This study examined finasteride degradation under stress conditions, identifying three unique degradation products in acidic environments, providing insights into impurity profiling and quality control for finasteride formulations.

Researchers found an RNA transcript that might help control a growth factor linked to tumor development.

This review emphasizes the importance of accurately distinguishing between diffuse alopecia areata and telogen effluvium in dermatological practice due to differing treatment implications and long-term patient expectations, but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed four consanguineous families with congenital atrichia with papular lesions and identified three novel mutations in the hairless gene, which may contribute to the disorder.

This review outlines the major health consequences of anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse, with a focus on sexual and reproductive issues, and suggests management prioritizes cessation and relapse prevention due to lack of robust randomized trials.

This study found that mitochondrial fusion regulator Opa1 is crucial for maintaining melanocyte stem cells during the hair follicle cycle in mice, with Opa1 deficiency leading to impaired SCF-KIT signaling, reduced melanocyte populations, and early hair graying.

This review suggests that excessive facial photoprotection could play a role in frontal fibrosing alopecia through a disturbance in immunological balance via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-kynurenine pathway.

This study reports a case of frontal fibrosing alopecia associated with hepatitis C treatment involving interferon and ribavirin.

This study identified specific reflectance confocal microscopy features that help differentiate scarring from non-scarring alopecia, providing a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

In this study, researchers found that BST2 expression is significantly upregulated in skin sections of mice with alopecia areata, implicating BST2's role in the disease pathogenesis through the action of epidermal γδ T cells and macrophages.

This study discovered that the gene Tfap2b identifies a melanocyte stem cell population in zebrafish, essential for regenerating melanocytes with multi-fate potential into adult pigment cells.

This review discusses the adverse effects of anabolic agents in sports, noting cardiovascular, behavioral, and other side effects, but highlights inconsistencies in the severity of cardiovascular risks.

In this retrospective pharmacovigilance study, researchers analyzed over 7,900 adverse event reports related to aromatase inhibitors, identifying common side effects and toxicological mechanisms to highlight potential safety concerns in treating postmenopausal hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.

This study in mutant mice found that Bmpr2 and Acvr2a are individually redundant, but together essential for normal hair follicle development, with their reduction causing rapid hair cycling and graying.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with atrichia with papular lesions, whose diagnosis was confirmed through genetic testing identifying mutations in the hairless gene.

This study found that finasteride reduced opioid self-administration in zebrafish and rats without affecting pain relief, suggesting steroidogenic pathways may offer new treatment avenues for opioid use disorder.

This study observed that the molecular structure of keratins in hair fibres' discrete transition zone differs in breast cancer patients, with altered lipid ester absorption bands reverting post-cancer removal.

This article discusses trichoscopy as a tool for differential diagnosis in female-type androgenetic alopecia and reports on three patient cases without providing new clinical results.

In this case report, a novel missense mutation c.1360G>C (p.Ala454Pro) in the MBTPS2 gene was identified in a boy with typical IFAP syndrome and severe atopic features, although no phenotype/genotype correlation was established.

This review examines the therapeutic potential of Aftimoon (Cuscuta reflexa), focusing on its pharmacological properties and traditional uses in Unani medicine for various ailments, and highlighting its range of biological activities, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

This study found that ethanol extract of fragrant pandanus leaves inhibited the growth of the dandruff-causing fungus Pityrosporum ovale, with higher concentrations showing greater inhibitory effects.

This study identified several previously unrecognized adverse events linked to ISO, including serious conditions such as Dandy-Walker syndrome and suicidal ideation, suggesting that safety measures and drug labeling should be updated.

Tofacitinib 2% ointment helped hair regrow in 3 out of 10 patients with alopecia areata, but caused side effects like scalp irritation and raised cholesterol in some.

This study found that a bioorthogonal microneedle patch delivering AAV-aFGF effectively improved hair follicle regeneration and sustained hair growth in murine alopecia models compared to other methods.

This study developed a new finasteride capsule with accurate dosage and good stability, showing potential as an effective oral preparation with a tentative two-year shelf life.

This study found that suppressing allopregnanolone production in late gestation fetal sheep altered CNS activity and behavioral responses to transient asphyxia, effects mitigated by an analog co-infusion.

In this study, finasteride use in men with androgenetic alopecia was not associated with increased reports of sexual dysfunction compared to non-users, suggesting that finasteride does not cause sexual dysfunction in this context.

This case report describes a rare instance of familial congenital atrichia in a 16-year-old girl, possibly involving a genetic component, as both her parents exhibit similar clinical features.

This pilot study found that Optical Coherence Tomography can non-invasively resolve hair follicle density and hair shaft and follicle diameters in patients at varying stages of hair loss.
