This mini-review discusses human hair follicle development and summarizes genetic disorders linked to abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, structure, or regeneration, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that Eda and activin A regulate Foxi3 expression, which may contribute to the development of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia by affecting Foxi3 activity in ectodermal appendages like hair and teeth.

This review discusses diagnostic and treatment considerations for women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, noting therapeutic options are more effective for hirsutism and acne than for androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that the AGA risk haplotype in Europeans was driven to high frequency by positive selection, likely associated with a variant in the EDA2R gene.

In this study, socially defeated mice showed increased alcohol consumption, and CRF-R1 antagonism selectively reduced drinking in these mice, suggesting a potential treatment target for stress-related alcohol use disorders.

This study found that serum vaspin levels were elevated in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to controls, but treatment with metformin or weight loss did not significantly change these levels.

This article discusses the application and considerations of bariatric surgery for adolescents with severe obesity, highlighting the need for specialized programs but reporting no new clinical results.

This study introduces MicrobeFDT, a tool that clusters chemically similar compounds and links them to gut microbial enzymes and toxicities, demonstrating its utility by uncovering previously unknown metabolism of the cancer drug altretamine.

This study reported that MRI-based ovarian morphology shows significant overlap between PCOS cases and controls, highlighting the need to consider clinical and biochemical data alongside imaging findings for PCOS diagnosis.

This study found that fibromodulin significantly reduces scar formation and boosts scar strength in rodent and porcine models, suggesting potential for FMOD-based therapies in cutaneous wound repair.

This review found that 5α-reductase inhibitors are associated with slightly increased rates of sexual dysfunction, gynecomastia, and mood disorders, but the true significance and persistence of these effects remain unclear.

This review found evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of topical minoxidil for treating female pattern hair loss, though many included studies were at high risk of bias.

This review discusses the current understanding of androgen biosynthesis, mechanisms of action, and their roles in human biology, as well as related congenital and acquired disorders, but it reports no new research findings.

Minoxidil improves blood flow and vessel flexibility, potentially helping with vascular stiffness.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and physiological regulation of neuroactive steroids, focusing on their varied responses to stress and ethanol in rats, mice, and humans, but it reports no new findings.

This article reviews the role of polarity proteins in epidermal morphogenesis and homeostasis and discusses how their alteration may contribute to skin disease, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study reported that in rat retinas under high pressure, allopregnanolone synthesis increased and helped reduce pressure-induced damage through GABAA receptors, suggesting potential therapeutic use in glaucoma.

This review discusses cutaneous adverse effects of psychotropic medications and reports no new findings, emphasizing the importance of psychiatrists being aware of these potential skin reactions.

This meta-analysis reported that platelet-rich plasma injections for androgenetic alopecia may increase hair number and thickness locally, but further studies are needed to establish their overall effectiveness.

This study found that the transcription factor Gata6 plays a crucial role in adult mouse hair follicle regeneration by promoting the renewal and preventing DNA damage of rapidly proliferating progenitor cells.

This paper reviews diffuse androgen-dependent alopecia and chronic telogen effluvium in women, highlighting diagnostic challenges and management issues, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors suggest effective treatments are available.

This study identified four new genetic loci associated with acne risk and highlighted key pathways involved in its genetic predisposition, potentially explaining 9.4% of acne's phenotypic variance.

This review discusses the complex links between polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance, and potential metabolic risks starting in adolescence, noting the need for early screening and treatment but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that glutathione deficiency affects lateral root and root hair responses to indole butyric acid in plants, but not to indole acetic acid, indicating its role in auxin pathway regulation.

This study found that altering neonatal neurosteroid levels affected anxiety and aversive learning in adult rats, possibly through changes in hippocampal GABAergic functions.

This review discusses major advances in understanding inherited hair diseases through genetic research and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the potential for new preventive and therapeutic tools.

This study identified and characterized several long noncoding RNAs in Cashmere goats, revealing complex regulatory roles in hair follicle development and growth, particularly within the Wnt signaling pathway.

This review suggests that PRP injections may be effective in promoting hair regrowth, reducing hair loss, and increasing hair thickness in patients with androgenic alopecia.

This study found that applying topical imiquimod during mid and late telogen in mice activates hair follicle stem cells and influences immune cell infiltration, promoting hair cycle entry independently of Wnt signaling.

This review reports that women with polycystic ovary syndrome are at 28%–50% higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, with increased rates of COVID-19-related hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality.
