Lack of small, fine hair on the front hairline is a key sign of frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This study found that the absence of vitamin D receptor-mediated suppression of PPARγ expression causes hair loss in VDR-null mice.

This hypothesis paper proposes that men with X-linked recessive ichthyosis may exhibit no androgenetic alopecia or only mild forms, and suggests clinical studies to evaluate this hypothesis.

This study found that despite androgen excess and genitourinary masculinization, adult women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia did not exhibit notable prostatic growth.

In this study, finasteride-treated WAG/Rij rats showed a significant increase in spike-wave discharges when administered endogenous steroids THPROG and THDOC, indicating potential exacerbation of absence seizures.

This case study illustrated that a patient's severe autonomic neuropathy due to amyloidosis prevented the expected development of heart failure symptoms despite significant cardiac abnormalities.

This case study reported a rare and delayed onset of alopecia in a patient after paclitaxel chemotherapy, potentially influenced by the interaction of thyroid hormones and chemotherapy affecting hair follicle cycles.

This paper introduces a new understanding that the human hair follicle medulla lacks metabolic activity for H2O2 breakdown, indicating that H2O2 decomposition occurs primarily in the cortical areas.
