This study described four adult male cases of Kennedy disease with typical neurological symptoms and noted gynecomastia as the most frequent endocrinological manifestation, accompanied by an abnormal expansion in the androgen receptor gene.

This study, conducted among Egyptians, found a borderline significant association between the Stul polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene and androgenetic alopecia in males, with higher androgen receptor expression in balding scalp areas.

Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.

This review discusses environmental epigenomics and its potential impact on gene regulation and phenotypic outcomes, using the Avy mouse model to illustrate nutritional and environmental effects on the fetal epigenome without presenting new findings.

This study found that while a tip-focused calcium gradient influences localized growth in root hairs and pollen tubes, it is not the primary determinant of growth direction in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study found that the AR-E211 A allele is associated with a lower risk of both metastatic prostate cancer and androgenetic alopecia in an Australian population.

This study revealed that human keratin-associated protein genes are expressed in specific patterns in hair fiber regions and vary in size, with some variations distinct across different populations.

This study found that irreversible and severe alopecia can occur following docetaxel or paclitaxel chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.

This study suggests that exosomes derived from dermal papilla cells, especially those cultured in three dimensions, promote hair growth and regeneration by enhancing follicular cell activity.

In this review, the researchers detailed how the p63 transcription factor influences epithelial stem cell activities such as self-renewal, differentiation, and proliferation, highlighting the role of TAp63 and ΔNp63 isoforms in both normal tissue development and cancer pathogenesis.

This study found that oxidative damage is present in the mitochondria of PolG mice, which exhibit premature aging-like phenotypes due to mitochondrial dysfunction.

In this study, reduced androgen receptor gene methylation and shorter CAG repeats in children with premature pubarche may lead to increased hair follicle sensitivity to steroid hormones, potentially causing early pubic hair development.

In this study, mutations in the CDH3 gene were identified as the cause of hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy, and the researchers observed substantial phenotypic variability among affected individuals.

This review discusses the association between androgen receptor gene polymorphism and PCOS, reporting mixed findings on whether shorter or longer CAG repeats are linked to the disorder; it provides no new results and calls for further studies.

This study found that men with Kennedy disease have a significantly lower risk of androgenetic alopecia, likely due to androgen receptor gene alterations from the disease's polyglutamine expansion.

This study found that mutant glucocorticoid receptors have defective transcriptional activity and dynamic motility issues in the nucleus, likely due to impaired interactions with nuclear molecules necessary for gene activation.

This study found that Tsukushi facilitates wound healing in mice by regulating macrophage function and myofibroblast differentiation.

This review discusses recent genetic findings on hormonal signaling pathways in androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new study results but highlighting the need for further investigation.

This study found that epimorphin is closely linked to developing hair follicles in human fetuses, suggesting it plays a significant role in hair follicle morphogenesis.

Haplogroup X found in Altaian population supports Amerindian origin.

This study found no improvement in male-pattern hair loss after six months of using laser hair-comb therapy in two men.

This study found that extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells and umbilical cord blood plasma enhanced wound healing and reduced scar formation in mice, suggesting their potential as therapeutic agents for skin repair.

This study identified a genetic variant in the SGK3 gene related to hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds, suggesting a similar role for androgen-independent hair loss in humans.

This study identified a genetic variant in the CTS6 gene associated with a hypotrichosis syndrome, emphasizing the significant role of cystatin M/E in hair and skin health.

In this study, the researchers reported that finasteride's efficacy in treating female pattern hair loss in Japanese patients was not predictable based on CAG repeat numbers in the androgen receptor gene.

The authors concluded that using an expanded temporoparieto-occipital scalp flap for sideburn reconstruction provides satisfactory hair direction and inconspicuous scars in both the donor and recipient areas, with few complications.

This article reviews options and principles for reconstructing defects of the scalp, skull, orbit, and maxilla, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that reconstructing perioral soft tissue defects with submental tissue resulted in satisfactory aesthetic outcomes and minimal donor-site morbidity.

This study described specific skin and hair follicle abnormalities in three Japanese patients with Cantu syndrome, which may relate to the regulation role of SUR2 in hair follicle growth.

This study found that the count of CAG trinucleotide repeats in the androgen receptor gene may be associated with acne in female patients without hyperandrogenism.
