This study found that dermal fibroblast cultures, especially those with higher alpha-smooth muscle actin expression, can be used to produce skin-derived precursor cells, unlike human hair follicle dermal papilla cultures.

This study found that despite the presence of steroidogenesis inhibitors, CRPC tumor cells adapt to continue synthesizing androgens, suggesting a need for more effective androgen axis targeting.

This study proposes reclassifying PCOS into two distinct phenotypes based on androgen levels and suggests androgen supplementation may overcome IVF resistance in one group with advancing age.

This study found that mice lacking alkaline ceramidase 1 with elevated skin ceramide levels showed disrupted skin homeostasis, including altered hair follicle structures, increased water loss, and a hypermetabolism phenotype.

This review explores the role of Granzyme B in autoimmune skin diseases and highlights its potential as a therapeutic target due to its involvement in impaired barrier function and inflammation.

This study found no clinically significant effects of intraovarian injection of platelet-rich plasma on ovarian function over one year in patients with extremely low functional ovarian reserve.

Among patients treated at Thomas Jefferson University, this study found that adding cryotherapy to intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (IL TAC) was more effective at reducing keloid size compared to IL TAC alone, although both treatments similarly eased pruritus and pain.

Using a transgenic pig model, this study demonstrated that LGR5 is a marker of hair follicle stem cells across different species, with important similarities and differences in gene expression and developmental processes.

This study explored whether bald characters are disproportionately portrayed as villains in Hollywood films but reports no new empirical results; the authors suggest this pattern may reflect a societal bias associating alopecia with immorality.

This study concluded that the Spa Touch system effectively retards hair regrowth, functioning like a "light razor" for quick and cost-effective epilation.

This article reviews genetic mutations linked to monilethrix, a hereditary hair disorder, and reports no new clinical findings on the condition's variability in symptoms and severity.

This study identified three subgroups of women with PCOS with distinct androgen profiles, finding that the subgroup with adrenal-derived androgen excess had the highest insulin resistance and rates of hirsutism and hair loss.

This article offers HTML content and a downloadable PDF but does not provide an abstract or new findings for summary.

This article reviews surgical techniques for addressing scalp defects and highlights hair restoration as a cosmetic improvement strategy, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses coordinated management strategies for polycystic ovary syndrome across various levels of care but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, distinct androgen excess subtypes were identified in women with PCOS, with the adrenal androgen excess cluster showing significantly higher rates of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, suggesting 11-oxygenated androgens as potential drivers of metabolic risk.

This study demonstrated that LGR5 is a marker of hair follicle stem cells across species using a transgenic pig model and noted similarities and differences in expression patterns compared to humans.

This article discusses the applications and proposed benefits of LED low level light therapy for various conditions like acne, wound healing, and pain relief, but provides no new clinical results.

This report describes a clinical case of a 38-year-old man diagnosed with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, confirmed by genetic testing, highlighting the presentation of multiple renal tumors and bilateral lung cysts.

This article reviews the characteristics, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies for folliculitis decalvans, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and treatment to mitigate hair loss, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, transgenic mice expressing a truncated form of latent transforming growth factor-β-binding protein exhibited altered hair cycles due to increased active transforming growth factor-β, impacting keratinocyte proliferation and hair cycle phases.

This study identifies mutations in the SRD5A3 gene as a cause of a new type of congenital disorder of glycosylation, impacting mental, ophthalmologic, and cerebellar functions.

This study suggests that antihepcidin antibodies may effectively treat inflammatory anemia by manipulating iron metabolism, based on experiments conducted in mouse models and hHepc knock-in mice.

This study found that nestin-expressing cells in the hair follicle bulge exhibit multipotent stem cell-like properties and can generate neural cells both in vitro and in vivo.

This study revealed that during fetal development, MITF and Mart-1 expressing melanocytes progress from the dermis to the epidermis and hair follicles, with MITF possibly marking follicular stem cells.

This study found that the enzyme glutamine synthetase is distributed throughout the epidermis and its activity in keratinocytes is notably increased by ammonium ions, suggesting the skin serves as a reservoir for glutamine generation.

This study demonstrated that dermal papilla cells are molecularly distinct from fibroblasts and identified many novel molecules, including a new member of the CTGF protein family.

Mink use L-methionine and L-cystine slightly better than natural amino acids for hair growth, but D-methionine is not effective.

This study found that nuclear androgen receptor expression was enhanced by dihydrotestosterone in rat gubernacular mesenchyme, but this did not affect muscle morphology or matrix composition during fetal development.

This letter to the editor addresses corrections related to an earlier study on the effect of the dual 5α-reductase inhibitor dutasteride on markers of tumor regression in prostate cancer, but reports no new findings.
