This article describes a surgical technique combining CO2 SilkTouch Laser and Calvitron Hair Transplant System that offers a natural-looking hairline with moderate session length and minimal bleeding, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This review discusses treatments for hirsutism, noting OCPs may help mild cases, while flutamide and spironolactone are associated with improvement for more severe cases, but reports no new research results.

This review discusses the portrayal and enforcement of idealized masculinities in men's self-improvement advertising and reports no new empirical results.

This study reports that oxytocin receptor expression in keratinocytes shows a potential relationship with touch sensory neurons, suggesting a role in skin sensitivity and the broader function of sensory neurons.

This article discusses the ethical concerns and implications of a partnership between the National Prostate Cancer Coalition and Viadur, including the perceived endorsement of a specific drug.

Cats' hairy skin has different touch receptors connected by myelinated fibers.

This review discusses strategies for regenerating cutaneous nerve function in burn patients and highlights the potential role of autologous skin-derived adult stem cells in improving sensory recovery, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study describes a protocol for generating hair-bearing skin organoids from human pluripotent stem cells, achieving full complexity resembling fetal skin tissue by day 130 in vitro.

This review discusses advances in understanding tickling sensations and proposes that knismesis hypersensitivity in autism spectrum disorder may be due to impaired sensory integration.

This study found that post-hematopoietic cell transplantation epidermal grafting significantly reduced chronic wound size in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

This histological study of Millivora Capenesis skin describes the composition of the dermis, featuring distinct papillary and reticular layers with associated structures like hair follicles, glands, and corpuscles.

This letter highlights the challenge of implementing ethical principles in healthcare due to society's dependence on financial systems, suggesting this may hinder public health and environmental well-being.

This study concluded that the Spa Touch system effectively retards hair regrowth, functioning like a "light razor" for quick and cost-effective epilation.

Human hair's structure makes it tough and resistant to breaking.

KRTAP10 proteins help form the hair shaft's tough outer layer by interacting with specific hair keratins.

Hair follicles help guide nerve growth, improving touch recovery in skin grafts.

This study found that distinct low-threshold mechanoreceptors innervate different hair follicle types in mice, suggesting that these follicles serve as unique mechanosensory structures in touch perception.

This study found that the opioid system, particularly via the delta opioid receptor, broadly regulates cutaneous mechanosensation, including touch, and suggests targeting this receptor could alleviate injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity.

This study found that sphingosine 1-phosphate and its receptor S1PR3 are essential in regulating the acute mechanical pain response, highlighting their role in mechanonociception without affecting responses to innocuous touch or thermal stimuli.

In this article, researchers describe a novel FUE device designed to enhance follicular unit excision surgery by minimizing follicular injury and improving ergonomics with features such as Bluetooth functionality, fingertip touch sensors, and automated operation.

This study found that upper-bulge epidermal stem cells in mouse hair follicles are specialized for nerve interactions, crucial for forming tactile sensory units, and influence touch responses via EGFL6 and αv integrin pathways.

Japanese researchers created new hair follicles from human cells that grew hair when put into mice, and other findings showed a link between eye disease severity and corneal thickness, gene mutations affecting hearing and touch, and the safety of the shingles vaccine for adults over 50.

This study found that Sonic hedgehog signaling is crucial for Merkel cell development around hair follicles in mice, with Polycomb repressive complex 2 loss causing ectopic Merkel cells across all hair types.

This study found that, in mice, different precursor populations give rise to Merkel cells in hairy versus glabrous skin, but their formation is controlled by a common genetic program involving FGFR2 signaling.

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.

In this study, researchers observed that dorsal horn cells in fetal sheep begin responding to natural cutaneous stimulation by mid-gestation, coinciding with the initial innervation of the skin.

This review presents ergonomic methods and devices for follicular unit excision surgery but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the importance of ergonomic practices for effective hair restoration procedures.

This article lists essential items for a junior resident's bag in dermatology, detailing their uses to enhance clinical examination skills and preparedness during residency and exams.

In this study, researchers observed a high degree of plasticity in somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in adult mouse skin, with both epithelial and neural components exhibiting dynamic remodeling, highlighting intricate epithelial-neural interactions in maintaining homeostasis.

This study developed protocols to create skin organoids with hair follicles and other appendages from human induced pluripotent stem cells, representing a significant step towards understanding hair follicle development and potential applications in modeling skin diseases and reconstructive surgeries.
