This study found that combining oral isotretinoin with topical treatments was more effective than topical treatments alone for improving frontal fibrosing alopecia symptoms, despite some side effects.

This study reports a novel LC/MS method that separates and analyzes all known ceramide subclasses in human stratum corneum, identifying a new subclass, CER [EOdS], with minimal sample preparation.

In this study, low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss was associated with infrequent systemic adverse effects, and only 1.7% of patients discontinued treatment due to these effects.

In this study, low-dose oral minoxidil was found to have a favorable safety profile for treating alopecia, with mostly mild side effects, in both general and hypertensive populations.

This study describes three cases of dermatomyositis-like disease in mongrel dogs with compatible clinical findings and outcomes following slightly different treatment protocols.

In a depilated mouse model, this study found that blocking CXCL4 activity with an anti-CXCL4 monoclonal antibody promoted hair growth by inducing an earlier anagen phase, delaying hair follicle regression, and altering expression of genes and proteins related to hair growth and cell proliferation.

This study found that patients with chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus had elevated serum levels of interleukin 31, suggesting a possible role of this cytokine in the condition.

This review discusses the clinical applications and adverse effects of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia, noting controversies around their implications for other diseases, without reporting new results.

This case series reports on five cats who experienced moderate to severe skin reactions after receiving the frunevetmab injection, noting pruritus, alopecia, and ulcerations developing within days of treatment.

This case report describes a 23-year-old man experiencing painful gynecomastia aggravated by low dose finasteride for androgenetic alopecia, which reversed after stopping the medication.

This case report observed that a 23-year-old man developed painful unilateral gynecomastia after two months of low-dose finasteride treatment for male androgenetic alopecia, which resolved after discontinuation.

This study reported that while no synthesized compounds surpassed finasteride in 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, certain 4-azasteroid-2-oximes exhibited notable inhibition.

Combining platelet-rich plasma with 5% minoxidil solution improves hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia patients.

This study developed a rapid and sensitive method for determining finasteride concentrations in pharmaceuticals, with results comparable to those from the standard HPLC method.

In this study, Ageratum houstonianum ethanolic extract and its active component agerarin were found to promote hair growth and follicle elongation by increasing SCUBE3 expression via activation of MAPK–AP-1 signaling in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential therapeutic value for treating hair loss.

The authors concluded that a finasteride every other month regimen had similar maintenance effects to a daily regimen in men with androgenetic alopecia.

Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, but it improves after stopping the drug. The glycoprotein D vaccine works against genital herpes in some women, and the HPV-16 vaccine reduces HPV-16 infection and related diseases. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. A cream called imiquimod effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Iron supplements don't necessarily help with chronic hair loss in women.

Finasteride 1mg helps reverse hair miniaturization in men and postmenopausal women.

This study observed that low-dose oral minoxidil and topical minoxidil 5% solution both improved hair density in women with female-pattern hair loss, but oral minoxidil may offer advantages in reducing hair shedding.

In this study using a mouse model, Prom1+ dermal papilla cells were found to regulate the size of the papilla via β-catenin communication but did not aid in dermal repair.

This study concludes that egg shell membrane hydrolysates, particularly Fraction I, may effectively mitigate UV-B radiation-induced wrinkles and promote skin collagen and hyaluronic acid production, suggesting potential use in functional cosmetics.

Taking 1mg finasteride tablets for 6 months can lower good cholesterol (HDL) and raise triglycerides in men with hair loss.

Taking 1mg of finasteride daily for hair loss can lower PSA levels by 40-50%, so to keep PSA effective as a cancer screening tool, the PSA value should be doubled during treatment.

This study demonstrates that human skin is capable of steroid hormone synthesis, but its role in androgenic skin disorders like acne and alopecia is yet to be clarified.

This study found that chronic ultraviolet-B exposure increased skin vascularization and wrinkle formation in mice, while overexpressing the angiogenesis inhibitor thrombospondin-1 reduced these effects, suggesting angiogenesis inhibition as a potential approach to prevent photo-damage.

This study identified LY191704 as a specific noncompetitive inhibitor of human 5 alpha-reductase type 1, which may be useful in treating endocrine disorders related to DHT overproduction.

This review discusses the development and selectivity of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, particularly non-steroidal ones, and reports no new clinical trial results.

Higher IGF-1 levels in hair follicles link to better finasteride results for hair loss.

In this study, epidermal Notch activation increased jagged 1 expression, leading to skin changes like thickening and blistering, with these effects inhibited when jagged 1 was absent.

This study found that IGF-1 likely plays a crucial role in regulating hair growth and alopecia, with balding scalp follicles secreting less IGF-1 than nonbalding counterparts.
