This study suggests a weak association between male-pattern baldness and some coronary heart disease risk factors, but does not support it as a strong indicator of coronary risk.

This content only provides information about the JAMA Dermatology publication platform and reports no research results.

This study reported that using photomnemonics facilitated accurate histopathologic interpretation of horizontal scalp sections in distinguishing between nonscarring and scarring alopecias by dermatopathologists and residents in a validation test.

Older adults still engage in sexual activities but face challenges like health issues and lack of professional support, highlighting the need for better healthcare provider education and research on sexual fulfillment in old age.

This review discusses various applications of CRISPR-based tools in cancer research, emphasizing their potential for investigating microRNA functions and developing microRNA-based therapies, despite challenges like off-target effects and delivery issues in using CRISPR/Cas9.

This study identified a novel homozygous EDNRA variant linked to Oro-Oto-Cardiac Syndrome and showed that EDNRA signaling is essential for normal craniofacial and cardiovascular development.

This study found that among MtF transgender individuals, those with early-onset gender dysphoria exhibited differences in age at surgery, sexual orientation, and sexual activity compared to those with later-onset dysphoria.

This study found that wild geladas in Ethiopian crop areas experienced higher levels of human disturbance and health issues, such as increased parasitic infections, compared to those in pasture areas.

This study found a significant reduction in the number and size of sebaceous glands in psoriatic skin lesions, indicating potential involvement in psoriatic alopecia.

This study used ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography to observe hair shaft structures, finding melanin granules absent only in white hair, which may explain color differences between black and white hair.

This review discusses the etiology and clinical findings of atypical hyperadrenocorticism in dogs due to sex steroid imbalance and explores various treatment options, but reports no new results.

This review discusses the role of fibroblast heterogeneity in kidney pathology, particularly their contribution to tertiary lymphoid tissue formation, and reports no new results.

This study suggests that human evolution involved accelerated changes in the HR gene, affecting its role in mediating postnatal hair cycling.

Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.

This study examined the genetic basis for the curly hair trait in Mangalitza pigs, finding two specific genetic variants that contribute to this distinctive phenotype through autosomal dominant inheritance.

This study found differences in urinary androgen and estrogen concentrations between male pattern baldness patients treated with finasteride and healthy controls, suggesting potential biomarkers for post-finasteride syndrome.

This study highlights the importance of clinicians understanding the effects of gender-affirming hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and antiandrogens on hair growth, to effectively diagnose and treat androgenetic alopecia in gender minority patients.

Women pay more for the same 5% minoxidil foam than men, but prices for liquid solutions are similar.

The study concluded that serum AMH is a useful tool for diagnosing polycystic ovarian morphology in women with persistent acne, potentially replacing transvaginal ultrasound, though it does not correlate with hyperandrogenemia.

Researchers translated and validated the WAA-QoL questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese, finding it to be a reliable tool for assessing quality of life in women with female pattern hair loss.

This study suggests that sebum samples can be effectively stored and transported with less stringent requirements than liquid samples, making them suitable for remote or at-home collection before clinical analysis.

This study identified key lipid differences between black and white hair in individuals with premature greying, highlighting vitamin D3 as a potential target for further research in understanding this condition.

This study found that in PCOS patients, variations in the lipin 1 gene, particularly the intron 1 SNP, may protect against insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, highlighting a potential genetic factor in the disorder's cardiometabolic complications.

This study found that using XGBoost with clinical and ultrasound features may provide a highly accurate, non-invasive method for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome, although further validation is needed to ensure robustness.

In this study, researchers found that the glabrous skin of the rat forelimb contains sparse Meissner corpuscles and Merkel complexes, with more slowly adapting afferents in the palm and rapidly adapting afferents in the digit extremity.

This study observed that testosterone therapy in transgender men enhances both physical and mental health, is safe in the short and middle term with proper follow-up, and highlights the need for endocrinologists to provide gender-affirming care despite its limited presence in medical education.

This study found that chronic stress may inhibit hair follicle growth and melanogenesis in mice through modulation of the central HPA axis, with C57BL/6 mice appearing most sensitive to these effects.

This case report highlights a 17-year-old girl with overlapping features of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and systemic lupus erythematosus, emphasizing the critical importance of early diagnosis and intensive therapy including plasma exchange.

This study found that by using an automated system to analyze skin histology, 108 structural features were significantly affected by age, and it identified four new aging biomarkers and notable sex-based differences in skin aging.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.
