This study mapped genomic copy number variation in Chinese fine-wool sheep, identifying genes involved in sensory perception, nutrient metabolism, growth, and development, and highlighting significant selection on the RXFP2 gene.

This study reveals a high prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Africa, indicating an epidemiological shift in the region and underscoring the need for early prevention and treatment strategies.

This review discusses the use of hair analysis for examining stress and reproduction hormone levels in wildlife and highlights the need for more comprehensive physiological validations across species.

In this study, researchers found that high hair cortisol levels, indicating stress in cows, were associated with certain shelter and cow-level conditions such as unclean environments and physical injuries.

This review outlines current European legislation and manufacturing standards for platelet-rich plasma (PRP) products and provides guidance for clinicians implementing autologous PRP treatments, without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, genetic variants in the KRT25 and SP6 genes were found to be responsible for curly hair in horses, with the KRT25 variant also causing hypotrichosis due to an epistatic effect.

This review highlights recent research using single-cell RNA sequencing and machine learning in wound healing, revealing significant insights into fibroblast diversity, immune cell dynamics, and the spatial organization of cells, which may transform therapeutic strategies for chronic wounds, fibrosis, and tissue regeneration.

In this study, a mixed-methods survey of 357 balding men revealed that baldness is structurally stigmatized, with many participants experiencing distress and using treatments to combat it; others resisted stigma and expressed minimal distress.

This review discusses the composition, preparation, and applications of autologous platelet and extracellular vesicle-rich plasma, highlighting its potential benefits and the need for further research, but it reports no new clinical findings.

Transgender women have similar fitness to cisgender women, while transgender men have higher fat and lower strength than cisgender men; hormone therapy affects body composition and strength.

This narrative review highlights that declining testosterone levels are a complex public health issue potentially influenced by modifiable lifestyle factors and environmental stressors, suggesting integrated strategies may be needed to address the trend's impacts on health.

In this observational study, among 135 Italian outpatients with alopecia areata, OCD symptoms were prevalent in 18.5%, and emotional distress was found in 20.7%, with emotional distress mediating the relationship between illness perceptions and OCD symptomatology.

In this study, researchers observed that chronic stress affected wild-derived house mice differently by sex, with females showing less weight gain and distinct behavioral changes, while males exhibited higher hair corticosterone levels, suggesting divergent coping strategies and implications for sex-specific stress assessment protocols.

In this systematic review, researchers found that Tinea capitis in individuals aged 65 or older is frequently misdiagnosed, primarily affects women, and often presents with inflammatory symptoms; systemic antifungal therapy led to clinical cure in 91.2% of cases.

In this study, chronic unpredictable stress affected male and female wild-derived house mice differently; stressed females gained less weight, had long grooming times, and lower immobility in tests, while stressed males showed increased hair corticosterone levels and shorter immobility times.

This study investigated the feasibility of measuring scalp hair glucocorticoids as a stress indicator in older adults with intellectual disabilities and found moderate feasibility overall, with higher success in females and those with moderate disabilities, but lower feasibility in males, particularly those balding.

This review reported that alopecia prevalence and psychosocial impacts vary significantly among migrant and ethnic minority communities due to diverse genetic, environmental, and cultural factors, highlighting needs for culturally competent care and stigma reduction to address disparities and improve access.

In this study, creatine supplementation over 12 weeks showed no effect on androgen levels or hair follicle health in healthy young males, challenging the belief that creatine causes hair loss.

This study found that Sudanese epilepsy patients prioritize medication intake despite cosmetic effects from antiepileptic drugs, which may be influenced by cultural perceptions unique to the population.

Sampling methods greatly affect skin microbiome data in acne studies.

This study demonstrated that a new non-invasive method for collecting and analyzing mouse hair follicles could replace traditional biopsy methods, providing advantages for translational research and routine applications.
