This study found that modulating BMP activity in transgenic mice affects the development and characteristics of several ectodermal organs, such as skin, hair, and claws, highlighting a stage-dependent influence on organogenesis.

Insulin sensitizers may slightly reduce hirsutism but are less effective than other treatments.

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.

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

In this study, 1 mg/day finasteride lowered serum PSA concentration in men aged 40–60, suggesting that PSA adjustment recommendations for prostate cancer screening using 5 mg/day finasteride should also apply to this lower dose for hair loss treatment.

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 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 no evidence of androgen deficiency or decreased peripheral androgen action in men with persistent sexual symptoms after finasteride use, but identified links to depressed mood and abnormal brain function.

This study found that dutasteride effectively improved urinary symptoms, reduced acute urinary retention risk, and decreased prostate volume in men with moderate to severe BPH over two years.

This review discusses the challenges of using surrogate variables versus primary clinical end-points in PCOS trials and reports no new research results; the authors suggest focusing future studies on primary outcomes.

In this study, a modified Ferriman-Galwey score greater than 4 was found to be effective for diagnosing hirsutism in Asian women, highlighting key areas such as the upper lip, thighs, and lower abdomen.

This study estimates the prevalence of hyperandrogenic states in late adolescent and young females, revealing that these disorders often begin at a young age.

This study reported that female pattern hair loss was prevalent in 11.8% of women aged 30 and older and was associated with high fasting glucose, fewer childbirths, oral contraceptive use, and excessive ultraviolet exposure.

This article reviews the complexities and challenges in classifying systemic lupus erythematosus and the problematic role of the anti-dsDNA antibody as a biomarker, without presenting new experimental findings.

This study found that using an oral contraceptive with bicalutamide significantly reduced hirsutism in women with PCOS compared to an oral contraceptive alone, although it increased total cholesterol and LDL levels.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia reported more impact on their quality of life in terms of emotions, functioning, and symptoms than those with alopecia areata.

Alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia affect quality of life similarly.

This study found that the Chinese version of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Quality of Life Questionnaire (Chi-PCOSQ) is sensitive to clinical changes and effectively assesses health-related quality of life in Chinese women with PCOS.

This study found that policemen aged 40-59 years had a twofold higher prevalence of androgenetic alopecia compared to the general population, with obesity and sunlight exposure contributing to the risk.

This study found that transplanted cultured epithelium from adult rat sole keratinocytes can respond to growth signals from dermal papillae and form follicular structures, especially with dermis support.

This study found that a vegetarian diet preference, atopy history, and paternal family history were associated with a higher likelihood of premature hair graying in young adults.

In this study, finasteride was found to potentiate stress-induced disruption in sensory gating of rats by neutralizing the increase in allopregnanolone levels after acute stress.
