This review evaluates recent advancements in hair follicle bioengineering and discusses the potential for developing effective treatments for hair loss through tissue engineering, despite current challenges in creating functional cultured human hair cells.

This study presented a case of tinea capitis in a 4-year-old without typical symptoms and traced the infection to Microsporum canis carried by domestic cats, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, especially in households with pets.

In this case study, researchers observed that Ayurvedic treatments, specifically Praccahnna and Tikta Patola patra swarasa Lepa, improved symptoms of alopecia areata, such as reducing patch size and hair fall.

This study reported the presence of dermatophyte macroconidia directly in clinical samples from a 3-year-old boy with tinea capitis, marking the first time this has been documented. The infection, caused by Microsporum ferrugineum, was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole and topical ketoconazole shampoo.

This study reported three cases of tinea corporis caused by Microsporum canis in a household, linked to a domestic cat, where genetic analysis suggested a familial transmission route.

This review explores the potential of non-invasive photobiomodulation therapy for managing combat and traumatic soft tissue injuries, emphasizing its benefits, efficacy, and underlying mechanisms, but reports no new clinical results.

In a rat scalp expansion model, this study found that activating autophagy with rapamycin enhanced skin regeneration during tissue expansion by increasing expanded skin area, epidermis and dermis thicknesses, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and other regenerative factors, whereas blocking autophagy reversed these effects.

This study found that engineered reconstituted skin can form morphogenetic units that promote tissue patterning and hair regeneration, with certain signaling pathways restoring this ability in adult and fetal cells.

In a case study, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu with both demodicosis and babesiosis showed improvement after treatment, which included medications like ivermectin and supportive care such as specialized shampoos and environmental spraying, evaluated up to the 21st day.

This study developed a degradable and bioactive citrate-based polyurethane adhesive that achieves rapid and strong tissue adhesion, exhibiting improved bonding strength in wet environments, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and hemostatic properties, with potential to enhance wound healing by promoting angiogenesis.

This case report describes three instances of severe tinea favosa transmitted by Trichophyton schoenleinii in Afghan immigrants in Iran, highlighting an emerging health concern due to its potential to re-emerge in the region among immigrant populations.

In this case report, a girl with tinea capitis experienced psychological disorders, but oral and topical treatment with griseovulfin led to both clinical and psychological improvement, as assessed by CDQLI and DMHC methods.

In this study, stabilized super-oxidized hypochlorous acid was used during and after hair transplant surgeries, reportedly reducing erythema and pruritus in over half of patients, with high compliance and no tissue necrosis observed.

This study highlighted the significance of integrating single-cell RNA sequencing with spatial transcriptomics for improving cell-type identification in human skin, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive cell atlas.

This source reviews the potential of 3D printing, biomaterials, and smart sensors in tissue engineering, noting their application in creating artificial membranes for skin and tissue regeneration and assessing their strengths and limitations for wound dressing development and disease modeling.

This retrospective study found that among 20 pediatric patients in Rochester, MN, tinea capitis due to Trichophyton violaceum/soudanense presented with diverse scalp and body symptoms and suggested terbinafine may be more effective than griseofulvin for treatment.

In this review, researchers identified 10 natural plants, including candlenut and clove, that have shown potential to inhibit alopecia progression and stimulate hair growth due to their diverse phytochemical and pharmacological properties in vitro and in vivo.

This study found that high stress levels among medical students were significantly associated with their performance in the UKMPPD certification exam, with academic stressors being the primary contributors.

This article highlights that tinea capitis, a fungal scalp infection primarily seen in children, is often misdiagnosed in adults, especially postmenopausal women and immunocompromised individuals, leading to unnecessary treatments and potential permanent hair loss if not correctly identified and treated.

This study found that a graphene-barium titanate nanosystem can accelerate wound healing by killing bacteria and promoting fibroblast proliferation, demonstrating effectiveness in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria-infected wounds in mice.

This study reviews current treatments for PCOS and evaluates Tirzepatide as a potential option for its management, suggesting possible benefits for those with obesity and metabolic syndrome but not for those of normal weight.

In this study of 50 rural children with tinea capitis, 64% had the non-inflammatory type, while 28% had the inflammatory type, with most cases showing positive results in KOH examinations.

This case report concludes that while multivitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements are used in alopecia areata treatment, existing scientific evidence is insufficient for definitive clinical recommendations on their effectiveness.

In this study, researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to identify cell types and molecular differences in subcutaneous adipose tissue from various anatomical sites, suggesting that certain subpopulations of human adipose stem cells might improve the treatment of chronic refractory wounds.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

This study reported that 75.9% of participants aged 20-50 in Tikrit, Iraq, had used herbal treatments at least once, primarily for issues like hair loss, hemorrhoids, and gastritis, with the hope of finding effective alternatives to conventional medicine.

This research explored the roles of various T cell types in chronic alopecia areata, finding that increased severity of lesions and hair loss may be linked to decreased lesional Foxp3+ Tregs, with a notable role for IL-17 and Th17 lymphocytes in the pathological process.

This study found that supraphysiological doses of testosterone alter endothelial relaxation pathways in hypertensive rats, with varied contributions from nitric oxide, prostanoids, and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors, influenced by estrogen and dihydrotestosterone levels.

This article reviews methods for examining the localization and activity of ROP GTPase, cortical microtubule organization, and F-actin dynamics in plant cell models, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that tideglusib delivered topically in a bacterial cellulose hydrogel showed positive effects on the wound healing of rat palatal mucosa, as observed through macroscopic, histomorphometric, and immunohistochemical evaluations.
