The guideline recommends mental health involvement in diagnosing gender identity disorder and outlines hormone and surgical treatment protocols, emphasizing safety, informed consent, and long-term monitoring.

This study found that the MsPG3-GFP fusion protein accumulates at the growing root hair tips in Medicago plants, suggesting its role in tip growth during symbiosis.

This study reported that a single treatment with a short-pulsed 755-nm alexandrite laser effectively treated trichostasis spinulosa in patients with skin types II to V, providing rapid results with minimal pain and no recurrence during a 3-month follow-up.

This review discusses the advancements in biologic skin substitutes for wound treatment and their potential in enhancing cutaneous regeneration but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that long-term morbidity from scalp skin harvesting for grafts is low, with high patient satisfaction, and androgenetic alopecia is unlikely to uncover underlying harvest-related hair loss.

In this study, patients experienced scarless regenerative healing of scalp donor wounds, and the researchers highlighted that proper wound dressing can prevent alopecia and scarring in infected wounds, suggesting the potential of scalp skin grafts for optimal healing.

This study found increased infiltration of specific immune cells, such as γδ T cells and CD8+ T cells, in the bald scalp of male androgenetic alopecia patients, and identified four key immune-related genes potentially involved in hair loss development through interferon-γ signaling pathways.

This research reported that dermal progenitor cells can enhance split-thickness skin graft outcomes by improving dermal layer qualities and reducing itch and offer potential in skin wound healing using a flowable hydrogel for better cell delivery and survival.

This case report describes two patients with trichothiodystrophy who exhibited a different pattern of hair protein composition changes, suggesting a subgroup of TTD characterized by partial loss of high-sulfur proteins without significant alteration in their amino acid composition.

This review discusses the indications and technical aspects of megasession hair transplantation and reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses Trikostazis spinuloza (TS), a dermatological condition often misdiagnosed, and reviews its demographic, clinical, and dermoscopic features, but reports no new clinical results.

This phase I study determined that a combination of oral SU-014813 and docetaxel is a feasible treatment with a manageable safety profile and potential anti-tumor activity, particularly noted in melanoma and GIST patients.

This article presents a case of Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome with limb hypertrophy, port-wine stains, angiokeratoma, and venous varicosities, but reports no new findings beyond this case description.

This study hypothesizes a possible association between certain endocrine abnormalities and 11q-syndrome, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and management to improve patient quality of life.

In this study, only a subset of proposed biomarkers universally responded to priming in mesenchymal stromal cells, suggesting limited utility for standardized potency assays across different MSC types and conditions.

This study found that targeting SV40 T antigen expression to hair follicles in transgenic mice caused abnormal hair structure and hair loss, but did not lead to cell immortalization or tumor formation in follicles.

This article presents a case of trichostasis spinulosa, a common but often unrecognized disorder, diagnosed through dermoscopic examination of black macules revealing bundled vellus hairs, with the patient declining treatment.

This study found that loss of the Pten gene in Lgr5+ hair follicle stem cells promoted squamous cell carcinoma formation through the Akt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This case report describes an unusual variant of Turner Syndrome in a 20-year-old female that required comprehensive medical and psychological care, including hormonal therapy that resolved symptoms like alopecia.

This review discusses steroid cell tumors of the ovary, their hormone production, symptoms, and evaluation, emphasizing surgery as the key treatment approach; it reports no new clinical results.

This research discusses Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, life-threatening conditions often induced by immune-mediated drug reactions. Optimal management involves early diagnosis, drug withdrawal, and supportive therapy, though evidence for systemic treatments like corticosteroids and cyclosporin remains variable and lacks randomized controlled trial confirmation.

This case report details a rare instance of a young male with coexisting autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 2 and anti-GAD65 antibody-associated stiff person syndrome, where symptoms improved by adding intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, emphasizing the importance of awareness for early diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that pulsed diode laser treatment safely and effectively cleared lesions and reduced the appearance of dark plugs in trichostasis spinulosa for up to 20 weeks in dark-skinned individuals.

This study found that sweat gland stem cells primarily maintain sweat gland homeostasis but can trans-differentiate to aid in epidermal healing and regenerate diverse skin structures under certain conditions.

This study suggests that in an ex vivo rat glaucoma model, TSPO activation is involved in Allopregnanolone synthesis and may help prevent retinal damage, with TSPO agonists as potential therapeutic agents.

In this study, researchers found that deficiencies in Gsdma1/2/3 significantly inhibited the initiation and progression of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) in mice, suggesting GSDMA's role in promoting cSCC proliferation and its potential as a therapeutic target.

This study found a previously unreported ST14 gene mutation in a patient with ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome, highlighting novel skin and hair characteristics and emphasizing the critical role of the Asp482 amino acid in matriptase activation.

This study found that anionic HSES achieved high complexation efficiencies with various steroids, significantly enhancing their solubility, while specific β-cyclodextrin thioethers showed selective binding to testosterone and estradiol.

This review discusses recent progress in understanding the cellular mechanisms of sebaceous gland development and maintenance, emphasizing the role of stem and progenitor cells in related skin pathologies, and reports no new results.

In this study, the size of vaginal prolapse was significantly linked to preoperative vaginal length and the length of vaginal excision following the Michigan four-wall sacrospinous suspension.
