This article reviews the potential applications, benefits, and limitations of platelet-rich plasma in medical practice and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need for standardized preparation and treatment protocols.

This retrospective cohort study found that patients using 5α-reductase inhibitors had reduced bladder cancer-related mortality compared to nonusers, with no significant effect on bladder cancer recurrence or upper tract urothelial carcinoma mortality.

This study found that utilizing a clinical pharmacist in perioperative urological services reduced surgical cancellations and resident overtime while improving service efficiency and financial sustainability.

In this study on Iranian patients with non-scarring alopecia, researchers found that androgenetic alopecia was the most common subtype, with perifollicular inflammation observed more in males. They reported that transverse sectioning is generally sufficient for diagnosis, but combining with vertical sectioning provides more comprehensive information.

This study found that hair manganese levels did not vary by acute coronary syndrome or stable coronary artery disease severity, but a modest, non-significant correlation with body mass index suggests a potential link between manganese homeostasis and cardiometabolic status that warrants further investigation.

In this exploratory randomized controlled trial, participants using a combination of Centella asiatica-derived extracellular vesicles with recombinant growth factors showed significant improvements in hair thickness, density, length, and reduced hair loss and scalp sebum content after 56 days, compared to placebo.

In this study, researchers presented cases of cellular neurothekeoma in three male family members with early-onset in infancy, suggesting a potential genetic component and inheritance pattern, which deviates from the typical presentation seen mostly in women between 20–30 years.

This study reports on a zinc-coordinated tri-enzyme nanogel system (Zn@nGSC) that mimics natural enzymatic processes to enhance enzymatic activity and cascade efficiency, showing potential in wound healing, hyperglycemia treatment, and antibacterial effects in a murine model of post-pancreatectomy.

This study explored the molecular mechanisms by which Polygonum multiflorum may treat androgenic alopecia, suggesting it influences cell apoptosis and inflammation through specific pathways, with potential application value pending further testing.

This study reports that TFM-4AS-1, a selective androgen receptor modulator, promoted bone and muscle growth with reduced effects on reproductive organs in ovariectomized rats.

This study suggests that Terminalia chebula fruit extract may promote hair growth in androgenetic alopecia by activating specific signaling pathways and inhibiting 5α-reductase, showing effectiveness comparable to finasteride.

These guidelines recommend testing thyroid function in patients with obesity due to common hypothyroidism, and highlight that weight loss is crucial for addressing hormonal imbalances, with only modest weight loss benefits from treating endocrine disorders.

This study found that metformin treatment improved health-related quality-of-life, emotional well-being, and sexual satisfaction among women with PCOS, correlated with weight loss and menstrual cycle normalization.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone affects hair follicles but doesn't change hair growth or color.

This study found that LGR5 may play a significant role in maintaining brain cancer stem-like cells and is associated with glioma progression and poor outcomes.

This consensus document reviews current knowledge on sex differences in essential hypertension and identifies areas needing further research to improve sex-specific prevention and management strategies.

This study found that negative social attractiveness ratings for bald men by same-aged women occurred only when individuating information about the target was absent, while the physical attractiveness stereotype remained active at an implicit level.

This case study reports a 70-year-old man with treatment-resistant pityriasis rubra pilaris achieving complete clinical remission with ustekinumab, adding to evidence supporting biologic therapy when TNF inhibitors are unsuitable.

This study observed that among patients with Myhre syndrome, those with the SMAD4 gene variant p.Arg496Cys experienced fewer symptoms like hearing loss, while those with the p.Ile500Thr variant often had severe aortic hypoplasia, highlighting the diverse symptom progression and genetic factors of this rare condition.

This study identified common symptoms and side effects experienced by women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer, including fatigue, hair loss, and impacts on daily activities and mobility.

In this study, researchers created the WRAHPS Guidelines to standardize the reporting of preclinical wound healing studies, aiming to improve transparency, enable comparative analysis, and support the development of human clinical trials for wound healing disorders.

In this study, significant improvements in skin density and thickness, especially around the lower eyelid, were observed across all age groups using plasma fractions from a single blood draw, indicating that the therapy's effectiveness may be age-independent.

This study analyzed safety data for semaglutide, liraglutide, and tirzepatide from the EudraVigilance database, identifying potential safety signals not listed in current SmPCs, such as optic ischemic neuropathy and pancreatitis, underscoring the importance of ongoing pharmacovigilance.

This study found that knocking down the gene SFRP1 in human hair follicles ex vivo prolonged the hair growth phase and increased keratinocyte proliferation, suggesting potential as a therapeutic target for maintaining hair growth in male pattern baldness, while DKK1 knockdown showed no effect.

This review indicates that while microneedling shows potential for managing androgenetic alopecia, particularly in combination with other treatments, the existing evidence is of low to moderate quality, and more robust trials are needed to confirm its clinical efficacy and safety.

This review found preliminary evidence suggesting that photothermal conditioning enhances the bioactivity of platelet-rich plasma, potentially improving hair regeneration outcomes, but highlights the need for standardized protocols and further studies to confirm its efficacy and safety.

This study examined hair follicles from 14 Caucasian males and found that catagen-phase follicles were more prevalent (7.5%) than previously reported, challenging the established view that telogen-phase follicles are more common.

This study found that a single injection of autologous cell micrografts significantly improved hair condition in women with androgenetic alopecia six months post-treatment.
