In this case report, follicular unit extraction successfully treated stable segmental vitiligo in the inguinoscrotal region.

This study found that a silicone gel dressing was well-tolerated and may accelerate early wound healing compared to Bacitracin in patients undergoing follicular unit extraction, but both achieved similar outcomes by day 7.

This review highlights the promise of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) as biomarkers for sepsis, emphasizing their potential to improve early detection and guide therapeutic decisions by reflecting the immune status and pathogen presence in patients.

This study analyzed venture capital investments in plastic surgery from 2003 to 2023, finding $1.98 billion invested with a focus on general and facial cosmetic surgery, particularly minimally invasive devices, highlighting venture capital's significant role in shaping innovation in the sector.

This study reported that surgical treatments for vitiligo, including tissue and cellular grafting methods, are safe and effective in selected patients, although specific advantages and disadvantages vary by technique.

BOOST is a promising, easy-to-use treatment for diabetic foot ulcers that improves healing by reducing inflammation and promoting blood vessel growth.

This review discusses the potential of adipose-derived stem cell extracellular vesicles (ADSC-EVs) in skin regeneration, highlighting mechanisms like inflammation and angiogenesis, but reports no new clinical results; challenges and future prospects are also considered.

The study reported that vismodegib showed significant effectiveness in treating basal cell carcinoma, particularly in patients with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome or locally advanced BCC, but also highlighted substantial side effects, requiring careful management to prevent treatment resistance and maintain remission.
