This study found an association between a splice site variant in the KRT71 gene and curly hair in Selkirk Rex cats, identifying a significant locus on chromosome B4.

In this study, treatment with insulin sensitizers significantly increased adipose tissue GLUT4 mRNA expression and improved insulin resistance, menstrual patterns, and androgen profiles in PCOS patients, with rosiglitazone being more effective than metformin.

This article discusses the importance of individualized treatment plans based on the morphological characteristics of the aging face in surgical rejuvenation, but it provides no new findings.

This study found that a testosterone patch and gel showed bioequivalent testosterone levels in hypogonadal men, but the patch mimicked a natural circadian profile, while the gel resulted in higher dihydrotestosterone levels.

This case report describes a domestic shorthaired cat with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism treated with trilostane, which improved clinical signs, but the cat later succumbed to renal failure due to a fungal urinary tract infection.

This review discusses treatments for demodicosis in adults and children and provides no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for careful diagnosis and therapy selection.

This review discusses the sex differences in neuroactive steroid synthesis and their implications for nervous system functions and potential therapeutic approaches, but it provides no new experimental results.

This review examines the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms by which DHEA and DHEA-S influence various bodily systems, citing rodent studies, but presents no new clinical results.

This viewpoint essay discusses the potential of fullerene C60 derivatives as novel treatment agents in dermatology, highlighting their ability to act as both radical scavengers and oxygen radical generators.

This study found that in an Italian population, the HLA-DQB1*03 allele was associated with increased susceptibility to alopecia areata, particularly in cases with more than 50% hair loss.

This review highlights the use of natural products in cosmetic-containing herbals for skin and hair care but reports no new clinical results, calling attention to their claimed curative properties and minimal side effects.

In this study, finasteride treatment for 56 days in adult rats led to sloughing of immature germinal cells and reduced sperm content in the epididymis, indicating its importance for maintaining spermatogenesis.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells from hidradenitis suppurativa patients showed alterations in cell cycle regulation and DNA replication, potentially linking genetic predisposition to the skin inflammation characteristic of the disease.

This study found that knocking out the transactivation domain of Miz1 in mouse keratinocytes disrupted hair follicle orientation, caused irregular pigmentation, and increased keratinocyte proliferation, indicating Miz1's role in hair follicle development and morphogenesis.

This review explores the cellular dynamics of graft rejection in vascularized composite allotransplantation and discusses how understanding these processes might lead to innovative treatments for managing rejection.

This study found that EGFR and MEK inhibitors may induce acneiform skin toxicities by interacting with the skin bacterium Cutibacterium acnes to increase IL-36γ and IL-8 production in keratinocytes.

In this study, researchers found that targeted therapies for metastatic melanoma often cause hair and nail side effects, with hair changes more common in patients treated with BRAF inhibitors like vemurafenib.

This article investigates whether finasteride influences adult hippocampal neurogenesis related to depression and reports no new clinical findings; the authors suggest further research on its neurosteroid inhibition.

This review discusses the potential benefits of photobiomodulation for managing side effects of cancer therapy and provides specific guidelines for its use in supportive cancer care, without presenting new clinical results.

This study identified two types of calcium in human scalp hair, with one type highly variable between individuals, potentially impacting the analysis of environmental and medical factors related to hair calcium.

This study concluded that heterozygosity for CYP21 mutations is associated with higher mean and free testosterone levels in women but does not significantly increase their risk of developing clinically evident hyperandrogenism.

This study found that certain gene sets, including those involved in ligand-gated ion channel signaling and cell adhesion, are associated with Tourette syndrome, suggesting a potential neurobiological basis for the disorder.

This study concluded that finasteride-induced DHT deficiency intensified constitutive iNOS expression in rat testicular and epididymal cells, suggesting a complex regulatory relationship needing further investigation.

In this study, inactivating the TAF4 subunit of transcription factor TFIID in mouse epidermis disrupted gene expression linked to skin and hair function, and increased tumor risk.

This study identified multiple loss of function variants in the HR gene linked to the unique hair coat phenotype in lykoi cats, also known as werewolf cats.

This study reports that the loss of the protein Memo in mice leads to a reduced lifespan and suggests that Memo is a key regulator of FGFR signaling and vitamin D production.

In this study using rats, finasteride-induced DHT deficiency led to morphological changes in seminiferous tubules, linked with altered junctional protein expression, potentially impairing fertility.

This study found that rat male costochondral chondrocytes, unlike female chondrocytes, respond to testosterone through metabolism to dihydrotestosterone, which shows a maturation-state dependent effect in male growth plate cells.

This study reported that topical 2% minoxidil solution improved hair growth compared to placebo in men with early male-pattern baldness over 24 weeks, with no significant safety issues observed.

In this study, topical minoxidil did not show an antiandrogenic effect on androgen-dependent cutaneous structures in the golden Syrian hamster, suggesting it likely does not have this role in humans either.
