This study found that fitness coaches and registered dietitians/nutritionists were the primary sources of information for bodybuilders, who showed moderate nutrition knowledge, while gender, exercise history, and sessions impacted dietary supplement use, and reported adverse effects included skin rashes and increased liver enzymes.

This study reviewed 39 studies with 3204 patients to identify characteristic trichoscopic findings in alopecia areata, highlighting yellow and black dots, broken, short vellus, and tapering hairs as key indicators. It found no single diagnostic trichoscopic finding but observed trichoscopy's utility in monitoring treatment response.

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.

In this study, FLI was significantly higher in women with PCOS and NAFLD compared to those without NAFLD, and an FLI < 30 could not effectively rule out NAFLD in lean PCOS patients.

This study reported that stress can induce hair graying in mice through noradrenaline-mediated depletion of melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles, providing a mechanism that connects stress to hair color changes.

This study found that several factors, including ponytail hairstyles and alcohol consumption, were associated with increased severity of female pattern hair loss in the surveyed Chinese women.

This study used micro-CT to visualize preputial vessel distribution in a congenital hypospadias rat model, revealing that vessels at the preputial junction with good circulation were well-suited for vascular pedicle flaps in surgery.

Specific immune cells cause alopecia areata and blocking certain proteins can prevent it.

This study observed that tissue-engineered skin, using VEGF165 gene-modified cells embedded in astragalus polysaccharide-containing 3D printed scaffolds, enhanced early vascularization, and collagen and hair follicle regeneration, leading to improved skin repair in nude mice with full skin defects.

This paper discusses microsurgical autologous hair transplantation as a method to improve androgenetic and non-active scarring alopecias, emphasizing the importance of surgeon expertise and proper planning; no new clinical results are provided.

This study successfully developed and optimized ethanol-free microemulsion systems for the transdermal delivery of finasteride, showing that the predicted optimal formulations had physicochemical characteristics close to estimated values, without significant damage to treated hair fibers.

This study suggests that melatonin may enhance wool growth in cashmere goats by activating sulfur metabolism genes and high-sulfur protein genes, which are crucial for providing sulfur-containing amino acids needed for wool quality.

This case report describes regression of hidradenitis suppurativa lesions in two patients after 16 weeks of adalimumab treatment.

This study demonstrates a sample preparation method for wool follicles that allows for clear keratin labeling and ultrastructural preservation in microscopy, reducing common artefacts from conventional fixation techniques.

Sodium hypochlorite can effectively prevent and remove Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in atopic dermatitis at high enough concentrations.

This review discusses the essential role of linoleic acid in preventing deficiency symptoms and enhancing skin function, but notes that scientific knowledge on its potential therapeutic use for skin diseases remains limited.

This study evaluated two bimatoprost 1% formulations for androgenetic alopecia in men, finding both formulations achieved effective drug concentrations in the scalp with no significant differences between them, and were well tolerated over the 14-day application period.

This article argues that esthetic dermatology could benefit from a more biologically informed approach through the integration of advanced biomarkers and imaging technologies, but cautions that many tools are not yet fully validated for clinical use.

This study observed that DMAP scaffolds in a full-thickness wound model promote dermal appendage regeneration by activating humoral immunity, specifically through B cell activation and antibody production, even when adaptive immune cells' infiltration is restricted.

This review highlights that various components of "skin boosters," such as exosomes and hyaluronic acid, may have potential applications beyond aesthetics, acting as adjunct therapies for improving skin integrity and promoting tissue regeneration, though more research is needed to support their use as primary treatments.

In this study, researchers found that relying solely on ferritin to assess iron status in young females with higher BMI may lead to inaccurate diagnoses of iron deficiency due to inflammation-related ferritin elevation.

In this study, researchers propose that the EDAR V370A allele's positive selection in East Asian populations may be linked to stable aquatic resources from Late Pleistocene ecosystems in northern China, suggesting a "nutritional niche construction" framework where these resources offset the allele's metabolic costs.

This study presents a hypothesis that the EDAR V370A allele was positively selected in East Asian populations due to the stable aquatic resources in Late Pleistocene northern China, which may have offset the allele's metabolic costs and provided a selective advantage.

This study found that adequate vitamin D status is necessary for metformin to effectively reduce prolactin levels in men with iatrogenic hyperprolactinemia, while improvements in glycemic control were observed across all vitamin D groups.

Bicalutamide may reduce hair shedding in women but needs longer trials to confirm its effectiveness.

This study evaluated methods to administer betulin in in vivo experiments and found that olive oil, food-grade lard, and other carriers increase betulin absorption in Wistar rats, while monitoring blood levels may aid future clinical research.

Wnt and SHH pathways help form hair follicles by coordinating cell processes.

In this study, researchers developed a new microneedle patch delivery system for minoxidil, which enhanced its controlled release and improved hair growth in mice, potentially offering better treatment outcomes for androgenetic alopecia.

This review summarizes the role of platelet-rich plasma in treating musculoskeletal injuries in athletes, highlighting its current and potential applications, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This research observed that some hypothyroid patients on adequate levothyroxine therapy continue to experience symptoms like poor concentration and hair loss, with findings suggesting an elevated anti-TPO level increases the likelihood of such symptoms, despite normal TSH levels.
