Aldesleukin can treat certain cancers and increase HIV patient CD4+ counts but often causes severe side effects.

This review discusses the potential benefits and adverse effects of testosterone therapy in women with androgen insufficiency, and highlights the need for further research on its long-term safety and effectiveness.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher activity of the enzyme 5alpha-reductase, which may contribute to their elevated androgen levels.

This study found a statistically significant increase in glycosylated hemoglobins among patients with adult-acquired panhypopituitarism undergoing long-term GH replacement therapy, with two developing diabetes requiring treatment.

In this study, robotic follicular unit grafting for hair transplantation showed minimal complications and high patient satisfaction, though some individuals required additional surgery.

This study showed that Thujae occidentalis semen extract inhibited 5alpha-reductase type 2 in laboratory tests and reduced androgen-related hair loss in animal models, suggesting potential use for male pattern baldness.

This study found that 18-β-Glycyrrhetinic acid, a licorice component, stimulated human hair follicle cell proliferation, inhibited testosterone 5α-reductase, and suppressed TGF-β1, suggesting potential for treating androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair growth and prolonging the anagen phase.

This study demonstrated that derivatives of dehydroepiandrosterone (2a-b, 3a-f, and 4a-f) significantly reduced viable LNCaP prostate cancer cells, suggesting potential therapeutic use for metastatic prostate cancer, while finasteride did not alter cell viability.

This study found that stabilized beta-catenin is crucial for activating stem cell transition from quiescence to proliferation in hair follicles by influencing gene expression within the stem cell niche.

This study observed that acute stress in rats increased neurosteroid levels linked to enhanced GABA(A) receptor function, raising seizure thresholds, while similar effects were seen in mice with deoxycorticosterone administration.

This study found that the petroleum ether extract from the leaves of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis demonstrated more effectiveness in promoting hair growth in rats compared to the extract from its flowers.

The document concludes that diagnosing and treating Human African Trypanosomiasis is challenging, but new treatments like fexinidazole are promising.

In this study, ectopic Wnt10b-mediated β-catenin activation in hair follicles resulted in larger regenerating anagen hair structures, an effect modulated by the Wnt inhibitor DKK1.

Hair transplantation successfully treated a woman's hair loss caused by a tight ponytail.

This review discusses topical and intralesional treatments for alopecia areata, providing a management strategy based on patient age and disease severity, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various biologics for hair aging but reports no agent capable of reversing the natural aging process of hair.

This editorial discusses the hormonal basis of catamenial epilepsy, particularly focusing on the roles of progesterone and neurosteroids, and presents no new research findings.

In this study, microneedles combined with finasteride nanostructured lipid carriers (FIN-NLC-MNs) were found to enhance skin penetration and specifically target hair follicles, promoting hair growth and gene regulation in androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that glutathione deficiency affects lateral root and root hair responses to indole butyric acid in plants, but not to indole acetic acid, indicating its role in auxin pathway regulation.

This retrospective study found that serum hormone levels and MRI detection of ovarian nodules contributed to distinguishing virilizing ovarian tumors from ovarian stromal hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women, though histopathology remains crucial for diagnosis.

This study reported that sunscreen with SPF50+ provides a high level of DNA protection against UV-induced damage in a reconstituted human epidermis model, comparable to that in skin explants.

This literature review reported that fractional lasers, like the 1550-nm nonablative erbium-glass laser, may enhance hair regrowth by stimulating a wound healing process, but more randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm their effectiveness and optimize treatment parameters.

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 drying finasteride solvates at 85 °C for one day produced a metastable anhydrous form.

This review discusses recent therapeutic advances in treating various types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, frontal fibrosing alopecia, and hair transplant technologies, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the characteristics and challenges in treating Cronkhite–Canada syndrome but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for better understanding and uniform treatment approaches.

This article discusses the social and psychological impact of hair disorders and the challenges in their treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that obesity in PCOS women with biochemical hyperandrogenemia lowers androstenedione levels and increases the testosterone to androstenedione ratio, but this was not observed in women with clinical hyperandrogenemia or in controls.

This systematic review found inconclusive evidence on the effectiveness of botulinum toxin for treating alopecia and highlighted the need for further prospective randomized controlled trials.

In this animal study, topical diazoxide treatment led to increased hair thickness and follicle growth in bald stumptailed macaques without causing notable systemic side effects.
