This study found that feeding mice high levels of dietary vitamin A increased WNT signaling, which activated hair follicle stem cells and may have accelerated alopecia areata progression.

In this study, low-dose finasteride (2.5 mg/day) significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women over 12 months without significant hormonal changes or serious side effects.

This case report describes a 20-year-old female who ingested an unknown quantity of minoxidil tablets in an overdose, presenting with cardiovascular symptoms, but her condition stabilized after supportive care.

This study reported that allethrin caused dose-dependent toxico-pathological effects, including decreased feed intake, body weight, and blood parameters, and organ damage in adult male albino rats.

This review examines misconceptions and gaps in the understanding of androgenic alopecia (AGA) etiopathogenesis, offering new perspectives but no new experimental results.

This study found that the less common CAG-rs4045402 and GGN-rs3138869 polymorphisms were more frequent in patients with post-finasteride syndrome and androgenetic alopecia, suggesting a genetic predisposition to AGA development.

This review discusses treatments for female acne, highlighting the effectiveness of low-dose oral contraceptives and noting their similar side effects to placebo; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses potential treatments for androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new findings, emphasizing the importance of individualized antiandrogenic management to minimize side effects.

This study found that a transdermal delivery system using 3% azone and P407 gel may enhance the skin permeation of doxazosin and finasteride for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This article discusses various pruritic dermatoses that can occur during pregnancy, emphasizing the importance of physician skill in diagnosing and treating these conditions; it reports no new findings.

This article provides an overview of acne vulgaris, discussing its causes, presentation, and psychosocial impact, but it reports no new research findings or clinical results.

This study found that dutasteride more effectively inhibited androgen receptor signaling and reduced cell growth compared to finasteride in prostate cancer cell models, with varying sensitivities across different cell lines.

This study found that octahydrobenzo[c]quinolizin-3-one derivatives, particularly compound 3, were potent and selective inhibitors of the enzyme 5α-reductase type 1.

This study suggests that statins may be linked to various ovary and uterus related adverse events, highlighting the need for monitoring in clinical practice.

This review highlights the challenges in screening for steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and discusses significant variability in the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride, calling for standardized testing methods to develop safer, more specific inhibitors from herbal preparations.

In this study, oral tofacitinib showed higher efficacy and tolerability in treating refractory alopecia totalis and universalis compared to traditional treatments, achieving a 50% improvement in severity scores for 44.4% of patients over six months, with fewer adverse effects.

This article reviews how aging affects skin and stem cells, but it contains no new research findings.

In this study, testosterone and certain metabolites were highly effective in promoting sebaceous structure growth in the female hamster flank organ, while others had limited or no effect.

This study found that topical minoxidil 5% gel and spironolactone 1% gel were both effective treatments for androgenetic alopecia, with a combination of both providing the best clinical response and achieving 100% effectiveness among participants.

This study observed that finasteride, especially when combined with electrolysis, effectively reduced hair growth in women with hirsutism over six months.

This case report suggests that topical St. John's wort oil may cause severe skin toxicity during radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer, acting as a significant radiosensitizer.

This review found that oral and topical phosphodiesterase inhibitors and topical prostaglandin analogues are safe and effective treatments for various skin diseases, including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and alopecia.

This article discusses the hypothesis that mechanisms driving androgenic alopecia may reduce the risk and proliferation of prostate cancer by increasing prostaglandin D2 levels but presents no new clinical findings.

This study in rats suggests that combining the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor 4-MA with the antiandrogen Flutamide may enhance prostate cancer therapy by additively inhibiting prostatic growth and mRNA levels of androgen-sensitive prostatic binding proteins.

This study found differences in urinary androgen and estrogen concentrations between male pattern baldness patients treated with finasteride and healthy controls, suggesting potential biomarkers for post-finasteride syndrome.

This study found that the retinoid receptor and PPAR pathway are involved in hair follicle miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia, alongside androgen receptors.

This study found that IPL hair reduction led to significant decreases in hair count and thickness by promoting hair follicle miniaturization, increased telogen phase, and reduced cell proliferation.

Minoxidil reacts to nitrosation 7 times more than phenol, mainly due to its -NH₂ groups, leading to the creation of N-nitrosominoxidil.

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 inhibiting class I histone deacetylases in postnatal mouse dermal cells preserved their ability to induce hair follicles during culture by increasing specific gene expressions and activating the Wnt signaling pathway.
