This review discusses drug repositioning for cardiometabolic disorders and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize its potential benefits, such as known safety profiles and reduced development costs compared to new drug development.

In this study, researchers observed that individuals with alopecia areata exhibited significant changes in scalp microbiota diversity and composition, which were linked to disease severity and inflammation markers, though it remains unclear if these microbial shifts are a cause or a result of hair loss.

This study found that neonatal administration of finasteride reduced sensitivity to alcohol's motor-stimulating effects and increased preference for novelty and initial alcohol consumption in rats, suggesting a role in alcohol vulnerability.

In this retrospective study of 29 patients with scalp burn alopecia, researchers utilized a simple method involving tissue expansion to reconstruct the temporal and lateral sideburn areas, resulting in satisfactory, symmetrical, and standardized aesthetic outcomes according to both objective and subjective evaluations.

This article explains the FUE technique for hair transplantation, its associated risks and complications, and outlines a protocol for maxillofacial surgeons, but reports no new clinical results.

This study introduces a novel in vitro model for clubfoot fibrosis to enable high-throughput drug screening and found that while the model increased collagen deposition, the antifibrotic drug minoxidil effectively inhibited the expression of collagen cross-linking enzymes.

This article reviews the steps and methods involved in preparing skin tissues for three-dimensional volumetric imaging, highlighting its potential to provide detailed insights into skin structure not possible with traditional 2D histology, but reports no new findings.

This study found that while PRP or nanofat injections improved scarred tissue texture in secondary cicatricial alopecia, they did not significantly enhance hair restoration outcomes compared to hair transplantation alone.

In this study, researchers developed a novel bio-enhanced hair transplant technique that, among 10 patients, provided aesthetically pleasing outcomes with minimal downtime, linear increases in density over nine months, and uneventful donor area healing with no visible scarring.

In this case study, the researchers reported that surgical debridement combined with targeted dermatological and antimicrobial therapy effectively managed chronic lower-limb wounds in a patient with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome, underscoring the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in treating this rare condition.

This study reported that platelet-rich plasma injections led to only temporary improvement in vellus hair characteristics in temporal triangular alopecia, suggesting it may not be an effective long-term treatment.

This review discusses the advancements in biologic skin substitutes for wound treatment and their potential in enhancing cutaneous regeneration but reports no new clinical results.

Fgfr2b helps maintain healthy skin and prevent cancer.

This study found that PDCD4 protein expression is reduced in various skin cancers compared to normal skin, suggesting its potential role in preventing or treating certain skin cancers.

This study found that dermal stem cells from granulation tissue promoted wound healing and reduced fibrosis in a combined radiation and skin wound mouse model.

This case report documents the first observed cytologic changes, specifically cytoplasmic vacuolization, in finasteride-associated gynecomastia, which should not be misinterpreted as evidence of malignancy.

This study suggests that androgenetic alopecia moderately affects quality of life, with women experiencing a higher impact and showing a greater willingness to pay for treatment than men.

Inhibiting PGD2 and using dermal papilla cells may improve skin and hair regeneration.

This case report found that the most likely cause of the patient's seizures and brain tumor was prior radiation exposure, with seizures managed effectively using intravenous lorazepam and subsequent treatment for the brain mass.

This review examines the role of dermatoscopy in cosmetic medicine and explores literature, training offerings, and practitioner utilization, but reports no new empirical findings.

This review examines the literature on dermatoscopy in aesthetic medicine, explores training supply and demand, and analyzes its adoption and use among professionals, without reporting new clinical findings.

This review outlines current treatments for folliculitis decalvans and dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, noting conventional therapies' limitations and promising but limited results from targeted biologic agents.

This review synthesizes current evidence on therapies for dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, noting that biologics show promise for treatment-resistant cases, though systemic retinoids remain the first-line therapy.

This review suggests that immunomodulators, including TNF-α blockers and IL inhibitors, may improve symptoms of moderate-to-severe dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, but their effects on hair regrowth and scarring remain unclear.

This case report detailed a successful treatment involving contracture release and expanded neck flap reconstruction for a patient with severe neck contracture and beard alopecia from past thermal burns, highlighting improved skin quality and hair regrowth following follicular unit extraction.

This study found that using overexpanded tissue expanders effectively restored the hairy scalp in 25 patients with scalp alopecia, resulting in high satisfaction and minimal complications, emphasizing the importance of careful patient selection and follow-up.

This review discusses advancements and challenges in laboratory-based tissue-expansion and transplantation techniques for facial wound healing, noting potential for stem cell therapies but highlighting the ongoing absence of skin features like hair follicles in cultured grafts.

In this study, nestin-expressing cells in the hair follicle bulge, marked by GFP in transgenic mice, were identified as progenitors of the hair follicle outer-root sheath.

This study found that D-peptide crosslinked MAP hydrogel accelerated material degradation in vivo but significantly enhanced skin regeneration, suggesting an adaptive immune response can drive regenerative healing even with rapid scaffold breakdown.

This review discusses the shift in toxicity profiles of cancer therapies from traditional chemotherapy to targeted agents, noting similar overall toxicities but with different side effects, and reports no new findings.
