This study found that trichodynia is associated with both peripheral and central sensitization, potentially linked to hair cycle abnormalities and chronic pain through proinflammatory agents.

This study found that quiescent bulge stem cells, when prevented from contributing to hair follicle and epidermal regeneration, did not affect hair follicle growth or wound healing in the short term.

This review highlights the potential of microfluidic skin-on-a-chip models in skin research, emphasizing their ability to mimic human skin structure and improve control over cellular and molecular distribution compared to traditional in vitro models.

This study found that finasteride- and dutasteride-loaded iron oxide nanoparticles improved drug penetration in the skin, suggesting they may be promising for topical alopecia therapies.

In this study, phage-containing hydrogels were shown to effectively treat wounds infected with E. faecalis by promoting wound healing through controlled phage release, suggesting potential to improve clinical outcomes for such infections.

This article discusses how challenges in drug development and success rates are driving a shift in the pharmaceutical industry towards engineering targeted drug delivery systems, with nanomaterials offering potential solutions for selective therapeutic delivery.

In this study, gene expression changes in rat whisker follicles after methamphetamine administration may serve as indicators of the drug's rewarding effects and potential addiction pathways.

This study suggests that low proliferation rates in bald areas of androgenetic alopecia patients, along with persistent inflammatory infiltrate, may lead to follicular miniaturization and fibrosis.

This study found that etifoxine pretreatment reduced neuroinflammation and improved cognitive function in LPS-induced neuroinflammation in mice, potentially through increased neurosteroid synthesis and reduced apoptosis.

This study found that low-intensity exercise improved pain relief in aged rats through increased brain allopregnanolone levels, while high-intensity exercise was effective in both adult and aged rats via a different mechanism.

This study suggests that oral and topical tacrolimus may effectively treat psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hair growth disorders, although results are mostly based on small or animal studies.

This study compared serum zinc, vitamin B12, folic acid levels, iron metabolism, and thyroid function between chronic telogen effluvium patients and healthy controls, but it reports no specific clinical results.

This study found that systemic ovalbumin–aluminum sensitization followed by cutaneous challenge in mice induced thermal hyperalgesia, increased spinal cord gliosis, and sprouting of nociceptive fibers, along with elevated mast cell and nerve profile densities in the skin compared to controls.

This review examines advancements in hydrogel formulations aimed at preventing dermal fibrosis and promoting scarless wound healing, highlighting their role in regulating myofibroblast differentiation and controlling the wound microenvironment.

This review outlines the design and engineering of multifunctional hydrogels, emphasizing their evolving biomedical applications, notably in controlled drug delivery, tissue support, and disease management, and discusses their potential for clinical translation.

In this study, researchers found that the efflux of calcium in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, particularly through the ER-localized ACA2 and ACA7, is crucial for modulating cytoplasmic calcium signals and enabling proper root hair growth, with disruptions leading to impaired elongation.

This study reported that a single-session scalp procedure combining several components, including PRP and botulinum toxin, was associated with significant improvements in hair thickness and reduced vellus hair proportion in androgenetic alopecia patients, although further controlled trials are needed to establish causation.

This study reported that a novel hydrogel wound dressing, created using a Brachybotrys paridiformis polysaccharide derivative and chitosan, significantly accelerated wound healing and tissue regeneration in vivo, showing nearly complete healing by day 15 compared to controls.

This study concluded that both ozonated oil and Centella asiatica extract effectively accelerated wound healing in mice through different mechanisms, with the former enhancing early-stage inflammation and the latter promoting collagen deposition and regenerative healing.

This study found that ethosomes containing 30% ethanol slightly improved the targeting of dutasteride to hair follicles in vitro, with a higher targeting factor compared to dried ethosomes and controls after 24 hours on porcine skin.

In this study, black wolfberry ferment was found to promote hair regrowth in mice with androgenetic alopecia by increasing hair weight, follicle count, and skin thickness, potentially through PI3K/AKT, NF-kappa B, and MAPK signaling pathways.

In this study, human gingival mesenchymal stem cells responded differently to inflammation mediated by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) compared to cytokines; oxLDL significantly reduced cell proliferation but had less negative impact on differentiation characteristics.

This study found that dutasteride-loaded transfersomes, compared to traditional liposomes, better target hair follicles by releasing the drug in a more controlled manner, as shown in vitro with enhanced follicular targeting (Tf = 0.32 versus 0.15, p < 0.005) using porcine ear skin.

This study found that non-vitiliginous melanocyte stem cells from vitiligo patients were unaffected by the disease and could effectively differentiate into melanin-producing melanocytes, suggesting their potential for use in cellular therapy for vitiligo repigmentation.

This review discusses recent advancements in the development and use of polymer-based nanohydrogels for topical drug delivery, noting their potential to enhance drug loading, release control, and skin penetration for treating dermatological conditions.

The researchers in this study identified molecular mechanisms involved in frontal fibrosis alopecia, highlighting immune response and fatty acid metabolism, and developed a four-gene diagnostic model showing high accuracy in distinguishing affected individuals from controls.

This study found that nanoparticles containing minoxidil and betamethasone improved drug delivery to hair follicles, with lipidic nanoparticles significantly enhancing minoxidil and betamethasone penetration compared to control, making them a promising option for alopecia areata treatment with reduced side effects.

In this study, flutamide at therapeutic doses caused significant histological changes in the testes and epididymis of adult albino rats, reducing androgen receptor immunoreactivity and increasing estrogen receptor immunoreactivity.

This study found that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin bioregulation, expressing receptors that are regulated in a hair cycle-dependent manner, influencing keratinocyte apoptosis.
