This study found that men with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher plasma leptin levels, which were associated with an increased risk of developing the condition.

This review identifies several off-label uses of H-1 antihistamines in dermatology beyond itch and urticaria control, though the evidence is weak and further trials are needed.

This study found that freezing nitrogen ethanol composite (FNEC) caused less cryoablative damage to surrounding normal tissue than liquid nitrogen in a mouse model of human bone xenograft transplantation.

This study found that apoptosis, along with proliferation, plays a crucial role in shaping and extending human hair follicles by coordinating the formation and differentiation of the hair canal.

The study reported that from 2016 to 2020, the number of patients with alopecia areata in Taiwan increased, with severe cases utilizing more systemic therapies and having higher outpatient visits than mild/moderate cases.

This study found that using a shampoo containing heat-killed probiotics, GMNL-653, led to decreased dandruff and sebum production and increased hair growth in human participants, with observed microbiota shifts including changes in M. globosa and M. restricta abundance.

In this study, a computer-aided imaging system accurately measured the width of balding areas in female pattern hair loss, correlating strongly with clinical staging severity.

This review describes two cases of young women with primary amenorrhea and hyperandrogenemia, suggesting that adrenal tumors should be considered in patients with significantly elevated circulating testosterone levels.

This consensus from the Taiwanese Dermatological Association suggests that for mild to moderate alopecia areata, first-line treatments may include topical or intralesional corticosteroids, possibly with topical minoxidil, while severe cases might require systemic corticosteroids or Janus kinase inhibitors.

This study examined phase 3 clinical trial data and found that baricitinib improves hair regrowth in adults with alopecia areata and significant scalp hair loss, with the response varying based on the severity of hair loss at the start of treatment.

In this study, a topical lotion containing Redensyl and Sepicontrol A5 demonstrated effectiveness for treating androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks, with 73.1% of users seeing moderate improvement and notable increases in hair cycle ratios, alongside enhanced quality of life and satisfaction.

In this study, ebastine significantly increased the proliferation of human follicle dermal papilla cells and may contribute to hair regrowth by activating the ERK signaling pathway.

This study used scRNA-Seq to map the transcriptional changes during zebrafish hair cell regeneration, revealing distinct phases including injury response, transient regeneration gene activation, and reactivation of developmental programs.

This study found that Poria cocos extract may enhance human follicle dermal papilla cell proliferation through the AKT signaling pathway, indicating its potential for hair growth promotion.

This study observed that smeathxanthone A improved wound healing and reduced blood glucose levels in diabetic mice, suggesting potential benefits for tissue healing.

This review discusses the biological characteristics and potential of epidermal stem cells in orthopedic regenerative medicine but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that sebaceous glands in the skin are primarily renewed by their own stem cells during normal conditions, but after injury, they regenerate through stem cells from hair follicles, highlighting stem cell plasticity and regeneration capabilities.

In this study, researchers found that stress likely triggers symmetrical alopecia in Formosan macaques in Mt. Longevity, Taiwan, with higher stress hormone levels associated with the condition.

This study found that higher doses of zinc increased cell growth but also induced cell death in human follicle dermal papilla cells, suggesting a narrow dosage range may affect hair regrowth.

This meta-regression analysis observed a slightly negative but nonsignificant correlation between vitamin D levels and the severity of alopecia areata, suggesting a complex relationship that requires further investigation.

Dermoscopy is useful for diagnosing and monitoring discoid lupus erythematosus by showing specific skin patterns.

This study found that adjusting CO2 laser parameters to 55 W and 0.1–0.15 seconds improved hair graft survival rates to 80-90% in Oriental hair transplant patients.

This study investigated the Mandarin duck as a model for understanding lifelong developmental changes, finding that male sail feather morphogenesis involves a combination of local morphogenetic programs, epigenetic regulation, and hormonal cues, with increased female estrogen levels observed before the mating season.

In this phase 3 trial analysis, baricitinib improved scalp hair growth in adults with severe alopecia areata, with a faster and higher response in those receiving 4 mg compared to 2 mg, but response varied with severity at baseline and continued through week 52.

This genome-wide association study identified several genetic markers, including specific SNPs and HLA genotypes, associated with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Taiwanese population, highlighting key pathways involved in immune response and offering insights into the genetic origins of this autoimmune condition.

This review found that while MSC and EV-based therapies could potentially improve skin and hair rejuvenation, their clinical efficacy is limited by inconsistent study designs and a lack of standardization.

In this study on wound healing, sulfated glycosaminoglycans from sturgeon cartilage enhanced fibroblast cell proliferation, migration, and collagen deposition, significantly accelerating wound closure and promoting re-epithelialization in both in vitro and in vivo tests.

This study found that allergic rhinitis is linked to a higher risk of developing androgenetic alopecia, while second-generation H1-antihistamine use was associated with a reduced risk, especially in younger patients.

This study found that dapagliflozin enhanced mitochondrial quality control and adaptive autophagy in human cardiomyocytes under hypoxic stress, suggesting that these mechanisms may contribute to the cardioprotective effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in ischemic injury.

In this study, a survey in Norway and Sweden among adults with self-reported alopecia areata revealed a substantial economic burden with annual mean costs of €7,677 in Norway and €12,582 in Sweden, largely due to indirect costs from reduced productivity.
