This review discusses female pattern hair loss, its psychological impact, and available treatments but provides no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize early intervention for better outcomes.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African-descent females, discussing possible causes, associated styling habits, and potential treatments, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors call for further research.

This study found that p53 plays a crucial role in regulating apoptosis during hair follicle regression (catagen) in mice, and its absence leads to delayed progression and altered expression of apoptosis-related markers.

This review discusses trichoscopy as a noninvasive, effective technique for diagnosing various hair loss conditions and monitoring treatment, highlighting its potential to reduce scalp biopsy necessity.

Hormonal treatment in transgender women reduces semen quality, but stopping treatment may improve it.

The study reports that Fgf18 and Tgf-β2 signaling pathways in hair follicle stem cells have opposing effects on the timing of hair cycle transitions, influencing the shift from telogen to anagen phases.

In this study, finasteride, 1 mg daily, significantly increased hair weight more than hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia, indicating additional factors like hair growth rate and thickness may contribute to its effectiveness.

This review outlines the development, applications, and challenges of microneedle-based drug delivery from 2000-2019, particularly highlighting fabrication techniques, but reports no new clinical results.

Vitiligo causes white skin patches and is linked to autoimmune issues.

This review discusses the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and their agonists in dermatology but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that murine skin is a target for melatonin bioregulation, as melatonin affected DNA synthesis and tyrosinase activity in skin organ culture.

This review discusses the complex interaction between androgens and hair follicle biology, highlighting the need for a better understanding to improve hirsutism treatments, but reports no new results.

This review discusses the potential for SSRIs to cause serious skin reactions and suggests considering alternative antidepressants if such reactions occur.

This study found that compliance rates for oral contraceptives are low and similar to those for other medical treatments, indicating a need for alternatives that require less daily adherence.

Oral retinoids are effective for severe skin conditions but require careful use due to side effects.

This study found that the topically applied non-steroidal antiandrogen RU 58841 may reduce androgen-dependent skin conditions in a hamster model with minimal systemic effects.

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 demonstrated a method for large-scale preparation of self-sorted hair follicle germs in vitro, which successfully generated hair follicles when transplanted into the skin of nude mice.

This study found that betasitosterol-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers, when added to butter, improved its nutritional profile and antioxidant properties, maintaining stability over a three-month storage period.

This study observed that hair breakage may indicate early central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women, suggesting that it should be considered in their differential diagnosis.

In this study, germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa showed anti-androgenic effects by inhibiting 5α-reductase, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for treating androgen-dependent disorders.

This study suggests that combination drug therapy with spironolactone and either oral contraceptives or dexamethasone effectively manages unresponsive hirsutism, with eight of nine patients achieving satisfactory clinical responses.

This review discusses the International Evidence-Based PCOS Guidelines, which aim to improve diagnosis and management of PCOS and its associated comorbidities, noting the importance of early intervention and healthy lifestyle changes; it reports no new results.

This study examined finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, for treating a Tourette’s syndrome patient unresponsive to traditional therapy, noting its limited side effects.

This review discusses the clinical use of anti-androgen medications and highlights emerging evidence supporting plant-derived anti-androgens like spearmint tea for managing PCOS, but reports no new clinical results.

This article examines current pharmacologic treatments for PCOS focusing on symptom-specific approaches, particularly the metabolic effects of therapies, but reports no new clinical findings.

The study observed that finasteride reduced fertility in male Sprague-Dawley rats by impairing the formation of copulatory plugs, an effect considered specific to rats and not applicable to species without this reproductive feature.

This review covers the ongoing debate on measuring underinsurance in health coverage and reports no new empirical results, recommending a national effort to standardize underinsurance metrics.
