This case series reported that three pediatric patients with hidradenitis suppurativa showed decreased frequency and severity of disease flares after treatment with oral finasteride, with no significant adverse effects.

This study identified 16 novel high sulfur KAP genes and two KAP pseudogenes on chromosome 21q23, showing expression in a specific region of the hair fiber cuticle.

This study found that combining a GnRH agonist with a low-dose oral contraceptive was more effective in treating hirsutism than either agent alone and prevented hypoestrogenic side effects.

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa significantly impaired quality of life in German patients, with severity linked to skin and certain extra-cutaneous changes, but not reduced by surgical or conventional medicamentous treatments.

This review discusses the local production and role of sex steroids in the hippocampal neurons of adult rodents and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that combining adult germinative epidermal cells with non-inductive dermal cells can stimulate hair follicle neogenesis, effectively altering the cells' status to enhance induction.

This study found that while laser hair removal improves quality of life for women with facial hirsutism, emotional benefits diminish over 30 months and additional treatments may be necessary to maintain improvements.

This study found that spironolactone reduced testosterone production and urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion, leading to a decrease in hair growth rate and a change in hair texture in women.

In this study, transcriptome analysis suggested that lipid metabolism and apoptosis may be key factors influencing hair length differences between short-hair and long-hair rabbits.

In this study, the researchers optimized the extraction conditions for crude polysaccharide from Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaves, achieving a yield of 9.66% and demonstrated strong antioxidant activities in vitro.

This study found that the prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis was significantly higher in Italian patients with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to controls, suggesting that these patients should be screened for the condition.

This study found that cyproterone acetate, given with ethinyl oestradiol, significantly reduced hirsutism in women after 12 months, although improvements reversed once cyproterone acetate was stopped.

This review discusses novel molecular techniques in skin appendage research and summarizes the distribution of key molecules, but it reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the complex interaction between androgens and hair follicle biology, highlighting the need for a better understanding to improve hirsutism treatments, but reports no new results.

This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells maintained their proliferation and differentiation potential when cultured with acidic fibroblast growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, or epidermal growth factor.

This review discusses the historical development of hair straightening products for Afro-ethnic hair and reports no new research findings.

Antiandrogens, particularly flutamide and CPA, are most effective for treating hirsutism, with long-term use needed for best results.

This study used proteomics to identify various proteins in human hair, which may help develop novel biomarkers for hair health, disease, and aging.

This study reports that oral spironolactone may be a useful and low-cost first-line treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa in women, with relatively few side effects.

This study found that hinokitiol effectively suppressed TNF-α production in activated macrophage-like cells, suggesting it may help alleviate hair loss by mitigating factors that promote follicular apoptosis.

This review discusses the management of hirsutism and acne in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting the partial effectiveness of current treatments and suggesting a combined approach of medication and hair removal.

This study suggests that cigarette smoking is a significant risk factor for hidradenitis suppurativa in Polish patients, but other potential contributors like obesity and diabetes showed no strong associations.

This review highlights that idiopathic hirsutism is characterized by local hyperandrogenization affecting hair growth, without other signs of hyperandrogenism, and shows no new results; racial differences in prevalence are noted but not in androgenic steroids.

In this study of 20 patients with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, using trichoscopy improved diagnosis, and treatments with high-potency steroids or topical tacrolimus effectively reduced inflammatory signs, suggesting these as first-line treatments.

Other common signs, not just the well-known immune cells around hair bulbs, are important for diagnosing hair loss from alopecia areata.

This study found that an 8-month treatment with a low-dose oral contraceptive significantly reduced testosterone levels and hair growth in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and hirsutism, with minimal side effects.

This review discusses the association between various skin conditions and metabolic syndrome, reporting no new clinical results but suggesting a potential reciprocal relationship that warrants further investigation.

This article provides diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for hidradenitis suppurativa based on a systematic literature search and expert consensus, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that hirsutism significantly negatively impacts quality of life, with self-assessed severity more strongly linked to quality-of-life impact and depressive symptoms than clinician assessments.

This study found that normal mode ruby laser treatment for hirsutism is well tolerated and results in significant hair count reduction for at least six months, with multiple treatments offering greater effects.
