This study examined the follicular unit density in the scalp and beard donor areas of Indian men undergoing hair restoration surgery, reporting mean densities of 78.2/cm² and 49.7/cm² respectively, and proposed guidelines for safe follicular unit extraction.

In this study, hair restoration using follicular unit extraction removed about 35% of donor area hair density, indicating a need for careful consideration of varying donor densities.

This study found that certain non-dermatophytic moulds, specifically *Absidia* sp., *Cladosporium tenuissimum*, and *Aspergillus welwitschiae*, can cause skin symptoms such as discoloration and lesions in albino mice, suggesting potential virulence due to enzyme activity.

This study developed a novel antidandruff shampoo with ketoconazole-coated zinc oxide nanoparticles that showed enhanced antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur compared to standard ketoconazole treatments, suggesting it could be a more effective alternative for dandruff management.

This systematic review found that while green solvent- and natural excipient-based semisolid formulations often show promising efficacy and safety compared to conventional options, the evidence does not currently establish superior stability, highlighting a need for further research on long-term formulation quality.

In this case report, a 2-month-old girl with tinea capitis showed significant improvement after treatment with oral griseofulvin and topical ketoconazole. The study emphasizes the importance of layered diagnostics and systemic therapy for effective management of this fungal scalp infection in infants.

This study reports a rare case of tinea capitis in an adult female, where Malassezia species may facilitate Microsporum canis growth, and successful treatment with oral antifungals led to rash resolution and hair regrowth.

This study reports that in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma, overexpressed S100A4 likely promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cell properties, affecting tumor behavior through its interaction with NMIIA and mutant p53.

In this study, ebastine significantly increased the proliferation of human follicle dermal papilla cells and may contribute to hair regrowth by activating the ERK signaling pathway.

This article discusses advances in hair transplantation techniques, particularly follicular unit extraction (FUE), emphasizing its advantage of avoiding donor site scarring and allowing for short hairstyles.

In this study, researchers analyzed the occipital donor area for hair transplantation among men aged 50–55 with androgenetic alopecia and found that while most subjects met standard safe donor area criteria, individual variations suggest a conservative approach to donor area selection.

This study found that, among Indian men aged 50-55 with androgenetic alopecia, 78% of occipital donor areas fitted standard safe donor area criteria, but 22% did not, indicating a need for tailored selection in hair transplants.

This study found that an injectable hydrogel, SF-g-SDA, outperformed commercial Tegaderm™ in healing wounds, promoting collagen deposition, and enhancing neovascularization in animal models.

In this study, researchers developed an injectable silk fibroin-based hydrogel that enhances wound healing by protecting against oxidative stress and promoting tissue repair, outperforming commercial wound dressing Tegaderm™ in animal models.

This review discusses the evolution and current practices of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) in hair restoration surgery, reporting comparable patient outcomes to Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), though noting controversies in its adoption.

In this report, two Persian cats and their owner with low immunity due to chemotherapy were identified with a rare dermatophytic infection caused by Chrysosporium spp., and the infection improved following fluconazole treatment.

In this study, non-dermatophyte moulds, particularly Aspergillus and Penicillium species, were phenotypically characterized in dogs and cats with suspected mycotic dermatitis, revealing their potential role in dermatological disorders among companion animals and emphasizing the importance of conventional mycological identification techniques.

This study evaluated herbal hair gels made with extracts of flax seed and curry leaves, finding that the formulations offered good texture, stability, and sensory appeal while promoting healthy hair and scalp without irritation, making them suitable for regular use.

This study reports a case of frontal fibrosing alopecia associated with hepatitis C treatment involving interferon and ribavirin.

In this case study, DDS treatment for LABD was complicated by hemolytic anemia and alopecia, suggesting the need for careful monitoring of these potential side effects.

This case report describes a 13-year-old with DSD raised as female, exhibiting hoarseness and clitoral enlargement, with hormonal assessments not indicating common related deficiencies.

This study observed similar D2-40 expression in scarring and nonscarring alopecia, with some increase in scarring cases, suggesting possible Fos-dependent mechanisms, though more research is needed for definitive conclusions.

S-1 treatment led to a complete response in pancreatic cancer with manageable side effects.

In laboratory tests and mouse models, this study found that the novel IPC analog SIG-1451 may offer potent anti-inflammatory effects for treating allergic skin inflammation, potentially outperforming some current therapies in specific inflammatory phases.

This study found that the SAAD-41 is a validated tool for assessing psychosocial outcomes in individuals with alopecia areata, showing strong correlations with established measures of quality of life and coping.

In a retrospective cohort of patients with steroid 5 α-reductase 2 deficiency, this study identified seven novel genetic variants in the SRD5A2 gene, expanding the variant database and contributing to improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for the condition.

This review discusses 46,XY disorders of sex development caused by defects in androgen production and highlights the need for long-term care from experienced multidisciplinary teams, but it reports no new clinical findings.

Dermatologic surgery has greatly improved with new techniques over the years.
