Hormones and genetics affect hair growth and patterns, with some changes reversible and others not.

This review indicates that most studies reported positive effects of platelet-rich plasma injections for treating androgenic alopecia, with no major side effects, suggesting it may be a safe alternative to Minoxidil and Finasteride.

This study found that women with PCOS reported higher overall psychological distress, but there was no significant link between their perceived hirsutism and this distress.

This study found a strong dose-related increase in the risk of intracranial meningiomas associated with high doses of cyproterone acetate, with some reduction in risk after stopping the treatment.

This review discusses various substances that can impact male fertility and stresses that products should be confirmed 'sperm-safe' through rigorous testing, not assumptions; it reports no new study results.

Burn reconstruction improves with new techniques, materials, and tissue engineering.

This study found low- to very low-quality evidence suggesting that several pharmacological treatments, including alpha blockers and antibiotics, may reduce prostatitis symptoms without significantly increasing adverse events in the short term, although more rigorous trials are needed.

This study found that different epidermal stem cell populations contribute to the formation of various skin tumors and new hair follicles following β-catenin activation in the adult epidermis.

This study suggests that the HDAC9 gene is a third susceptibility gene for male-pattern baldness, with significant associations found in both German and Australian samples.

In this study, artesunate was confirmed as an effective treatment for severe malaria, but post-treatment hemolytic anemia occurred, although it was mostly mild and only one transfusion was needed.

This study reports the creation of rat liver stem cell lines that can differentiate into hepatocytes and suggests they might be useful for pharmacological and regenerative medicine applications.

This article reviews the unique health issues and preventive care recommendations for LGBT individuals, emphasizing dermatologic considerations and the importance of culturally competent care, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that androgen receptor activation in adult mouse skin reduces β-catenin-induced hair follicle growth and sebaceous gland conversion, highlighting its role in stem cell fate decisions.

This study found that phosphatidic acid promotes hair growth by stimulating cell proliferation and protecting against apoptosis in murine hair epithelial cells, unlike lysophosphatidic acid, which showed limited effects.

This study found that specific mutations in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 may significantly alter its structure and affect how it binds to certain inhibitors, but experimental studies are needed to confirm potential clinical implications.

This study found that the signaling peptide CLE40 and receptor proteins CLV2 and CRN regulate root meristem differentiation through two distinct, antagonistic pathways activated by CLE40 in a dose-dependent manner.

This review discusses the integration of drug repurposing with personalized medicine through off-label prescribing and reports no new results, highlighting the potential for systematic exploration using omics technologies.

This review explores recent findings on the roles of melanocyte and melanocyte stem cells in the hair follicle, highlighting their importance for skin health and potential applications in regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

Many recovered COVID-19 patients in Saudi Arabia still experience symptoms like fatigue and anxiety, especially older adults and those with other health issues.

The authors describe drug repurposing as a promising strategy for finding new uses for existing drugs, noting it is efficient, cost-effective, and poses lower risks than traditional drug discovery processes, potentially aiding in the treatment of rare and difficult-to-treat diseases.

This study found that topical melatonin solution was associated with positive effects on hair density and reduction in hair loss for androgenetic alopecia, with good tolerability reported in several clinical trials.

This study found that a genetic model using SNPs can predict early-onset male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, which may assist in decisions about interventions.

This study introduced LabeledIn, a semi-automatic, human-reviewed catalog of drug-disease treatment relationships, highlighting the important role of human input in creating accurate and detailed drug indication resources.

This study introduces MicrobeFDT, a tool that clusters chemically similar compounds and links them to gut microbial enzymes and toxicities, demonstrating its utility by uncovering previously unknown metabolism of the cancer drug altretamine.

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.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms, efficacy, and adverse reactions of drugs commonly used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the dermal papilla of the hair follicle regulates stem cell quiescence and regeneration by modulating Shh and Wnt signaling pathways, highlighting the importance of signaling cross talk in regeneration.

This study found that in mouse skin, the activation of stem/progenitor cells is synchronized across different niches during growth, with the glutamate transporter SLC1A3 playing a crucial role in this process.

This article reviews advancements in hair restoration, highlighting improvements in surgical techniques and patient satisfaction, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses defining criteria of social housing and proposes a new definition, without reporting new results.
