Granuloma faciale can occur on the scalp, especially in people with advanced hair loss, and may improve with treatment.

In this retrospective study, patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma located in highly sun-exposed areas had a higher risk of local recurrence compared to those with tumors in less sun-exposed areas, though metastasis rates did not differ between the groups.

This case report details the successful use of oral itraconazole in treating a giant tufted angioma with hair loss that developed during pregnancy, leading to significant symptom relief and hair regrowth after discontinuation of the medication.

This article reviews treatment-induced sexual dysfunctions related to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and reports no new results; it highlights the need to better define and understand this controversial topic.

This study observed two cases of pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma suggesting potential differing origins: one from a hair follicle's outer root sheath and another from an intradermal nevus.

This review discusses the potential adverse effects of herbal remedies, such as allergic reactions and drug interactions, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors suggest the risks might be underestimated.

Oral retinoids are effective for severe skin conditions but require careful use due to side effects.

This study observed that estrogen receptor β and androgen receptor expressions in the skin decline with age, more noticeably under sun exposure, suggesting a role in skin aging.

This review highlights that 5 Alpha Reductase Inhibitors, used for treating conditions like benign prostatic hypertrophy, can cause side effects that sometimes persist after stopping the medication, urging physicians to consider these drugs as potential sources of new symptoms in patients.

This study formulated a polyherbal shampoo from plant extracts, finding it showed effective antifungal properties against dandruff-causing agents like Malassezia species while providing protective and conditioning effects on hair cuticles, indicating its potential as a natural alternative for dandruff management.

This study found that a formulated polyherbal shampoo demonstrated effective antifungal properties against dandruff-causing fungi, with smooth, intact hair cuticles after treatment, suggesting it may serve as a safe, natural alternative for managing dandruff.

In this study of 131 healthy men aged 30 to 45, no relationship was found between androgen receptor gene polymorphisms related to androgen sensitivity and biological age markers, suggesting that other factors may influence the aging process independently of these genetic variations.

In this viewpoint, researchers discussed the possible role of the developmental origin of scalp dermis in influencing the specific pattern of hair follicle miniaturization seen in male pattern hair loss, noting that frontal follicles are more susceptible while occipital follicles remain largely terminal.

Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.

This study found that estrogen receptor beta, not alpha, is the main mediator of estrogen action in human skin and hair follicles, suggesting a distinct role in these tissues.

This study found that increased expression of type II 5α-reductase, androgen receptors, and Hic-5/ARA55 in dermal papilla cells upregulates androgen sensitivity, playing a key role in androgenetic alopecia pathogenesis.

This study demonstrates that c-MYC overexpression in sebaceous glands affects differentiation via a regulatory axis involving the androgen receptor and p53, influencing carcinoma formation outcomes.

This study found that stem cells derived from spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients exhibited reduced androgen receptor levels and HDAC6, providing potential insights into the disease mechanism for future therapies.

This study suggests that androgen receptor gene CAG repeat length may influence serum free testosterone levels in some PCOS patients, with longer repeats associated with higher testosterone concentrations.

This discussion proposes a model to incorporate patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer into the existing framework by redefining hormone resistance and exploring new therapeutic approaches.

This review discusses the role of the androgen receptor in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, and notes a lack of new research results on its therapeutic potential.

This study found that dutasteride more effectively inhibited androgen receptor signaling and reduced cell growth compared to finasteride in prostate cancer cell models, with varying sensitivities across different cell lines.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) suppresses prostaglandin E2 and TGF-β induced IGF-I gene promoter activity in osteoblasts, suggesting complex interactions among bone growth regulators and potential complications from anabolic steroid use.

This study found that nuclear androgen receptor expression was enhanced by dihydrotestosterone in rat gubernacular mesenchyme, but this did not affect muscle morphology or matrix composition during fetal development.

This study found that in male yaks, 5α-red1 may play a crucial role in synthesizing DHT to promote hair follicle growth, while E2 synthesized by epithelial cells may inhibit this growth through ERα.

This study observed that Kelulut honey effectively normalized the expression of certain sex steroid receptors in PCOS-induced rats, similar to metformin and clomiphene.

This study found that neonatal blocking of androgen and estrogen pathways in rats altered sex-specific expression of estrogen and androgen receptors in adult pituitary and adrenal glands, potentially influencing lifelong neuroendocrine function.

This study investigated the potential mechanisms of Curcuma aeruginosa in treating androgenetic alopecia and identified 66 bioactive compounds interacting with proteins involved in the disorder, suggesting its involvement in hormone response and specific signaling pathways.

The AR gene is linked to male-pattern baldness, TNFSF4 to heart disease, SLC19A3 to BBGD, MCT8 to a syndrome, and segmental duplications to genetic variation.

This review discusses the current status of genetic research on male-pattern hair loss and reports no new findings, outlining significant achievements and future challenges in understanding its biology and treatment.
