in mouse models of androgenetic alopecia without noticeable toxicity, suggesting its potential for treating this hair loss condition.

This report describes a rare case of papular atrichia in a 4-year-old girl, highlighting the absence of effective treatment to stimulate hair growth for this condition.

This abstract provides a graphic illustrating that mice lacking the Sgk3 gene exhibit thin coats and abnormal hair, suggesting a role for Sgk3 kinase in hair follicle growth, but reports no new experimental findings.

The researchers reported that the SAGI PGP procedure resulted in excess weight loss of over 90% in the first year and normalized blood sugar levels without medication among diabetic patients by the first month post-operation.

This study found that the IGF2 gene Apa1 A820G polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of developing PCOS in the studied population.

This study found that oil extracted from Prinsepia utilis seeds is physicochemically stable and suitable for use in manufacturing ketoconazole soap, which met quality control standards and may provide a cost-effective alternative to expensive additives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.

In this study, the researchers found that a paste made from Elaeocarpus serratus and Psidium guajava leaves significantly reduced dandruff symptoms, with more than 40% of patients experiencing complete remission and 30% showing marked improvement, without any adverse reactions during the one-month treatment period.

In this study, the KPAI and KP-IGA scoring systems for assessing keratosis pilaris showed excellent interrater and intrarater reliability, offering standardized measures for clinical and research use.

This study found that polysaccharide extracts from ginseng, green tea, shiitake, and aloe vera effectively protected human follicle dermal papilla and keratinocyte cells by promoting cell proliferation or inhibiting apoptosis, suggesting potential for these extracts as ingredients in cosmetics or pharmaceuticals to prevent hair loss.

PDE inhibitors, especially PDE4 inhibitors like apremilast, are effective for certain inflammatory skin conditions but have side effects and can be costly.

This review discusses fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and highlights diagnostic features, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the value of trichoscopy and histology in diagnosis.

This study found that 4-aminopyridine significantly improves skin wound healing by enhancing various cellular and molecular processes, suggesting its potential for rapid translational development in wound treatment.

SFRP-4 might be an early indicator of diabetes and hypertension in men with androgenic alopecia.

This study found that mature leaves of Japanese 'Saijo' persimmon have the highest ascorbic acid levels, whereas polyphenol levels were high in both mature leaves and adventitious shoots but low in young shoots.

This study identified nine pathogenic variants in the PADI3 gene, and variants in the S100A3 and TCHH genes, which may disrupt protein function and contribute to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This study found that a phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitor promoted hair growth in human dermal papilla cells and stimulated anagen induction in mice, suggesting potential as a treatment for alopecia.

This article discusses the factors contributing to acne and reports no new findings, focusing on the role of sebaceous lipids and associated processes.

This study found that a 5% concentration of snail mucus shampoo was most effective in promoting hair growth in rabbits compared to lower concentrations.

This study found that collagen sponges with polyglycolic acid fibers support proper skin and hair follicle restructuring, suggesting potential usefulness for hair reconstitution research and clinical applications.

In this study, Trapa bispinosa Roxb. pericarp extract demonstrated inhibitory effects on 5α-reductase activity both in vitro using LNCaP cells and in vivo in a mouse model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting its potential role in managing the condition.

This case report describes a patient with SLE and APLS who developed basaloid follicular hamartomas, which persisted despite aggressive treatment for SLE, although hair regrowth occurred.

In this study, the researchers used molecular docking to identify Erythrabyssin II from Erythrina subumbrans as a potential candidate for anti-alopecia treatment, comparable to minoxidil, suggesting clinical trials are needed to evaluate its pharmacological effects.

This study developed a partially automated protocol utilizing hair follicles for DNA extraction in marmosets, achieving reliable whole genome sequencing with low chimerism, offering an efficient alternative to blood for genetic studies in non-human primates.

This study examined a shampoo containing chili pepper extract and biopolymer microspheres for hair loss treatment, finding that it was well tolerated by volunteers, particularly due to the exfoliation sensation.

This study evaluated the antifungal activity of lemongrass oil in anti-dandruff gel shampoo formulations and found that a 10% lemongrass oil concentration was the most effective at inhibiting the growth of the dandruff-causing fungus Pityrosporum ovale.

In this study, the researchers discovered that specific polyamine depletion enhances stemness in hair follicle stem cells through a mechanism independent of mRNA translation.
