This study found that certain VDR gene polymorphisms are more prevalent in female pattern hair loss patients than in healthy controls, suggesting these polymorphisms may increase disease risk.

This review discusses changes and advancements in facial feminization surgery, detailing various aspects of the field but reporting no new clinical results; the authors highlight ongoing innovations and challenges.

This study found that trichoscopy can confirm the diagnosis and assess the clinical severity of female androgenetic alopecia, correlating specific features with different severity grades.

This study observed that overexpression of TGF-alpha in transgenic mice led to thicker epidermis and stunted hair growth, particularly in regions with normally thick skin and low hair density.

Lack of small, fine hair on the front hairline is a key sign of frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This paper reflects on the challenges and progress in hair restoration, highlighting ongoing efforts for improvement but providing no new empirical findings.

This study found that daily injections of basic and acidic fibroblast growth factor in newborn mice significantly delayed hair follicle development within the treatment area, while epidermal growth factor affected the entire body coat and caused skin hyperkeratinization.

This review discusses the 1998 effort by 21 ISHRS hair restoration surgeons to standardize techniques for follicular unit transplantation and mini-micrografting, without reporting new clinical results.

This article discusses the ongoing debate between exclusive follicular unit grafting and combination mini-/micrografts in hair restoration, but reports no new findings and suggests the controversy will persist.

This study reveals that transglutaminase activity is widespread in integumentary structures of mammals and birds, suggesting it plays a significant role in the cornification of hard skin appendages like nails and feathers.

Gene therapy shows promise for enhancing physical traits but faces ethical, safety, and regulatory challenges.

The Trichodysplasia spinulosa virus protein can cause abnormal hair growth in mice.

This article discusses the establishment and global adoption of standardized terminology for follicular unit excision (FUE) by the ISHRS, which aids effective communication among hair restoration practitioners.

In this study, micro-autologous fat transplantation (MAFT) for frontal augmentation using the MAFT-GUN showed high patient satisfaction and no complications among 178 patients, suggesting it may be a reliable method for forehead contouring.

In this study, two cases of cutis verticis gyrata were associated with chronic traction alopecia due to tight hairstyles, highlighting the need to consider hairstyling history in diagnosis and management.

In this study, immobilized VEGF selectively captured endothelial cells under various shear stresses, suggesting its potential for promoting endothelialization in vascular grafts or implanted tissues.

This article reviews various aspects of growth factor research, highlighting their role in treatments and emphasizing the need for further clinical trials to validate their efficacy in biomedical applications.

The researchers reported that dPGS-PCL as a carrier improved the penetration of tofacitinib in an ex-vivo human skin model compared to free tofacitinib, but did not show significant differences in inhibiting IL-6 and IL-8 during short incubation.

This review discusses the current procedure for follicular unit hair transplantation, emphasizing its natural and reproducible results, but does not report new clinical findings.

This study found that plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) as an adjuvant to follicular unit extraction (FUE) surgery may enhance hair graft performance and reduce post-surgical inflammation and pain in hair loss patients.

In this study, patients with testicular feminization syndrome showed limited anabolic responsiveness to dihydrotestosterone, potentially due to reduced affinity of nuclear receptor sites for androgenic steroids rather than defective testosterone conversion.

This paper reviews the emerging role of FGF-7 signaling in hair regeneration, highlighting its potential as a target for new therapies despite limited clinical trial data.

This study found that tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) is an effective and safer alternative to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) for chronic hepatitis B, with fewer long-term side effects like nephrotoxicity and decreased bone density.

This study found that triglycerides, testosterone, and SHBG levels were associated with hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS, while FGS was not linked to this condition.

This review discusses the role of TGM3 in skin and hair follicle biology, human tumor pathology, and genetic abnormalities, and reports no novel results; the authors highlight its potential as a cancer diagnostic biomarker.

This study found that t-flavanone may promote hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia by enhancing hair anchoring strength and upregulating desmoglein expression in hair follicles over 30 weeks.

This study found that a combination of vitamins in hair care products promoted hair shaft elongation in a mouse model by activating the PlGF/VEGFR-1 signaling pathway.

In this study, the researchers introduced a mutation in mice to mimic Olmsted syndrome and found that the mutation caused hair loss due to impaired keratinocyte differentiation and depletion of hair follicle stem cells.
