This study describes the first case of female pseudohermaphroditism due to a novel homozygous glucocorticoid receptor gene mutation, indicating possible pre- and postnatal virilization in affected females.

This review discusses the role of antioxidants in managing oxidative skin damage and reports no new results, emphasizing the need for understanding their mechanisms, limitations, and risks for safe use.

This study found that epidermal Wnt production is crucial for forming the skin's spinous layer through a BMP-FGF signaling cascade, although Wnt from basal cells is not needed for their differentiation.

This review discusses oxidative stress's role in polycystic ovary syndrome and examines various biomarkers to understand its impact on the disorder's pathogenesis, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the potential benefits and risks of selenium in cancer prevention and treatment, emphasizing that while selenium may offer advantages for tumor patients, further research is needed due to mixed findings regarding diabetes risk.

Hair follicles in people with alopecia have lower levels of a key blood vessel growth protein.

This study observed that Ptprq mutant mice exhibit significant abnormalities in hair bundle structure and vestibular dysfunction, suggesting similar issues may contribute to hearing loss and vestibular problems in humans with PTPRQ mutations.

This review explores the potential (neuro-)endocrine influences on hair follicle epithelial stem cell biology and emphasizes the need for more systematic research, but it provides no new empirical results.

This article reports on the use of ketoconazole for treating cutaneous leishmaniasis, but includes no new clinical trial findings.

This study found that while cyclophosphamide remains effective for severe autoimmune conditions, it is associated with gastrointestinal side effects, infections, some cases of irreversible amenorrhoea, and a higher risk of malignancies, emphasizing the need for long-term monitoring.

This report describes cases of increased hair loss and scalp sunburns in patients using 3% minoxidil and 0.01% tretinoin, suggesting caution with tretinoin use on sunny days.

This study found that human scalp hair follicles can internally operate a Cori cycle, synthesize glycogen in the presence of lactate, and modulate growth through glycogen phosphorylase activity.

This review discusses the implications of deterministic chaos in pathology, emphasizing its potential impact on predicting biological behavior of lesions, and reports no new experimental results.

This article introduces the term "anisotrichosis" to describe the significant variation in hair shaft diameters observed in pattern alopecia, drawing a parallel to anisocytosis seen in blood smears, but reports no new research findings.

Leptin helps start the growth phase of hair.

This article presents a model for evaluating public R&D that emphasizes measuring capacity-based metrics over traditional outcome-based metrics, using the concept of a Knowledge Value Collective.

This study found that androgen signaling has complex effects on bone formation in male AR3.6-transgenic mice, with varying impacts based on the embryonic lineage of cells.

In this study, five out of six patients treated with vemurafenib for metastatic melanoma experienced hair loss, which improved after topical steroid treatment.

This study found that Tsukushi facilitates wound healing in mice by regulating macrophage function and myofibroblast differentiation.

This study observed that men receiving dutasteride for benign prostatic hyperplasia did not show significant differences in neuropsychological assessments compared to a control group not on dutasteride.

This article reviews endocrine therapies for androgen excess disorders, emphasizing spironolactone, estrogen, and dexamethasone as effective treatments; it reports no new clinical results.

This study reviews the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may impact male fertility, noting potential disruptions in spermatogenesis and hormone secretion, and underscores the need for follow-up in recovered men.

This study found that the L457(3.43)R mutation in the human luteinizing hormone receptor increases phosphodiesterase activity, reducing hormonal response despite elevated basal cAMP levels.

This study found that IL-6 knockout mice exhibited increased wound-induced hair neogenesis compared to wild-type mice, likely due to enhanced STAT3 activation facilitated by compensatory cytokine activity.

This case series describes six women with both PCOS and Graves' disease, suggesting a possible shared underlying cause for their co-occurrence.

This review discusses the role of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) in the epidermal barrier, noting that its disruption in mice is linked to skin and fur abnormalities; it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses strategies for changing hair color by regulating target genes in hair follicles using advanced delivery systems, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the roles of platelets in hemostasis and wound repair, the preparation methods for platelet concentrates, and their therapeutic applications in medicine and dentistry, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that ATM protein plays a crucial role in protecting human hair follicle melanocytes from oxidative stress, which is linked to the greying of hair.

This review discusses the pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical features, histology, and treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight its increasing incidence and challenging nature.
