This review discusses the various evidence-based and potential applications of metformin in treating and preventing symptoms and complications associated with polycystic ovary syndrome but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines various methods for assessing hair growth in women, highlighting the usefulness of the mFG visual scoring method for diagnosing hirsutism despite its limitations.

This article reviews the role of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in hair follicle morphogenesis and the hair cycle, suggesting potential paths for developing treatments for hair growth disorders but providing no new clinical findings.

This study found that 5% topical minoxidil significantly increased hair regrowth and improved psychosocial perceptions of hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to 2% topical minoxidil and placebo over 48 weeks.

This study found that using curated biomedical databases as training examples for information extraction tasks in Genome-Wide Association Studies can outperform cost-insensitive methods, demonstrating their potential use without expert annotation.

This study found that dermal papilla cells from balding scalp hair follicles have significantly higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding follicles, supporting their in vivo androgen response.

In this 48-week trial, 5% topical minoxidil was more effective than both 2% minoxidil and placebo in promoting hair growth in women with female pattern hair loss, with notable improvements in nonvellus hair count and hair growth assessments.

This guideline outlines the management of systemic lupus erythematosus in adults but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that while PrEP was effective among transgender women if taken, adherence was low, especially among those at higher risk.

This study found that glycolytic metabolism and lactate production are crucial for hair follicle stem cell activation, and manipulating these processes can stimulate the hair cycle.

This article discusses the long-standing use and safety of opioids in anaesthesia, noting that respiratory depression is a manageable side effect due to the availability of opioid antagonists.

In this study, cross-sex hormone therapy affected hair growth patterns differently, with estrogen reducing hair growth in male-to-female transsexuals and testosterone increasing it in female-to-male transsexuals; however, male typical hair diameters were not fully reached in the latter group after 12 months.

This review of interventions for alopecia areata found no significant treatment benefits for hair growth compared to placebo, indicating a need for larger, well-conducted studies.

In this study, researchers found that substance P triggered premature catagen development and immune changes in human scalp hair follicles, providing a possible biological link between stress and hair loss conditions like telogen effluvium and alopecia areata.

This study found that low-level laser treatment with the HairMax Lasercomb significantly increased terminal hair density in both men and women with pattern hair loss, with no serious adverse events reported.

This study reviews the evolution and modifications of microneedle drug delivery systems, initially designed for percutaneous use, now expanded for targeting a variety of tissues and organs such as ocular, oral mucosal, and gastrointestinal, suggesting widespread future applicability.

This review argues that the immunocompetence hypothesis, linking masculine facial features to attractiveness through health benefits, lacks sufficient evidence and sidesteps alternative explanations.

This study suggests that applying topical Tempol to the scalp before whole brain radiation may protect against radiation-induced alopecia and is safe and well-tolerated.

In this study, researchers found that bulge cells in mouse hair follicles undergo transient proliferation during early anagen, indicating their role as follicular stem cells. However, another factor beyond dermal papilla proximity may be required to initiate a new anagen phase.

This study found that combining flutamide with an oral contraceptive significantly reduced hirsutism, acne, and seborrhea in patients after seven months, without significant side effects.

Diffuse alopecia in women may be related to androgens and iron deficiency, and basic hormone and nutrient screening is useful.

Minoxidil can help grow hair in mice by making cells grow and improving hair quality. More research needed.

This review provides an overview of recent tissue engineering and regenerative medicine developments in Asia, highlighting significant advances, representative research achievements, and discussing future directions, without presenting new research results.

This review discusses the clinical manifestations and immune response to Rhodococcus equi infection in foals but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the current status of oral retinoids in dermatology and reports no new clinical findings.

This pilot study suggests injecting platelet-derived growth factors into the scalp may offer some clinical benefits for androgenetic alopecia, though further randomized trials are needed for confirmation.

In this study, researchers found that p75 neurotrophin receptor signaling affects apoptosis during hair follicle regression in mice, and altering its activity might help manage disorders involving early catagen entry.

This article provides guidelines for molecular genetic testing of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, focusing on quality requirements, methodologies, and variant classification; it reports no new clinical results.

Sensitive skin is often caused by nerve fibers and environmental factors, and can be managed with mild skincare and professional advice.

This review discusses the genetic factors involved in hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the role of genes in hereditary hair diseases.
