This study developed a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method to detect sex hormones in health supplements from Hanoi, Vietnam, finding three out of 16 samples contained sex hormones, including banned testosterone at low levels (~0.5 mg/kg).

This study validated a Spanish version of the Hair Specific Skindex 29 scale for assessing quality of life in women with female androgenetic alopecia, showing similar psychometric properties to the original.

This paper discusses advancements in forensic hair analysis, emphasizing a novel DART–HRMS method that improves the accuracy and efficiency of detecting drug use timelines.

This study found that the optimal characteristics for ulin seed oil extraction are fresh, mature, and resinous seeds, and that FTIR spectrophotometry with PCA can effectively detect adulteration of the oil, particularly at certain wavenumbers like 1745 cm⁻¹.

This study used spatial transcriptomics to investigate T cell-hair follicle interactions in cutaneous lupus erythematosus across mice, dogs, and humans, finding that CXCR3+ T cells and B cells are enriched in lesional skin, with implications for potential therapeutic targets.

This study observed that following hair transplantation, patients exhibited prominent perifollicular erythema and scaling one month after surgery, whereas by six months, accentuated follicular ostia and varying hair shaft abnormalities were consistently noted.

In this review, several studies on Astragalus species, particularly Astragalus membranaceus, highlight their skin rejuvenating, photoprotective, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties, though the authors note limitations due to reliance on non-human studies and short trial durations.

This study investigated the mechanical response of the human hair cuticle to strain and found that cuticular deformation directly corresponded with fiber elongation, revealing significant molecular-level changes in disulfide crosslinks but maintained structural stability, highlighting the role of the cuticle in stress resistance.

This study identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic gene variants in 70.1% of Russian families affected by hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, expanding knowledge of causative mutations.

This study identified a higher basal metabolic rate as an independent and causally relevant risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the Chinese population, noting that sex-specific effects may require tailored management strategies.

This study evaluated 386 patients with inborn errors of immunity and found that over half exhibited cutaneous, ocular, or hair manifestations, with bacterial skin infections and eczema being particularly prevalent. These findings may aid early diagnosis, especially in pediatric cases.

This study found that cis-urocanic acid can engage in non-enzymatic reactions with reactive sulphur species, forming new metabolites, and suggests sulphide donors may protect against UVB-related toxicity.

This study analyzed gene expression profiles from multiple tissues to explore the molecular connections between obesity and immune-related processes, identifying potential links and pathways that may require further experimental validation to understand their roles in obesity fully.

In this study, researchers observed that loneliness was positively linked to higher hair cortisol levels among African American men but not women, suggesting a potential sex-specific association between loneliness and stress-related physiological pathways.

This study used a new multimolecular spectral method to uncover structural differences in hair keratin from individuals with androgenetic alopecia compared to healthy individuals, identifying potential biomarkers and providing insights for developing new treatments.

In this study, pregnant women in their third trimester with hair loss reported higher levels of pregnancy-specific distress compared to those without hair loss, indicating distress might contribute independently to hair loss without significant laboratory abnormalities.

This study found that post-COVID syndrome symptoms persisted and were more common in individuals who had recovered from COVID-19 compared to uninfected controls in Kerala, though both groups showed significant symptom burdens.

This study highlights a comprehensive approach for authenticating and assessing the quality of herbal medicines using a combination of physiological, morphological, and molecular techniques, including HPTLC, ICP-MS, UV spectroscopy, and DNA barcoding, to ensure the standardization of herbal medicinal products, particularly Eclipta alba.

This study analyzed the ethanol extract of pacing tawar leaves and found it contains alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and steroids but not flavonoids, suggesting potential for use in natural medicinal products.

This study found that patients with tropical chronic pancreatitis exhibited significantly reduced plasma amino acid levels and antioxidant capacity, with folate deficiency identified as a key factor in hyperhomocysteinemia.

Botulinum toxins show promise in treating various conditions, but more research is needed for hair and scalp disorders.

This study developed a method using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MRM-IDA-EPI) for the rapid and sensitive detection of 13 JAK inhibitors in anti-alopecia cosmetics, showing excellent separation and accurate quantification with high recovery rates in tested matrices.

This study demonstrated that CD anisotropy effectively distinguishes between two polymorphs of finasteride with nearly identical electronic circular dichroism spectra, using imaging and simulated spectra to uncover unique signatures that traditional methods miss.

Hhip-Cre effectively targets dermal papilla cells for gene manipulation in hair biology.

In this study, researchers developed "Akaro Spectra," an antiparasitic tablet for dogs using cryodestruction of plant materials, which showed 100% efficacy against Otodectes cynotis ticks by the second day and 93.76% efficacy against Ixodes, Dermacentor, and Rhipicephalus ticks.

This review reports that pregnancy-specific dermatoses, including AEP, PEP, ICP, and PG, present overlapping clinical features and can significantly impact fetal outcomes, particularly ICP and PG, which are linked to preterm birth and stillbirth.

In this study, autologous intratesticular PRP injection was found to be a feasible and well-tolerated procedure with low complication rates and quick recovery, but the authors indicated that current evidence is insufficient to confirm its effectiveness for mTESE.

This study found that wound bed perfusion strongly predicts skin graft viability by correlating with lower necrosis extension on both the scalp and lower limb, unlike perfusion of the wound margin and donor skin, which showed no significant correlation.

This study validated a UV-spectrophotometric method for accurately detecting Minoxidil and Tofacitinib citrate concentrations in bulk and gel formulations for alopecia areata, showing high recovery rates and indicating the method's suitability for routine analysis.
