This study found that the subtilisin protease Sub3 from Microsporum canis is essential for adherence to the feline epidermis but is not necessary for invading epidermal structures.

The study suggests that a 3D culture system using the RAD16-I peptide scaffold can help restore the original phenotype of hair follicle dermal papilla cells and support their osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation.

This study found two patterns of Type 2 SLE symptoms: Intermittent symptoms resolving with Type 1 symptom remission and Persistent symptoms continuing regardless of Type 1 symptom activity.

This study found that hair proteome profiling and genetically variant peptide identification in hairs remained effective after an explosive blast, indicating potential for forensic human identification despite damage.

Low quality of life and high HSS-29 scores increase risk of losing patients during treatment.

This study found that African-American and Hispanic patients with systemic lupus erythematosus reported higher levels of unmet psychological needs and may be more prone to depression and anxiety due to SLE-related challenges.

In this study, a strong correlation was found between the scores of two dermatology-specific quality of life instruments, DLQI and Skindex-16, suggesting they can provide complementary insights for assessing patients with skin diseases.

This report presents gene set enrichment scores for hair follicle compartments using tape strip and bulk biopsy methods, providing statistical data but no new experimental findings.

This table reports gene set enrichment analysis scores for hair follicle compartments across diseases and sampling methods, providing comparisons but no new experimental findings.

This letter highlights that the effectiveness of skin self-photography for melanoma detection has not been evaluated, although it could be a cost-effective option for patients without access to professional skin photography.

In this study, a modified Sinclair scale was presented for evaluating hair loss severity in men with female pattern hair loss, outlining stages from normal hair density to severe hair loss while preserving the anterior hairline. Reliability data for using this scale was also included.

The document concludes that rapid identification, isolation, and strict infection control are crucial to manage SARS outbreaks.

This study found that the modified FACE-Q scales are effective for measuring patient satisfaction after hair transplantation, showing increased appearance satisfaction and perceived youthfulness six months post-surgery.
