Antiandrogens, particularly flutamide and CPA, are most effective for treating hirsutism, with long-term use needed for best results.

This article provides an updated overview of the diagnosis and management of tinea infections but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, miR-218-5p was found to enhance hair shaft growth and positively regulate the Wnt signaling pathway by targeting SFRP2 during skin and hair follicle development.

This study found that low-level laser therapy was the most effective non-surgical treatment for androgenetic alopecia, although the overall quality of evidence supporting various therapies was generally low.

This study observed that autologous PRP and PDRN injections improved hair thickness and density in women with pattern hair loss, with combined therapy showing greater improvement in thickness than PDRN alone.

In this study, topical application of Thuja orientalis extract promoted hair growth by inducing the anagen phase and increasing hair follicle size and number in telogenic mice.

This article reviews therapy-related hair disorders in oncology patients, detailing underlying mechanisms and potential management strategies, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that IGF-1 injections increased hair follicle number and growth phase duration in wild-type mice, suggesting potential for baldness treatment.

This study found that bimatoprost stimulated hair growth in both human scalp follicle cultures and mouse pelage in vivo, suggesting it might offer a promising treatment for scalp alopecias.

The study found that severe insulin resistance and premature diabetes are common in patients with PCNT genetic defects, primarily affecting those over four years old, while not impacting early insulin signaling in adipocytes.

This study found that prolactin plays a direct role in regulating the timing of hair growth cycles in mice by affecting the skin, rather than through other endocrine factors.

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.

This article proposes two new categories of cicatricial alopecia—“unstable” and “stable”—and suggests surgical excision as preferred over hair transplantation, especially for unstable cases.

This study identified the location of the genetic locus for the slick hair coat trait in cattle on bovine chromosome 20, which may contribute to heat tolerance.

This review discusses various techniques for evaluating hair shedding and alopecia but reports no new clinical results. The authors emphasize the value of specific clinical and instrumental methods in assessing hair growth.

This study found that the aqueous ethanol extract of Myricae Cortex demonstrated in vitro testosterone 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity and in vivo anti-androgenic effects in mouse and hamster models.

This study found that twice-daily application of 3% topical minoxidil maintained a higher nonvellus hair count compared to once-daily application over 2 years and 9 months in men with male pattern baldness.

In this study, BLIMP1 was found to function in terminally differentiated epidermal cells to maintain homeostasis, rather than defining a sebocyte progenitor population.

This study suggests that a 1,550-nm fractional erbium-glass laser may stimulate hair growth in both an alopecia mouse model and human subjects with male pattern hair loss, though further research is needed to determine its clinical applications.

This review discusses the role of estrogens in hair follicle cycling and the skin, highlighting the need for more research on estrogen signaling pathways and their interactions with other factors in hair biology.

In this study, red ginseng extract and its ginsenosides enhanced human hair follicle cell proliferation and countered dihydrotestosterone-induced suppression, suggesting potential to promote hair growth.

This review explores the medicinal properties of Eclipta alba and its phytoconstituents and reports their potential for developing new drugs, but presents no new research results.

This article discusses the causes, development, treatment, and prevention strategies for pseudofolliculitis barbae and folliculitis keloidalis nuchae, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that disrupting Stat3 in keratinocyte stem cells of mice reduced skin tumor formation by approximately 80%, suggesting Stat3's role in tumor initiation survival mechanisms.

This study found that C. obtusa oils promoted hair growth in shaved mice and increased the expression of a hair growth regulator, VEGF, in a cell line.

This study suggests that artificial sebum L may serve as an effective substitute for human sebum in drug transport studies, due to its similar physicochemical properties.

Higher IGF-1 levels in hair follicles link to better finasteride results for hair loss.

This study identified chemokine receptor ligands cxcl10 and cxcl11 as new hair-specific transcriptional targets of the Eda pathway, suggesting chemokine signaling plays a role in primary hair follicle patterning.

This study found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was most effective for hair regrowth in localized alopecia areata, with betamethasone valerate foam also being beneficial, while tacrolimus ointment showed no significant effect.

HIV can cause various nail and hair disorders, important for early diagnosis and treatment.
