In this study, catgut embedding combined with moxibustion and bloodletting was reported to be more effective than finasteride for androgenetic alopecia, reducing hormonal imbalances and improving patient quality of life.

This study found that in first-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) provided similar progression-free survival to doxorubicin with significantly less cardiotoxicity.

This study found that hair follicles in mice and humans can convert wound-related myofibroblasts into adipocytes, suggesting a potential pathway to reduce scar formation by activating BMP signaling.

This study found that DrugNet, a network-based prioritization method, effectively improves drug repositioning tasks, achieving high performance in validation tests and clinical trial comparisons.

This research found that feather pattern formation in birds is regulated by a mechanochemical system involving fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein signaling, which is altered in the flightless emu and ostrich.

This study suggests that nerve growth factor plays a crucial role in the stress-induced termination of hair growth in mice, and its antagonism might offer a therapeutic approach to mitigate stress-related hair loss.

This review explores how air pollutants may contribute to various skin diseases and highlights potential mechanisms, but it presents no new clinical findings.

In this review, bioengineered materials incorporating growth factors and cytokines were reported to enhance wound healing by sustaining drug delivery, reducing dosage, and minimizing side effects compared to traditional treatments.

This study found that the Nod factor from Rhizobium meliloti, particularly at concentrations of 10-8 and 10-7 M, induced specific membrane depolarization and root-hair deformation in Medicago sativa, depending on the stage of cell differentiation.

This study found that prostaglandin metabolism enzymes are present in human hair follicles, suggesting a potential role in hair growth and differentiation, with some expression differences between men and women.

This review discusses the potential of biomimetic synthetic vesicles to advance precision diagnostics and medicine by combining the beneficial properties of naturally occurring extracellular vesicles and synthetic nanoparticles, although no new clinical results are reported.

This study found that TGFβ signaling is essential for keeping sebocytes undifferentiated by reducing lipid-related gene expression, using a novel human sebocyte culture model.

This article presents a unique case of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in a 3-month-old, with a hair causing bony erosion of the toe, and includes a literature review and meta-analysis.

This study found that resveratrol improved menstrual regularity and reduced hair loss in women with PCOS, but did not affect androgen levels or metabolic profiles.

This review suggests that while NSAIDs may inhibit bone healing and have variable effects on other complications, caution is advised in their prescription post-surgery, particularly for female patients.

This case report suggests that discontinuing low-dose finasteride in a 48-year-old man led to a significant reduction in sperm DNA fragmentation index, indicating a possible link between finasteride and sperm DNA damage.

This study identified mutations in the SREBF1 gene that impair SREBP1 function, potentially contributing to IFAP syndrome by affecting skin, hair, and eye development.

This study validated a protocol for inducing surface ectoderm differentiation from human induced pluripotent stem cells and highlighted the role of TGFβ signaling pathways in this process.

This review discusses the traditional uses and biological activities of Aristotelia chilensis, summarizing its phytochemical composition and various potential health benefits, but reports no original research findings and highlights the need for further studies.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia had significantly larger prostate volumes and lower urinary flow rates compared to healthy controls, suggesting a possible link between AGA and prostate-related urinary symptoms.

This study found that elderly COVID-19 patients are more prone to multiorgan damage, highlighting the need for comprehensive care to lessen the disease's impact.

This study identified overexpression of certain immune-related genes and underexpression of genes in specific signaling pathways in premature androgenetic alopecia, suggesting potential new therapeutic targets.

This study found that reproductive gynecologists are the primary source of referrals for male infertility evaluations, with many men referred before completing a male factor investigation even when using assisted reproductive technologies or lifestyle factors like testosterone replacement.

This study found that several synthesized compounds were potent inhibitors of human steroid 5alpha-reductase type 2 and reduced prostate weights in treated rats, with compound 15 showing promise for potency in humans.

This study found that hair cortisol concentration is a promising stress indicator in cattle but not in pigs, where external factors and lower cortisol response may interfere with its validity.

This study found that two pre-Hispanic mummies from the Andean coast had well-preserved hair with significant amounts of heavy metals like iron, lead, bromide, and occasionally arsenic, revealing their historical context.

This review discusses the multifaceted roles of hair follicles in skin health, including potential contributions to skin neoplasias, and reports no new results.

This study found that progesterone derivatives with chlorine or bromine substituents were effective in inhibiting 5α-reductase activity in human prostate and exhibited antiandrogenic effects in hamster flank organs.

This study identified 30 new compounds with significant androgen receptor binding affinity through a combination of virtual screening and in vitro testing.

This review concludes that while many epidemiological studies suggest high alcohol intake is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, the evidence may be affected by confounding factors such as diet and lifestyle.
