This study describes a co-dominant E410D mutation in keratin hHb6 associated with severe hair loss and extensive papules in homozygous individuals, with variable expression in heterozygous family members.

This study found that the ablation of Esrp1 and Esrp2 disrupts epithelial tight junctions by affecting Arhgef11 isoform expressions, highlighting a potential mechanistic link between splicing alterations and epithelial barrier defects.

This review found that platelet-rich plasma therapy improved hair growth and thickness in most studies on alopecia, with the highest improvement seen when combined with Minoxidil.

In this case report, tofacitinib was associated with new hair growth on psoriasis lesions after three months of treatment.

The authors concluded that finasteride treatment inhibits hippocampal neurogenesis in mice, potentially impacting emotional behaviors and contributing to the pathophysiology of affective disorders.

This study in Italy observed telogen effluvium and trichodynia as common hair-related complications following COVID-19 infection, raising questions about underlying hair follicle biology and potential receptor involvement.

This review found that topical immunotherapy and light/laser therapy may achieve over 50% hair regrowth efficacy in treating extensive alopecia areata in children, with no serious side effects observed.

This study demonstrated that the biomimetic peptide PTP20 may help preserve hair pigmentation and reduce greying by enhancing melanocyte function and increasing melanin production in human hair follicles.

This report describes a new case of syndromic ichthyosis caused by compound heterozygous mutations in AP1B1, detailing the associated clinical features and molecular consequences in the patient.

This review discusses recent advancements in female contraception and covers topics like adapted regimens, non-invasive sterilization, and the promise of new methods, but it reports no new clinical findings.

THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.

In this study, the addition of topical latanoprost to betamethasone treatment improved the therapeutic efficacy for patients with patchy alopecia areata, showing more significant hair regrowth compared to minoxidil alone and enhanced outcomes without adverse effects.

This study found that depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance were associated with male lower urinary tract symptoms, but these factors did not predict improvement after evaluation and treatment over time.

This review discusses hairstyling trends and health risks among Black women, noting that natural styles have the fewest adverse associations, though challenges remain in society's acceptance.

This study reports a case of Ellis van Creveld syndrome in a 40-year-old Iranian woman, highlighting uncommon features such as pectus excavatum, Phrygian cap gallbladder, liver hemangioma, polycystic ovarian disease, and breast fibrocystic cysts.

In this study, a 300 mcg daily testosterone patch significantly increased satisfying sexual episodes and sexual desire in postmenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder not receiving estrogen, compared to placebo.

This study found that L-glutamine supplementation in Hanwoo steers under heat stress did not affect growth performance or muscle and adipose tissue gene expression but was associated with increased immune cells and reduced HSP90 expression.

This study suggests that keratinocytes derived from hair follicles of patients with atopic dermatitis provide a useful model for investigating AD-related inflammation, as they showed greater expression changes of AD markers when stimulated with type 2 cytokines compared to those from healthy donors.

In this study, the researchers compared subcutaneous fat in the frontal and occipital scalp regions, which are affected and spared in androgenetic alopecia respectively, to better understand the role of subcutaneous fat in the condition's pathogenesis.

In this study, baricitinib treatment led to significant regrowth of scalp, eyebrow, and eyelash hair in alopecia areata patients compared to placebo, with higher effectiveness seen at the 4-mg dose.

This study found that a lower number of GGC sequences in the androgen receptor gene was associated with better clinical response to finasteride in male androgenetic alopecia patients.

This study found that a newly developed keratin active ingredient effectively prevents aging damage in hair by strengthening its structure after exposure to simulated environmental stress.

This study found that intralesional Vitamin D3 injections were comparable in efficacy to intralesional triamcinolone for patchy alopecia areata, with a non-significant trend towards better outcomes and fewer local adverse effects.

In this study of women aged 18-45 from an endocrine referral group, researchers found that while clinical hirsutism severity is independently associated with biochemical hyperandrogenism, the relationship is modest and suggests different biological aspects are at play.

This study examined sheltered and adopted domestic cats, finding that dark coat color and living environment significantly influence hair cortisol and DHEA levels as stress indicators, while age and sex do not; adoption was associated with reduced long-term stress, underscoring its benefits for feline welfare.

This study found that in women with PCOS, a combination of finasteride and spironolactone significantly improved all health-related quality of life scales and reduced hyperandrogenism within four months, supporting its role alongside lifestyle measures.

Early recognition and treatment of SLE can improve outcomes in patients with complex symptoms.

This study found that overexpression of erythropoietin disrupted hair growth in mice by affecting dermal fat lipogenesis and lipolysis, leading to poor hair follicle development and truncal alopecia.

This case report documented a 32-year-old man's acute pancreatitis following an overdose of finasteride, highlighting the potential for rare but severe side effects from the drug in overdose situations, and suggesting a need for further research into its safety.

This study found that combining a single SVF injection with PRP sessions did not significantly enhance hair growth outcomes compared to PRP injections alone in patients with androgenetic alopecia.
