This meta-analysis reports that vertex baldness is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, particularly in younger men, while no significant link was found for frontal baldness.

This study found that older men with vertex balding had lower levels of IGFBP-3 and higher levels of IGF-1 in their plasma.

This study observed that repeated shaving and topical treatments, particularly TPA, stimulated hair regrowth in C3H mice, while certain treatments like betamethasone valerate completely inhibited it.

This study found that the progesterone metabolite 3α-THP increased the proliferation and gene expression of human glioblastoma cells, suggesting a role in tumor progression.

This study evaluated Tridax procumbens extracts for their in-vitro alpha amylase inhibitory activity compared to standard antidiabetic agents, suggesting potential benefits for diabetes management.

This study found that using ectopic expression of CD24 is a promising approach for selecting genetically modified human epidermal stem cells for safe cutaneous gene therapy in cancer-prone conditions.

This study found that 2% ketoconazole solution stimulated hair growth significantly in a mouse model, suggesting potential benefits for male pattern hair loss.

This study found that oral contraceptives effectively suppressed hyperandrogenemia in most patients with hyperandrogenic-insulin-resistant acanthosis nigricans syndrome, though GnRH-a therapy was beneficial for those not responding initially.

This case study reported a diagnosis of dermatophytic pseudomycetoma in a Persian cat with dermal nodules, highlighting potential heritable predisposition and suggesting systemic antifungal therapy for fair prognosis.

This article reviews the causes, classification, and new treatments for pseudofolliculitis barbae but provides no new research findings.

This study found that two new progesterone derivatives showed higher antiandrogenic effects and 5α-reductase inhibition than finasteride in hamsters, particularly reducing seminal vesicle weight and flank organ size.

This study found that early-onset baldness in African-American men is associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer and more aggressive tumors, with potential interactions involving age and smoking.

This study documented the progression of exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German shorthaired pointers and found generally poor responses to therapies, including immunomodulatory drugs and a TNF-α inhibitor.

This study indicates that the OVOL1-OVOL2 axis may play a significant role in hair follicle differentiation and growth, potentially serving as therapeutic targets for hair disorders like alopecia and in the tumorigenesis of pilomatricoma.

This study found that early onset androgenetic alopecia in young Asian Indian Gujarati men is independently associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease.

This review discusses various nonfollicular scalp conditions causing secondary scarring or permanent alopecia and highlights the importance of specific diagnoses and treatments but reports no new results.

This article reviews new drug therapies for endocrine disorders, discussing specific treatments such as trilostane for hyperadrenocorticism and various insulins for diabetes mellitus, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study reports that newly synthesized steroidal trienones exhibit higher 5α-reductase inhibitory activity than dienones in various biological models, suggesting potential use in treating androgen-dependent diseases.

This study reports that five new progesterone derivatives demonstrated inhibitory activity against the 5α-reductase enzyme and binding affinity for the androgen receptor in an in vitro hamster model.

This study found that mechlorethamine restored hair growth in mice with alopecia-areata-like disease by eliminating infiltrated lymphocytes and inhibiting certain pro-inflammatory cytokines in treated skin areas.

This study found that the pharmacological inhibition of 5-α reductases with finasteride and dutasteride can reduce neurosteroid synthesis in glioblastoma-derived cell lines, potentially impacting GBM survival.

This review discusses the topical use of systemic drugs for cutaneous disorders and reports a lack of strong evidence from randomized controlled trials, highlighting the need for larger comparative effectiveness studies.

This study found that transgenic mice with expression of HPV16 E6/E7 oncogenes showed improved ear tissue regeneration, including hair follicles and cartilage, without tumor formation.

This review discusses various aspects of unwanted facial hair, including its psychological impact and current treatment options, and reports no new clinical results from the satellite symposium at the EHRS Meeting.

This review discusses current treatment options for hirsutism, emphasizing the importance of combining therapies for better outcomes, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that several new pregnane derivatives, especially steroids 16 and 19, demonstrated higher antiandrogenic activity on male hamster models than the commonly used finasteride.

This study suggests that any baldness, particularly moderate balding, is associated with a higher risk of fatal prostate cancer in men, supporting a possible link between hair loss and prostate cancer mechanisms.

This study observed that men with vertex androgenetic alopecia at age 40 had a higher risk of early-onset prostate cancer, suggesting a potential link between the conditions.

This review discusses the management of androgenic disorders in women, highlighting that treatment is generally more effective than recognized, though improvement may take weeks or months to appear.

This review discusses the varied roles of Wnt7a in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer, reporting no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for further investigation on its roles in inflammation and fibrosis.
