This commentary highlights that transgender patients are often dissatisfied with standard hormone replacement therapy for hair-related goals, emphasizing the need for dermatologists to provide informed guidance and tailor treatments.

This study found that after application of a testosterone cream containing 17α-methyltestosterone and testosterone propionate, these compounds could be detected in dried blood spots up to 97 hours post-application, potentially leading to sample contamination during fingertip puncture.

This meeting underscored that hair testing is a crucial and evolving area in forensic and toxicological science, emphasizing advancements in analytical methods and its importance in public health and legal medicine.

This study identifies the PI4P-RHD4 module as a key regulator of GET pathway receptor dynamics in Arabidopsis, affecting TA protein insertion and root hair growth.

This study found that WD-aptamer increased β-catenin expression and promoted human hair follicle dermal papilla cell proliferation by interfering with the CXXC5-Dvl1 interaction in the Wnt signaling pathway.

This study found that deleting β-catenin in epidermis-specific VDR knockout mice did not prevent UVB-induced skin tumors, indicating β-catenin does not compensate for VDR's role in tumor suppression.

This report presents the Taiwanese Dermatological Association's 2016 consensus on defining and managing skin toxicities from EGFR-TKI treatments, providing comprehensive guidelines for clinicians in Taiwan.

This study found that the proteins GDNF, NTN, GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and c-Ret are differentially expressed during various stages of the human hair follicle cycle, with potential implications for hair biology.

This study found that genetic ablation of Tet genes in mice led to changes in hair structure and keratin gene expression, indicating a role for Tet-mediated 5hmC DNA oxidation in hair follicle development and cycling.

This study found that anionic HSES achieved high complexation efficiencies with various steroids, significantly enhancing their solubility, while specific β-cyclodextrin thioethers showed selective binding to testosterone and estradiol.

This study reports that hair transplantation using follicular unit extraction and direct hair implantation can effectively restore scalp hair in post-burn alopecia, achieving natural hair direction and satisfactory growth density.

Hairless protein helps control hair growth by regulating vitamin D receptor activity.

This study demonstrated that cryogelation of human hair keratin allows the development of 3D scaffolds with tunable properties, supporting cell adhesion and proliferation for potential biomedical applications.

In this cross-sectional study, researchers observed that patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, particularly women, had lower 2D:4D finger length ratios compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential link to prenatal androgen exposure and disease severity, though further prospective research is needed to confirm this hormonal impact.

Vitamin D receptor is key to hair growth, not vitamin D itself.

This study suggests that Aldactone may be more effective than Diane in reducing hair growth, despite having minimal impact on hormone levels.

This review discusses consumers' positive attitudes towards direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising, highlighting its impact on patient engagement despite physicians' mixed opinions on its influence on the doctor-patient relationship.

The researchers reported that the rat Hershberger assay reliably detected endocrine-disrupting effects of finasteride, procymidone, and 17α-methyltestosterone, validating the assay's sensitivity for identifying hormonal activity.

This study suggests that promoting HIF-1a expression in dermal papilla cells could enhance trichogenic gene expression, offering a potential therapeutic target for hair loss treatment.

In this study, OCT showed strong nuclear binding in certain skin cells, suggesting similar genomic effects to vitamin D with potential therapeutic benefits due to its lower calcaemic effect.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone affects hair follicles but doesn't change hair growth or color.

In this study, Diane treatment in women with androgenetic alopecia led to normalization of hormone levels and improved hair condition, including less greasiness and reduced hair loss.

This study suggests that male pattern baldness is primarily caused by heat stress in the brain rather than DHT toxicity, and personal experiments with menthol cooling have shown significant reduction in hair loss.

In this study, the researchers found that the water-soluble fraction of Rhus semialata gall extract and its component Penta-O-Galloyl-β-D-Glucose promoted hair growth in human dermal papilla cells, and clinical trials supported these findings, showing improved hair density and appearance compared to placebo.

This study found that a novel thiohydantoin derivative, 3a, effectively inhibited androgen receptor activity in LNCaP cells and showed promising in vivo results by reducing testosterone-induced prostate changes, outperforming finasteride in mitigating prostate index and histopathological alterations.

In this study, hirsute women with normal or medically normalized testosterone levels experienced similar, though declining, hair reduction from both intense pulsed light and long-pulsed diode laser treatments over six months.

This case report describes a 4-year-old girl with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, linked to mutations in the cadherin 3 gene affecting P-cadherin expression.
