In this study, researchers found that people with Parkinson's disease showed higher levels of inflammasome proteins, including caspase-1, ASC, and IL-18, compared to healthy individuals, suggesting these proteins as reliable biomarkers for inflammation in PD.

This study investigated the effects of pathological α-synuclein on sebaceous gland cells in Parkinson's disease, finding that α-synuclein exposure altered cellular differentiation and lipid production, suggesting a potential link between α-synuclein and lipid dysregulation in the skin of PD patients.

This study involving male patients with androgenic alopecia found that a higher baseline zinc plasma level, specifically above 10 µmol/L, may predict the success of treatment with 5% topical minoxidil, correlating with increased hair density and diameter in the parietal area.

This study found that the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company offers significant cost savings on men's health medications compared to both Medicare and GoodRx, particularly for erectile dysfunction treatments.

This study observed that adherence to finasteride treatment in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia at a clinic in Tepic Nayarit had not been previously evaluated in Mexico.

This literature review highlights the importance of understanding the mechanisms behind the gradual mosaic loss of the Y chromosome (mLOY) in men, its association with various health conditions like cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and its potential as a marker for age inference.

This study observed that dandruff in Indian women is associated with a distinct scalp microbiome, including specific bacterial and unknown Malassezia species, with implications for nutrient homeostasis and cell-host adhesion pathways.

This study reported that alopecia occurred in 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome, with some cases resembling alopecia areata and others associated with specific skin lesions.

In this study, researchers found that L-cysteine interacted electrostatically with anionic ions on the surface of keratin fibers in human hair, reducing the rate of disulfide bond disconnection at pH 9.0.

This study found that excessive heat caused the most significant structural changes in hair from Caucasian and Afro samples, especially when combined with other treatments like bleaching and straightening.

This study found that chemically modifying hair with 2-iminothiorane hydrochloride improved the permanence of hair setting without damaging the hair by increasing disulfide bonds.

This study observed that mercury-lamp irradiation may cause cleavage of disulfide bonds in keratins of white hair, leading to the formation of thiols in laboratory settings.

This review discusses the increasing reports of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a form of scarring alopecia, and its potential link to autoimmune disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, treatment with aqueous KCN selectively converted disulfide bonds to monosulfide crosslinks in hair, leading to changes in microstructural properties and rubberlike elasticity under specific laboratory conditions.

This study proposed a network model for the cross-linked structure of keratin-associated proteins in hair and wool fibers, suggesting notable differences between the two, potentially affecting hair fiber elasticity.

This study found diverse clinical presentations in patients with newly detected connective tissue disease, highlighting the diagnostic and prognostic importance of cutaneous features.

This study indicates that Samhwang-Sasimtang ethanol extract may promote hair growth in a mouse model, showing stronger effects than a control but less than 3% minoxidil.

This study observed that 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Szary syndrome experienced alopecia, predominantly within skin lesions, with scalp metastases from other cancers also potentially causing hair loss, highlighting the diagnostic value of trichoscopy in differentiating alopecia types.

This case report highlights that Sheehan's syndrome can still occur in developed countries due to factors like migration and delayed diagnosis, with diabetes insipidus sometimes masked by adrenal insufficiency.

This case study highlights a delayed diagnosis of Sheehan's syndrome in a woman with post-partum hemorrhage history, emphasizing the importance of considering non-specific symptoms and menstrual history for diagnosis.

This review discusses recent advancements in omics and gene editing technologies for studying neuropeptides and receptors in fish, but reports no new experimental findings; the authors highlight the need for further research in this area.

This case report highlights the overlap of Sjögren’s Syndrome and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, noting major salivary gland enlargement and bilateral facial nerve involvement, which may better explain the patient's symptoms than lupus alone.

This case report details a child with a specific TNFAIP3 mutation manifesting as a severe SLE/SS phenotype, expanding the known phenotype for this genetic variant.

This clinical case report describes a 44-year-old male whose initial diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis progressed over a decade to include systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's Syndrome, highlighting the complexity of managing multiple autoimmune syndromes.

This study found that Samhwang-Sasimtang herbal extract may enhance hair growth in mice, as indicated by increased hair follicle activity and reduced growth inhibition factors compared to a control.

Keratin-based hydrogels from human hair and wool are promising for wound dressings and are more eco-friendly.

In this study, chemical treatments during permanent hair straightening were found to randomize proteins in the cortex, aiding in the reconnection of disulfide bonds during oxidation.

In this study, researchers developed an acellular bioscaffold made from ovine tendon collagen with an antibacterial coating for treating skin wounds. They found that genipin crosslinking improves the scaffold's properties, and with plasma polymerisation, it enhances antibacterial activity, potentially benefiting wound healing.

This review highlights that while chitosan-based wound dressings with silver nanoparticles show promise for treating infected wounds due to enhanced antimicrobial activity, further studies are needed to address their in vivo toxicity and evaluate their efficacy in infectious animal models.

This study suggests that Lindera strychnifolia root extract may help restore a healthy microbial balance on the scalp in men with androgenetic alopecia after 83 days of treatment.
