This article reviews current knowledge on the causes, diagnosis, and medical treatments for androgenetic alopecia, particularly in men, and reports no new findings.

This study found that acute finasteride treatment decreased ethanol intake in male C57BL/6J mice, whereas chronic treatment showed diminished effects, implying compensatory changes in neurosteroid modulation.

This speculative review discusses hair cycle-dependent fibroblast dynamics and possible impacts on human hair growth, synthesizing current literature without presenting new clinical findings.

This review summarizes the application of microneedles in treating various skin diseases and highlights challenges like low drug loading, noting no new clinical results are reported.

This article updates a diagnostic tool (SALT II) for assessing hair loss by adding more precise measurements of scalp surface area, particularly useful for various types of alopecia.

This study reports the development of the first rodent model for androgenetic alopecia, demonstrating that overexpression of androgen receptors in mice delays hair regeneration and can be used to test new treatments.

This review examines around 68 plant sources from six major plant families, assessing their scientific rationale and use by the cosmeceutical industry for applications like anti-ageing and sun protection.

Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.

This research suggests that targeting the HIF-1α pathway via PHD inhibitors may enable regeneration similar to amphibians in mammals, potentially fast-tracking regenerative therapies from mice to humans.

This study found that the effectiveness of 17-beta-estradiol in inhibiting hair growth depends on its application method, and noted significant sex differences in response to 17-alpha-estradiol in male and female mice.

This review outlines dermatological toxicities associated with targeted cancer therapies and immunotherapies, emphasizing the need for collaborative management by oncologists and dermatologists but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that tamsulosin, finasteride use, and aging are significantly associated with increased risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery, while doxazosin does not appear to pose this risk.

This review discusses the cosmetic potential of Southeast Asian herbs and highlights the need for more systematic scientific evaluation of their efficacy and safety.
