This review discusses the diagnosis, management, and clinical challenges of female pattern hair loss in PCOS patients but reports no new clinical findings, highlighting the need for further research and multidisciplinary care.

In this study, researchers found that repeated finasteride administration in female rats led to antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects, potentially linked to increased estradiol and decreased corticosterone levels, with implications for neurosteroid-based treatments in women.

This review suggests that excessive facial photoprotection could play a role in frontal fibrosing alopecia through a disturbance in immunological balance via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-kynurenine pathway.

In this study, specific SNPs in the FST gene were significantly associated with various wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting potential markers for breeding programs.

This study found that a cream containing 2% Fennel extract reduced hair diameter in idiopathic hirsutism patients more effectively than a cream with 1% Fennel or a placebo.

In this case series, researchers reported on the clinical characteristics and treatment approaches for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia in four cases, emphasizing the importance of early identification and intervention to manage this scarring hair loss disorder that primarily affects the frontal hairline and eyebrows.

The abstract describes the establishment of the TSHRS and its founding members but reports no new research findings.

This review examines various methods for assessing hair growth in women, highlighting the usefulness of the mFG visual scoring method for diagnosing hirsutism despite its limitations.

This study found that RXR agonists stimulated human hair follicle growth and survival in vitro, suggesting potential for promoting hair growth in humans.

This study determined that the human steroid 5α-reductase enzymes localize to the endoplasmic reticulum in HeLa cells, with protein tagging affecting expression and inducing protein aggregates for some isoforms.

This study found that eyelash loss, facial papules, and body hair involvement were linked to severe frontal fibrosing alopecia, and antiandrogens were the most effective treatment.

This review evaluates the use of 5α-reductase inhibitors in feminising hormone therapy, finding their additive feminising benefits unclear due to their specific action on testosterone conversion, with concerns highlighted regarding limited supporting evidence and safety signals, particularly for psychiatric and sexual effects.

This study found that spironolactone directly inhibits 5 alpha-reductase activity in hirsute women, resulting in decreased conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which may contribute to its therapeutic effects.

This study found a high prevalence of beard and eyebrow alopecia in male patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, and suggests a potential link between hormonal imbalances and the condition.

This study identified enzymes responsible for regulating androgen action in the human prostate, suggesting that inhibiting AKR1C2 or RL-HSD may have therapeutic potential in androgen insufficiency or benign prostatic hyperplasia, respectively.

The GH-IGF-I axis is likely involved in the hormonal imbalances seen in non-obese women with functional hyperandrogenism.

This study found that STAT3 directly inhibits the sheep FST gene and cell proliferation, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms of hair follicle development and wool characteristics.

In this study, spironolactone was reported to stabilize or improve female pattern hair loss in 74.3% of treated women, especially those with signs of hyperandrogenism.

This study presents the first report on cloning and characterizing the full-length cDNA of SRD5A1 in Indian catfish (Clarias magur), revealing expression differences across reproductive phases and increased expression post-Ovatide administration in ovaries and testis.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly lower levels of estradiol and follicle stimulating hormone compared to fertile women, with no significant differences in testosterone and thyroid hormone levels.

This study concluded that hormonal replacement therapy can improve skin ageing symptoms by increasing skin thickness and alleviating dryness and hyposeborrhoea in postmenopausal women.

This review discusses finasteride's use in manipulating neuroactive steroid levels and its potential effects on behavior, reporting preclinical evidence and clinical observations but providing no new experimental results.

This case report highlights the importance of considering frontal fibrosing alopecia in young women, emphasizing early diagnosis to preserve hair and limit inflammation.

This study provides the most comprehensive review to date of published cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, emphasizing a notable association with thyroid disease.

In this study, eight patients with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets who share a specific VDR mutation showed improved clinical symptoms except alopecia after up to 11 years of treatment.

This study found that sFRP4 inhibits but does not block hair follicle regeneration in mice, suggesting a potential role in treating hair follicle regeneration disorders.

This study found that a combination of spironolactone and oral contraceptive pills may improve hirsutism and hormonal profiles in women, although some experienced side effects such as persistent nausea.

Female hair loss may be linked to heart health and aging.

This study found that combining flutamide with an oral contraceptive significantly reduced hirsutism, acne, and seborrhea in patients after seven months, without significant side effects.

This review discusses frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting its frequent misdiagnosis and highlighting the need for larger studies to better understand its epidemiology, causes, and treatment options; it reports no new clinical findings.
