In this study, thymosin beta4 was found to stimulate hair growth in normal rats and mice by affecting key processes in the hair follicle cycle, such as stem cell migration and extracellular matrix remodeling.

This study found that OCT4B1 isoform expression was elevated in tissue and blood samples from patients with inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting a potential role in tissue repair.

In this case report, a 42-year-old woman with cutaneous dermatomyositis showed significant improvement, including reduction of erythema, pruritus, and scaling, after starting JAK inhibitor tofacitinib, especially when conventional systemic treatments failed and intravenous immune globulin wasn't viable.

This case report from a pediatric setting highlighted how an 11-year-old with Hashimoto thyroiditis experienced atypical manifestations such as short stature, pubertal issues, and hair loss after starting levothyroxine therapy, underscoring the need for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care to improve health outcomes.

Tofacitinib is a potential alternative treatment for alopecia totalis, especially in patients with a shorter duration of the condition and more preserved hair follicles, but the overall response rate is low.

This study suggests that combining the 5α-reductase inhibitor 4-MA with the antiandrogen Flutamide may improve prostate cancer therapy by additively inhibiting prostatic growth and androgen-sensitive functions in rats.

This study found that METTL1 is upregulated in papillary thyroid cancer tissues and promotes cancer cell proliferation and metastasis through its tRNA methyltransferase activity.

In this institution-based randomized trial, oral betamethasone mini-pulse therapy for alopecia areata showed a faster therapeutic response compared to oral tofacitinib, as measured by trichoscopic changes and achievement of 50% hair regrowth.

This study found that in PCOS patients, a lower TT/DHT ratio is associated with regular menstruation, while higher ratios are linked to insulin resistance, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for metabolic severity in these patients.

Finasteride may help reduce tic severity in male Tourette syndrome patients.

In this study, hair samples from breast cancer patients showed increased β-sheet structures and lipid content, with spectral markers successfully identifying cancer in a blind test but also producing false positives.

This study found that testosterone enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in male and female human islets through its conversion to DHT and E2, a process disrupted by 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibitors.

In this study, baricitinib treatment improved the differentiation of skin-derived precursors into adipocytes for diseases like Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, suggesting potential benefits when combined with lonafarnib.

In this study, FMN was found to inhibit androgen receptor function and androgen-regulated gene expression in prostate cancer cells, suggesting potential as an antiandrogen therapy.

Testosterone and fleece-flower root affect mouse hair growth.

This study found that testosterone enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in male and female human islets, requiring conversion to DHT and E2 via SRD5A1 and aromatase.

Thymosin β4 helps heal wounds, grow hair, and improve blood vessel formation.

This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.

This study found that pubic skin fibroblasts respond to androgens, increasing 5α-reductase activity via an androgen receptor-mediated mechanism, suggesting its potential as a marker of androgen action in vitro.

This study found that lower serum ferritin levels were significantly associated with telogen effluvium compared to healthy subjects and may serve as a potential biomarker for its diagnosis.

This study identified a new gene, mrp4, in mice, which suggests it may have a unique role in the growth and development of hair follicles in the ears and tails.

This study observed that patients with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher serum FABP4 levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting FABP4 may be involved in the condition's pathogenesis.

This study observed that some children and young adults with alopecia areata experienced flares during long-term tofacitinib treatment, despite initial successful hair regrowth.

This review investigates the relationship between certain gene polymorphisms associated with obesity (FTO and MC4R) and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, reporting no new results but suggesting a potential genetic link.

In this study, the researchers found that thymosin beta-4 promotes odontoblastic differentiation in human dental pulp cells, suggesting it as a potential mechanism for regenerative endodontics.

TRPV4 slows hair growth by affecting hair follicle cells.

This study identified a group of dermal fibroblasts near hair follicle stem cells in mice that facilitate hair regeneration by creating a biomechanically compliant extracellular matrix, enhancing stem cell activation and promoting a positive feedback loop for tissue regeneration.

Two women had skin reactions from a hair loss treatment and got better after stopping use.
