This study confirmed that 5% topical minoxidil is more effective than 1% in increasing hair density in Japanese men with androgenetic alopecia, with no significant difference in adverse event rates.

This study found that five 0.1 mg dutasteride capsules are bioequivalent to one 0.5 mg dutasteride capsule in healthy adult males under fasting conditions, and both were well tolerated.

This pilot study found that among male androgenetic alopecia patients, 2.5 mg oral minoxidil with platelet-rich plasma led to higher patient satisfaction than 1.25 mg, though hair count improvements were not statistically significant.

This study reported two cases of alopecia universalis triggered by PEG-interferon and ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C, with hair regrowth observed after therapy completion or withdrawal.

This study found that in men with androgenic alopecia, moderate to severe cases were associated with the AA genotype of rs1160312, blood vanadium concentrations, and regular consumption of soy bean drinks.

This study reports the crystal structure and geometric parameters of a modified Finasteride derivative, highlighting significant differences in dihedral angles compared to its solvated analog and computational models.

This study hypothesizes that a mummified 19th Century girl in San Francisco died of severe undernourishment potentially due to a bacterial-borne disease, highlighting historical health challenges mitigated by modern sanitation and medicine.

This study found that children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia had elevated epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with increased carotid intima media thickness, left ventricular mass, and mitral deceleration time.

Martin-Perez et al. show that rapamycin's beneficial effects in a mouse model of Leigh syndrome are linked to the downregulation of protein kinase C.

This laboratory study found that nonanal, a plant scent compound, may stimulate growth factors and cell proliferation in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells, suggesting a cAMP-mediated mechanism.

In this study, children with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia were found to have increased epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis markers and left ventricular dysfunction, especially in poorly controlled cases.

This review discusses the use of 5α-reductase inhibitors, particularly finasteride, for treating conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia, male baldness, and hirsutism, and reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that platelet-rich plasma's high levels of growth factors may be limited in promoting bone regeneration due to the concurrent release of Dickkopf-1, which inhibits osteogenesis.

This review discusses the regulation and function of vitamin D and its receptor in skin cells, highlighting their roles in processes such as proliferation inhibition, differentiation, and innate immunity, but reports no new results.

This study demonstrated that enhancing human skin constructs with hair follicles through engineered cell organization and vascularization improved hair growth in immunodeficient mice, suggesting potential advances for treating alopecia and chronic wounds.

Human hair follicle stem cells show signs of low oxygen levels, which may be important for hair growth and preventing baldness.

This review discusses the potential role of vitamin D deficiency in cardiovascular and renal diseases and suggests that supplemental vitamin D could benefit cardiovascular outcomes, especially in African American and postmenopausal women; it reports no new clinical findings.

This report describes a case of a woman with ophiasis-pattern alopecia areata who experienced significant hair regrowth and maintained it for 6 months after treatment with dupilumab, though she eventually relapsed.

This study developed a caffeine-loaded solid lipid nanoparticle gel, observing significant reduction in subcutaneous fat tissue thickness in histological tests compared to an untreated group, suggesting it could effectively treat cellulite as a promising nanocosmeceutical gel.

In this study, activation of c-MycER in adult mouse epidermis rapidly induced proliferation and disrupted keratinocyte differentiation, causing changes similar to precancerous lesions, which regressed once c-MycER was deactivated.

This study found that a topical cream containing PTH (7–34) significantly stimulated hair growth in hairless mice.

This review discusses the roles of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and dermal papilla in hair follicle growth and cycling, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study identified three new mutations in the VDR ligand-binding domain that may cause dysfunction, and noted that oral calcium and calcidol treatment was effective, but only one patient experienced hair growth.

In this study, oral contraceptive use in women with PCOS increased the expression of certain inflammatory gene markers, which were positively associated with metabolic abnormalities.

This study reports that 2-(1-Adamantyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-on-6-O-sulfamate is the most potent steroid sulfatase inhibitor identified so far, exhibiting 170-fold higher activity than the lead compound estrone sulfamate.

This study found that telocytes are present in the human dermis, suggesting a potential role in skin homeostasis, remodeling, regeneration, and repair.

This review examines the functions of vitamin D and its receptor in skin and explores how these are regulated, reporting no new clinical results.

This review discusses how Western diet may contribute to acne vulgaris through insulin signaling and metabolomic changes, promoting a dietary approach for management, but reports no new experimental results.

This study demonstrated that modified montmorillonites combined with bacterial cellulose enhanced antimicrobial, wound healing, and tissue regenerative activities in a burn mice model, suggesting potential as an artificial skin substitute for burn patients.

This study found that serum androgen levels in premenopausal women may be influenced by genetic variants of the androgen receptor and estrogen receptor β genes.
