This abstract discusses Lichen Sclerosus, a chronic skin condition affecting the genitals, highlighting its symptoms, complications, and impact on quality of life, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study established that a human epidermal model can be utilized to assess 5alpha-reductase activity and evaluate enzyme modulators, such as finasteride, for dermatological applications.

This study identified five mutations in the gene LSS in individuals with unexplained hypotrichosis simplex, highlighting a potential role of mislocalized LSS proteins in disrupting hair follicle biology.

This study found that liarozole is more effective than cyproterone acetate for improving PSA response and survival in metastatic prostate cancer after first-line endocrine therapy, while maintaining quality of life.

This review discusses common skin appendage diseases, including their pathophysiology and treatments, but does not report new results.

This study used 3D imaging to reveal age-related reductions in the volumes and connectivity of dermal papillae and rete ridges at the dermal-epidermal junction, which are not fully apparent in 2D examinations.

This study found that excess vitamin A in organ cultures of mouse embryos led to significant changes in epidermis and hair follicles, altering morphogenesis and polysaccharide distribution.

This study found that excess vitamin A induced stable glandular morphogenesis and mucous metaplasia in embryonic mouse vibrissa follicles, even after switching to standard medium.
