In this study, Msx-2 knockout mice showed enhanced re-epithelialization and faster wound closure compared to wild-type controls, suggesting Msx-2 may influence skin morphogenesis during wound repair.

This review discusses various cancer prevention strategies, summarizing established successes like tamoxifen for breast cancer and mixed outcomes of preventive trials like finasteride for prostate cancer, and reports no new results.

This retrospective study observed that telogen effluvium, a type of diffuse hair loss, frequently occurs in females aged 18–30 following SARS-CoV-2 infection, often accompanied by nutritional deficiencies, suggesting an association between COVID-19 and micronutrient deficiency, with acute cases being most common but chronic cases possible.

This case report describes a 6-year-old boy with a scalp infection caused by Candida parapsilosis, which was successfully treated with 2% ketoconazole ointment after other treatments failed; antifungal susceptibility testing showed variable drug resistance.

In this study, a combination of low-dose minoxidil 0.25 mg and spironolactone 25 mg reduced hair shedding and improved hair density in patients with female pattern hair loss, with mild adverse effects.

This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2 often exhibit skin abnormalities, which correlate with genotype severity and serum vitamin D levels, and suggest premature aging.

This study observed that COVID-19 patients in Thailand infected with the Delta variant were more likely to develop pneumonia and certain post-infection conditions, while Omicron infections were associated with milder symptoms like sore throat and congestion.

In a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, this study found that purple corn extract may improve symptoms by inhibiting prostate enlargement, reducing androgen receptor signaling, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects.

This review discusses the incidence and characteristics of COVID-19-related hair loss and highlights psychological support as crucial for recovery, but reports no new research results.

This review explores whether SARS-CoV-2 could trigger or worsen α-synucleinopathies, like Parkinson's disease, by affecting α-synuclein misfolding and aggregation, potentially linking COVID-19 with the development of parkinsonism-like symptoms.

This study resulted in a draft version of the Patient‐Reported Impact of Dermatological Diseases measure, PRIDD, which includes 27 items refined from patient consensus and is now undergoing psychometric testing.

This review suggests that understanding the biological and molecular reasons for more severe COVID-19 in men, particularly those at risk for prostate cancer, could improve management of these patients, but reports no new results.

This article reviews various causes of diffuse hair loss, highlighting the importance of identifying triggers through thorough examination for effective treatment and emphasizing patient education in management; it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the complex pathophysiological and clinical aspects of COVID-19, including dermatological findings and their association with SARS-CoV-2 infection but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, manipulation of the enzyme 5α-reductase type 2 in human hepatocytes altered lipogenesis, suggesting clinical implications for patients using 5α-reductase inhibitors by affecting glucocorticoid action on hepatic lipid metabolism.

This review assesses the current literature on COVID-19's effects on male sexual and reproductive health, highlighting significant research gaps and providing guidance for patient counseling.

This study found that deleting β-catenin in epidermis-specific VDR knockout mice did not prevent UVB-induced skin tumors, indicating β-catenin does not compensate for VDR's role in tumor suppression.

This study found that ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes were more highly expressed in tumors of elderly male cancer patients compared to healthy individuals, with notable differences across age and gender.

This review discusses the potential of organoids in modeling COVID-19 disease and developing therapies, without reporting new results, and highlights opportunities and challenges in their application for research.

This study found that healthcare workers with a positive COVID-19 test reported long COVID symptoms more frequently than negative controls, while prior physical activity was linked to reduced neurocognitive and fatigue symptoms.

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 the medicinal formula YH0618 may reduce toxicity from the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin, improving side effects like hair loss and organ damage, while maintaining its anti-cancer effects.

This review discusses targeting host cell proteases as a novel approach to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting transcriptional modulation and enzymatic inhibition as promising therapeutic strategies, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers found that in mice, gonadal hormones and biological sex do not affect the expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry proteins ACE-2 and TMPRSS-2 in the respiratory tract, regardless of disease state.

Accurate protein modeling can help develop new treatments for prostate cancer and other diseases.

This study found that premature hair greying may be associated with low serum ferritin and raised anti-TPO levels.

This study observed that SARS-CoV-2 shedding significantly decreased after remdesivir treatment, irrespective of RT-PCR cycle threshold values, suggesting early de-isolation might be possible in severe COVID-19 cases.

This study suggests that residues Val-889 and Arg-752 in the androgen receptor's steroid binding domain are crucial for NH2-/carboxyl-terminal interaction, affecting receptor stability and function.

This study found that for obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, concurrent type 2 diabetes is linked to worsened metabolic but milder reproductive aspects of PCOS and does not hinder the return to regular menstruation one year after surgery.

This review discusses possible mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 transmission through the skin and sweat and reports no new clinical results, calling for further research on this potential route of infection.
