This study found that both Th1 and Th2 cytokine markers were elevated in the serum and skin of patients with alopecia areata, with Th2 markers more closely linked to disease severity.

This study found that activation of the transcription factor Nrf2 in keratinocytes promotes wound healing in mice by expanding hair follicle stem cells, independent of changes in keratinocyte proliferation or migration.

In this study, topical tofacitinib significantly promoted hair regrowth in mice, outpacing both minoxidil and controls over 21 days, with findings suggesting increased VEGF levels and decreased inflammation as possible mechanisms.

This study found that administering an alcoholic extract of Mentha spicata leaves significantly reduced testosterone levels and aggressive behavior in female rats with elevated testosterone, suggesting its potential protective role against such symptoms.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's skin-related conditions like acne, hirsutism, and female pattern hair loss, noting the lack of dermatology guidelines for when to pursue endocrinologic evaluation.

Tofacitinib, an arthritis drug, helped hair growth in alopecia universalis but long-term safety needs more research.

This case report describes a 67-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and her daughter with lichen planopilaris, noting identical HLA D types which suggest a phenotypical link between these conditions.

This study discusses the role of physicians and pharmaceutical companies as entrepreneurial actors in off-label drug use, arguing they may advance patient care more quickly than regulatory agencies.

This review discusses the formation and structure of the cornified cell envelope in the epidermis, highlighting biochemical pathways and genetic factors, but presents no new experimental results.

This study found that keratin-75, discovered in enamel tissue, is secreted by ameloblasts using an unconventional pathway involving the ER-Golgi-Intermediate-Compartment and Golgi, differing from typical cytokeratin localization.

This review discusses various stem cell compartments in adult murine and human epidermis, examining their expressed markers and characterization assays, and reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers found that exposure to PM10 significantly increased inflammation and impaired collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblasts, suggesting PM10 contributes to skin aging through these mechanisms.

This study identified thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) as a stimulant of wound healing in both frog and human skin models, suggesting it as a potential neuroendocrine wound repair promoter.

This review discusses the role of complement activation in SLE and suggests that while monitoring C3 and C4 remains important, increased levels of cell-bound complement activation products may better indicate disease activity.

This study found that in androgenetic alopecia, reduced stem cell factor production by dermal papilla cells may lead to decreased pigmentation in hair follicles.

In this study, transgenic male mice over-expressing the androgen receptor in mesenchymal stem cells showed reduced fat mass and improved glucose clearance, suggesting enhanced androgen sensitivity may alter body composition.

This article reviews the complexity and diverse manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting potential genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors in its pathogenesis without presenting new clinical findings.

This study demonstrates that incorporating human neopapilla into reconstructed human skin can initiate hair follicle morphogenesis by stimulating epidermal invagination and maintaining follicle-inductive properties in vitro.

This study found that testosterone treatment in older hypogonadal men caused minor improvements in depressive symptoms and visuospatial memory, but overall, major cognitive benefits were not observed.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that in a mouse model, the stimulation of mammary tumor growth due to progesterone is primarily caused by its metabolite, 5αP, not progesterone itself.

This review discusses the potential benefits of phytochemicals for hair care and emphasizes the need for more robust preclinical and clinical studies, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that serum irisin levels were significantly lower in patients with acne vulgaris compared to healthy controls and were negatively correlated with insulin resistance and disease severity.

This study found that protein arginine methylation levels in human hair may correlate with a cardiovascular biomarker in blood, suggesting hair sampling as a potential non-invasive method for cardiovascular risk assessment.

This study found that LC-MS/MS is a more reliable method than immunoassays for measuring serum 17OHP and androgen levels in women with hyperandrogenism.

In this study, 150 kHz electromagnetic radiation reduced the number and size of follicular cysts in a rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome without causing significant morphological damage to developing follicles.

Mercury allergy linked to specific genes may contribute to burning mouth syndrome, and silicon might play a role in maintaining healthy hair.

This study found that Ficus carica extract enhanced fertility markers, including hormone levels and reproductive organ activity, in rats of both sexes, suggesting potential benefits for managing fertility issues.

This article discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic approach for immune-mediated central nervous system diseases but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that renin and d-dimer levels were significantly higher in PCOS patients, particularly those also infected with COVID-19, compared to non-PCOS women.

This study found no significant link between iron metabolism, including serum ferritin and hemoglobin levels, and telogen effluvium in women under 40 years old.
