This study found that Sonic Hedgehog secreted by hair follicle transit-amplifying cells is essential for dermal adipogenesis and hair follicle growth by acting on adipocyte precursors.

In this study, transgender adolescents treated with testosterone for a median of 12 months experienced effective virilization, including voice deepening and increased hair growth, but also showed decreased HDL cholesterol and BMD z-scores, and increased hematocrit, with no short-term safety issues reported.

This paper highlights the need for a comprehensive red ginseng monograph to provide standardized information on its components, certified functionality, efficacy, action mechanisms, and safety, especially given its widespread use as a health functional food in South Korea and interest in its benefits worldwide.

This study found that endocrine therapy for breast cancer is associated with a pattern of hair loss similar to androgenetic alopecia, negatively impacting quality of life despite mild severity.

This review discusses the complex causes and treatment challenges of chronic inflammatory skin diseases, emphasizing the need for biomarkers to predict treatment responses; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the roles and therapeutic effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists on the nervous, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems, but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need for further research on their impact on metabolism and tumor relationships in type 2 diabetes patients.

This review discusses the multiple layers of environmental controls on hair stem cell homeostasis and suggests that targeting these layers could offer safer regenerative medicine therapies without directly using stem cells.

Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

This study found that hirsutism and acanthosis nigricans are the most reliable skin markers for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome in women and suggest a need for further evaluation of possible metabolic issues.

This study found that participant self-assessments suggested greater improvement in the texture and wrinkles of facial skin treated with PRP compared to normal saline, though dermatologist ratings showed no significant difference.

In this study, ketoconazole treatment improved acne in all women and reduced hirsutism in some, but it caused several side effects and requires careful monitoring.

This study reports that clinical trials of finasteride for androgenic alopecia provide insufficient and systematically biased safety data, with most participants unrepresentative of those in pivotal trials that led to FDA approval.

This study suggests that androgen receptor gene CAG repeat length may influence serum free testosterone levels in some PCOS patients, with longer repeats associated with higher testosterone concentrations.

Tofacitinib citrate improved nail dystrophy and pain in patients with alopecia universalis without causing side effects.

This study found an association between a splice site variant in the KRT71 gene and curly hair in Selkirk Rex cats, identifying a significant locus on chromosome B4.

This study found a bidirectional relationship between major depressive disorder and alopecia areata, with each condition significantly increasing the risk of subsequently developing the other.

In this retrospective study, cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was found to be generally safe and led to mild feminizing effects, with more rapid feminization occurring when combined with estrogens.

This study found that a low dose of flutamide, both alone and combined with an oral contraceptive, effectively reduced hirsutism in women, with the combination showing more lasting effects post-treatment.

In this study, several compounds, including estrogen and Dutasteride, showed neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic neurons in an MPTP mouse model of Parkinson's disease.

This study found that the receptor kinase RHS10 negatively regulates root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana by modulating growth duration and is associated with cell wall signal mediation, involving RNA catabolism and ROS accumulation.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes A and B had the highest prevalence of metabolic syndrome, and that the visceral adiposity index may help predict metabolic risk.

This study produced a high-coverage genome of the Tyrolean Iceman, revealing no Steppe-related ancestry but significant Anatolian-farmer-related ancestry, and found genetic markers associated with darker skin, male-pattern baldness, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, aligning with observations of his mummified body.
