Targeting drugs to hair follicles can treat skin conditions, but reaching deep follicle areas is hard and needs more research.

This study in Mosul City, Iraq, examined mange infestation in rabbits, finding that 43.1% of 130 rabbits were infested, with Sarcoptes scabiei var. cuniculi being most prevalent, and noted no significant gender differences but age-related variations in infestation rates.

This review examines the prevalence and symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) across different ages, highlighting its varied dermatological and reproductive implications, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that overexpression of β-catenin in bipotent Schwann-cell precursors promotes melanocyte development in limb areas by inducing MITF and repressing FoxD3, especially during a specific developmental timeframe.

This review discusses the interplay between signaling/transcription factor-mediated and epigenetic mechanisms in skin development and regeneration, highlighting the need for further exploration of epigenome reorganization in these processes.

This study found that human hair follicles can be used to generate induced pluripotent stem cells, which can then efficiently differentiate back into keratinocytes.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia were generally satisfied after receiving six sessions of PRP mesotherapy combined with nocturnal minoxidil 5% application.

This review concluded that corticosteroids improve muscle strength and function in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy over short-term periods, but evidence on prolonging walking ability remains insufficient, and side effects are common.

This study found that TRPA1-deficient mice exhibited normal cold sensitivity but had decreased mechanical response in nociceptors, suggesting TRPA1's role in mechanotransduction.

Four genetic risk spots found for hair loss, with WNT signaling involved and a link to curly hair.

This study found no evidence of androgen deficiency or decreased peripheral androgen action in men with persistent sexual symptoms after finasteride use, but identified links to depressed mood and abnormal brain function.

In this study, socially defeated mice showed increased alcohol consumption, and CRF-R1 antagonism selectively reduced drinking in these mice, suggesting a potential treatment target for stress-related alcohol use disorders.

Using finasteride with TIP extends time off period for prostate cancer patients.

This study found that specific SHBG gene variants and haplotypes are associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting that SHBG may be a candidate gene for the condition.

In this study, certain genetic variations in the ESR1 and ESR2 genes were strongly associated with polycystic ovary syndrome and related metabolic issues in Tunisian women.

In this study, despite most patients recognizing alopecia areata as serious and adhering to treatment, psychological well-being remained adversely affected by the disease, highlighting the need for larger studies to better address these psychological impacts.

This review revisits the mechanisms of wound induced hair follicle neogenesis in mice and concludes that the process involves canonical WNT signaling activated by Fgf9 from γδ T cells, but more research is needed to fully understand its cellular bases.

This study suggests that heparan sulfate is crucial for regulating hair follicle formation, cycling, and gland morphogenesis, with its ablation leading to continuous hair growth and increased gland activity in mice.

In this mouse study, hair growth defects associated with the Gk5 null allele were partially alleviated by simvastatin treatment, suggesting GK5 plays a key role in skin-specific cholesterol regulation.

This study identified two new Wnt genes, EsWnt1 and EsWnt4, in red starfish, with their expression patterns suggesting a role in wound healing and regeneration.

Many COVID-19 survivors experience long-term symptoms like fatigue and sleep issues, needing ongoing medical support.

This study in SPF lambs found that primary and secondary orf virus infections trigger similar skin responses, but the primary infection caused a more severe and prolonged reaction.

This study found that acne was the most common dermatological manifestation in Korean women with polycystic ovary syndrome, particularly those with a specific combination of symptoms, showing distinct variations in serum hormonal and metabolic parameters.

This study determined that most elemental concentrations in Mexican medicinal plants were similar to agricultural products, with bromine being an exception.

This study found that seed oil of Caragana korshinskii demonstrated high antifungal efficacy against Trichophyton mentagrophytes in an in vivo guinea pig model of dermatophytosis.

This study found that a commercially available shampoo significantly increased hair counts and reduced hair shedding in Korean subjects with alopecia over 16 weeks.

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.

In this study, minoxidil sulphate was observed to significantly increase DNA synthesis in cultured human hair follicles in a concentration-dependent manner.

This study suggests that M2 macrophages play a key role in promoting wound-induced hair neogenesis in mice by producing growth factors like Igf1 and Fgf2.

This study found that combining bromhexine and spironolactone was effective in improving clinical outcomes and reducing viral load or hospitalization duration in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.
