This study found that among men with serum testosterone levels below 3.33 ng/mL, the prevalence of kidney stones was significantly higher, independent of other metabolic factors.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia in men is associated with significant psychological distress and moderate depression, suggesting a possible link between raised dihydrotestosterone levels and mental health issues.

In this study, Saudi Arabian adults experienced high rates of long-term complications and significant weight regain more than 5 years after bariatric surgery, emphasizing the need for ongoing follow-up and nutritional management to address these issues.

This systematic review suggests that current evidence does not support routinely discontinuing gender-affirming hormone treatments before surgery, especially testosterone and spironolactone, due to limited data on related perioperative risks.

This review discusses the limitations of current hair classification systems and highlights the need for standardized reporting of key hair characteristics to improve study comparisons; it reports no new results.

This study found that a novel cross-linked hyaluronic acid dermal filler is safe and effective for improving lip enhancement, cheekbone augmentation, and nasolabial folds across different skin types, with significant improvements in wrinkle severity and overall facial aesthetics observed.

This review examines the interconnected roles of bone, adipose tissue, and the central nervous system in regulating energy balance, providing no new experimental results.

This study examined developing hair cortex with electron microscopy and found that keratin fibrils form between specific regions in hair follicles and aggregate into twisted cables.

This review discusses gender identity disorder in Japan, highlighting the high prevalence and challenges in accessing appropriate treatment, and calls for wider understanding among medical professionals.

This chapter reviews the presence and roles of stem cells in various body systems, focusing on their lifelong function in animals and humans, and reports no new experimental findings.

Specific cross-linkages help make hair proteins stable and strong.

This study demonstrates that spatially resolved IR and Raman imaging can effectively reveal the molecular structure and composition of untreated human hair, providing insights into its chemistry and structural integrity.

This study described cases of alopecia areata occurring after COVID-19 vaccination and highlights management using both topical and systemic therapies.

In a study using a mouse model of diabetes, chitosan-based hydrogels increased healing markers and improved wound closure and tissue repair compared to untreated wounds, but human efficacy needs further validation.

This study found that deleting the vitamin D receptor from specific stem cells in mouse hair follicles disrupts their ability to regenerate the epidermis after injury, suggesting an essential interaction with the transcription factor p63.

This study found that uric acid-linked microvascular dysfunction may play a role in alopecia areata, suggesting that targeting endothelial function and uric acid regulation could be a potential management strategy.

Patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia may have a higher risk of breast and colorectal cancer.

This study suggests that managing sleep disorders, particularly those involving difficulty initiating sleep, may benefit from dietary interventions that reduce proinflammatory nutrients and increase anti-inflammatory nutrients.

This review explores plant-derived exosomes as promising alternatives to synthetic wound-healing agents due to their ability to regulate signaling pathways involved in skin repair, while also addressing challenges in their clinical application.

In this study, researchers found that among 7,761 patients with androgenetic alopecia, behaviors such as insufficient sleep, poor dietary habits, alcohol consumption, heavy physical labor, and specific hairstyling choices were associated with increased severity of hair loss.

This study at Al Hussein hospital identified retrograde alopecia in 50 out of 1,000 patients with severe androgenetic alopecia, emphasizing the need to thoroughly examine and exclude affected hair when assessing donor areas for hair transplantation.

This study observed that dermatological and hair changes, like skin sagging and hair shedding, commonly occur early during weight loss with GLP-1 receptor agonists, highlighting the need for tailored dermatological care alongside treatment.

This study found that small proline-rich proteins modify the biomechanical properties of cornified cell envelopes in rodent forestomachs, potentially affecting the tissue's ability to withstand mechanical stress.

This study suggests that TGase 3 may contribute to hair fiber scaffolding by forming specific isopeptide bonds between keratin intermediate filaments and keratin-associated proteins.
