This study found that oral minoxidil showed limited cosmetic effectiveness in treating severe alopecia areata, with only 18% of patients experiencing a noticeable response.

In this study, PRP increased hair density in areas treated for androgenetic alopecia, but there was no significant difference when compared to placebo-treated areas.

This study identified several herbs, including Ganoderma lucidum and Urtica dioica, that showed promising 5α-reductase inhibitory activity suggesting potential use in managing androgenic disorders.

This study found that cedrol, administered orally, exhibited potential antiarthritic effects in rats by reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and arthritis severity.

This study found that in the Thai population, hair density varies by scalp location and decreases with age, and that Asians generally have lower hair density compared to Caucasian and African populations.

This review discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma for facial rejuvenation, acne scarring, and androgenic alopecia and reports positive outcomes but emphasizes the need for standardized preparation and application methods.

The study observed that Americans of Hispanic descent have a statistically significant higher hair density than individuals of African descent but lower than Caucasians, which may assist in diagnosing and researching hair disorders.

This paper presents a consensus-driven diagnostic evaluation form for assessing hirsutism in premenopausal women, developed by The Skin Academy for use in clinical practice.

In this study, molecular docking simulations and cell-based assays suggested that certain analogues of cepharanthine might possess anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity.

This study suggests that alopecia in vitamin D receptor null mice is due to impaired initiation of the hair cycle rather than defects in keratinocyte proliferation or differentiation.

This review discusses methods for evaluating hair growth-promoting effects of candidate substances for androgenetic alopecia, focusing on cell assays, organ cultures, and animal models, and reports no new results.

This study found that linseed oil, rich in flavonoids and terpenoids, significantly improved burn wound healing in terms of faster contraction, reduced inflammation, and enhanced tissue regeneration compared to other treatments, without adverse effects.

Men with a certain type of hair loss (AGA) have higher bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol levels, making them more likely to get heart disease.

The researchers reported that glucuronides stored as dried blood spots under ambient conditions exhibited stability equivalent to liquid samples stored at -80°C.

This study found that finasteride decreases DHT/T levels more significantly in the vertex scalp hair than in the occipital hair of patients with male pattern baldness.

This study found that urchin-like Ag–Au bimetallic and Ag nanoparticle-decorated PAN mats showed significant antibacterial effects and potential for wound healing in in vitro and in vivo animal models.

This study found that BMI was not a significant factor in predicting surgical complications for transgender patients undergoing penile inversion vaginoplasty, suggesting obese patients can safely undergo gender affirmation surgery.

This study found that the quality of life for Japanese lupus erythematosus patients with skin manifestations improved after treatment, though female gender and older age were associated with poorer outcomes in certain quality of life domains.

In this study, no association was found between the AR gene and type II androgenetic alopecia in Egyptian women, suggesting it is not a useful biomarker for predisposition.

This article presents a model for evaluating public R&D that emphasizes measuring capacity-based metrics over traditional outcome-based metrics, using the concept of a Knowledge Value Collective.

This study found that several synthesized pregnane derivatives exhibited significant inhibitory effects on testosterone conversion to dihydrotestosterone and reduced related androgenic parameters in multiple pharmacological models.

This study found that total testosterone and free testosterone are recommended as first-line tests for diagnosing biochemical hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS; liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry is preferred for its accuracy.

This study found that ethanolic leaves extract of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. exhibited strong antioxidant activity and enhanced wound healing properties in mice, showing reasonable safety in toxicological evaluations without severe alterations.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have elevated cardiovascular risk markers, with levels being higher in obese participants compared to non-obese participants.

This article reviews various causes and investigative techniques for different forms of alopecia and reports no new findings.

This study found that Teucrium polium L. subsp. geyrii Maire extract demonstrated a large safety margin in acute and subacute toxicity tests on mice and significantly enhanced wound healing in rats, especially with callus extract, by improving cell proliferation and wound contraction.

In this study, both platelet-rich plasma and intralesional corticosteroids improved hair re-growth in alopecia areata patients, but the difference between treatments was not significant, with fewer relapses observed in the platelet-rich plasma group.

This guideline discusses the evaluation and treatment of hirsutism in premenopausal women, recommending oral contraceptive pills or antiandrogens as initial therapies with weak support from low-quality evidence.

This analysis reports that hepatitis B surface protein antigen exposure is associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata.
