This study found that waving virgin human hair with thioglycerol at pH 9.0 using ammonia solution caused less damage than using thioglycolic acid, while maintaining good waving efficiency.

In this study, Scalp Immersion Proxigraphy (SIP) was shown to produce more accurate measurements of linear hair growth rate than crude phototrichogram techniques, suggesting SIP's suitability for clinical trials monitoring hair growth.

Increasing TSPO in the brain may help improve memory problems.

In this randomized clinical trial, the authors reported that adipose-derived stem cell constituent extract topical solution increased hair density and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia over 16 weeks compared to placebo.

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 review discusses the presence of the StAR protein in 17 non-classical steroidogenic tissues, suggesting that advanced detection methods are needed for a complete understanding of its functions in these tissues.

This study purified a transglutaminase enzyme from human epidermis that requires calcium or strontium for activity and forms cross-linked polymers, but its detailed activation mechanism remains unclear.

This study developed sodium alginate and epigallocatechin gallate cryogels cross-linked with ferric ions, showing that they have strong antibacterial properties and rapid hemostatic abilities, making them promising candidates for wound dressing applications.

In this letter, thrombocytosis was associated with the use of low-molecular-weight heparin in a patient with adrenal cortical carcinoma, highlighting a potential side effect of this treatment.

This paper introduces Concentration Growth Factor (CGF) as a potential treatment for androgenetic alopecia, but reports no clinical findings on its effectiveness in promoting hair growth.

This study found that intermittent treatment with FTI lonafarnib and sulforaphane may be a promising therapeutic approach for children with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, as it improved the cellular phenotype.

In a real-world registry study, ripretinib showed effectiveness with a median progression-free survival of 7.70 months and a tolerable safety profile in Chinese patients using it as a fourth-line treatment for advanced GIST, particularly benefiting those with non-gastric tumors.

This study reports that 71% of patients treated with the gamma-secretase inhibitor PF-03084014 for desmoid tumors experienced dermatologic side effects, such as follicular lesions and pruritic eruptions, which were managed with topical or systemic treatments.

This study found that the nutraceutical gummy Xtressé™ may promote hair density and follicular growth in women with perceived hair thinning, offering a user-friendly alternative to traditional supplements.

This study found that testosterone promotes proliferation, migration, and invasion in human glioblastoma cell lines through its conversion into dihydrotestosterone, which can be inhibited by drugs blocking 5α-reductase activity.

This article reviews cultural differences in the incidence of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome and finds it may be less prevalent in Iranian children compared to Europe, possibly due to social and cultural factors.

This observational study reports that a TRASER device using specific wavelengths for vascular and follicular targets showed both clinical responses and histological changes, suggesting its potential as an effective vascular and hair removal tool.

The study suggests that variability in platelet-derived growth factors in PRP is influenced by both patient-to-patient differences and the devices used for PRP preparation, contributing to inconsistent clinical outcomes in hair loss treatments.

This study observed that tributyltin pollution induces imposex, reduces reproductive success, and leads to population decline in Ocinebrina aciculata, highlighting its sensitivity compared to other prosobranch species.

This study found that cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was safe, well-tolerated, and induced mild feminizing changes, with more pronounced effects when combined with estrogens.

This article reviews hair-thread tourniquet syndrome, discussing its demographics, causes, and current treatment methods, but presents no new clinical findings.

This review evaluates existing preclinical and clinical studies on stromal vascular fraction for treating male sexual dysfunction, finding limited data and emphasizing the need for more research before conducting clinical trials.
