This study found that the methanol extract of Eclipta alba showed dose-dependent hair growth promoting activity in pigmented C57/BL6 mice by influencing the transition from the telogen to anagen phase.

This review examines the impact of vitamin D signaling in extraskeletal tissues and notes that expected benefits from animal and cell studies have not been consistently replicated in human clinical trials.

This study found that prenatal exposure to finasteride in rats led to permanent changes in developmental endpoints like anogenital distance and nipple retention, which were predictive of further reproductive tract malformations.

This study found that eflornithine 15% cream reduced unwanted facial hair growth more effectively than a placebo in women with hirsutism, but hair growth returned to pretreatment levels within 8 weeks of stopping treatment.

This review discusses the developments in antifungal treatments for dermatophyte infections since 2008, reporting no new oral agents but introducing newer topical options like efinaconazole and tavaborole.

The authors concluded that pegylated liposomal doxorubicin may offer comparable efficacy to conventional doxorubicin with reduced toxicity in metastatic breast cancer treatment.

This review discusses the use of recombinant cytokines as therapeutic agents in clinical settings and describes the range of cutaneous complications associated with their use, including both minor and severe skin reactions.

In this study, DHT and calculated free DHT were linked to higher risks of incident cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in elderly men, while total testosterone and calculated free testosterone showed no such associations.

This study found that adverse reactions to para-phenylenediamine in hair dye, including severe allergic contact dermatitis, may be more common than currently reported and often misdiagnosed.

Minoxidil effectively treats severe hypertension but may cause side effects, so careful monitoring is needed.

This study found that peripilar signs on the scalp are linked to perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrates in early androgenetic alopecia, detectable even in areas with high hair density.

This review describes recent advances in using nanoparticles for drug delivery to hair follicles, with potential applications in treating skin diseases such as alopecia and acne, but reports no new findings.

In this study, older men using 5α-reductase inhibitors for prostatic enlargement did not show increased risk of suicide, but had elevated risks of self-harm and depression.

This study introduced a new hair shading model that more accurately simulates light scattering on hair fibers, capturing effects not predicted by previous models.

This case series suggests a possible, though likely very rare, association between vaccinations and hair loss, calling for further research in more defined populations.

This review presents evidence that correlations exist between hair mineral imbalances and various diseases, though inconsistencies in results highlight the need for standardized preparation methods.

This study describes the enzymatic processes through which DHEA is converted to active sex steroids in human skin, highlighting an androgenic effect on sebaceous glands and estrogenic effects in the vagina.

This study found that cortisone reductase deficiency is caused by inactivating mutations in the H6PD gene, affecting cortisol metabolism by preventing 11β-HSD1 enzyme function.

This review discusses circadian clock regulation in stem cells and its role in processes like neurogenesis, but reports no new results; the authors emphasize its significance in stem cell function across various tissues.

This study found that Sonic Hedgehog secreted by hair follicle transit-amplifying cells is essential for dermal adipogenesis and hair follicle growth by acting on adipocyte precursors.

This review discusses the adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, finasteride and dutasteride, on sexual, psychological, and vascular health, emphasizing the need for physicians to inform patients of these risks.

This study found that mTOR signaling plays a crucial role in activating hair follicle stem cells by balancing BMP-mediated repression, essential for hair regeneration.

This study reports that plasma rich in growth factors appeared to improve hair follicle regeneration and patient satisfaction in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, though further trials are needed.

This study found that both 2% and 3% minoxidil resulted in a significant increase in hair counts for participants with androgenetic alopecia over 12 months.

This article discusses treatments for female pattern hair loss, highlighting that oral antiandrogens and topical minoxidil can effectively arrest progression and reverse miniaturization in many patients with mild-to-moderate cases, but it reports no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews the role of androgen receptors in mediating the actions of androgens in specific tissues and provides no new experimental findings.

This abstract contains no research results; it provides information about the JAMA Dermatology journal and its access options.

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

This review discusses the potential causes and treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no new clinical findings, highlighting the need for further research to understand its pathogenesis and develop validated treatments.
