This review discusses various factors influencing hair growth, including alopecia and hirsutism, and highlights recent advancements in treatment approaches without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that SDR5A1 gene expression was similar between hirsute women, normal women, and men, suggesting it may not explain differences in hair growth among these groups.

This case report describes the treatment of hirsutism in a 15-year-old obese Mexican girl with flutamide, aiming to improve her social function.

In this study, cimetidine at a daily dose of 1.5 gm for 3 months did not significantly affect hair growth in women with moderate to severe hirsutism.

In this study, spironolactone treatment reduced hair growth in 17 out of 30 patients with hirsutism, but was less effective compared to cyproterone acetate–estrogen therapy.

This review explores the role of neutrophil recruitment in the inflammation seen in hidradenitis suppurativa and emphasizes potential therapeutic targets within these pathways, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the use of laser and light-based devices for hair removal, highlighting their effectiveness in significantly reducing hair growth in individuals with fair skin and dark hair, and suggests that photoepilation offers advantages over traditional hair removal methods.

This study presents computational modeling and experimental analysis of the HGT protein KAP8.1, identifying key structural features that may influence hair's response to environmental conditions.

This study suggests that in an ex vivo rat glaucoma model, TSPO activation is involved in Allopregnanolone synthesis and may help prevent retinal damage, with TSPO agonists as potential therapeutic agents.

This study found that keratoacanthoma of the lip likely arises from outer root sheath cells, based on the presence of specific keratin markers and periodic acid-Schiff staining patterns.

In this study, detailed examinations of alopecic lesions in two female Cronkhite-Canada syndrome patients suggested hair regrowth might occur without systemic corticosteroids if not required for gastrointestinal treatment, and hair loss may begin with anagen-telogen transition.

In this study, cyproterone acetate treatment in hirsute women resulted in a 19% reduction in hair growth rate and a 33% improvement in physician-rated hirsutism scores.

In this study of premenopausal Iranian women with hirsutism, polycystic ovary syndrome was a common cause and frequently associated with menstrual irregularity, while elevated androgens or hyperandrogenic conditions were also observed.

This study reported that high-dose mizoribin therapy may be effective and safe for managing steroid-dependent pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus but requires monitoring of serum uric acid levels due to potential side effects.

This study found that serum PSA levels are higher in hirsute women and can be significantly reduced by antiandrogen treatment, suggesting PSA as a marker of androgen action in females.

This article discusses the complex pathogenesis of hirsutism and reports no new clinical results; further research is needed for better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

This study successfully developed a method to measure four flavonoids from Platycladus orientalis leaves in rat plasma, which was used in a pharmacokinetic study on healthy rats.

In this study, the researchers identified CEP135 as a biomarker linked to poor sarcoma survival and suggested PLK1 as a potential therapeutic target for sarcoma patients with high CEP135 expression.

This systematic review identified robust biomarkers associated with hidradenitis suppurativa and confirmed potential drugs for repurposing, highlighting key pathogenetic pathways and their links to comorbid disorders.

This article is a letter to the editor about high-dose pulsed corticosteroid therapy combined with methotrexate for severe childhood alopecia areata and provides no new clinical results.

This study identified two prevalent and one newly proposed founder LIPH mutations in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and associated these mutations with different severities of hair loss.

This study examined variations in epidermal thickness and protein expression across different dog breeds, finding significant differences by anatomical site and breed, with associated mRNA and protein expression changes observed.

This study found that diffuse alopecia in HIV-1-infected patients is characterized by higher rates of follicular stem cell apoptosis compared to controls, suggesting a hair cycle disturbance associated with the infection.

This review discusses various treatments for hirsutism, including cosmetic techniques, anti-androgens like spironolactone, and new drugs such as finasteride and flutamide, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that the cell membrane complex in hair cuticles contains hydrophilic regions with disulfide bonds allowing polymer uptake and hydrophobic lamella-like lipid layers.

The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excessive hair growth are temporary and not well-studied.

This study observed that in cases of moderately severe male-pattern hirsutism, elevated free plasma androgen levels occur in 85% of patients, suggesting a subtle hyperandrogenic state as a common underlying factor.

This article discusses cultural perspectives on hirsutism and hypertrichosis and reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived skin organoids, used to model epidermolysis bullosa, have an epidermal-dermal junction largely lacking type VII collagen, which is important for skin structure.

In this study, symptom clusters in people living with HIV were relatively consistent across different symptom experiences and may help develop targeted interventions for managing multiple symptoms simultaneously.
