This study found that both AB(0) antigens and keratin phenotype can be determined from the same hair fragment using specific protein extraction and analysis methods.

This study reports a rare side effect of trichiasis in a patient with spinal chordoma treated with Afatinib, a type of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

This study examined 56 Thai patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss were common, and reported better disease stabilization with combination treatments of topical corticosteroids with hydroxychloroquine or finasteride.

This study found that finasteride competitively inhibits the enzyme AKR1D1 with low micromolar affinity but does not act as a mechanism-based inactivator.

This study suggests that finasteride may inhibit the enzyme PNMT, potentially contributing to its sexual and psychological side effects.

This study found that eyelash loss, facial papules, and body hair involvement were linked to severe frontal fibrosing alopecia, and antiandrogens were the most effective treatment.

This report describes the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic anserine folliculosis in children, highlighting its distinct skin features and suggesting tretinoin cream as an effective remedy.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

Finasteride forms three new products under acidic stress.

This study found that dutasteride reduced β-amyloid plaque load in a cerebral amyloidosis model, seemingly linked to mitochondrial apoptosis and autophagy processes.

This study reports that a new DART-HRMS method can effectively analyze intact hair for drug use timelines, with cocaine detection aligning with forensic standards and identifying multiple drugs from high-resolution data.

In this study, the rs4541843 G > A variant was found to be significantly associated with increased risk and severity of alopecia areata, as well as elevated expression of hsa-miR-182-5p, suggesting their potential as molecular markers for diagnosis and severity assessment.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women involves selective follicular inflammation, and finasteride treatment may slow disease progression, suggesting a potential androgen-related component.

This report details the case of an 11-year-old girl with APECED syndrome carrying a unique homozygous mutation in the AIRE gene, the first of its kind documented.

This study found that Dab2 conditional knockout mice experienced delayed hair follicle cycles and reduced hair follicle stem cell activity, suggesting Dab2's crucial role in regulating stem cell activation and anti-aging process in hair follicles.

This review discusses fibrosing frontal alopecia, including its causes, mechanisms, and treatments, and emphasizes the need for further research to improve understanding and treatments; it reports no new clinical results.

This study used NMR spectroscopy and other techniques to fully assign the proton and 13C spectra of the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride.

This study found that dabrafenib was well tolerated and led to durable responses in patients with BRAF-mutant differentiated thyroid carcinoma, with a median progression-free survival of 11.3 months.

This review summarizes findings on the long-term use of tofacitinib for severe alopecia areata, reporting its potential as a promising treatment option.

This review discusses the acyl-CoA synthetase very-long-chain (ACSVL) enzyme family, including its biochemical characteristics, tissue expression, and involvement in lipid metabolism, but presents no new experimental results.

This study reported that dermatological adverse events are common in patients treated with amivantamab for non-small cell lung cancer, often impacting quality of life and requiring treatment modifications.

This study found that androsterone glucuronate (ADT-G) was the only androgenic metabolite sensitive to detecting differences between adult women with acne and controls, and its levels decreased with systemic treatment.

This study observed that treating acne scars with fractional ablative laser concurrently with isotretinoin improved outcomes more effectively compared to applying the laser 6 months after isotretinoin treatment ended, as measured by the Quantitative Global Acne Scarring Grading System.

Lower finasteride doses had more side effects; dutasteride caused back pain; more research needed on post-finasteride syndrome.

This research overview discusses Post-Finasteride Syndrome, presenting data from an FDA database, but it does not report any new clinical findings.
