In this study, researchers found that Sundanese mothers in a rural village in West Java frequently used 25 medicinal plant species, primarily from the Zingiberaceae family, during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, with popular preparations including decoctions and cooking.

This study found that activating KATP channels with pinacidil may reduce antioxidant levels and mortality in honey bees, suggesting a role in regulating antiviral immunity through reactive oxygen species.

This study found that women with telogen effluvium had significantly lower serum ferritin and vitamin D levels compared to controls, suggesting these could be diagnostic biomarkers for the condition.

This study found that new rabbit antisera against recombinant mouse involucrin effectively marked keratinocyte differentiation, with comparable expression patterns to human involucrin.

This article reviews the impact of diet on acne, suggesting that dairy and high-glycemic foods may contribute to acne development, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study observed that in Japanese females, hair lipid composition showed significant correlations, suggesting CH and CERs may act as a barrier against sebum-derived lipids.

This study found that prostaglandin receptors are widely expressed in hair follicles, suggesting a complex network of prostanoid pathways involved in hair growth control.

In this study, researchers found that keratinocytes are unlikely to be target cells for androgen, as shown by limited androgen receptor transcriptional activity in keratinocyte cells.

This study found that the hair interior defect in AKR/J mice is linked to a mutation in the Soat1 gene, which disrupts SOAT1 protein expression and affects lipid metabolism critical for normal hair formation.

This study found that angiogenin is expressed in human dermal papilla cells, where it might stimulate hair growth by promoting cell proliferation and local skin angiogenesis.

In this meta-analysis, researchers found that moxibustion combined with oriental herbal medicine may improve pregnancy rates and other outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to western medication alone; however, the evidence is limited by the poor quality of included studies.

This study provided the first proteome dataset for alopecia areata, revealing novel pathways in the disease mechanisms that may lead to new therapeutic targets.

This study suggests that vitamin D-upregulated protein 1 (VDUP1) might play a unique role in regulating the differentiation of epidermal cells.

This study found that recombinant human FGF9 expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana oil bodies significantly promoted the proliferation of NIH/3T3 cells.

This review examined genetic factors in 46, XY differences/disorders of sex development and found that whole-exome sequencing is more effective than panel sequencing for molecular diagnosis. It identified regional genetic variation and emphasized next-generation sequencing's role in detecting variants related to gonadal and androgen-related genes.

This study found that chi-miR-30b-5p was more expressed in the telogen phase than in the anagen phase and inhibited dermal papilla cell proliferation by targeting CaMKIIδ.

This study found distinct differences in protein expression and wound healing pathways between Acomys cahirinus and Mus musculus, highlighting potential targets for reducing fibrotic response in mammals.

This study developed a reliable and convenient cell-based model to screen for type II 5α-reductase inhibitors, identifying Curcumae longae and Mori ramulus extracts as potential candidates.

This study confirmed that chi-miR-130b-3p regulates the proliferation of epithelial cells and dermal fibroblasts by targeting the WNT10A gene, which may help maintain hair follicle structure.

This study identified proteins that are differentially expressed in balding versus non-balding dermal papilla cells, potentially aiding the understanding and treatment of androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that Gsdma3 mutations in mice led to thicker skin and longer hair infundibula, possibly by negatively regulating β-catenin expression in the epidermis.

This study reported that Longdan Xiegan decoction is more effective than conventional western medicine alone in treating eczema, but the evidence quality was generally low, highlighting the need for further studies.

This study isolated a bioactive peptide from Trapa japonica fruit and found that it may protect human dermal papilla cells from DHT-induced stress, suggesting potential for biomedical applications.

This study reported that the Undiagnosed Disease Program at Ghent University Hospital successfully provided definite diagnoses for 18% of referred adults with suspected rare diseases, primarily through genomic technologies.

This study found no significant laboratory differences between Caucasian adults with non-cicatricial alopecia and healthy controls, but reported that affected individuals were significantly younger, suggesting that lifestyle and diet might contribute to early hair loss risk.

This study found that protein arginine methylation levels in human hair may correlate with a cardiovascular biomarker in blood, suggesting hair sampling as a potential non-invasive method for cardiovascular risk assessment.

This study identified molecular elements controlling the expression and stabilization of THH protein in hair follicle cells, revealing key mechanisms that support hair shaft development in mice.

This study identified a gene transcript overexpressed in dermal papilla cells, showing strong similarity to a mouse gene associated with adipose tissue in bombesin receptor subtype-3-deficient mice.

This study suggests that TGF-alpha may function in an autocrine or juxtacrine manner rather than promoting cell proliferation during hair growth cycles in ferrets and sheep.
