This study concluded that administering dutasteride for more than 8 weeks in rats could lead to irreversible erectile dysfunction, even after stopping the medication.

This study found that inhibiting AP1 transcription factor activity in the suprabasal epidermis of mice alters keratinocyte gene expression, reducing barrier integrity and mimicking human keratoderma.

This article discusses the characteristics and potential consequences of polycystic ovarian syndrome, including its effects on fertility and risk for other health conditions, but it reports no new findings.

In this study, researchers discovered that ROR2, a Wnt receptor, plays a crucial role in regulating hair follicle stem cell self-renewal and maintenance, compensating for the absence of β-catenin.

This study found that health-related quality of life was significantly lower in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, especially those with the anovulatory phenotype, compared to non-PCOS controls attending a tertiary hospital.

This study found that type 2 diabetes was associated with a higher risk of severe central scalp hair loss in African American women.

This study hypothesizes that a mummified 19th Century girl in San Francisco died of severe undernourishment potentially due to a bacterial-borne disease, highlighting historical health challenges mitigated by modern sanitation and medicine.

In studying wild meerkats, researchers observed that matriarchs with high androgen levels during late gestation exhibited increased dominance and aggression, affecting both their behavior and their offspring's aggression.

This study suggests platelet-rich plasma may be more effective than other non-surgical treatments for male androgenetic alopecia, while low-level laser therapy ranks highest for women; however, the evidence quality was low.

This article discusses the need for a globally standardized protocol for epidemiologic studies of polycystic ovary syndrome to improve study comparability and public health policy.

This meta-analysis found that patients with androgenetic alopecia have significantly abnormal lipid profiles, which could contribute to the link between this condition and cardiovascular diseases.

This case report describes a patient with breast cancer who developed female androgenetic alopecia after starting tamoxifen therapy.

In this study, researchers used EHR data from two large PCORnet networks to identify a range of long COVID diagnoses, highlighting varying post-acute risks across populations in NYC and Florida.

In this study, frequent use of hair straighteners/relaxers and pressing products was associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, with potential variation in risk by tumor type noted for permanent hair dyes.

This study found that teledermatology has a high accuracy rate of 78% for diagnosing inflammatory dermatoses, supporting its use as a viable patient care option.

This systematic review assessed cyclosporine's effectiveness with or without corticosteroids for treating alopecia areata, finding combined therapy more effective and with a lower recurrence rate than monotherapy, especially for severe cases, though results varied by alopecia type.

This study reported that pulverizing hair samples significantly improves the precision of testosterone measurement, with higher testosterone concentrations observed in men than in women.

This study found that the Chinese version of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Quality of Life Questionnaire (Chi-PCOSQ) is sensitive to clinical changes and effectively assesses health-related quality of life in Chinese women with PCOS.

This review evaluates various biopsy protocols for alopecia diagnosis and discusses the authors' experience with the St John's protocol but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that alkali bromide solutions are absorbed into hair depending on salt activity, and the presence of the salt increases water absorption compared to normal conditions.

In this study, researchers observed that quiescent mouse embryonic fibroblasts showed reduced glycolysis but increased TCA cycle flux and mitochondrial respiration, with these changes linked to metabolic reprogramming involving yes-associated protein inhibition and malate cycle modulation, which supports extracellular matrix protein synthesis.

In this study, researchers developed and tested a gel containing apocynin-loaded nanoparticles that showed promising results in treating rheumatoid arthritis in rats, suggesting potential for novel topical treatments in inflammatory conditions.

This study reviews the epidemiology of alopecia areata in the UK, focusing on its links to mental health comorbidities, autoimmune/atopic associations, and common infection incidences.

This study found that manipulating SIMK expression in alfalfa affects root hair growth, infection thread and nodule formation, and overall plant biomass, highlighting its potential biotechnological applications.

This study found that Blumea eriantha silver nanoparticles promoted hair growth in treated animals, with activity comparable to minoxidil in terms of anagen follicle transition.

In this study, topically applied 2% minoxidil solution was found to be more effective than placebo for promoting hair regrowth in men with early male pattern baldness over 24 weeks.

This review highlights that while sonidegib and vismodegib offer promising treatment options for advanced basal cell carcinoma, their use is often limited by treatment-emergent adverse events, which can be managed through protocol modifications and supportive interventions.

In this study, researchers found that non-invasive analysis of skin surface lipid RNAs revealed alterations in gene expression patterns associated with atopic dermatitis, suggesting its potential for understanding skin disease pathophysiology.

This study reported that administering salicylates to wounds in adult mice promoted wound healing patterns similar to embryonic wounds, enabling complete wound regeneration and reduced scarring by activating AMPK and subsequent signaling pathways.

This study found that healthcare workers with a positive SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal swab were most likely to report long-COVID symptoms, while seropositive workers without a positive swab had milder symptoms.
