In this study, researchers estimated that 80% of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 experienced at least one long-term symptom, with fatigue being the most common.

In this study, researchers identified 18 genetic associations with scalp and facial hair traits in Latin Americans, including novel loci for hair greying and balding, with implications for understanding hair evolution.

This meta-analysis estimated that around 80% of patients who had COVID-19 experienced at least one long-term symptom, with fatigue being the most common reported effect.

In this study, thymosin beta4 was found to stimulate hair growth in normal rats and mice by affecting key processes in the hair follicle cycle, such as stem cell migration and extracellular matrix remodeling.

This study concluded that Wnt/β-catenin signaling, through Shh and Bmp pathways, is crucial for determining hair follicle fate in embryonic epidermal development.

This study found that transgenic mice expressing human keratin K8 in the epidermis showed increased progression of skin lesions toward malignancy, suggesting a role for K8 in the development of invasive skin cancer.

This review discusses various skin manifestations associated with COVID-19, emphasizing their potential role in early diagnosis and management of the infection, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers found no significant association between the D19S884 marker near the insulin receptor gene and polycystic ovary syndrome in women from Spain and Italy.

This Italian guideline discusses the diagnosis and treatment of alopecia areata but reports no new clinical trial results; the authors highlight the need for well-designed studies.

This study presents a method using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography to accurately assess the depth of burn wound damage in the dermal collagen matrix, potentially improving diagnosis beyond traditional visual methods.

Martin-Perez et al. show that rapamycin's beneficial effects in a mouse model of Leigh syndrome are linked to the downregulation of protein kinase C.

This research analyzed 72 primary scarring alopecia cases in a Barcelona hospital, finding that the majority involved women, with a lymphocytic infiltrate and subacute onset in many cases, leading to stable disease, while neutrophilic cases had more acute episodes.

This study reviewed the literature on low-dose oral minoxidil as a primary treatment for various hair loss disorders, concluding that it is a successful and well-tolerated alternative to topical minoxidil for patients with poor adherence to other therapies.

This study developed a mouse model to monitor hair follicle cycling macroscopically through live bioluminescence imaging, enabling detailed analysis of hair cycle and propagation dynamics influenced by environmental factors.

This study concluded that standard decontamination procedures do not fully remove external contamination from post mortem hair specimens, which complicates using hair analysis to assess long-term drug exposure.

This review discusses the use of microneedling for androgenetic alopecia and finds it promising for enhancing hair density and thickness, especially when combined with other treatments, but notes no standardized protocol exists yet.

This article discusses clinical features and treatment options for hyperandrogenism in women and does not report new findings, highlighting current practices in diagnosis and management.

This study assessed various androgens' diagnostic effectiveness for hyperandrogenaemia in PCOS using ROC curve analysis, but it reports no specific new results.

This report describes a case of secondary syphilis with an unusual folliculocentric papular eruption in an HIV-positive patient, underlining the diagnostic challenges and importance of biopsy with treponemal staining in such cases.

This study found that in a mouse model of Leigh syndrome, rapamycin alters brain proteome and may extend survival by targeting protein kinase C.

This study highlights the significant risk of vascular embolism associated with hyaluronic acid filler injections, emphasizing concerns about potential irreversible damage when fillers are injected in "unexplored" facial areas due to complex and variable facial anatomy.

This case study reports the first clinical case of besnoitiosis in two donkeys in Italy, suggesting a wider distribution of the disease in European equids than previously expected.

This guideline summarizes evidence-based and expert-based recommendations for treating androgenetic alopecia, adapted by an Italian expert group in alignment with Italian pharmacological policies.

This study concluded that the GIANT brain atlas, which integrates genetic and neuroanatomical variations, provides a more accurate representation of brain structure than traditional neuroanatomical atlases, allowing for better exploration of genetic influences on the brain.

This study found that during the early pandemic months of 2020, there was a significant increase in dermatological conditions linked to stress and behavioral changes compared to the same period in 2019.

In a cell-free test setting, this study found that a novel saw palmetto extract effectively inhibited the 5α-reductase type II enzyme, showing promising bioactivity comparable to finasteride for promoting prostate health.

In this research, the authors identify coordinated mechanical forces as crucial for hair follicle development in mammals, with contractile, proliferative, and proteolytic activities facilitating the formation and sectioning of epithelial structures crucial for forming a functional tissue.

This study proposes a simple fluorescence method to evaluate hair damage and protection, suggesting that emissive properties of hair can aid in substantiating cosmetic claims.
