This study presents the first reported case of kerion-type scalp mycosis caused by Aspergillus protuberus, emphasizing the importance of mycological examination when diagnosing unusual scalp infections, especially in children.

This review discusses potential treatments for androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new findings, emphasizing the importance of individualized antiandrogenic management to minimize side effects.

This study found that in patients with nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, genotypes do not reliably predict the severity of hyperandrogenic symptoms, suggesting other genetic factors may influence the phenotype.

This study examined the pharmacokinetics of finasteride in pigs and found that ketoconazole coadministration affected its distribution across various plasma compartments, bile, and urine.

This study found that thermal hair-straightening devices significantly damaged the cuticle and cortex of virgin Asian and Caucasian hair, with Asian hair experiencing more protein loss than Caucasian hair.

Nanocarriers could improve how drugs are delivered through the skin but require more research to overcome challenges and ensure safety.

This study found that regio-specific hydroxylation of cyclosporine A in Sebekia benihana is mediated by the cytochrome P450 hydroxylase CYP-sb21, suggesting potential biotechnological applications for hair growth promotion without immunosuppressive effects.

This study constructed a panel of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic genes, revealing that current SNP chips insufficiently capture many drug-response gene variants, highlighting the need for complementary genetic approaches.

This study found no evidence that androgen receptor copy number variation is associated with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting it is unlikely to be a contributing factor.

This study found that alkali bromide solutions are absorbed into hair depending on salt activity, and the presence of the salt increases water absorption compared to normal conditions.

In this study, the researchers successfully increased dipicolinic acid production in Bacillus subtilis by genetically modifying the spoVF operon, achieving a significant productivity improvement in the culture medium.

In this study, researchers developed and tested a gel containing apocynin-loaded nanoparticles that showed promising results in treating rheumatoid arthritis in rats, suggesting potential for novel topical treatments in inflammatory conditions.

This review discusses the challenges in identifying specific hair follicle antigens involved in initiating alopecia areata and highlights the need for further research to understand its etiopathogenesis, reporting no new results.

This study found that Wnt5a regulates hair follicle differentiation in mice by mediating epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and influencing dermal papilla cell activities.

Finasteride increases hair growth, prolongs hair cycle, and lowers dihydrotestosterone levels.

This study identified a novel homozygous EDNRA variant linked to Oro-Oto-Cardiac Syndrome and showed that EDNRA signaling is essential for normal craniofacial and cardiovascular development.

This study reports a unique case of common variable immunodeficiency with autoimmunity linked to a heterozygous S250C variant in the autoimmune regulator gene, suggesting a potential molecular basis for this combination.

This study found that while both natural and bioengineered salivary glands showed similar protein concentrations in response to taste stimulation, their protein compositions and amylase concentrations differed, which may affect nerve signal balance.

This study identified FP-1 as a highly specific extracellular matrix protein in follicular papilla cells, which may play a role in hair growth regulation during specific hair cycle phases.

This review outlines the development and functional requirements of modern wound dressing materials and describes preparation methods and product performance, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the development and use of induced pluripotent stem cell models and artificial organoids for studying neurodevelopmental disorders, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of alopecia areata, while investigating potential genetic, environmental, and immunological factors involved in its etiology, but reports no new findings.

This review discusses the relationship between ectodermal alterations and immunodeficiencies, particularly the roles of hyper-IgE syndrome, ectodermal dysplasia, and FOXN1 gene mutations, but it presents no new research findings.

This research found that ethosomes significantly enhanced finasteride delivery into the dermis of human cadaver skin compared to liposomes in an in vitro study.

In this study, TC-1 cells, resembling stromal cells formed by epithelial-mesenchymal transition, significantly affected the behavior of normal human keratinocytes, supporting the role of stromal cells in tumor progression.

This source reports that tofacitinib and ruxolitinib showed potential efficacy and acceptable safety profiles in treating various autoimmune disorders, including alopecia areata and psoriasis, based on a review of clinical studies, while recommending physicians consider the individual risks and benefits.

This study found that human mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing JAM-A improved hair follicle structure and hair formation in mice by reducing abnormalities such as curved and zigzagged follicles.

This study found that bulge-derived keratinocytes from human follicles were more resistant to differentiation compared to epidermal keratinocytes, possibly due to WIF-1 involvement.

This study identified a new clinical variant of adult adrenomyeloneuropathy characterized by hypoplasia and agenesis of the corpus callosum, associated with a novel ABCD1 gene mutation.

This research observed that finasteride-loaded ethosomes showed improved permeation across rat skin and human cadaver scalp skin compared to unencapsulated finasteride, potentially enhancing delivery to hair follicle units.
