In this study, focal atrichia was associated with late-onset female pattern hair loss, providing a clinical clue to its diagnosis, particularly separating it from other hair disorders.

This study concluded that catgut embedment combined with moxibustion and bloodletting may be more effective than finasteride for treating androgenic alopecia, possibly due to reductions in testosterone and the testosterone/estradiol ratio.

This study developed and validated a precise RP-HPLC-PDA method for estimating finasteride in bulk and tablet forms, suitable for quality control use.

In this study, the researchers reported that their proposed methods accurately determined the studied drug with good recovery rates despite the presence of oxidative degradation products.

This article reviews the need for multicenter clinical trials to establish reference data for ultrasound screening protocols for Down syndrome and reports no new findings.

This review examines nanozymes as promising tools for cancer diagnosis and therapy due to their enzyme-mimicking catalytic properties and highlights their challenges, including biosafety and clinical translation, alongside potential improvements through biomimetic designs, particularly utilizing exosome-based strategies for targeted delivery to tumors.

This study investigated the Mandarin duck as a model for understanding lifelong developmental changes, finding that male sail feather morphogenesis involves a combination of local morphogenetic programs, epigenetic regulation, and hormonal cues, with increased female estrogen levels observed before the mating season.

In this study, trichoscopy was highlighted as a valuable diagnostic tool for traction alopecia, particularly in black women, revealing common signs like vellus hair and hair casts, although it requires a suggestive clinical history for effective use.

This review study found that vesicular carriers like liposomes, niosomes, invasomes, and transferosomes can enhance drug penetration through follicles, benefiting treatments for alopecia, acne, and infections, as well as potentially facilitating systemic delivery of antihypertensive drugs and insulin.

This case series observed the efficacy of GnRH analogues in diagnosing and treating various forms of ovarian hyperandrogenism, illustrating their role in symptom management without surgery, particularly for benign conditions and refractory androgen excess.

This review highlights the potential of microneedles as a low-cost, well-tolerated method for transdermal drug delivery in dermatology, though further research is needed to establish their clinical efficacy.

This study observed that women with cicatricial hair loss had an increased risk of hypertension, which may share overlapping biological origins.

In this case series, researchers observed that patients with inflammatory bowel disease often experienced vitamin C deficiency, which was linked to symptoms of scurvy, highlighting the need for dietary counseling.

This study reviewed changes in marketing practices of Australian clinics after a regulatory ban on direct-to-consumer advertising of stem cell products, finding improvements yet also limitations in addressing misleading claims and consumer safety.

This study identified a small population of PAX3+/CD34+ cells in human foreskin tissue that may serve as transition cells between melanocyte stem cells and hair follicle stem cells, characterized by specific marker expressions.

This review discusses the potential of using human hair proteomics for non-invasive diagnostic and forensic applications but reports no new results; the authors highlight areas needing further research.

This review discusses the role of flavonoids and Nod factors in the symbiosis between legumes and rhizobia and reports no new results; the authors argue this knowledge could enhance sustainable agriculture.

This study found that while alopecia is a less serious manifestation of lupus, it significantly impacts the quality of life due to its psychosocial effects.

Acute leukemias with the Philadelphia chromosome may be biphenotypic, and identifying this is important for proper treatment.

In this study, researchers found that relying solely on ferritin to assess iron status in young females with higher BMI may lead to inaccurate diagnoses of iron deficiency due to inflammation-related ferritin elevation.

This study found that VPS13C variants are significantly enriched in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), associating these variants with more severe symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, and faster progression from iRBD to overt α-synucleinopathy in the iRBD-first disease subtype.

This study analyzed gray hair, revealing that it differs from pigmented hair in follicular activity, oxidative balance, and structure, impacting coloring processes and necessitating adapted techniques to maintain hair quality.

This study suggests that using UVFD to examine non-pigmented facial lesions can potentially enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies.

This review highlights that bacteriophage therapy shows promise for acne treatment by specifically targeting Cutibacterium acnes, but larger clinical trials and improved regulatory frameworks are needed for further development.

In this review, researchers explored the design of composite biomaterials for immunomodulation and their potential to influence immune cell behavior, which could be leveraged for treating diseases like cancer and improving tissue regeneration, while also addressing translational challenges such as biocompatibility and safety.

This review highlights how single-cell transcriptomics has advanced understanding of tissue regeneration by revealing cellular diversity and key molecular interactions in animal models, despite methodological challenges, suggesting future applications in developing targeted regenerative therapies.

This study systematically reviewed dermatological conditions affecting transgender and gender-diverse individuals, highlighting that testosterone therapy can induce acne in 25–88% of transgender men and alopecia after over two years, while dermatologic care must consider both medical and social complexities.

This study found that children with alopecia areata had higher levels of oxidative stress markers but showed no significant differences in depression and suicide tendencies compared to healthy peers.

This study investigated dual TCR Treg cells in mouse tissues, revealing a high proportion and diverse pairing patterns compared to single TCR Tregs, providing insights into their origins and characteristics across different tissue locations.

This article examines how national and cultural factors influence gender representation in advertising for medical products, highlighting the need for gender-sensitive language to combat stereotypes.
