This study found that EPHA4 and Ephrin A3 genes are differentially expressed during hair follicle development in fine-wool sheep, suggesting roles in follicle regeneration and density.

This article discusses a potential link between adipocyte-myofibroblast transition and androgenetic alopecia, suggesting AMT may play a role in fibrosis associated with the condition but presents no new results.

According to this study, systemic retinoids, specifically oral isotretinoin and acitretin, were more effective than finasteride in stabilizing the frontal hairline in female patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, achieving treatment goals in over 70% of cases.

In this study, tofacitinib showed a mixed response in treating refractory alopecia areata, with some patients experiencing complete or partial hair regrowth and others showing no response, particularly those with alopecia universalis.

This case report describes a 21-year-old woman with circumscribed alopecia areata incognita, who experienced a sustained positive response to treatment with oral tofacitinib after conventional treatments frequently failed to provide lasting effects.

This case report describes a unique presentation of frontal fibrosing alopecia characterized by a hair loss pattern that resembles the Greek letter upsilon, supported by trichoscopic and histological findings.

This case report highlights a 21-year-old man with severe nodulocystic acne resistant to conventional treatments, who showed moderate improvement with isotretinoin, and discusses its potential link to congenital digital abnormalities and Apert syndrome.

This study identified a compound heterozygous mutation in a hairless rhesus macaque, which was associated with skin abnormalities similar to those in hairless mice and humans with APL.

This study developed methods for detecting carboxy-finasteride in urine for doping control, demonstrating detection up to 49 hours post-administration with high precision and accuracy.

This notice acknowledges a disclaimer omission in an article on fluridil for androgenetic alopecia but presents no new study results.

This case report study presents two instances of post-finasteride syndrome, highlighting the persistence of sexual adverse effects despite discontinuation of the drug, and underscores the need for increased awareness and understanding of this condition.

In this study, a hair tonic containing black fungus extract was shown to have antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur, with the 70% extract concentration providing the strongest effect.

This study found that deleting the ATR gene in adult mice led to rapid onset of age-related traits such as hair graying and osteoporosis through reduced regenerative capacity.

This study developed a rapid ATP assay that effectively measures microbial populations on the skin and tracks changes after microbiome dysbiosis, with findings suggesting that ethanol-cleansed skin takes longer to recover than tape-stripped skin.

Both finasteride and dutasteride can cause sexual side effects, but they may differ in frequency and severity.

This study reports that AhR pathway expression is significantly reduced in lymphocytes of alopecia areata patients, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target.
