This report describes a new case of isolated trichothiodystrophy with characteristic brittle hair and suggests a simplified classification scheme for understanding sulfur-deficient hair disorders.

This study identified three novel genetic loci associated with PCOS and found similar genetic architecture across different diagnostic criteria, with evidence suggesting genetic links between PCOS and various metabolic and psychological traits.

This study found that parents of women with PCOS have a higher prevalence of insulin resistance and Type II diabetes than parents of healthy women.

This review outlines the evolution of hair follicle engineering and its foundational discoveries, but reports no new experimental results.

This paper reviews current knowledge about androgens' role in androgenic alopecia and female hirsutism but presents no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the pathophysiology and causes of androgen-mediated hair growth in hirsutism but does not report any clinical outcomes; treatment aspects are discussed separately.

This study identified three new genetic loci associated with PCOS and found a similar genetic structure across different diagnostic criteria, suggesting a genetic basis for shared metabolic traits and potential causal links to other conditions.

This case report highlighted rapid virilization in a woman with adrenocortical carcinoma, stressing the importance of androgen evaluation to suspect underlying ovarian or adrenal tumors.

Researchers found potential new targets for treating melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers, and identified a possible cause and treatment for male pattern baldness and eczema.

Androstenedione, a hormone supplement, doesn't improve muscle or performance and can cause harmful side effects.

This study identified two types of hard alpha-keratin filament assemblies in developing human hair follicles, which may help investigate the structural framework of mammalian keratin appendages.

This study found that fruit extracts from certain Egyptian Sabal species demonstrated significant anti-androgenic activity and potential therapeutic effects against benign prostatic hyperplasia in rat models and cell lines.

This study found that miniaturized hair follicles from pattern alopecia can regenerate rapidly when transplanted onto mice and may grow as well as or better than terminal hairs.

This study reported higher dihydrotestosterone and testosterone levels in balding Korean and Caucasian subjects compared to non-balding controls, with variations suggesting racial differences in androgen metabolism.

This paper discusses how studying hair follicles in the balding scalp could reveal fundamental biological processes, without reporting new experimental findings.

The researchers reported two brothers with a new variant of X-linked trichothiodystrophy associated with an RNF113A gene mutation, highlighting features such as intellectual disability and growth failure, but without previously reported endocrinological or genital abnormalities, underlining the importance of genetic counseling for such variants.

This study suggests that any baldness, particularly moderate balding, is associated with a higher risk of fatal prostate cancer in men, supporting a possible link between hair loss and prostate cancer mechanisms.

Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.

A deep learning model was developed to help diagnose trichothiodystrophy by analyzing hair patterns.

Balding men have harder scalps.

Using minoxidil on balding men's scalps can increase hair growth, according to a 12-month study.

Men with early balding may have hormonal imbalances similar to women with PCOS and could benefit from similar treatments.

Hormones and genetics affect hair growth and patterns, with some changes reversible and others not.

This article discusses the prevalence and patterns of androgenic alopecia in men and women, highlighting its progression and differences in hair loss distribution between the sexes, but reports no new data.

This study found that dermal papilla cells from balding scalp follicles secrete significantly less insulin-like growth factor-1 and its binding proteins, suggesting a mechanism contributing to male pattern baldness.

This study demonstrated that transplanting hair from the chest to the balding scalp is a viable alternative when scalp hair is depleted, with successful graft take and inconspicuous donor site healing.

Sparse hairs below frontal hairline can indicate early male balding.

This meta-analysis found that men with vertex balding at age 40 or older may have a modestly increased risk of prostate cancer, with a pooled relative risk of 1.08, but no significant association was observed with frontal balding.

This study found that specific junctional proteins are significantly downregulated in balding regions of the scalp in men with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting disrupted cell communication may play a role in hair loss.

This study suggests that the expression of the DP2 receptor is higher in balding scalp cells and that its knockdown could inhibit the transition to the catagen phase in cultured human hair follicles, potentially counteracting hair growth inhibition associated with male pattern baldness.
