This article discusses the need for rational strategies in developing hair loss drugs targeting specific events in hair follicle cycling, reporting no clinical findings but emphasizing the importance of understanding molecular controls.

This paper discusses mechanisms by which various chemicals disrupt male sexual differentiation, concluding that mixture risk assessments should include a broader set of compounds beyond phthalates to address cumulative reproductive health risks.

This review examines various androgen deprivation therapy methods for advanced prostate cancer, highlighting benefits and potential cardiovascular and sexual adverse effects, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, several compounds, including estrogen and Dutasteride, showed neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic neurons in an MPTP mouse model of Parkinson's disease.

This study found that foot shock stress prolonged the telogen stage and delayed anagen induction in the hair cycle of non-depilated mice, potentially through stress-induced actions of substance P.

This study found that in vitro treatments with 5alpha-reductase inhibitors and androgen receptor antagonists strongly stimulate VEGF expression in dermal papilla cells.

This study found that Undariopsis peterseniana extract may promote hair growth by activating specific cellular pathways, suggesting potential for treating alopecia.

This review compiles data on Platycladus orientalis leaves, noting their diverse pharmacological activities and advocating for more research to clarify their traditional blood-cooling and hematostatic uses.

This review examines hormonal influences on acne development and available hormonal therapies but reports no new clinical results.

This review explores the role of neutrophil recruitment in the inflammation seen in hidradenitis suppurativa and emphasizes potential therapeutic targets within these pathways, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the evidence for using oral medications to treat central serous chorioretinopathy, highlighting eplerenone as having the most support despite a lack of robust efficacy across studies.

This article reviews the potential of combining antiandrogenic and antiestrogenic treatments for BPH, highlighting aromatase inhibitors, but presents no new clinical results; further research is needed.

This systematic review identified several factors contributing to increased cardiovascular risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, including insulin resistance, obesity, inflammation markers, and microbiota alterations linked to elevated trimethylamine-N-oxide levels.

This study found no significant association between mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist therapy and mortality in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

This study found that the Foxn1(-/-) nude phenotype significantly influences epithelial progeny in skin, with notable changes in stem cell niches not achievable in other models.

Saw palmetto helps with nighttime urination and urine flow, similar to finasteride.

This review summarizes the association between 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and depression, discussing potential mechanisms such as neuroactive steroid alterations and neuroinflammation, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, 5α-reductase inhibitors were found to have no significant impact on preventing tumorigenesis or progression in in vitro models of urothelial cancer.

This study found that EGFR inhibitors and ligands did not significantly affect the expression of inflammatory biomarkers in cultured sebocytes, except for a notable increase in IL-1 expression with EGF treatment.

This study found that stem cells can temporarily act as non-professional phagocytes during hair cycle regeneration by clearing apoptotic cells through a process requiring local lipids and retinoids for activation, providing insights into their dual role in maintaining tissue integrity.

This commentary discusses how common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness through mechanisms involving transcription factor deficiency and overexpression of specific proteins, based on a concept called microcompetition; it reports no new research results.

This study suggests that type I 5-alpha reductase may also play a role in hair growth, with dutasteride potentially being more potent than finasteride in modulating key hair growth gene expressions.

Any drug can cause skin reactions, but antibiotics, NSAIDs, and psychotropic drugs are more common, with some reactions being life-threatening.

This review summarizes the role of G-protein-coupled receptors in wound healing and reports no new clinical results, highlighting their importance in signaling pathways and recent discoveries in their functions.

This review discusses different types of alopecia associated with psoriasis and highlights that hair loss in psoriasis is typically non-scarring and reversible, while also noting the increased risk of alopecia areata in these patients.

This study found that olive leaves extract significantly decreased prostate index, serum PSA, testosterone, and DHT levels in male rats with testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia, and showed potential as a therapeutic option due to its positive effects on prostate histology and antioxidant activity.

In this review, the researchers reported that 5α-reductase inhibitors demonstrated neuroprotective effects and reduced dyskinesias in animal models of Parkinson's disease, suggesting their potential for repurposing to manage symptoms in men with PD.
