This study found no significant association between male pattern baldness and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

In this case study, a 26-year-old female with PLEC mutations and features of muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis showed significant improvement in symptoms following steroid treatment.

This study identified 15 Iranian patients with PLEC variants linked to various plectinopathies and highlighted a novel association between a homozygous nonsense variant in PLEC and a rare combination of disorders including EB pruriginosa, muscular dystrophy, and congenital myasthenic syndrome.

This case report highlights a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor as the cause of androgen excess in a 36-year-old woman and underscores the importance of thorough preoperative workup to avoid unnecessary surgery.

This review examines the potential roles of azathioprine and methotrexate in treating alopecia areata, concluding that both can be effective as monotherapy or in combination therapy.

In this study, serum omentin-1 levels were higher in females with idiopathic hirsutism compared to those with hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting it may help distinguish between these conditions.

This case report describes a unique instance of congenital triangular alopecia affecting the chin in a 12-year-old boy, noting the condition is typically benign with limited treatment options being necessary.

This study revealed low knowledge about corneal donation in the Aseer region, Saudi Arabia, with a significant association between willingness to donate and having a good level of knowledge.

The antidepressant escitalopram likely caused hair loss in a patient.

This study reported that exposure to melatonin promoted hair follicle fiber growth in an in vitro Cashmere goat model, potentially by influencing pathways related to the extracellular matrix and microvascular system.

This study found that melatonin, alone or with minoxidil, significantly reduced hair loss and increased hair growth in mice by enhancing antioxidant activity and lowering lipid peroxidation.

In this study, tacrolimus-based treatment was found to result in fewer overall side effects compared to cyclosporine among Yemeni kidney transplant patients, although tacrolimus was associated with a higher incidence of diabetes.

This study suggests that keratin peptide signatures in human hair shafts may potentially be used to distinguish gender and ethnicity, although further validation with larger samples is needed.

This study suggests that keratin peptide signatures from human hair shafts could potentially distinguish gender and ethnicity, though confirmation in larger studies is needed.

This study demonstrated potential in using specific keratin peptide profiles from human hair shafts to distinguish gender and ethnicity, suggesting it could enhance forensic investigations, though larger studies are needed.

In this case series, two cats with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism achieved clinical remission and normal thyroid function following timely diagnosis and targeted treatment with levothyroxine and methimazole, respectively.

This study found that vitamin C deficiency in neonatal dairy calves is closely associated with skin problems like dermatosis, but treatment with vitamin C led to improvements.

This study demonstrated that gene-corrected 3D skin constructs from RDEB patient-derived iPSCs, grafted onto immunocompetent mice, showed normal collagen VII expression after two months.

This study demonstrated that prevascularized human skin constructs containing engineered hair follicles can successfully induce human hair growth when grafted onto mice by promoting blood supply to the grafted skin.

In this study, melatonin exposure promoted hair follicle fiber growth in Cashmere goats, suggesting that it may mediate hair follicle development through long non-coding RNAs affecting vascular and extracellular pathways.

This study found that melatonin exposure promoted growth in Cashmere goat hair follicles in vitro and suggested that lncRNAs play a key role in regulating this process, particularly through pathways involving the microvascular system and extracellular matrix.

This study found that fisetin, a dietary flavonoid, significantly improved psoriasiform skin lesions in mice by promoting cell differentiation, inhibiting proliferation, and modulating inflammatory responses.

This study reports that incorporating Lef-1 transfected dermal papilla cells into human skin equivalents significantly promoted hair follicle differentiation and hair fiber growth, offering a potential advancement for managing skin loss.

The researchers reported that iPSCs derived from Sendai virus reprogrammed blood cells can mature into functional keratinocytes for up to 60 days, potentially offering new approaches for DEB treatment.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that using 3D spheroid formation and genetic modification significantly enhanced the hair-inducing capacity of human dermal papilla cells in engineered skin constructs.

This study found that fish oil supplementation in male Wistar albino rats helped maintain hair shaft structure and improved amino acid composition, while reducing harmful protein compounds associated with diabetes and hypercholesterolemia.

In this study, oral iron replacement therapy showed improvement in hair loss severity for some women with low serum ferritin levels, but not all responded.

This study suggests that raising the lower normal serum ferritin level to 50 ng/mL may improve organ functions even when hemoglobin levels are normal.
