This review summarizes late-breaking abstracts from the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, 2018, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNA repair defects in the disease.

This study developed three spectrophotometric methods to effectively measure finasteride in bulk and tablet forms, providing accurate results that align closely with labeled claims.

This review discusses unspecific factors involved in the pathogenesis of skin diseases and potential ways cytokeratin changes might alleviate these conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a hydro-alcoholic extract of Roselle petals may reduce free radical production during UV-induced photodecomposition of antibiotics, potentially offering protective benefits for patients using similar topical antibiotics.

This study developed and validated a UV spectrophotometric method for accurately measuring finasteride and tamsulosin in solutions and tablets, demonstrating good sensitivity and precision.

This review discusses the effects of visible light on human skin, highlighting its role in pigmentation, thermal damage, and the treatment of several skin conditions, while noting limited sunscreen protection against it; no new clinical results are reported.

This study found that higher concentrations of copper (II) ions in human hair increase protein oxidative modification, contributing to hair damage regardless of UV exposure and pigmentation level.

This study developed a precise and reliable UV spectrophotometric method for determining finasteride concentration in bulk and tablets, demonstrating strong linearity and accuracy.

HEV light can harm or help skin and scalp, so safe exposure guidelines are needed.

This study found that facial sun damage scores from UV photography correlate with skin cancer and melanoma risk factors, suggesting this technology may help identify individuals at higher risk.

This study highlights a comprehensive approach for authenticating and assessing the quality of herbal medicines using a combination of physiological, morphological, and molecular techniques, including HPTLC, ICP-MS, UV spectroscopy, and DNA barcoding, to ensure the standardization of herbal medicinal products, particularly Eclipta alba.

This study found that sulforaphane-rich broccoli sprout extracts reduced UV-induced erythema by 37.7% in humans, suggesting a protective strategy against UVR damage.

This study found that ultraviolet radiation negatively affects hair follicle functions in human scalp skin, and caffeine application may provide some protective effects against this damage.

This study identified known and potential novel adverse events, such as squamous cell carcinoma and dehydration, for vismodegib, underlining the importance of monitoring especially in the first two months of treatment.

This study used a 3D simulation to show that human hair provides varying levels of UV protection depending on head orientation and hair alignment, highlighting hair's role in scalp UV protection, especially for those with alopecia.

This study developed HA-gel-dex hydrogels with enhanced ECM-like properties and functionality, showing promise for 3D bioprinting, tissue repair, and as wound dressings due to improved cell interaction, cytocompatibility, antimicrobial synergy, and wound healing in mice compared to traditional ECM bio-inks.

This study found that administering mesenchymal stem cells to UV-exposed mice reduced melanin levels, although the decrease was not statistically significant.

This study found that a single dose of TRP significantly reduced the number of UV-B-induced actinic keratosis lesions in a mouse model and was associated with improved skin histology and minimal side effects.

This study found that UV laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy can effectively differentiate between types of alopecia in patients, showing a high correlation between blood circulation levels and tissue autofluorescence intensity.

This study found that arylsulfatase enzymes in hair follicles can convert the active form of minoxidil back to its inactive form, potentially affecting its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the effectiveness of non-thermal, non-ablative devices like light-emitting diodes in treating various skin and hair conditions but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that vismodegib was effective in treating basal cell carcinoma, achieving complete remission in some patients; however, significant side effects often required careful management to prevent therapy suspension, which can lead to resistance.

This study found that extracellular ATP released from UVB-irradiated keratinocytes promotes melanin production through the P2X7 receptor, indicating a role for ATP-P2X7 signaling in UV-induced melanogenesis.

This study found a widespread vitamin D deficiency among medical laboratory visitors in Misurata City, with 80.42% of females and 19.57% of males affected, and higher deficiency rates during winter and spring, particularly in individuals aged 35–45.

This source describes vitiligo as a chronic condition marked by the loss of skin pigmentation and discusses leukotrichia, a feature affecting 10% to 60% of cases, which arises from melanocyte loss in hair follicles and appears as well-defined white patches on the skin.

This narrative review summarizes evidence on NAD⁺ biosynthesis and turnover, highlighting that while NAD⁺ precursors like NR and NMN consistently boost NAD⁺ levels in preclinical and human studies, clinical outcome results remain varied, indicating a need for more standardized human trials.

This paper reviews hair structure and damage from grooming and cosmetic exposure but reports no new clinical findings; it suggests collaboration between dermatologists and cosmetic chemists to improve hair care products.

This study found that Silibinin-loaded polymeric micelles significantly protected human hair from UV-B induced structural and chemical damage by preventing increases in roughness and reducing protein loss.

This article reviews advancements in hair transplantation, highlighting robotic and follicular unit techniques, and discusses adjuvant modalities like platelet-rich plasma, lasers, and stem cells without reporting new clinical results.
