This study found that individuals with lichen planopilaris reported lower quality of life and self-esteem and higher depression scores compared to healthy controls.

In this study, individuals with alopecia and psoriasis reported higher body shame and depressive symptoms and lower self-compassion compared to the general population, with self-compassion mediating the relationship between external shame and anxiety and depression symptoms.

This study found that women with PCOS in a Middle Eastern population reported significantly lower self-esteem and body image satisfaction compared to those without PCOS, with PCOS respondents feeling less attractive, avoiding mirrors and social interactions, and expressing a stronger desire to lose weight.

Jockeys using diuretics without potassium supplements can face health problems.

This study found that poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) membranes support the self-assembly of dermal papilla cells into compact spheroidal microtissues capable of inducing new hair follicles, suggesting potential for large-scale production for hair follicle regeneration.

This study established a new in vitro culture system that supports the growth and dynamic self-organization of hair follicle stem cells and their progeny, promoting a stable population equilibrium.

In this study, polymeric micelles containing retinoic acid were found to improve targeted delivery to hair follicle structures in human skin more efficiently than a marketed retinoic acid gel, suggesting potentially safer and more effective acne treatment.

This study found that the developed Finasteride-loaded SMEDDS improved the relative bioavailability of the drug compared to a commercial tablet, offering a promising oral delivery system for glucosteroid analogs.

In this study, the RADA-PRG hydrogel enhanced SKP proliferation, survival, and gene expression, effectively supporting hair follicle regeneration in mice.

This study found that the optimized finasteride-loaded lyophilized tablets using a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system improved bioavailability in human volunteers compared to the marketed finasteride product.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that human hair keratins can self-assemble into stable nanofibrous networks in vitro, which are compatible with human skin cells and useful for regenerative applications.

This study found that optimizing chitosan-tripolyphosphate nanoparticles can enhance the sustained percutaneous delivery of caffeine, with certain conditions affecting stability and release rates.

In this study, a bioengineered construct using a biodegradable polycaprolactone mat cocultured with human keratinocyte and rabbit dermal fibroblast cells demonstrated potential as a tissue-engineered skin substitute, showing good cell adhesion and growth.

This review found that despite varied levels of stigmatization reported in studies, hair loss generally leads to stigmatization and a reduced quality of life, but specific research on this stigma is limited.

This observational study provides cause-specific mortality estimates to help patients and physicians better understand long-term outcomes for localized prostate cancer based on initial treatment choices.

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.

In this narrative review, the authors found that stigma related to oculocutaneous albinism in Africa is primarily driven by socio-cultural beliefs and structural inequities, affecting individuals' health, education, and psychosocial well-being, with interventions needed to dispel myths and provide specialized healthcare and support.

This study found that PDGFA is critical for the proliferation and maintenance of adipocyte stem cells in skin but not other white adipose tissues, highlighting unique regulatory mechanisms in different tissue depots.

In this study, researchers discovered that ROR2, a Wnt receptor, plays a crucial role in regulating hair follicle stem cell self-renewal and maintenance, compensating for the absence of β-catenin.

A girl with red hair developed hair-pulling and body image disorders after being bullied for her hair color.

This study found that total head shaving during brain tumor surgery is significantly associated with lower postoperative self-esteem in patients, suggesting that minimizing shaving when possible could improve psychological recovery.

This study found that C8/144B antibody exclusively binds to the hair follicle bulge and not the epidermal stratum basale, with cytokeratin 19 serving as a key marker of certain basal keratinocytes that decrease with age.

This study found that WNT10A is significantly upregulated in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and is associated with enhanced tumor cell migration, invasion, and poor survival.

This study found that sebaceous glands in the skin are primarily renewed by their own stem cells during normal conditions, but after injury, they regenerate through stem cells from hair follicles, highlighting stem cell plasticity and regeneration capabilities.

This study found that younger, unmarried individuals under 40, especially women, experienced significant anxiety and depression due to androgenetic alopecia, impacting their psychological well-being and self-perception.

In this study, researchers developed a multifunctional, injectable hydrogel that adapts to irregularly shaped wounds, enhances healing, and shows potential antibacterial activity without significant toxicity, suggesting promise for treating chronic wounds.

This study found that platelet-derived growth factor signaling is crucial for maintaining the hair follicle dermal stem cell pool and supporting their regenerative capacity.

This study demonstrated that supplementing aged mice with pro-IGF-II improved muscle regeneration by enhancing satellite cell proliferation and reducing adipogenesis, suggesting potential benefits for treating muscle injuries in elderly individuals.

In this study, researchers found that alopecia significantly impacts depression and quality of life, especially for those with hereditary baldness in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, and emphasized the need for psychological support to improve mental health.

This study found that the interaction between heat shock protein 90 and lamin A/C is crucial for the growth, migration, and self-aggregation of dermal papilla cells, suggesting a potential role in alopecia areata mechanisms.
