This pilot study found that cord blood platelet-rich plasma treatment was safe and improved symptoms and sexual function in women with vulvar lichen sclerosus after standard topical corticosteroid treatment.

In this study, researchers investigated genetic variants in pharmacogenes affecting tadalafil and finasteride pharmacokinetics, finding fed volunteers had higher drug exposure than fasting individuals, but genetic variation did not significantly impact pharmacokinetics after correcting for multiple comparisons.

This abstract reviews the use of low dose oral minoxidil as a monotherapy for hair loss and reports no new clinical data.

This study found that piglets' rapid growth during nursery and lactation was linked to changes in microbiota composition and increased cortisol conversion, highlighting critical early life factors influencing adult microbiota establishment.

This case study documents the co-existence of trichorhinophalangeal syndrome and loose anagen syndrome in a patient, highlighting a previously unreported association between the two conditions.

This review discusses the role of physical activity in healthy aging and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for integrating exercise into daily life and social settings.

This research reported that STAT5 activation in the dermal papilla plays a crucial role in triggering anagen entry during post-developmental hair follicle cycling.

Hormonal therapy is effective for treating acne in adult women, especially with signs of high androgen levels.

This study found that psychiatric adverse drug reactions were more frequently reported with finasteride than with dutasteride, but it remains unclear if there is a causal relationship.

This study found that depleting fibroblasts in the skin does not affect the proliferative capacity of epidermal stem cells at various ages, suggesting robust compensatory mechanisms maintain skin functionality despite these cellular changes.

Serenoa repens extract may help hair growth in both men and women.

Early diagnosis and tailored treatment are crucial to prevent permanent hair loss and support self-esteem in children with scarring alopecia.

The supplement may improve hair growth and quality in women with mild to moderate hair loss.

This case report from a German study detailed a 2-year-old girl with virilization and precocious puberty due to a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor, finding that post-surgery, her elevated hormone levels normalized within a week, and ongoing follow-up showed no need for chemotherapy.

In this study, a mouse model with a PIK3CA gain-of-function mutation in Schwann cells revealed unique communication with neighboring cells and a glycolytic shift in peripheral nerves, and early alpelisib treatment significantly improved symptoms, though efficacy declined with delayed administration due to limited drug penetration.

This narrative review compiled evidence suggesting that microneedling can effectively and safely improve skin conditions like scars, hyperpigmentation, and aging, provided it is performed correctly, by stimulating collagen production and enhancing topical treatment penetration.

This study found that many young women with breast cancer experience a poor quality of life over time, especially regarding sexual health, future perspective, and hair loss.

In this case study, a woman with SLE and severe alopecia showed improved hair growth using intralesional triamcinolone, PRP injections, and tacrolimus ointment, highlighting PRP as a potential adjunct therapy for inflammatory alopecia.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized microscopic alterations in alopecia areata, suggesting its potential use in diagnosis and monitoring.

This study evaluated low dose oral minoxidil as a treatment for female pattern hair loss but reports no new clinical results.

This case study reported the first diagnosis of IFAP syndrome in Brazil with molecular investigation, identifying a rare MBTPS2 gene variant and expanding the known mutational spectrum associated with the condition.

This review discusses alopecia in elderly patients, differentiating between normal hair aging and pathological changes, and reports no new clinical results; the authors aim to guide clinicians in management.

In this case report, isotretinoin treatment led to complete remission of folliculitis decalvans lesions in a 26-year-old male after a year and a half, despite the lack of certain histopathology images and control tests; the findings also suggest potential familial clustering needing further genetic investigation.

This study evaluated a new high-power, 810 nm diode laser for hair removal, finding it to be effective and safe, with a mean hair reduction of 74.4% in one session, and noted it worked efficiently on both large and small areas with minimal side effects.

Targeted therapy for skin cancer is complex due to the role of the hedgehog pathway in both cancer and hair growth.

This study described four adult male cases of Kennedy disease with typical neurological symptoms and noted gynecomastia as the most frequent endocrinological manifestation, accompanied by an abnormal expansion in the androgen receptor gene.

Hair removal with intense pulsed light can cause rare skin lesions that are hard to fully treat.

This research concluded that Snail2's absence in myeloid progenitors promotes tumor progression in mice, and specific zinc fingers are crucial for Snail1 and Snail2's roles in establishing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
