This workshop review from the Australian Hair and Wool Research Society discusses findings in cutaneous biology and endocrinology but presents no new research results.

This study evaluated the persistent adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors in men previously treated for androgenic alopecia and highlighted issues with sexual, genitourinary, physical, psychiatric, cognitive, and androgenic health.

This study found that Shh from neurons signals to Gli1-expressing cells in the hair follicle, cultivating a niche where these bulge cells can potentially transform into epidermal stem cells in wound healing.

Combination therapy of doxazosin and finasteride safely and effectively reduces benign prostatic hyperplasia progression risk.

In this study, 5 mg of finasteride per day significantly improved urinary symptoms and reduced prostate volume in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, but increased the risk of sexual dysfunction.

This article reviews the design and objectives of the Rotterdam Study, as well as summarizes major findings, without reporting new results.

This article outlines the rationale and design of the Rotterdam Study, summarizes its major findings, and updates its objectives and methods; it reports no new research results.

This study found that Hoxc13 mutations in mice cause defects in hair, nail, and tongue structures, with the most noticeable issue being brittle hair leading to alopecia.

This study found that maternal PPARγ is essential for preventing the production of inflammatory lipids in mouse milk, which can otherwise cause inflammation, alopecia, and growth retardation in nursing pups.

This study found a high prevalence of central hair loss among African American women and associated it with diabetes mellitus type 2, bacterial scalp infections, and hairstyles causing traction.

This study found that MDP hydrogel significantly accelerated wound healing and improved tissue formation in diabetic mice compared to a standard clinical hydrogel and control buffer.

This study found that a 2% topical minoxidil solution significantly increased hair regrowth compared to placebo in women with androgenetic alopecia over 32 weeks.

This study found that dysregulation of the folliculin-p0071 interaction may lead to changes in cell adhesion and signaling, contributing to conditions like emphysema and renal cell carcinoma.

This study identified a novel G207E STING mutation associated with severe inflammatory symptoms and suggested that common polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1 may modify the phenotype in affected individuals.

This study found that overexpressing human Bcl-2 in mice protected epidermal keratinocytes from UVB-induced apoptosis but unexpectedly increased apoptosis during hair follicle regression and chemotherapy.

This review presents standardized methods for assessing and tracking hair loss in alopecia areata but reports no clinical results, with the authors noting time limitations in clinical practice.

This review discusses the challenges of using surrogate variables versus primary clinical end-points in PCOS trials and reports no new research results; the authors suggest focusing future studies on primary outcomes.

This article reviews advancements in hair restoration, highlighting improvements in surgical techniques and patient satisfaction, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that while bimatoprost was safe for 16 weeks, it was not effective for eyelash growth in patients with significant loss due to alopecia areata, though some with less loss experienced growth.

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 observed that selectively activating activin in the epidermis of mice enhanced reepithelialization during wound healing without altering the quality of the healed wound.

This study found that follicular stem cells in hair follicles are more sensitive to the antiproliferative effects of glucocorticoids compared to basal keratinocytes due to incomplete desensitization.

This article presents a model for evaluating public R&D that emphasizes measuring capacity-based metrics over traditional outcome-based metrics, using the concept of a Knowledge Value Collective.

Minoxidil in breast milk may harm nursing infants.

This review found that while topical minoxidil is effective for treating female pattern hair loss, finasteride showed no more effectiveness than placebo, and low-level laser therapy increased hair count but with inconsistent results.

This case report describes total alopecia in a 53-year-old woman after 13 months of tamoxifen treatment for breast cancer, with normal hair distribution maintained elsewhere.

This study concluded that standard decontamination procedures do not fully remove external contamination from post mortem hair specimens, which complicates using hair analysis to assess long-term drug exposure.

This case report concludes that the presence of distinctive histiocytic responses in a Cambodian woman's eyelid lipogranulomas suggests surreptitious silicone injections despite her denial of prior procedures.

This study identified two novel genetic variants associated with Alzheimer's disease in APOE ε4 non-carriers, revealing insights into the disease's underlying regulatory mechanisms.

This review outlines diagnostic possibilities for diffuse, nonscarring hair loss in women and reports no new clinical findings.
