This study found that TSC2-null fibroblast cells from TSC skin hamartomas can induce hair follicle formation and hamartomatous changes in keratinocytes, with active mTOR signaling observable in a mouse xenograft model.

This study found that micro-needling combined with topical 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was more effective in treating vitiligo patches than topical tacrolimus, with significant improvement observed in six patients, although it caused mild side effects like erythema and irritation.

A patient with alopecia had hair regrowth with tofacitinib but developed a skin reaction, choosing to continue the treatment despite the side effect.

Minoxidil topical foam is a better, less irritating treatment for hair loss.

This study found that dimethylpabamidopropyl laurdimonium tosylate, a quaternary ammonium surfactant, adsorbs onto human scalp hair with kinetic and isotherm behaviors fitting specific models, changing hair fiber wettability from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.

This study found that astaxanthin-loaded mucoadhesive patches effectively promoted recovery of oral premalignant lesions in vivo without the side effects seen with clinical tretinoin cream.

This study found that caffeine and flufenamic acid penetrated porcine skin more effectively through hair follicles, while the importance of the follicular pathway varied for other substances tested.

This study found that tight junctions extend to the most superficial layer of the stratum granulosum in human skin, challenging previous claims of their limited presence in the epidermis.

In this study, topical tacrolimus 0.03% cream showed good to excellent response in treating alopecia areata in 70% of participants, with no cutaneous or systemic side effects observed.

This review revisits hair-thread tourniquet syndrome, highlighting the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment by removing the constricting hair or similar substance to prevent damage to affected body parts, aiming to raise healthcare professionals' awareness for better prevention and management.

In this study, inactivating the TAF4 subunit of transcription factor TFIID in mouse epidermis disrupted gene expression linked to skin and hair function, and increased tumor risk.

This study developed a niosomal delivery system loaded with tretinoin and bicalutamide, optimized for follicular targeting in acne management, showing promising accumulation in hair follicles in animal models.

Fungi-produced compounds can change plant root growth.

This study reported six pediatric cases of temporal triangular alopecia and highlighted the use of trichoscopy to distinguish it by detecting a distinctive carpet of vellus hair, helping to differentiate TTA from other hair loss conditions.

This article presents a case of trichostasis spinulosa, a common but often unrecognized disorder, diagnosed through dermoscopic examination of black macules revealing bundled vellus hairs, with the patient declining treatment.

This case report describes a 3-year-old boy diagnosed with temporal triangular alopecia, emphasizing the importance of clinical and dermoscopic examination for correct diagnosis due to the condition's rarity and risk of misdiagnosis.

This study observed that topically applied RTA 408 reduced the severity of radiation-induced dermatitis in mice, with the highest dose significantly reducing and alleviating skin damage and associated inflammation.

This study evaluated the effects of topical glucocorticoids on human skin using non-invasive imaging methods and observed changes such as alterations in skin layer thickness, keratinocyte size, and collagen and elastin signal intensity.

This article reviews various dermatophyte infections, particularly tinea capitis, and discusses their clinical presentations, diagnosis, and treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

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.

This study found that applying a topical inhibitor of TGF-β1 may enhance scar maturation and improve the appearance of hypertrophic scars in a nude mouse model after two weeks.

This case report highlights a rare association between congenital triangular alopecia and vitiligo, noting that treatment with tofacitinib improved the patient's vitiligo but not the alopecia.

This case report describes a 36-year-old man with tinea incognito manifesting as asymptomatic, flat patches of alopecia, which did not improve with standard treatments.

This article reviews the development of follicular unit transplantation for hair replacement, highlighting its ability to provide natural-looking results with minimal recovery time, but results depend heavily on the skill and planning of the practitioner.

This case report describes a 65-year-old man diagnosed with a trichofolliculoma, a benign tumor originating from hair follicles, which appeared as a persistent pore on his cheek.

This case report identifies a 13-year-old boy with disseminated tinea incognito, emphasizing the importance of considering fungal infections when red and scaly lesions persist despite corticosteroid treatment.

This source discusses using stratum corneum ablation as a promising method to enhance transdermal drug delivery by temporarily removing the skin's outermost barrier to improve medication absorption.

This study introduced a Density-Calibrated Airtouch Protocol (DCAP) that suggests customizing the Airtouch hair coloring technique based on client hair density to optimize color blend, pigment longevity, and hair health.
