In this case study, a 55-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia was ultimately diagnosed with hepatic cortisone reductase deficiency after initially suspected 21-hydroxylase deficiency was ruled out.

This study suggests that daughters of women with PCOS may have altered androgen metabolism in early childhood, with increased 5α-reductase activity potentially contributing to PCOS development.

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, methotrexate and leflunomide were compared for treating rheumatoid arthritis, showing similar efficacy overall. Methotrexate reduced swollen joints more effectively, while leflunomide was associated with fewer gastrointestinal side effects but more frequent liver enzyme increases.

This review discusses the potential benefits of photobiomodulation for managing side effects of cancer therapy and provides specific guidelines for its use in supportive cancer care, without presenting new clinical results.

This review discusses consensus guidelines for the use of acitretin in psoriasis, highlighting its ongoing utility in both mono and combination therapies, despite not always being recognized in treatment guidelines.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that the expression of the oncogene SmoM2 leads to basal cell carcinoma in the ear epidermis of mice but not in the back skin, with differences in susceptibility linked to the composition of the extracellular matrix.

This review discusses advances in molecular biology and genetics related to androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that certain T cell-associated genes were upregulated in dogs with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome and vitiligo, suggesting a shared immunopathogenesis with humans.

This study reported that both primary and secondary cutaneous follicle center lymphomas can present with atypical scalp or forehead lesions, leading to potential misdiagnosis as other skin conditions.

This review discusses the complexities of diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new results; the authors suggest a thorough and careful diagnostic approach to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary tests.

This review summarizes recent advancements in therapies targeting botulinum neurotoxin, emphasizing human monoclonal antibodies and clinical research, but provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that an 8-week practice of pranic meditation was associated with improved quality of life and mental health scores in breast cancer survivors, though further research is needed for confirmation.

This review discusses how transposable element activation may hinder tissue regeneration and explores mechanisms to control this activity, reporting no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers observed that EGFR deficiency in the epidermis affects gene expression related to cell differentiation and structure, highlighting spatial and temporal roles of EGFR during skin and hair follicle development.

This study found that prepubertal Hispanic girls with idiopathic premature adrenarche did not show differences in 5 alpha-reductase or 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activities compared to controls.

This case study highlights the significance of early diagnosis and treatment of Cushing's syndrome during pregnancy, as it is associated with severe maternal and fetal complications, including stillbirth.

This article is a letter to the editor discussing positive Jacquet's sign in traction alopecia and provides no new research results.

This letter to the editor about prostaglandins in androgenetic alopecia in men and women reports no new research findings.

This study observed that the genes WNT7A, CASP7, and TNF were overexpressed in early stages of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting involvement of the WNT pathway, apoptosis, and inflammation in the disorder's development.

This study describes three new cases of MCOPS6 with BMP4 variants, noting expanded phenotypic variability but no clinically apparent microphthalmia in these individuals, which is commonly reported in the disorder.

This study found that laser Doppler velocimetry can non-invasively predict topical minoxidil response by correlating scalp blood flow changes with sulfotransferase enzyme activity in women with pattern hair loss.

In this study, the ACE1 rs1799752 polymorphism was not found to predispose COVID-19 survivors to long-COVID symptoms, supporting previous findings that ACE2 and TMPRSS2 variants also do not influence post-COVID conditions.

This article describes a method using the CUBIC protocol to clarify and visualize molecular and cellular interactions in mouse skin biopsies at single cell resolution, but does not provide new biological findings.

This study found that the population of Smilax aristolochiifolia in the Poblano Totonacapan region of Mexico has decreased over the past 50 years, mainly due to land-use changes and herbicide use.

In this study, researchers found that targeting a tacrolimus trough level of 4–7 ng/mL after liver transplantation resulted in comparable graft and patient survival rates to higher levels, while improving liver and kidney function markers.

Dermoscopy greatly improves melanoma diagnosis and reduces unneeded surgeries.

This case report from the University of Alabama, Birmingham describes a rare paradoxical reaction of increased agitation and hyperactivity in a patient with schizoaffective disorder treated with divalproex sodium.

In this study, researchers developed a 3D in-vitro system for generating functional AT-resident macrophages without cell sorting, providing a valuable tool to study their differentiation and function in various physiological and pathological conditions.

This study reports the synthesis of a hectorite/phenanthroline nanomaterial which acts as a potential fluorescent sensor for detecting Zn ions in water, offering a solution to the low solubility issue of traditional metal ion-detecting molecules.

This letter to the editor presents no new research results; it discusses a combination of dutasteride intralesional microinjections with oral minoxidil versus oral minoxidil alone for treating androgenetic alopecia in men.
