This study suggests that although the G972R variant of the IRS1 gene might increase AA excess risk in heterozygous carriers with CYP21 mutations, both variations play a limited role in PCOS development.

This study found that the N363S variant of the glucocorticoid receptor was rare among women with PCOS and did not significantly contribute to genetic risk for PCOS or adrenal androgen excess.

This article reviews the process for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and suggests how it can be applied in clinical practice but reports no new results.

This article discusses ovarian steroid cell tumors, which can produce testosterone and manifest symptoms like hirsutism, emphasizing surgery as the primary treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses botulinum toxin's experimental off-label uses in dermatology, highlighting promising results but emphasizing the need for more clinical trials to confirm efficacy and safety.

In this case report, a mother and daughter with celiac disease experienced hair loss as their primary or initial extraintestinal symptom, highlighting the potential link between celiac disease and alopecia.

In randomized controlled trials, this research reports that cyclosporin is as effective as glucocorticoids for treating canine atopic dermatitis and has potential benefits for other immune-mediated skin conditions in dogs.

This study found that women with PCOS reported higher overall psychological distress, but there was no significant link between their perceived hirsutism and this distress.

In this study, patients with lichen planopilaris showed higher prevalence of autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism compared to those with seborrheic dermatitis.

This report describes two young women with severe psoriasis and alopecia universalis, highlighting the possible but unstudied association between alopecia areata and metabolic syndrome.

This chapter discusses the potential therapeutic applications of Botulinum toxin for various non-cosmetic skin conditions, such as acne, rosacea, and hyperhidrosis, highlighting case reports and some randomized controlled trials that indicate promise in alleviating discomfort, inflammation, and excessive sweating.

This study found that chronic low-grade inflammation exists independently of excess weight or obesity in women with PCOS, with notable increases in specific cytokines such as IL-9, MCP-3, and MIP-1α.

In this case report, a novel heterozygous mutation in the insulin receptor gene was identified in an adolescent girl with type A insulin resistance syndrome, characterized by excessive hair growth and skin changes, and her mother.

This review examines the hormonal causes of hair loss, noting how androgen excess can lead to follicle miniaturization and linking estrogen deficiency and thyroid dysfunction to common alopecia types. It further discusses hormonal treatments such as finasteride, dutasteride, and spironolactone.

This study found that a key gene signature, including FGF11, highlights the immunologic nature of keloid lesions, distinguishing them from normal fibroblasts and scars.

In this study, researchers showed that the CAP1 gene regulates root hair growth in plants by modulating cytoplasmic ammonium levels and maintaining calcium gradients, highlighting its role in ammonium homeostasis.

In this study, injection of cross-linked hyaluronic acid into the upper eyelid significantly improved the appearance of sunken and hollowed eyes in participants over a period of more than one year, with follow-ups at two weeks and three months.

This study found that topical application of FK506 stimulated hair growth in animals, which may occur independently of its immunosuppressive effects, though its effect on human hair growth remains unclear.

This study identified a novel homozygous mutation in the 5'-UTR of the POMC gene, suggesting a new molecular mechanism for the syndrome of adrenal insufficiency, obesity, and red hair.

This study found that coloring white facial hair is an effective and feasible adjunct to intense pulsed light therapy for hair removal, with similar efficacy between using black eyeliner and black hair dye.

This review presents the practice of using hair bioelement analysis to assess nutritional status or environmental exposure, proposing complex interactions and hypotheses regarding depression and autism but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified 14 genes affected by copy number variants that may contribute to alopecia areata, including four genes notably involved in autophagy and chromatin remodeling.

This review discusses the potential role of vitamins and minerals in managing non-scarring alopecia but reports no clinical results; the authors advocate for further controlled trials to explore these relationships.

This study found that serum levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF) were significantly higher in patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential link to the disease's pathogenesis and severity.

This article includes summaries of multiple studies on dermatological topics like Imiquimod's effects on tumors, vitamin C absorption enhancement, and ferritin levels in hair loss, but reports no new results itself.

This review discusses hirsutism in women with PCOS who present with normal androgen levels and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study found that the antidepressant-like effect of fluoxetine in mice was only observed when a 5-minute pretest session was conducted, and this effect was blocked by the TSPO antagonist PK11195.

NFATc1 controls hair stem cell activity, affecting hair growth and could be a target for hair loss treatments.

This opinion article reviews various pathways through which onabotulinumtoxinA might work in medical treatments, highlighting applications beyond muscle paralysis, including pain inhibition and potential effects on hair loss and cancer cell apoptosis.

This study provides a detailed profile of bioactive polyphenols in various parts of the baobab fruit, highlighting its potential as a health-promoting food or supplement.
