November 2025 in “Cancers” This study conducted a meta-analysis and found that men with both frontal and vertex male pattern baldness have a slightly increased risk of developing prostate cancer, though most data was from Caucasian populations and effect modification by genetic variations was not assessed.
September 2025 in “Cosmetics” This study found that using a pharmacogenetic panel with 26 SNPs can improve treatment outcomes for androgenetic alopecia, as overall response rates to minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride were high, and specific genetic markers predicted poor responses to these drugs.
August 2025 in “Biomedicines” In this case report, half-siblings with bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma were found to have a susceptibility to Trichophyton rubrum infection, successfully treated with oral terbinafine.
