research Bidirectional Barbed Sutures for Wound Closure: Evolution and Applications
Bidirectional barbed sutures are effective and can reduce surgery time, with a low infection rate and potential cost savings despite being more expensive.
research Cutaneous Manifestations of Eating Disorders
Eating disorders can cause skin problems that need treating the underlying condition for better health.
research Comparison of the effects of the K+-channel openers cromakalim and minoxidil sulphate on vascular smooth muscle
Cromakalim relaxes various blood vessels, while minoxidil sulphate is more selective; they likely act on different potassium channels.
research Middle East Medicinal Plants in the Treatment of Diabetes: A Review
Some Middle Eastern plants may help treat diabetes and could be alternatives to current drugs, but more research is needed.
research Tea Tree Oil Concentration in Follicular Casts After Topical Delivery: Determination by High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography Using a Perfused Bovine Udder Model

research Signalling couples hair follicle stem cell quiescence with reduced histone H3 K4/K9/K27me3 for proper tissue homeostasis
Certain signals are important for reducing specific chemical markers on hair follicle stem cells during rest periods, which is necessary for healthy hair growth.
research Endocrine disorders in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome: a systematic review of the literature
Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome often causes sexual development issues, hair loss, learning disabilities, deafness, muscle contractions, limb pain, and diabetes.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Melanocyte and gonad activity as potential severity modifying factors in C3H/HeJ mouse alopecia areata
Gonadal hormones significantly affect the severity of alopecia areata in mice.

Most hair loss in captive rhesus macaques is likely due to environmental and behavioral factors.
research Clinical applications of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens are effective for conditions like prostate cancer and skin issues, but more research is needed to confirm their benefits and minimize side effects.
research Variation in human hair ultrastructure among three biogeographic populations
Different populations have distinct hair structures related to their ancestry.
research Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy for Transgender Men
Testosterone therapy seems safe and effective for transgender men with proper care, but more long-term research is needed.
research Development of gene therapy for inner ear disease: Using bilateral vestibular hypofunction as a vehicle for translational research
Gene therapy, especially using atoh1, shows promise for creating functional sensory hair cells in the inner ear, but dosing and side effects need to be managed for clinical application.
research Self‐organizing hair peg‐like structures from dissociated skin progenitor cells: New insights for human hair follicle organoid engineering and Turing patterning in an asymmetric morphogenetic field
Researchers created early-stage hair-like structures from skin cells, showing how these cells can self-organize, but more is needed for complete hair growth.
