In this case study, a 29-year-old woman with Pseudopelade of Brocq, a type of scarring alopecia, showed significant hair density improvement following a combination of scalp reduction surgery and concentrated growth factor injections postoperatively, which addressed scar complications and inflammation.

This study developed a herbal hair serum using Embelia ribes seed extract, finding it exhibited promising antifungal properties and appropriate characteristics for scalp application, indicating potential as a natural hair care product.

This study found that post-finasteride syndrome patients showed a tissue-specific methylation pattern of the SRD5A2 promoter in cerebrospinal fluid, potentially affecting neuroactive steroid levels and related behavioral symptoms.

This study found that hair follicle-plugging reduced skin permeation of certain model drugs, with effects varying based on EtOH pretreatment and the drug being evaluated.

This study reported that a new sulfur paste formulation with added plant extract and propolis effectively treated scabies in rabbits by promoting rapid tissue regeneration, hair growth, and eliminating secondary infections, offering a more affordable and less irritating alternative to commercial treatments.

This article mentions that the slot correction technique by Dr. Patrick Frechet has been a valuable tool in the author's 100% hair restoration surgery practice but does not provide new clinical results.

This study investigated a gelatin-based bioink for 3D bioprinting a simplified skin model, finding that a formulation with 15% gelatin and 150 mM calcium chloride supported a homogeneous distribution of viable cells over 14 days, showing promise for drug evaluation applications.

This review discusses micro-segmental hair analysis for forensic toxicology, emphasizing its potential to provide detailed drug distribution profiles and its application in investigations, while noting the method's limitations and future perspectives.

In this case report, a 16-year-old African American girl with sebaceous filaments on her face was successfully treated with topical tretinoin, highlighting the importance of recognizing and treating this under-reported condition for improved appearance and quality of life.

This study evaluated a menthol-based microemulsion for transdermal delivery of finasteride and silodosin, finding that it enhanced skin permeation and flux compared to aqueous solutions, suggesting a promising method for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This research explores developing liposomal formulations to enhance the delivery of difficult-to-absorb agents directly to hair follicles and sebaceous glands, with minoxidil and plasmid DNA as study molecules.

This study reports a new method for efficiently isolating hair papillae and follicle epithelium from human scalp specimens but presents no clinical results.

This study found that the liposomal Sesbania grandiflora formulation significantly improved hair and scalp health in adults with hair loss compared to placebo over 180 days, enhancing factors such as hair density, thickness, growth rate, and tensile strength, with no related adverse events reported.

This study developed a prototype pneumatic dual-cell implanter that successfully stacked and implanted cells in tests, reducing hand burden for operators, which may improve alopecia treatments compared to traditional hair transplantation.

This study developed and validated an HPLC-UV method for accurately quantifying clobetasol propionate in skin and hair follicles, demonstrating its application in in vitro permeation experiments.

In this study using ex vivo porcine ear skin, researchers found that standard nail varnish applied gently creates effective follicular closures, preventing penetration of certain substances like fluorescein sodium salt and caffeine into hair follicles, whereas solvent-free varnish and rapid application techniques were less effective.

This review explores advancements in bioprinting technologies for developing in vitro skin models that replicate immune-mediated skin diseases, highlighting their potential to reduce animal testing and enhance research and product testing capabilities in dermatology.

This study developed and validated a precise RP-HPLC method for simultaneously estimating minoxidil and aminexil in pharmaceutical formulations with good accuracy and specificity.

In this study, Geranium sibiricum L. extract promoted hair growth in vitro with human dermal papilla cells and in vivo in mice, outperforming minoxidil by proliferating cells and stimulating growth factor expression, suggesting its potential as a hair growth treatment.

Microneedling improves the appearance and feel of post-burn scars.

This study found that retinoic acid pre-treatment enhanced the efficiency of gene transfer into mouse skin for potential therapeutic applications.

This study found that substance P may be involved in the pathogenesis of acne by increasing the expression of certain cytokines and receptors in cultured sebocytes.

This study developed a new mask-free method using digital micromirror and microfluidic systems to create multicellular heterospheroids for drug screening, finding that heterospheroids exhibit higher drug resistance and combinatorial drugs are more effective than single drugs in cancer therapeutic applications.

This article discusses the introduction of human recombinant hyaluronidase in hair restoration surgery and presents no new clinical results.

This article argues that prolactin may have a role in sebaceous gland function and suggests it could be a potential target for treating skin conditions, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review highlights the potential of integrating point-of-care testing with allele-specific amplification techniques like AS-PCR, AS-LAMP, and AS-RPA to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and affordability of genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with human diseases.
