This study suggests that both age and photoexposure may decrease maximum viable epidermis thickness and impact the dermal-epidermal junction in women with Fitzpatrick skin types II-III.

This review highlights the inadequacy of the "specificity paradigm" in drug design for complex diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer, suggesting a shift toward developing multitarget drugs to improve treatment efficacy by interacting with multiple targets through various mechanisms.

This multicenter study found that hair and nail disorders, particularly telogen effluvium, commonly developed in patients after severe COVID-19 infection.

This study found that LAHR significantly improves the quality of life in the short term for women with PCOS, but underscores a need for further research to develop long-term treatment strategies.

This study found that a deep learning approach successfully predicted three types of hair and scalp diseases with high accuracy, despite challenges in dataset availability and image variety.

In this study, researchers developed a natural shampoo using traditional plant extracts and reported that its physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity were comparable to marketed shampoos. Further research is needed to confirm its performance and quality.

This case report identified dystrophic anagen effluvium as a previously unreported dermatological side effect of PEG-INF-α-2a/RBV combination therapy in a patient with chronic hepatitis C infection.

In this study, FLI was significantly higher in women with PCOS and NAFLD compared to those without NAFLD, and an FLI < 30 could not effectively rule out NAFLD in lean PCOS patients.

This study found that among women with PCOS, higher HOMA-IR levels were associated with acanthosis nigricans, and increased DHEA-SO4, FAI, and FI values were linked to hirsutism.

This case report describes a one-year-old boy with combined occipito-linear and triangular fronto-temporo-parietal alopecia and discusses the possibility of these lesions being a variant of neonatal occipital alopecia.

This study observed that bacterial communities on scalp hair collected through non-invasive swabbing showed similar diversity and composition to those obtained by cutting or removing hair, suggesting that swabbing is an effective method for microbiome analysis on hair.

The researchers reported that targeting glycoprotein 130's signaling site in animal models promoted tissue regeneration and reduced osteoarthritis progression through anti-inflammatory and protective effects.

This study found that oral pumpkin seed oil increased hair follicle proliferation in mice without causing liver toxicity, unlike finasteride and minoxidil which showed adverse effects.

This study suggests that D2O increases hair length in nude mice by extending the hair cycle duration, particularly the hair-existing phase, which is associated with increased mast cell density.

Among female patients experiencing hair loss, this study found telogen effluvium to be the most common type, significantly linked to low ferritin levels, while traction alopecia was more prevalent among those wearing headscarves.

This study found that women with severe hirsutism have thicker subcutaneous abdominal fatty tissue and are more likely to develop metabolic syndrome compared to those with moderate hirsutism.

This study found no significant differences in bone mineral density or predisposing factors across hair-loss stages in women with androgenetic alopecia, though early-onset cases may warrant investigation for premature bone loss.

In this case report, a 48-year-old woman with kerion celsi showed improvement with a regimen including antifungal, bacterial, and adjunctive treatments, though the specific role of mesenchymal stromal cell secretome could not be isolated from the other therapies.

This study found that topical eflornithine effectively reduces facial hair growth in women with hirsutism, showing improved outcomes when used alone or with laser and IPL therapies.

This review suggests that Aloe vera has potential benefits for various skin conditions by integrating Unani medicinal concepts with contemporary biomedical evidence.

In this study, researchers observed that patients with alopecia areata showed higher capillary density and signs of neovascularization compared to controls, suggesting a potential link between alopecia areata and microcirculatory changes.

In this case study, a 40-year-old male on finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss developed a stroke due to carotid artery blockage, with potential drug interactions impacting coagulation and blood pressure posited as contributing factors.

This study identified that the ethanol extract of Selaginella doederleinii may enhance the effectiveness of doxorubicin in treating cervical cancer cells while also providing chemopreventive benefits.

This study developed a rapid ATP assay that effectively measures microbial populations on the skin and tracks changes after microbiome dysbiosis, with findings suggesting that ethanol-cleansed skin takes longer to recover than tape-stripped skin.

In this study, combining L-cysteine and N-acetylcysteine with MET inhibition enhanced cytotoxicity in cancer cell lines by sensitizing them to MET inhibition through redox stabilization, suggesting a promising approach for improving MET-targeted cancer therapies without additional oxidative or chemotherapeutic stress.

This review suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve various dermatologic conditions, but larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

This case report describes a 21-year-old woman whose catatonia led to the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, suggesting catatonia may be an underrecognized manifestation of neuropsychiatric lupus.

This observational study found that while 96.6% of patients using valproic acid showed the expected clinical response, over half experienced adverse reactions like weight gain, hair loss, and hepatotoxicity, highlighting the need for personalized treatment approaches to minimize these side effects.

This study found that chromosomal microarray analysis identified copy number variations in 12% of patients with dysmorphic features and congenital anomalies, demonstrating its potential as a diagnostic tool, especially for rare CNVs and immune deficiency linked to the deletion of CTLA4.

This study identified 65 bacterial species from human hair with varying carbon metabolic capabilities and proposed a systematic way to evaluate their ease of isolation under different conditions.
