This article reviews the development and formulation of shampoos, emphasizing their dual role as cosmetic and medicinal products, but presents no new experimental findings.

This paper reviews diffuse androgen-dependent alopecia and chronic telogen effluvium in women, highlighting diagnostic challenges and management issues, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors suggest effective treatments are available.

This study found that acute sleep deprivation enhanced 5α-reductase expression and activity in the rat prefrontal cortex, and finasteride treatment reduced associated psychosis- and mania-like behaviors.

This meta-analysis found that chromium supplementation was associated with decreased insulin resistance but increased testosterone levels in women with PCOS, with no significant benefits for other metabolic or hormonal indexes.

In this study, 5% minoxidil significantly improved outcomes for children and adults with patchy alopecia areata compared to placebo, with moderate quality evidence and no severe adverse events reported, though more research is needed to address remaining uncertainties.

This case study reports an unusual presentation of erosive lichen planus of the scalp linked to hepatitis C in a patient, highlighting challenges in establishing a definitive correlation between the two conditions.

This study reviewed contemporary literature and found that combining minoxidil with topical finasteride, biologic adjuvants, or delivery innovations might enhance treatment effectiveness for androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone, although diverse outcomes and incomplete data limit broader conclusions.

This source discusses drug repurposing, which seeks new therapeutic uses for existing drugs, emphasizing its benefits like faster development, reduced costs, and novel treatments for unmet medical needs. The chapter outlines current trends and future perspectives in drug discovery through repurposed drugs.

This review analyzed data on alopecia types associated with COVID-19, suggesting androgenetic alopecia may be a risk factor for severe COVID-19, while telogen effluvium often follows infection and alopecia areata tends to relapse in those with preexisting disease.

This research found that certain inflammasome proteins, like caspase-1, ASC, IL-18, and IL-1β, were elevated in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) compared to controls and suggested these proteins could serve as reliable biomarkers for inflammation, potentially predicting worse outcomes.

This case report details a woman with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome who experienced notable dermatological symptoms, including evanescent hyperemia, which improved with the use of an oral angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist.

This scoping review found that chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast cancer patients, especially when using anthracycline- and taxane-based regimens, occurs at higher rates and with more persistence than historically reported.

This systematic review suggests that platelet-rich plasma may improve hair density, follicle survival, and hair growth when used with hair transplantation, though varied methods and lack of standardized evaluation limit the findings.

In a study using a rat model of hypertrophic scars, researchers found that gamma-irradiated human amniotic fluid improved wound healing, collagen remodelling, immune response, and scar characteristics more effectively than saline or non-irradiated amniotic fluid, indicating its potential for clinical applications in scar management.

This study found that mycophenolate mofetil was associated with higher response rates and lower rates of serious side effects, including a lower mortality rate, compared to cyclophosphamide in lupus nephritis treatment.

This study reveals a high prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Africa, indicating an epidemiological shift in the region and underscoring the need for early prevention and treatment strategies.

This meta-analysis found a consistent positive association between glucocorticoids in hair and obesity measures, with the relationship between hair cortisone and waist circumference being particularly clinically relevant.

This study identified several significant genetic variants associated with alopecia universalis, including a novel association with HLA-DRB5, which may play a hidden role in the disease.

This study reported that over 70% of adults with primary cicatricial alopecia experienced impaired quality of life, primarily influenced by trichodynia and anxiety.

This paper reviews various causes of alopecia in cancer patients and highlights the importance of understanding these mechanisms for effective management, but reports no new findings.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata and their healthy family members had elevated levels of Th1- and Th17-related cytokines, suggesting a genetic link in cytokine dysregulation.

This study highlights the genetic complexities in alopecia areata, emphasizing the role of microRNAs and their association with other immune-related diseases, which could inform targeted treatment strategies.

The researchers reported that certain physical characteristics of hair shafts, such as length and color, may influence mtDNA read counts and degradation state when analyzed by massively parallel sequencing.

This systematic review found that topical adenosine may increase hair thickness and density while reducing hair loss, but the strength of evidence is low due to issues with trial design and sample size.

This review discusses the disruption of hormonal and metabolic rhythms in polycystic ovary syndrome and explores potential drug targets to address its molecular causes, without providing new clinical results.

This Mendelian randomization study reports that lifelong increased free testosterone in males was associated with improved bone mineral density and body composition but increased risks of prostate cancer, hypertension, and several other conditions.

This review highlights how integrating medicinal chemistry with delivery science could transform the limitations of PROTACs—such as poor solubility and low cell permeability—into strengths, potentially advancing these compounds from experimental stages to clinical applications by optimizing their delivery and enhancing therapeutic efficacy.

This review update suggests that mycophenolate mofetil may increase complete disease remission in proliferative lupus nephritis compared to intravenous cyclophosphamide, but with low certainty of evidence.

This systematic review found no clear evidence of a difference in survival outcomes between treatment regimens with or without chemotherapy for children with medulloblastoma, and further high-quality research is needed.

This meta-analysis reported that 0.5 mg/d of dutasteride significantly increased total hair count at 24 weeks compared to finasteride and minoxidil in men with androgenetic alopecia.
