This study found that finasteride at 1 mg/day was the most effective dose for treating male pattern hair loss, with similar efficacy to 5 mg/day and better results than lower doses.

This study found that nanoemulsion-based formulations, such as nanoemulgel and NFs, might serve as promising topical delivery systems for treating inflammatory diseases, potentially offering an alternative to traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are associated with adverse effects.

This study found that SRD5a-3 is a highly efficient enzyme for converting hormones into androgens, with dutasteride being a much more potent inhibitor of SRD5a-3 than SRD5a-2.

This study found that sebaceous glands predominantly exhibit oxidative activity of the type 2 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isozyme, which is not inhibited by 13-cis retinoic acid.

This study used a new statistical approach, PLACO, to identify several novel shared genetic regions associated with both Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer in two large GWAS datasets.

This study observed that PAI-2 is consistently expressed in differentiating cells of murine hair and nail, suggesting it may function as a marker of differentiation and possibly protect against premature cell death.

This study suggests that the COX-2 enzyme plays a role in hair follicle biology, as transgenic overexpression in mice induced hair follicle cycling disturbances and alopecia, which was mitigated by COX-2 inhibition.

In this study, photodynamic therapy significantly reduced inflammatory acne lesions and sebum secretion, possibly by inducing apoptosis in sebaceous glands and down-regulating TLR-2 and TLR-4 expression.

This study observed that VEGF165 increases proliferation and migration but alters adhesion properties of cultured human hair follicle cells, indicating a potential role for VEGF/VEGFR-2 in hair follicle regulation beyond angiogenesis.

This study found that overexpressing PKCδ in transgenic mice did not reduce squamous cell carcinoma development induced by UV radiation, despite its effectiveness against TPA-promoted cancer in these mice.

This study found that activating the erbB-2 oncogene in transgenic mice led to severe skin abnormalities and fatal defects, indicating erbB-2's significant role in skin and hair follicle development.

In this study, l-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate was found to stimulate hair follicle growth in vitro by promoting IGF-1 expression via the PI3K pathway.

This article reviews the molecular interactions involved in hair follicle cycling and highlights the role of dermal papilla cells, but it presents no new research findings.

This study identified a new enzyme, skin l‐tryptophan‐2,3‐dioxygenase, that may play a role in rat hair growth regulation, showing increased activity during peak hair growth periods.

This letter to the editor discusses a potential link between new onset alopecia areata and SARS-CoV-2 infection, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that radiofrequency treatment, with or without hydrolyzed collagen, increased dermis thickness, neocollagenesis, and FGF2 overexpression in rat skin tissue.

This study found that in rodent diabetes models, measuring corticosterone levels in new growth hair was more sensitive to hyperglycemia-induced changes than using old hair or serum samples.

Clinical studies reported that finasteride reduces scalp dihydrotestosterone levels and improves hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia, supporting its role as a treatment option.

This study concluded that men with benign prostatic hyperplasia receiving steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors, such as dutasteride or finasteride, have a higher risk of developing new onset type 2 diabetes compared to those taking tamsulosin.

In this study, women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher lipocalin-2 levels compared to controls, suggesting it may be a useful marker for insulin resistance in this population.

This review discusses the complex links between polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance, and potential metabolic risks starting in adolescence, noting the need for early screening and treatment but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, adenosine was found to stimulate hair follicle growth in vitro by promoting growth factor expression, β-catenin activation, and downstream signaling pathways.

This study found that untreated hirsute patients have lower expression of type 2 17β-HSD mRNA in scalp hairs, indicating potential disturbances in androgen metabolism, compared to treated hirsute patients.

This study found that sheep possess a polymorphic KAP8-2 gene that shares high sequence identity with the KAP8-2 gene in goats and reindeer.

This study describes a patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who experienced a recurrence of pemphigus vulgaris after receiving interleukin 2 immunotherapy, suggesting a possible link between the treatment and autoimmune disease recurrence.

This study found that control of Demodex mite colonization in mice required skin ILC2s and IL-13, highlighting their role in maintaining HF integrity and limiting mite overgrowth.

This study found that human outer root sheath cells express VEGF receptor-2, and exogenous VEGF165 significantly stimulates their proliferation through activation of the ERK signaling pathway.

This review highlights the possible role of T regulatory cells in the immune-related mechanisms of alopecia areata but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the binding and release of BMP-2 from kerateine biomaterials are significantly influenced by pH and salt concentration, highlighting the potential for developing improved bone repair systems.

This study reports that versican expression plays a crucial role in maintaining the anagen phase and hair inductive properties, as shown in a transgenic mouse model and hair growth assays.
