This article discusses the various roles of steroids in vertebrate organ systems and notes several glucocorticoids that were among the Top 200 Drugs by sales in the 2010s, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this review, the researchers reported that 5α-reductase inhibitors demonstrated neuroprotective effects and reduced dyskinesias in animal models of Parkinson's disease, suggesting their potential for repurposing to manage symptoms in men with PD.

This study reports that dutasteride, used alone or with tamsulosin, effectively reduces acute urine retention and surgery risk in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, and may lower prostate cancer incidence, suggesting potential chemopreventive benefits.

This review details the adverse effects and drug interactions of biologic agents used in rheumatoid disease treatment, highlighting their significant side effect profile without reporting new clinical findings.

This study found that Rubus coreanum extract promotes hair growth in mice, but its effects are not due to inhibition of specific enzymatic activities or growth factor expression.

This study suggests that melatonin plays a role in hair follicle function by modulating growth and pigmentation, and it may act as a protective agent in active hair growth phases.

This study found that the Spanish version of the Hair Specific Skindex 29 (HSS29) is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the quality of life impact of female androgenetic alopecia.

This article examines anticytokine therapies for autoimmune diseases, highlighting the potential of anti-interferon-γ as a universal treatment for certain conditions and noting varying effectiveness of tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors.

Cosmeceuticals may benefit skin health but need more research for efficacy and safety confirmation.

This study found that nicotine may have a therapeutic role in mitigating the exacerbation of infertility conditions connected with alpha-synuclein-related Parkinson’s disease through molecular interactions identified via pathway analysis.

This study found that Schistosoma mansoni cercariae stimulate epidermal keratinocytes in mice, initiating pro-inflammatory responses and barrier repair mechanisms akin to those in wound healing.

This study used proteomic techniques to analyze human hair proteins, revealing keratin heterogeneity and identifying posttranslational modifications, such as cysteine trioxidation and methylation.

This study found that red ginseng oil may enhance hair growth and protect skin from UV damage in mouse models by promoting regenerative processes and reducing inflammation.

This study suggests that Notch1 acts as a key signal in skin epithelium, promoting immune cell recruitment and aiding in normal skin repair after damage.

This review discusses strategies to enhance mesenchymal stem cell therapy effectiveness but reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for improved consistency and efficacy in MSC-based treatments.

This article reviews TNF-α inhibitor-induced alopecia, identifying various types of hair loss such as severe alopecia areata and scarring alopecia, and calls for more controlled studies to better understand this adverse effect.

This study evaluated the effects of exosome therapy from hypoxia-treated mesenchymal stem cells on a fluconazole-induced alopecia model in rats and found that it significantly reduced TNF-α and increased VEGF levels, suggesting potential as a novel regenerative treatment for alopecia.

This study found that IL-4 VNTR intron 3 and TNF-α (rs1799964) gene polymorphisms do not have a significant association with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Egyptian population.

Certain hairstyles can cause scalp diseases, smoking is linked to hair loss, 5% minoxidil foam is effective for hair loss treatment, and various factors influence wound healing and hair growth.

This study found that keratin 17 and TNFα play interdependent roles in regulating hair follicle cycling, with TNFα required for the anagen–catagen transition and its ablation partially rescuing hair cycling defects in K17-null mice.

This review discusses common skin eruptions caused by biologics in treating inflammatory bowel disease and proposes tailored therapeutic approaches for managing these adverse reactions.

This review explores whether SARS-CoV-2 could trigger or worsen α-synucleinopathies, like Parkinson's disease, by affecting α-synuclein misfolding and aggregation, potentially linking COVID-19 with the development of parkinsonism-like symptoms.

5α-Reductase helps regulate hormone action in toad testes, especially during breeding season.

This study suggests that Nepenthes kampotiana Lecomte ethanol extract may promote hair growth and inhibit cell death in models of androgenic alopecia, indicating potential as a treatment option.

This study found that hair shaft miniaturization in aging and genetic hypotrichosis leads to hair follicle stem cell loss through mechanical compression and apoptosis mediated by the Piezo1 channel.

In this study, a botanical extract and minoxidil showed similar effects in vitro by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines and 5α-reductase expression while increasing growth factors VEGF and KGF in human keratinocyte cells, suggesting potential for further in vivo research.

This study involved a Delphi-method consensus from 34 Spanish dermatologists, outlining structured recommendations for managing androgenetic alopecia based on available scientific evidence and expert opinions, aiming to guide clinical practice amid limited treatment approvals and varying effectiveness.

This study found that 17-beta-estradiol inhibits hair growth in mice by blocking hair follicles in the telogen phase, whereas an estrogen receptor antagonist promotes hair growth by initiating anagen.

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.
