This case report describes four patients with hypertrichosis cubiti and short stature, but could not determine a genetic link between hypertrichosis cubiti and skeletal dysplasia.

This article proposes a classification system for hair casts to resolve confusion in existing literature and describes a staining technique to distinguish peripilar keratin casts from other hair disorders, without providing new clinical results.

This review examines melatonin's potential effects on human skin and hair follicle pigmentation, highlighting the need to confirm findings from cell cultures in physiological tissue contexts.

This study found that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia primarily affects adult women of African descent and suggests an association with traumatic hair care practices and delayed diagnosis.

This review evaluates the potential benefits and mechanisms of blue light therapy for skin conditions like atopic dermatitis and acne, but highlights the need for further research on safety and clinical protocols.

This study found that, despite a major depletion of SOX2-expressing stem cells in the pituitary, there was no effect on endocrine cell homeostasis or response to certain stressors in adult mice.

This study investigated the role of NLRP3 inflammasomes in alopecia areata and found that outer root sheath cells may contribute to inflammation by increasing IL-1β and HMGB1 secretion when stimulated with double-stranded RNA.

This study reviewed the literature on low-dose oral minoxidil as a primary treatment for various hair loss disorders, concluding that it is a successful and well-tolerated alternative to topical minoxidil for patients with poor adherence to other therapies.

This review proposes a new classification for telogen effluvium, identifying three pathogenetic types with a common feature of profuse hair shedding, but reports no new clinical results.

This review summarized existing research on finasteride and erectile dysfunction, finding a correlation between finasteride use for benign prostatic hyperplasia and ED, but not strongly for male androgenetic alopecia.

This article includes no new results; it discusses ongoing treatment approaches for frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris.

This study reviews the complex pathophysiological mechanisms of long COVID and suggests a "treatable trait" approach for targeted interventions based on these mechanisms.

This article reviews how calcium and reactive oxygen species gradients and oscillations interact to promote root hair cell expansion and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that both metformin and rosiglitazone improved ovulation and insulin sensitivity in women with PCOS, with rosiglitazone showing a more pronounced increase in adiponectin levels.

This review discusses metformin's use in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, focusing on benefits during pre-conception and pregnancy, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the genetic and potential environmental factors in alopecia areata's pathogenesis and suggests a polygenic model but reports no new clinical findings.

Vitamin D deficiency is common in women with PCOS and linked to some metabolic problems, but not the main cause of their metabolic issues.

This review discusses the effects of hydrogen peroxide in clinical settings, highlighting a lack of data specifically for its use in hair transplant surgery and recommending further research.

This article discusses misconceptions around mineral nutrition in beef cattle and emphasizes that sub-clinical deficiencies or toxicities, rather than overt symptoms, often cause economic losses, but it reports no new findings.

In this study, human hair follicles showed varying expression of cholesterol transport proteins during the hair cycle, suggesting a potential role of cholesterol in hair growth and cycling.

This review discusses the complex relationship between anabolic substances and colorectal cancer risk, reporting ambiguous findings on their carcinogenic properties, potential synergy with risk factors, and protective roles.

This study determined that the human steroid 5α-reductase enzymes localize to the endoplasmic reticulum in HeLa cells, with protein tagging affecting expression and inducing protein aggregates for some isoforms.

This review discusses the physiological roles of the epidermal differentiation complex and its potential involvement in psoriasis, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This review evaluated the evidence on skin disorders linked to levodopa treatment for Parkinson's disease, suggesting a possible association with melanoma, though evidence remains inconclusive and further studies are needed.

This study found that an unhealthy lifestyle, including factors like past smoking and lack of fruit/vegetables in the diet, was associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome.

Finasteride helped treat a 28-year-old's facial skin condition.

This study suggests that idiopathic hirsutism may involve higher local androgen synthesis despite normal serum androgen levels, challenging its categorization as idiopathic.

This study developed a new method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to measure multiple steroid hormones in hair, requiring significantly fewer strands than previous methods, with high accuracy and precision.

This study found that bolandiol increased lean body mass and bone mineral density in castrate adult male rats, exhibiting tissue selectivity and acting through multiple receptor pathways with less potency compared to other androgens.
