In this study, researchers found that inhibiting inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) promoted hair growth in diabetic mice, suggesting iNOS-derived nitric oxide contributes to hair loss under diabetic inflammatory conditions.

This study established that a human epidermal model can be utilized to assess 5alpha-reductase activity and evaluate enzyme modulators, such as finasteride, for dermatological applications.

This study suggests that higher PDCD4 expression may play a significant role in polycystic ovary syndrome pathogenesis through its association with obesity, insulin resistance, lipid metabolism disorders, and increased granulosa cell apoptosis.

This study found that the retinoid all-trans retinoic acid induced a catagen-like stage in human scalp hair follicles, suggesting upregulation of TGF-beta2 as a contributing mechanism.

This study found that the absence of the vitamin D receptor disrupts hair follicle structure during the first catagen in mice, linked to increased expression of the hairless gene.

This study found that basal cell carcinomas show strong expression of vitamin D receptors at both mRNA and protein levels, suggesting a potential role in tumor growth regulation.

This study created a humanized mouse model of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets that lacks alopecia, indicating the mutant receptor's potential to explore the syndrome's characteristics beyond vitamin D binding.

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.

This review compiles data on how the apelinergic system may protect against heart damage caused by doxorubicin cancer treatment, suggesting its potential to mitigate cardiotoxicity, though further research in chronic models is needed to confirm these effects and mechanisms.

The congress highlighted new gene therapy techniques and cell transplantation methods for treating diseases.

This study reports that cutaneous manifestations such as herpes zoster, purpura, and livedo reticularis in COVID-19 patients can potentially indicate disease severity, aiding in the prediction of the illness's progression and guiding dermatological management during the pandemic.

This study identified female sex and specific radiological findings as risk factors for chronic post-COVID syndrome, while long-term use of angiotensin-2 receptor blockers was linked to fewer chronic symptoms.

This animal study found that finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor, decreased dihydrotestosterone levels and c-Fos protein activation in the rat brain, but these effects may diminish after discontinuing the drug.

This study found that lower GPX4 mRNA levels in polymorphonuclear neutrophils of systemic lupus erythematosus patients were negatively associated with disease activity and serological markers, suggesting a diagnostic value for GPX4 mRNA.

This study found that obesity in women may impair endometrial stromal function and contribute to reproductive complications, possibly due to metabolic influences rather than immune cell differences.

This study found that long-term exposure to sodium valproate can increase oxidative stress and inflammation in rat stomach tissues, while treatment with rutin, a natural antioxidant, was associated with reduced markers of these effects at dosages of 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg.

This review details the expression and diverse functions of melatonin receptors in non-neural tissues and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing their potential as therapeutic targets across various physiological and pathological processes.

In this study, T3 and T4 were found to directly influence human hair follicles in vitro, enhancing keratinocyte proliferation, prolonging the hair growth phase, and affecting pigmentation.

This study identifies six novel keratin genes from the chromosome 17q21.2 region, suggesting their association with hair follicles, while all 27 keratin genes in the domain have been characterized transcriptionally.

This chapter reviews the role of androgen receptors in mediating the actions of androgens in specific tissues and provides no new experimental findings.

This study suggests that finasteride treatment in male rats can lead to changes in liver carbohydrate metabolism and may result in metabolic disruptions and liver steatosis in their offspring.

In this study, topical application of Cyclosporin A on mice skin induced hair growth by transitioning follicles from telogen to anagen, but no effect was observed on cultured human hair follicles.

In a hamster model of COVID-19, this study observed that both low and high doses of testosterone worsened illness in males, while finasteride prevented severe outcomes.

In this study, cashmere goats engineered to overexpress the Tβ4 gene in hair follicles produced more cashmere, indicating that Tβ4 promotes secondary hair follicle development and enhances yield.

This study found that RCS-01 cell therapy for aged skin was well tolerated and associated with increased gene expression related to extracellular matrix homeostasis, suggesting potential skin improvement.

This study suggests that extracellular vesicles from prostate cancer cells could aid in identifying tumor heterogeneity and serve as biomarkers, while also playing a role in SARS-CoV-2 infection in nasopharyngeal mucus.

This study found that UVB irradiation alters skin stem cell niches leading to signs of photoaging, which may be reversed by adipose-derived stem cells through BMP4 pathway modulation and niche remodeling.

This study observed that adipose-derived stem cells modified with trichogenic factors have similar properties to dermal papilla cells and show enhanced hair regeneration potential compared to unmodified adipose-derived stem cells.

This article reviews how aging affects skin and stem cells, but it contains no new research findings.

This paper reviews the role of the telomere-telomerase system in cellular ageing and cancer, discussing potential therapies but reporting no new experimental results.
