In this case report, a patient with a history of discoid lupus erythematosus experienced an exacerbation of the condition after topical immunotherapy for alopecia areata, suggesting contact dermatitis as a potential trigger.

Slug (Snai2) helps regulate hair growth timing in mice.

This study found that patients with vitiligo report the highest willingness-to-pay for disease control and cure compared to those with other chronic skin conditions, suggesting DLQI may not fully capture treatment priorities.

This study found that in Hidradenitis Suppurativa patients, the psychosocial subscale of Skindex-17 is most relevant for assessing quality of life across different severity levels, with irritation and pain becoming more pertinent as severity progresses.

In a study involving adults with mild to moderate dandruff, researchers observed that post-hair wash interventions significantly reduced dandruff as measured by three assessment methods, showing substantial reliability and correlation, which supports their use in clinical settings for evaluating scalp dandruff treatments.

In a retrospective cohort of patients with steroid 5 α-reductase 2 deficiency, this study identified seven novel genetic variants in the SRD5A2 gene, expanding the variant database and contributing to improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for the condition.

Polyquaternium 7® builds up on hair, improving its look and feel, and AFM is good for measuring these changes.

This study suggests that Ptprq in the hair bundles may exist as multiple isoforms that are differentially expressed throughout development and affect the organization of stereocilia in the chick inner ear.

This study found that the oral Janus kinase inhibitor CP-690,550 has a direct effect on reducing pruritus in patients with psoriasis, independent of clinician-assessed improvements in psoriasis severity.

This study found that quaternary ammonium iminofullerenes (IFQA) can alleviate oxidative stress in maize caused by hydrogen peroxide, promoting root growth by enhancing antioxidant cycles and reducing ROS accumulation.

This study used quantitative methods to identify new geometric and mechanical parameters of curly and kinky/coily hair, aiming to improve classification and develop better personal care products for these hair types.

This study developed two comprehensive patient-reported outcome measures for systemic lupus erythematosus to assess symptom fluctuations and impacts, following FDA guidelines, which may aid in clinical studies and practice.

This study found that two unrelated domestic shorthair cats had novel DSG4 gene mutations causing defective hair shafts, representing the first report of pathogenic DSG4 variants in domestic animals.

This study assessed breeding value estimation methods for Korean Sapsaree dogs, finding varied accuracy across BLUP approaches and identifying significant genomic regions affecting traits like body height and hair length. The researchers suggest these findings can enhance breeding strategies for this culturally significant breed.

This study found that Finasteride may spontaneously diffuse into an SDS-based model cell membrane at a significant rate, with distinct behavior in polar and non-polar solutions.

In this study using a mouse model of Pemphigus vulgaris, researchers found that loss of desmoglein 3 adhesion in hair follicle stem cells triggers a regenerative program restoring stem cell function, requiring Hedgehog pathway suppression.

This review discusses the role of steroid sulfatase in steroid hormone metabolism and highlights the need for more research on its expression and regulation, especially regarding hormone-dependent tumors.

In this study, UVFD and sUVRD techniques revealed distinctive characteristics of GD lesions, suggesting that GD might be more common in younger individuals and females than previously thought, possibly due to underdiagnosis. Incorporating dermatoscopy in exams may help improve GD detection and management.

This study found that substituting soy hulls for corn-based supplements did not significantly affect ewe growth, reproductive performance, or lamb performance in pasture-based hair sheep systems.

This study introduced a novel, weakly supervised method for segmenting hair in Scanning Electron Microscope images using simple image-level annotations, achieving over 30% improvement in mean Hausdorff Distance compared to Unet and SAM, while enhancing interpretability and refinement.

In this study, CSLD3 overexpression in Arabidopsis enhanced root and hypocotyl growth by increasing cell elongation, with root growth highly sensitive to ethylene and phosphate starvation conditions.

A gene deletion in DSG4 causes sparse hair in some Pakistani families.

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

This study found that the 15-PGDH inhibitor DPP improved endothelial function in hair-related cells exposed to DHT by reducing oxidative stress and enhancing angiogenic capacity.

This review discusses the medicinal chemistry of steroid sulfatase inhibitors for estrogen- and androgen-dependent disorders but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the importance of quality control and quality assurance in hair transplant practice and emphasizes their potential to improve procedural outcomes, yet it reports no new clinical data.

Secukinumab reduces immune activity in hidradenitis suppurativa skin.

This study found that the observed isotropic ss-ECD spectrum of finasteride is influenced by the anisotropy of locally oriented crystals, offering new possibilities for analyzing solid-state chiral materials.

In this study, researchers developed a microfluidics-based method for creating uniform, size-controlled stem cell spheroids that enhance osteogenic differentiation when encapsulated in alginate-RGD microgels.
