New skin substitutes for treating severe burns and chronic wounds are being developed, but a permanent solution for deep wounds is not yet available commercially.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.

This review examined dermatologic symptoms associated with COVID-19 in 2,560 patients, with chilblains/pernio-like lesions being the most common, suggesting these symptoms may aid in early identification of cases.

The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.

This study found that finasteride decreases DHT/T levels more significantly in the vertex scalp hair than in the occipital hair of patients with male pattern baldness.

In this study, Gaussian process regression models combined with Grey Wolf optimization were used to predict and optimize phenolic and flavonoid content extraction from Carthamus caeruleus L. rhizomes, showing high accuracy and helping improve understanding and extraction processes through a new interactive tool.

This review discusses the modest efficacy of home-use laser and light devices for conditions like hair removal and acne, noting limited evidence and a lack of robust trials.

Darker hair may lead to higher cortisol readings, suggesting a need to adjust for hair color in studies.

In this study, daily application of bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution for 9 months significantly improved eyebrow appearance in individuals with mild to moderate eyebrow hypotrichosis, without observed side effects.

This study found that preserving hair micrografts in an enriched storage medium for five hours significantly increased their survival rate compared to those stored in saline.

This study found that the desolvation of finasteride hydrate solvates is highly dependent on the physical environment, complicating investigations but providing insight through complementary analysis techniques.

The document concludes that there are still unknowns about the effectiveness, risks, and detection of performance-enhancing drugs, and doping remains a challenge.

This study analyzed gene expression changes during the autumn coat color change in mountain hares and found conserved gene regulation with snowshoe hares, highlighting its role in seasonal camouflage adaptation.

This report describes a study of estuarine bed-sediment quality in New Jersey and New York post-Hurricane Sandy, focusing on contamination extent and potential long-term impacts, with no new findings included.

This review discusses the effectiveness of non-thermal, non-ablative devices like light-emitting diodes in treating various skin and hair conditions but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the complex challenges of managing scalp and cranial deformities post-trauma or surgery, advocating for better multidisciplinary approaches to enhance outcomes, but reports no new results.

Light scatters differently from elliptical hair fibers than from circular ones, and a new model better predicts this behavior, especially for shiny highlights.

This review highlights that laser and light treatments could serve as safe and effective alternatives to current therapies for alopecia areata, with the excimer laser showing positive results, though further randomized controlled trials are necessary to establish optimal treatment protocols.

This study comprehensively compared different crystalline forms of finasteride, including the new finasteride DMF solvate hemihydrate, to better understand their structural characteristics and intermolecular interactions.

This study indicates that hair analyses for calcium and phosphorus are unlikely to be useful for assessing the nutritional status of horses, suggesting soil and feed analyses as more effective alternatives.

This study found that during the Covid-19 lockdown, the percentage of abstinent and low-risk alcohol drinkers increased while moderate and chronic drinking decreased compared to the previous four years.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with coat type in domestic dogs, showing certain variants linked to single-coated breeds and suggesting potential regulatory roles.

This study found that a combined pattern of repigmentation was most commonly observed in vitiligo, with a new 'medium spotted' pattern proposed for areas with few hair follicles.

This article discusses the benefits of liposomes in cosmetic formulations, including enhanced hydration and protection for dry skin, but reports no new experimental findings.

This scoping review found a high prevalence of skin conditions among older people living at home, but available evidence on burden and effective care strategies is limited.

This study found that a cedrol nanoemulsion improved hair growth and bioavailability compared to an ointment, demonstrating enhanced efficacy in vitro and in vivo.

This guideline reviews the diagnosis and treatment of malignant cutaneous angiosarcomas, highlighting the complexity of treatment and the importance of early detection despite non-specific clinical presentations.

This study found that among MtF transgender individuals, those with early-onset gender dysphoria exhibited differences in age at surgery, sexual orientation, and sexual activity compared to those with later-onset dysphoria.

This study suggests that ultra-fine powders of steamed and lyophilized mature silkworms may have enhanced pharmacological effects compared to fine powders, possibly due to their smaller particle size.

This article reviews techniques for repairing scalp deformities and concludes that combining older methods with modern hair restoration allows for satisfactory treatment of large scarred areas.
