In castrated rats, this study found that triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum inhibited both types of 5α-reductase and reduced prostate growth linked to testosterone but not dihydrotestosterone.

This review examines testosterone's role in male health and aging but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for further research on optimal testosterone levels to prevent age-related conditions.

This article reviews different acne treatments and emphasizes the importance of being aware of their potential side effects, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that deleting the CD98hc protein in mouse skin impairs wound healing and homeostasis, resembling aging effects, due to disrupted integrin signaling pathways.

In this study, elevated afamin concentrations were associated with metabolic syndrome in young women, particularly those with insulin resistance, suggesting a potential predictive role for afamin in metabolic risk assessment.

This study indicates that the Sp6 gene is crucial for the development of skin, teeth, limbs, and lungs in mice, possibly through regulating apoptosis.

This study found that C-reactive protein may enhance monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells through NOX-mediated oxidative stress, suggesting a potential mechanism for atherogenesis.

Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.

This study found that male pattern hair loss may be associated with differences in serum levels of androstenedione, cortisol, 17 beta-estradiol, and luteinizing hormone, compared to controls.

This study found that dutasteride completely suppressed the formation of 5alpha-dihydro metabolites in cultured human skin cells, suggesting its potential use in acne and androgenetic alopecia.

This study demonstrated that dermal papilla cells are molecularly distinct from fibroblasts and identified many novel molecules, including a new member of the CTGF protein family.

This case report describes a 23-year-old woman who experienced hair breakage along her anterior hairline due to the formation of bubbles in the hair shafts from blow-drying techniques.

This review discusses dermatologic manifestations of COVID-19, highlighting the possibility that skin signs might be the initial indicators of infection, though it reports no new clinical results.

This essay critically analyzes photographic narratives of breast cancer, particularly Catherine Lord's and Lynn Kohlman's works, to explore how these narratives deepen understanding of women's technologized bodies and offer discursive resistance and audience engagement.

This article discusses hair angle manipulation using the Mega FUE® device but reports no clinical results; disclosure of the author's ownership of the manufacturing company is noted.

This study found that MEGA PROTAC improved the prediction of ternary structures with higher maximum DockQ scores compared to the BOTCP method in 16 out of 22 test cases.

This study found that the alkaloids cepharanthine and berbamine bind to SK2 and SK3 channel subtypes with affinities that match their concentrations active against various diseases, prompting further investigation into SK channels' role in their therapeutic effects.

This study found that etifoxine pretreatment reduced neuroinflammation and improved cognitive function in LPS-induced neuroinflammation in mice, potentially through increased neurosteroid synthesis and reduced apoptosis.

This study suggests that combining baricitinib with narrowband UV-B therapy is an effective and well-tolerated approach for treating active nonsegmental vitiligo.

This study shows that differences in Hoxc gene expression in hair follicle mesenchyme along the body axis contribute to regional variations in mammalian hair growth.

This study found that a shampoo with a selective TAAR agonist reduced hair shedding during brushing by 31% in women and contracted the arrector pili muscle.

This editorial reviews recent European legal developments related to patents on second medical uses and dosage regimes, with no new research findings reported.

Using cheek skin and cartilage grafts for nose reconstruction after skin cancer surgery can maintain shape and function but may require multiple surgeries and hair removal in men.

In this review, researchers explored the multifaceted role of NF-κB signaling in various biological processes and diseases, including its interactions with other pathways, and discussed possible therapeutic approaches targeting this pathway for treating conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and COVID-19.

In this study, the authors found that applying hypobaric pressure to the skin significantly increases the transdermal permeation of large molecules by enhancing diffusion, despite the associated skin stretching and hair follicle enlargement not fully explaining this effect.

This study found that SMAD2 overexpression in human hair follicle stem cells promoted differentiation and apoptosis while inhibiting proliferation, and Smurf2 upregulation limited mouse wound healing by suppressing the SMAD2/NANOG/DNMT1 axis.

Histone demethylases play a key role in the development of many diseases and may be targets for treatment.

This review explores how various skin cell types contribute to photoaging driven by UV radiation, detailing their interactions and molecular mechanisms like oxidative stress and ECM degradation, ultimately offering insights for future anti-photoaging strategies.

This review highlights that bicalutamide, a non-steroidal antiandrogen used in prostate cancer treatment, is mainly effective through its (R)-enantiomer and emphasizes the need to monitor its adverse effects despite its targeted antiandrogenic action.
