This case report describes two patients with a likely new type of pachyonychia, characterized by nail thickening and severe generalized hypotrichosis, possibly linked to a mutation in a hard keratin.

This updated guidance from the GRADE working group addresses issues with assessing inconsistency in treatment effect estimates and evaluating the credibility of effect modifiers in systematic reviews.

This article discusses the importance of optimizing treatment protocols for chemotherapy-induced alopecia and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

This review found that hair antiretroviral concentration may be associated with several factors, including hair type and genetic factors, but not with race/ethnicity or alcohol use.

This article discusses the challenges and considerations in drug repurposing, particularly the importance of dose finding studies when adapting drugs for new indications, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that using a recombinant adenoassociated virus to induce survivin expression protected normal tissues from radiation damage in mice, reducing side effects compared to controls.

This study found that treatment with cyproterone acetate was generally successful for women with virilizing features, showing improved results in younger women and those with adrenal hirsutism, despite some side effects.

This review highlights recent advances in personalized transdermal drug delivery systems, noting their potential for improved treatment efficacy and safety, but identifies significant challenges in clinical translation.

This study identified ten key magistral dermatological formulations, such as personalized trichological preparations and Kligman’s formula, which fill critical gaps unmet by standardized products, particularly in cases like pediatric scabies or autoimmune mucosal diseases, illustrating the role of compounding in precision medicine.

In this study, the novel topical agent PP405 showed favorable tolerability and increased hair density by over 20% in men with advanced androgenetic alopecia after eight weeks, suggesting a promising potential treatment pending further trials.

This study identified that the ethanol extract of Selaginella doederleinii may enhance the effectiveness of doxorubicin in treating cervical cancer cells while also providing chemopreventive benefits.

In this study, researchers used an integrated in silico approach to demonstrate that Polygonum multiflorum combats androgenetic alopecia via anthraquinone emodin, which targets PI3K catalytic subunits differently from traditional antiandrogenic treatments, showing potential as a novel therapeutic strategy.

This review examines the pathophysiology of PCOS and reports that myoinositol may improve menstrual regularity, insulin sensitivity, and reproductive outcomes, with comparable efficacy to metformin and often better tolerability.

This review discusses recent advances in using extracellular vesicles as a potential treatment for alopecia and highlights ongoing challenges in their clinical application and mass production; no new clinical results are reported.

This study formulated and characterized a dutasteride-loaded nanocrystalline suspension for long-acting parenteral delivery, finding that it provided sustained drug release in rats with a significant reduction in local inflammation over 28 days following intramuscular injection.

In this study, the researchers found that measuring tacrolimus levels in scalp hair could be a reliable method for monitoring drug exposure in kidney transplant recipients, offering an alternative to frequent blood tests by utilizing self-collected hair samples.

This review discusses the use of spinal fMRI to investigate the brainstem and spinal cord and highlights its potential for understanding functional integration, but it reports no new experimental results.

The committee unanimously voted against recommending approval of the injectable cisplatin/epinephrine gel IntraDose for certain head and neck cancer patients, citing insufficient clinical benefit and concerns about toxicity in this study.

In this systematic review, researchers found that injectable therapies, including agents like dutasteride and multivitamin formulations, may offer cosmetic benefits for androgenetic alopecia; however, evidence is limited by small study sizes, varied methods, and short follow-up periods, necessitating standardized trials for routine use recommendations.

This review reports that collagen peptides consistently provide modest improvements in skin hydration and elasticity and varying benefits for body composition and cardiometabolic markers, although effects on blood sugar control are less consistent; variations in source, dose, and study definitions limit generalizability.

This review reports that collagen peptides provide consistent, modest benefits for skin hydration and elasticity, with variable effects on body composition and cardiometabolic risk markers, though some outcomes remain inconsistent due to trial heterogeneity.

This study found that steroid hormone levels in human hair correlate significantly with those in serum, suggesting hair may be a viable medium for assessing hormonal status.

This study suggests that epitestosterone may play a role in regulating androgen-dependent processes like prostate growth and body hair distribution by counteracting testosterone's actions.

In this study, COC treatment led to greater improvements in sex hormone, endocrine factor, and metabolic levels among PCOS patients compared to those who did not receive the treatment.
