This study reported that a large proportion of US adults with physician-diagnosed alopecia areata experience substantial emotional and mental health comorbidities and report significant stigma across all disease severities, yet few are receiving counseling or therapeutic intervention.

Alopecia areata significantly harms women's self-image, causing reduced confidence and social isolation.

This study found that the psychosocial impact of AA is more strongly related to patients' illness perceptions and stigma than to the severity of the disease.

This study found that a gelatin microparticle-containing self-microemulsifying formulation combined with Soluplus improved the oral absorption of dutasteride.

This review discusses the clinical features and therapeutic goals for teenagers with PCOS, emphasizing the need for further research into its causes and potential long-term health risks, but reports no new clinical results.

This observational study found that patients with various skin diseases across 17 European countries experience higher levels of perceived stigmatization than skin-healthy controls, particularly those with psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, alopecia, and bullous disorders, with factors such as disease severity and psychological distress influencing stigmatization levels.

This cross-sectional survey study found that stigmatizing attitudes toward people with alopecia are present in various social and professional settings, with stigma levels varying by alopecia severity and perceptions of its medical nature.

This study analyzes how commercial websites for Propecia depict male hair loss and promote medical treatment, suggesting they contribute to medicalizing a natural condition for profit.

This article proposes a new classification, the Obsessive-Compulsive Insight Continuum, to help dermatologists better understand and diagnose skin disorders with obsessive-compulsive features.

This study found that alopecia significantly reduces quality of life among South African Black women, with subjective symptoms and self-image concerns having the greatest impact.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia is significantly associated with moderate impairment of health-related quality of life and emotions, but not with depressive symptoms.

This study found that Phyllanthus urinaria extract displayed significant anti-alopecia properties in a mouse model, showing potential as an anti-5α-reductase agent for androgenic hair loss.

This paper outlines the clinical features of artefactual skin disorder, emphasizing the complexities in diagnosing the self-inflicted lesions that patients deny, and underscores the importance of integrating dermatological, psychiatric, and psychological treatment approaches.

In a cross-sectional study, 46% of patients with androgenetic alopecia were found to have depression of borderline to moderate severity, while 62% reported no impact on their quality of life, emphasizing the need for awareness of psychiatric comorbidities among dermatologists.

The document concludes that treating skin conditions should include psychological care and a multidisciplinary approach is essential for effective management.

This thesis reviews the psychological and social challenges faced by men and women with androgenetic alopecia who seek treatment, but reports no new results.

Different types of long-lasting stem cells are responsible for the growth and upkeep of the mammary gland.

This study found that differentiated airway epithelial cells can revert into functional stem cells in vivo, suggesting a more general role for this dedifferentiation process in tissue regeneration in higher vertebrates.

This study suggests that skin-derived precursors from Sox2(+) hair follicle dermal cells have the potential to function as dermal stem cells, supporting hair morphogenesis, dermal maintenance, and wound-healing.

This article describes protocols for isolating and expanding human epidermal neural crest stem cells and discusses their potential for cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, a deficiency in the zinc finger protein Zfp462 in mice led to anxiety-like behaviors and excessive self-grooming, providing a new model for studying anxiety disorders.

This study demonstrated a method for large-scale preparation of self-sorted hair follicle germs in vitro, which successfully generated hair follicles when transplanted into the skin of nude mice.

This study reported the successful isolation of epithelial stem cells from mouse embryonic skin using a simple culture method, with the cells showing the potential to differentiate into multiple cell types.

This study found that ionizing radiation primarily affects keratinocyte stem cells in the hair follicle, suggesting they play a central role in radiation-induced hair graying, rather than melanocyte stem cells.

This study provides evidence that human sweat gland myoepithelial cells contain stem cells capable of self-renewal and differentiating into sweat gland luminal cells.

The hydrogel dressings speed up healing and reduce scarring.

In this study, researchers developed a self-assembling hydrogel called RADA-PDGF2 and found it to accelerate wound closure in a mouse model due to its pro-proliferative and pro-migratory properties, without causing cytotoxicity or immunogenicity.

In this study, finasteride was found to enhance stem cell properties in dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential benefits for hair loss management and regenerative therapies.
