This meta-analysis reported a significant association between vitamin D receptor gene ApaI polymorphism and polycystic ovary syndrome risk, with variations observed between Asian and Caucasian populations.

This study found that among women with PCOS, the FokI CC genotype of the VDR gene may offer protection against acne and seborrhea, while the VDR-TaqI dominant genotype is associated with reduced oxidative stress.

This study suggests no significant association between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers found no significant association between VDR gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility to alopecia areata, suggesting that these genetic variations may not play a role in the disease's development.

This study found that VDR polymorphisms, particularly ApaI and FokI variants, are associated with hormonal and metabolic disturbances in women with PCOS, with notable variations across different ethnicities.

In this study, researchers found that long-term treatment with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors improved depression-like symptoms more effectively than a short-term treatment followed by withdrawal in d-galactose-induced senescent male rats, by reducing brain inflammation and oxidative stress.

In this study, researchers observed that Finasteride improved cardiac function by enhancing antioxidant levels and reducing oxidative stress in obese and aging rats, though it did not benefit metabolic status and induced insulin resistance in normal diet-fed rats.

In this study, male Wistar rats with obesity showed reduced depressive-like behaviors, brain inflammation, and oxidative stress after long-term finasteride treatment, suggesting potential benefits of finasteride in obese conditions, while lean rats experienced adverse effects including metabolic disturbances and depressive-like behaviors.

In this rodent study, researchers found that the drug finasteride may reduce anxiety and depression-like behaviors in a model of aging, despite inducing metabolic disturbances and depressive-like behaviors in young rats, suggesting potential considerations for its use in elderly populations.

In this study, chronic exposure to finasteride induced metabolic disturbances and depression-like behaviors in young male rats, similar to those caused by obesity, but did not worsen anxiety or depression in obese rats.

In this study, finasteride improved cardiac sympathovagal balance in aging and obese male rats, also enhancing left ventricular function specifically in those modeled for aging, but not affecting healthy rats.

This review discusses the flexibility and diversity of tissue stem cell systems, particularly focusing on the motility and ligand distribution of spermatogenic stem cells, without presenting new experimental results.

This review discusses Charnoly bodies as biomarkers of cell injury and potential therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and cancer treatments but reports no new clinical results.

This study describes a follicular automaton model that simulates human hair cycles and may replicate hair pattern evolution seen in diffuse or androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that in a rat model of alopecia, combining low-level laser therapy with Neoptide treatment resulted in better hair regrowth compared to either treatment used alone.

This study reviewed recent advancements in using botulinum toxin for treating androgenetic alopecia and emphasized the need for further research to determine the most effective injection sites and depths, as current strategies show inconsistent results.

This review examines the role of androgens and androgen receptors in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, focusing on their effects on mitochondrial content and function; it also discusses the sex-dimorphic influence of androgens and provides theoretical insights into their mechanisms.

This review discusses the etio-pathogenetic factors in benign prostatic hyperplasia and their role in the development of lower urinary tract symptoms but reports no new research findings.

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 found that the Alopecia Areata Patient Priority Outcomes questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for measuring the severity and impact of hair loss in individuals with alopecia areata.

AUC and APL are distinct conditions needing careful clinical assessment.

This study identified four novel and one recurrent mutation in the AIRE gene among Arab families with APS1, suggesting these contribute to the disorder.

This study developed the Alopecia Areata Patient Priority Outcome (AAPPO), a new tool designed to measure and capture the symptoms and impacts of alopecia areata that matter most to patients.

This chapter discusses the molecular biology of the vitamin D receptor in gene transcription and reports no new results; it highlights recent findings on receptor activity independent of its usual ligand.

This study reports the first case of atrichia with papular lesions in a Taiwanese family without a detectable mutation in the HR gene.

In this study, no significant association was found between the VDR FokI gene polymorphism and alopecia areata, though further research in diverse populations is needed.

This report discusses a 22-year-old patient with MELAS syndrome carrying the m.10158T>C mutation, and highlights the need for extensive genetic testing when initial hot-spot mutation tests are negative.

This study revealed that in androgenic alopecia, the proximal attachment of the arrector pili muscle to the hair follicle is often lost or significantly reduced.

The researchers reported that a 4-aminopyridine-loaded gel promoted wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in burn models, suggesting it might be a promising alternative to existing burn treatments.
