This study reports that C3H/HeJ mice and DEBR rats serve as effective models for screening potential treatments for human alopecia areata, despite certain challenges in predictability and cost.

This study suggests the existence of a new subtype of alopecia, called 'acute diffuse and total alopecia of the female scalp (ADTAFS)', characterized by acute, diffuse hair loss primarily in women and a rapid recovery.

This paper discusses the variability in COVID-19 susceptibility and severity, emphasizing factors like biological differences and suggesting potential precision medicine approaches, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the relationship between SHBG, NAFLD, and PCOS and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight low hepatic SHBG production as potentially significant in PCOS pathogenesis.

This study found that activating Nrf2 in human hair follicles significantly reduced oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and protected against hair growth inhibition, suggesting a protective role for Nrf2 against redox insult in this context.

This study suggests that finasteride-loaded liquid crystalline nanoparticles could be a viable alternative to oral administration for treating androgenetic alopecia due to their controlled release and skin permeation properties.

This review discusses recent advances in using nanocarrier-loaded gels for various medical applications and reports no new clinical results, highlighting potential advantages in therapeutic strategies.

This study found that cyclosporin A treatment enhances hair growth in mice by inhibiting calcineurin-NFAT1 activity, which alters keratinocyte differentiation and apoptosis-related gene expression in hair follicles.

This study reported that Malassezia-associated dermatitis can cause pruritus in cats with feline paraneoplastic alopecia.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's skin-related conditions like acne, hirsutism, and female pattern hair loss, noting the lack of dermatology guidelines for when to pursue endocrinologic evaluation.

This review discusses the genetics and variable phenotypic expression of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and reports no new clinical results; the authors call for further research on long-term health impacts and treatment strategies.

This review discusses the complex interaction between androgens and hair follicle biology, highlighting the need for a better understanding to improve hirsutism treatments, but reports no new results.

This review discusses recent advances in scarless wound healing, focusing on strategies to create pro-regenerative scaffolds for repairing damaged skin, and reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the interactions between keratinocytes and melanocytes in maintaining epidermal and hair follicle homeostasis, without reporting new experimental results.

This review explores the impact of various medications on male fertility, highlighting reversible negative effects from methotrexate, finasteride, and ketoconazole, while reporting no adverse fertility effects for oral retinoids and certain immunosuppressants.

This review describes the variety of mucocutaneous side effects caused by antineoplastic chemotherapy, with emphasis on skin, nails, and mucous membranes, while highlighting potential severity and the possibility of needing to adjust or interrupt treatment in rare cases; it presents no new clinical results.

This review examines the physiological role of androgen conjugates in cutaneous androgen metabolism and questions their association with hirsutism, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review discusses the origins of skin and esophageal cancers and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes the role of cyclooxygenase-2 in tumorigenesis and differentiation.

This review discusses 46,XY disorders of sex development caused by defects in androgen production and highlights the need for long-term care from experienced multidisciplinary teams, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a patient with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome experiencing female pattern hair loss, suggesting that factors beyond direct androgen action may contribute to this condition in women.

This review discusses the potential of targeting glucocorticoid action as a treatment strategy for obesity and type-2 diabetes, highlighting promising animal study results but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses strategies to enhance mesenchymal stem cell therapy effectiveness but reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for improved consistency and efficacy in MSC-based treatments.

The study found that severe insulin resistance and premature diabetes are common in patients with PCNT genetic defects, primarily affecting those over four years old, while not impacting early insulin signaling in adipocytes.

This study suggests that Malassezia spp. overgrowth may contribute to pruritus and skin lesions in allergic cats, with antifungal treatments alone providing substantial improvements.

This study identified LY191704 as a specific noncompetitive inhibitor of human 5 alpha-reductase type 1, which may be useful in treating endocrine disorders related to DHT overproduction.

This review highlights that idiopathic hirsutism is characterized by local hyperandrogenization affecting hair growth, without other signs of hyperandrogenism, and shows no new results; racial differences in prevalence are noted but not in androgenic steroids.

This review presents updated tables of mouse mutants with hair growth abnormalities to aid in understanding the molecular mechanisms of human hair disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that 62% of neutered dogs with hair cycle arrest experienced partial to complete hair re-growth after melatonin treatment, but hair re-growth was not consistently linked to normal sex hormone levels.

This review concludes that antiandrogens with ovarian suppression may significantly improve hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia in women with PCOS, but treatment needs to continue unless the underlying PCOS cause is addressed.

In this study of reproductive-aged women in Tehran, idiopathic hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome were reported to be prevalent, with rates influenced by the screening methods used.
