This study observed that extracts of Biotae Orientalis showed hair growth effects in mice and suggest they may be useful for topical treatment of alopecia areata.

This chapter reviews surgical management techniques for leukotrichia in vitiligo and presents no new clinical findings; it highlights various grafting and epilation methods.

This study reported that squamous cell carcinomas of the scalp can be extraordinarily aggressive, potentially metastasizing and causing death, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and careful treatment approaches.

This study found that using the KNU implanter for follicular unit transplantation resulted in a high survival rate of 92% at 6 months, regardless of whether one-hair or two-hair units were used.

This study found that super-activated platelet lysate increased hair follicle density in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, outperforming platelet-rich plasma and platelet lysate.

This chapter reviews classification and techniques of surgical therapies for treating stable, recalcitrant vitiligo, highlighting their role alongside non-surgical methods for small, specific cases.

This review discusses strategies and advances in bioprinting for skin wound healing, concluding that bioprinting could offer promising solutions for skin regeneration despite existing challenges.

This study found that labeled galectin-1 binds to specific nuclear sites in human bone marrow stromal cells and keratinocytes, suggesting a role in nuclear function, although only in a small fraction of cells.

This study discovered nine human type I hair keratin genes, including a transcribed pseudogene, in a 190 kbp genomic region, revealing three gene subclusters based on sequence homologies.

This study found that prevascularizing dermal matrices with adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments improved vascularization and allowed earlier successful skin grafting in a bradythrophic wound model.

This review concludes that autologous split-thickness skin grafting remains the gold standard for safety and efficacy in treating chronic leg ulcers, with greater success in venous ulcers.

This article reviews factors affecting follicular unit extraction, emphasizing the need to tailor procedures to individual patient characteristics, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the skin side effects associated with targeted cancer therapies and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the need for empirical management based on expert opinion.

This study found that keratin K80, structurally similar to hair keratins, is broadly expressed in various epithelial tissues and is involved in intermediate filament formation with multiple type I partners.

This study found that manipulating prolactin levels in New Zealand Wiltshire sheep induces wool follicle growth cycles, revealing gene expression changes that suggest roles for specific genes in follicle function.

This study found that as Japanese women age, their hair cuticle becomes more prone to damage, shifting from type L to type E damage patterns, and hair surface properties, including fatty acid content, deteriorate.

New treatments for prostate cancer are less toxic and show promise, but more research is needed to enhance their effectiveness and reduce side effects.

In this study, researchers characterized the FGF5 gene in Chinese Merino sheep, identified a new mRNA splicing variant, FGF5S, and noted its restricted expression in the brain, spleen, and skin.

This article notes the importance of graft quality in hair restoration surgery, particularly in Follicular Unit Excision, but offers no new research findings.

The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.

This review discusses the similarities between myotonic dystrophy and aging, highlighting the role of cellular senescence in its pathophysiology, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors note potential anti-aging therapy applications.

This article examines the public health risks and benefits of pill organizers and cutters, concluding that healthcare professionals should guide their use to prevent potential medication stability and efficacy issues.

This article narrates a case where a patient with androgenetic alopecia faced high out-of-pocket costs for finasteride 1 mg and sought to reduce expenses by requesting a prescription for 5 mg tablets typically used for BPH, which are covered by insurance.

Women have a higher DHT/testosterone ratio than men, possibly due to gut bacteria activity.

This study observed that taking 500mg/day of Microcore’s Muttaijow ComplexTM for 12 weeks significantly improved the appearance of skin, hair, and nails in healthy middle-aged adults.

In this study, researchers used transcriptome sequencing to identify 1543 differentially expressed genes between cashmere and normal goats, implicating several signaling pathways and key regulators in the distinct gene expression profiles linked to cashmere fiber production, which advances understanding of cashmere goat genetics.

This study described a rare case of bullous pemphigoid presenting as cicatricial alopecia in a Hispanic female, successfully treated with a combination of oral methotrexate and topical steroids.

This study on Dorper sheep identified important genetic factors influencing hair follicle development, finding that expression patterns and genes like DBI, FZD3, and ZDHHC21 play a crucial role in wool shedding, which could help improve understanding of mammalian skin-related traits and human hair advancement.

In this study, researchers observed that twins with a novel de novo nonsense variant in HRAS exhibited distinctive features, including neuropsychiatric symptoms, potentially indicating a wider clinical spectrum for conditions known as RASopathies.

In this study, researchers reviewed various traditional herbal remedies, such as Tribulus terrestris and Matricaria chamomilla, focusing on their global medicinal use and discussing some of the chemical components that contribute to their biological activity.
