This case report highlights a rare instance of gastric trichobezoar, or "Rapunzel syndrome," associated with trichotillomania, characterized by hair accumulation in the stomach of a patient.

This case study reported TSPyV DNA detection in blood and urine samples before trichodysplasia spinulosa skin lesions developed in a kidney transplant patient under immunosuppressive therapy.

This study found that locally administering thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) promotes hair growth by stimulating hair follicle cell proliferation during both normal conditions and after skin injury in mice.

This study found that in individuals with alopecia areata, intralesional Triamcinolone therapy led to significantly greater reduction in disease severity, measured by SALT scores, compared to autologous platelet-rich plasma treatment over a 24-week period.

This study found that a specific T-cell receptor motif associated with lipid-antigen stimulation may play a role in the pathogenesis of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides.

TRPV1 helps regulate hair growth cycles.

This review outlines current treatment strategies for trichotillomania, noting that while cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective, N-acetylcysteine and memantine are also recommended due to their safety and efficacy, though evidence for other drugs like fluoxetine and naltrexone remains limited.

This study observed that autologous PRP and PDRN injections improved hair thickness and density in women with pattern hair loss, with combined therapy showing greater improvement in thickness than PDRN alone.

This study found that transdermal testosterone significantly increased the frequency of satisfactory sexual events in women experiencing SSRI/SNRI-related loss of libido, but did not improve overall sexual self-rating scores.

This review discusses trichotillomania's clinical features, prevalence, and treatment options, highlighting the potential benefits of behavior therapy and pharmacotherapy but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers found that the variability in growth factor expression, particularly TGFβ1, in PRP samples could influence patient responses to hair loss treatment with PRP therapy.

This case report describes two transgender men using subdermal testosterone pellets for gender affirmation, finding they tolerated the treatment, but one returned to injections; firm conclusions on pellets' suitability require further study.

This study found that transthyretin and megalin expression in human scalp hair follicles varies significantly with the hair growth cycle, peaking during anagen and diminishing in catagen and telogen phases.

This review examines genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP1.1 gene and its potential impact on wool quality, reporting no new findings but suggesting opportunities for developing gene markers for wool and pelt traits.

This study found that contrast enhanced phototrichogram (CE-PTG) significantly improved detection of various hair types and growth stages in androgenetic alopecia compared to standard PTG and was comparable to biopsy analysis.

This case report describes a severe form of HIV-associated pityriasis rubra pilaris in a dark-skinned woman that improved rapidly and sustainably with combination antiretroviral therapy, despite atypical presentation without significant erythroderma.

This study observed that most patients with traction alopecia showed improved or stabilized hair loss with therapeutic counseling and adjunctive treatments, but follow-up was often inconsistent, highlighting the need for better awareness and management.

In this study, the varied phenotype of trichothiodystrophy was highlighted, with findings of distinctive hair shaft abnormalities and a wide range of multisystem issues, including neurologic and urologic disorders.

This study found that the long non-coding RNA lnc056 promotes the proliferation of hair follicle stem cells by upregulating TRIP6 expression through interaction with the transcription factor HNRNPUL1, suggesting a potential target for hair loss treatment.

This study identified several patient-specific factors that can predict both the likelihood of undergoing and failing a post-TURP void trial, aiding in the selection of candidates for immediate assessment.

This study observed that PD-1+CXCR5-CD4+T peripheral helper cells are significantly elevated in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and are correlated with disease activity indicators, suggesting their potential role in lupus pathogenesis.

This report describes the use of compounded topical preparations to treat two severe psoriasis patients and calls for further studies on their regulation, protocol, and stability evaluation.

This review discusses the traditional uses of Tridax procumbens for wound healing, antifungal, and antibacterial purposes, but reports no clinical findings.

This preliminary study suggests that baseline central serotonin turnover, indicated by CSF 5-HIAA levels, may influence treatment response to serotonin re-uptake inhibitors in women with trichotillomania.

This study found that periodic intratesticular PRP administration may slightly enhance testicular development in male lambs, indicated by increased testicular blood flow, length, and reduced resistance index compared to saline.

In this case report, the authors observed that onabotulinum toxin A therapy, extended to areas around traumatic excoriations and alopecia, resulted in notable healing and hair regrowth in a patient with trigeminal trophic syndrome and trichotillomania.

In this study, researchers found that retinoids might improve lupus nephritis resistant to conventional treatments, but the sample size was too small for significant results, and side effects were noted.

This letter comments on a randomized controlled trial by Shapiro et al that found no significant benefits of platelet-rich plasma compared to placebo for male androgenetic alopecia, highlighting issues with PRP protocol variations.
