This review discusses the substantial impact of alopecia areata on patients' health-related quality of life, highlighting issues such as personality changes, emotional and social difficulties, and a common occurrence of alexithymia, and emphasizes the need for more specific assessment tools.

This article reviews the development and use of induced pluripotent stem cell models and artificial organoids for studying neurodevelopmental disorders, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, repeated finasteride administration was associated with decreased social interaction and cognitive deficits in male rats, potentially linked to changes in cholinergic system activity.

Finasteride helps reduce pain and inflammation in animals.

This review discusses the psychological and social impacts of androgenetic alopecia and suggests that medical treatments can have some positive psychological effects, highlighting the condition's moderate stress and impact on body image.

This review summarizes proposed pathophysiological mechanisms of postpartum depression, highlighting neuroendocrine and neurobiological changes, but reports no new findings and calls for integrated understanding of the disorder.

This study supports the conclusion that the hormetic dose-response model is the most prevalent and fundamental model in biological and biomedical sciences, applicable to a wide range of clinical conditions.

This review provides practical guidelines for managing psychodermatologic disorders and concludes that psychopharmacologic agents offer a useful option for treatment, considering the underlying psychopathologic condition.

This review suggests that quercetin supplementation may benefit ovarian functions and hormonal levels in polycystic ovary syndrome, though further high-quality trials are needed for confirmation.

This review focuses on neuroactive steroids' influence on GABA-ergic signaling and discusses challenges in developing them for various therapeutic uses, citing recent excitement from FDA approval of allopregnanolone for postpartum depression but reporting no new results.

This review examines the impact of spontaneous premature ovarian insufficiency on women's sexual function and highlights the need for a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach to management, but presents no new clinical results.

This review addresses the effects of testosterone on brain development and examines both the established sex differences in brain functions and the debate surrounding structural dimorphism in neuropsychiatric conditions.

This study suggests that synthetic steroid analogues or 5α-reductase modulation could be potential therapeutic strategies for nervous system disorders, but further research on their effects is necessary.

This study developed the Chi-PCOSQ, a culturally adapted Chinese assessment tool for measuring health-related quality of life in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, showing promising reliability and validity.

In this study, content analysis of German YouTube videos revealed that women frequently experience both positive and negative symptoms related to oral contraceptive use and discontinuation, with bodily sensations often influencing their decisions to start or stop the pill.

In this study, researchers developed a multifunctional, injectable hydrogel that adapts to irregularly shaped wounds, enhances healing, and shows potential antibacterial activity without significant toxicity, suggesting promise for treating chronic wounds.

In this study, researchers found that the original four-factor model of causal illness attributions in the IPQ-R did not fit a Chinese sample, and instead identified a two-factor model focusing on psychological attributions and risk factors.

This study indicates that the EQ-5D-5L may not effectively capture the burden of alopecia areata on patients' health-related quality of life, and suggests that alternative measures might better assess treatment benefits related to hair regrowth.

This study found that higher dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels are associated with reduced crowing complexity in Kokok Balenggek roosters.

This study demonstrates that a novel autologous hair follicle-derived epithelial sheet can effectively repigment skin in patients with stable vitiligo, offering a potential new treatment option.

This study found that among older adults in Korea, satisfaction with scalp and hair-care services and perceived effectiveness in managing hair loss were the strongest predictors of their intention to continue using these services, with self-esteem and relational factors also contributing positively.

This study found that direct co-culture of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells with regulatory T cells enhanced osteogenic gene expression, alkaline phosphatase activity, and matrix mineralization, suggesting Treg's potential in promoting bone regeneration by modulating BMSC mechanobiology through the ROCK-myosin signaling pathway.

This study used a zebrafish model and advanced mass spectrometry to identify 11 metabolites of epristeride, revealing significant effects on purine metabolism and aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, which may aid in developing anti-doping detection methods.

In this simulation study, higher cannabis exposure was associated with increased hair shedding severity and reduced follicular density, with greater effects observed in female-assigned profiles, but these associations are based on modeled data and not clinical observations.

IBD patients treated with TNF antagonists may develop autoimmune alopecia areata, with severe cases less likely to improve.

This animal study found that finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor, decreased dihydrotestosterone levels and c-Fos protein activation in the rat brain, but these effects may diminish after discontinuing the drug.
