This article discusses the development and contributors of the third edition of the Plastic Surgery textbook, highlighting its expansion to six volumes covering topics like aesthetic plastic surgery, but presents no new clinical results.

This study found that metabolic adaptations in skin epithelial stem cells, specifically redox ratio recovery and glycolytic flux modulation, define competitive outcomes between wild-type and mutant cells in different oncogenic environments.

This article provides an interview with Felix Brockschmidt about his award-winning work on the genetics of male pattern androgenetic alopecia, focusing on the androgen receptor and findings on chromosome 20p11, and reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the lasting impact of a 1951 J. Exp. Biol. paper on skin grafting methods and transplantation tolerance, which significantly influenced the field of transplantation biology.

This study found that miR-22 regulates hair loss in mice by causing premature regression of hair follicles and suggests the importance of the microRNA regulatory network in understanding hair cycling and loss.

In this study, the researchers established a dose–response relationship between the hair follicle dose during cranial irradiation and the development of permanent alopecia, with other factors showing limited correlation.

This study concluded that the receptor-like kinase ERULUS, regulated by auxin, is crucial for modulating cell wall composition and pectin dynamics during root hair growth in Arabidopsis.

This study concluded that heterozygous NFKB2 mutations lead to a distinct and severe form of primary immunodeficiency with early onset, primarily T cell-mediated autoimmunity, and impaired B-cell differentiation.

This study demonstrates that young coconut juice appears to have estrogen-like properties that can accelerate wound healing in ovariectomized rats.

A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.

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 review explores keyword advertising in online advertising, noting its appeal due to audience reach and campaign optimization, but reports no new research data.

In this retrospective study from five Colombian cities, researchers detailed the clinical characteristics of 562 alopecia areata patients, noting that multiple plaques and the patchy subtype were common, with steroid injections frequently used as treatment.

This study found that women who wear the hijab have a different scalp microbiome composition compared to those who do not, with specific bacteria and fungi more prominent in each group, suggesting a higher susceptibility to seborrheic dermatitis among hijab wearers.

This study formulated an ointment using ethanolic extract from M. paradisiaca unripe peels and found that while the extract alone showed higher antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli than the ointment, strategies to enhance the ointment's activity could be explored.

This study reviewed 562 alopecia areata patients in Colombia, observing a higher prevalence in women and common use of steroid injections and topical minoxidil as treatments.

This study describes common skin disorders in palliative care patients, emphasizing that conditions like xerosis, pressure ulcers, and fungal infections often require symptomatic treatment focused on quality of life rather than cure, due to limited life expectancy and potential treatment burdens.

This research discusses Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, life-threatening conditions often induced by immune-mediated drug reactions. Optimal management involves early diagnosis, drug withdrawal, and supportive therapy, though evidence for systemic treatments like corticosteroids and cyclosporin remains variable and lacks randomized controlled trial confirmation.

This case report highlights that rosacea can be misdiagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus, with symptom improvement seen after switching from long-term corticosteroid use to topical metronidazole, nicotinamide, and tretinoin.

This case study identified a probable pure testosterone-secreting ovarian tumor in a woman with increased facial hair and elevated testosterone levels, confirmed by histological examination as Leydig cells hyperplasia, which normalized testosterone and symptoms post-surgery.

This review discusses polycystic ovary syndrome, its diagnosis criteria, and treatment options, including weight loss and medications, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the substantial impact of alopecia areata on patients' health-related quality of life, highlighting issues such as personality changes, emotional and social difficulties, and a common occurrence of alexithymia, and emphasizes the need for more specific assessment tools.

This study found that dermal sheath stem cell characteristics are lost with aging in humans, affecting skin rejuvenation and structure, and identified specific proteins like Activin A influencing keratinocyte and fibroblast activity.

This study found that the Alopecia Areata Patient Priority Outcomes questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for measuring the severity and impact of hair loss in individuals with alopecia areata.

This study developed the Alopecia Areata Patient Priority Outcome (AAPPO), a new tool designed to measure and capture the symptoms and impacts of alopecia areata that matter most to patients.

In this study using mice, researchers found that the Piezo1 channel regulates metabolic changes and immune cell infiltration during skin growth under tension, with altered expression of glycolysis-related genes and increased macrophage activity observed in stretched skin.

This study found that selenium therapy could normalize metabolic and endocrine markers and improve clinical outcomes in cystic fibrosis patients, with stable benefits when administered at a lower dosage over a year.

This narrative review found that combined oral contraceptives remain the primary treatment for hirsutism and acne in women with PCOS, but highlighted the need for further research to refine therapeutic options given the variable efficacy and emerging treatments like GLP-1 receptor agonists.

This study identified that the ethanol extract of Selaginella doederleinii may enhance the effectiveness of doxorubicin in treating cervical cancer cells while also providing chemopreventive benefits.

Collagen scaffolds in cell therapy can transform skin to be more resilient and pressure-responsive.
