This review summarizes the association between 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and depression, discussing potential mechanisms such as neuroactive steroid alterations and neuroinflammation, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that blocking neurosteroid synthesis in pregnant sheep increased HPA axis activity, particularly under stress, suggesting neurosteroids help modulate stress response.

This study found that arylsulfatase enzymes in hair follicles can convert the active form of minoxidil back to its inactive form, potentially affecting its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study suggests that hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR) may be an effective alternative to tretinoin for anti-aging skin treatments, offering similar collagen production benefits without increased skin irritation.

This study discusses hormonal changes in gastroesophageal reflux disease that may affect sebaceous gland secretion but does not report new clinical results, suggesting a need for collaborative research in gastroenterology and dermatology.

This study found that minoxidil in Espumil Foam Base remains stable for at least 90 days when stored at room temperature and protected from light.

This study optimized and validated a dissolution test method for immediate-release finasteride capsules, highlighting the need for an official standard due to variability in commercial products.

This study demonstrated that a flow injection method using potassium permanganate for detecting minoxidil provided accurate recoveries and agreed closely with HPLC results, showing potential for effective analysis of commercial samples.

HPV 60 may cause cysts and warts on the face, not just hands and feet.

This study used a novel HPLC-radiomatic flow scintillation system to measure 5α-reductase activity in dermal papillae from miniaturized hair follicles of the human occipital scalp, revealing significant variability in enzyme activity across samples.

This case series reported incidents of iatrogenic Cushing's Syndrome linked to high doses of intralesional corticosteroid injections and mesotherapy regimens, highlighting the need for cautious prescription practices and further research on mesotherapy safety.

In this study, only European-ancestry females showed a linear increase in cutaneous malignant melanoma risk with age, potentially due to the loss of HPV-infected androgenic follicles after menopause.

This study concluded that Finasteride can be effectively delivered in matrix tablets using different polymer ratios for sustained release.

Warts in HIV-positive men can have serious abnormal cell growth, needing careful analysis and treatment to prevent cancer.

This study concluded that placental mesenchymal stem cells from aborted fetal tissue may serve as an in vitro model for studying spontaneous abortion mechanisms and potential regenerative therapies due to their abnormal gene expression and differentiation capabilities.

This study developed three spectrophotometric methods to effectively measure finasteride in bulk and tablet forms, providing accurate results that align closely with labeled claims.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations, suggesting hyperactivation of the HPA axis may affect metabolic and inflammatory markers in those with elevated cortisol levels.

This study reviewed the progress in developing induced platelets from human stem cells as an alternative source to meet clinical demands, although challenges remain for large-scale production and clinical application.

This review summarizes current evidence on how beta-human papillomavirus and Merkel cell polyomavirus may contribute to the development of nonmelanoma and Merkel cell skin carcinomas, respectively, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study demonstrated that herbal therapy with oil extract increased triglyceride content in dog hair, suggesting potential benefits on coat quality that require further investigation.

Researchers created a reliable method to measure dexpanthenol and resorcinol in hair products.

This article reviews how the skin's peripheral stress response system mirrors the central HPA axis, facilitating local homeostasis under stress, but presents no new findings.

This study found that minoxidil was released 50% less from creams than from lotions, with a similar release profile across different lotion formulations, suggesting a specific vehicle composition for topical use.

This study introduced a method to isolate and separate microfibrillar proteins from human hair, identifying previously undetected glycine- and tyrosine-rich proteins.

This study found that forming inclusion complexes of DPCP with HPβCD using the 3D ground mixture method enhances its anti-inflammatory activity at lower doses compared to complexes with β-CD.

This research suggests that autism's genetic links are partially related to factors influencing physiological sex differences, with rare variants interacting with placental sex differences and common variants affecting steroid-related traits.

This study developed and validated a simple, accurate, and sensitive HPTLC method for estimating minoxidil and aminexil in topical solutions, demonstrating effective separation and linear measurement of these compounds with %RSD under 2% and high regression coefficients.

This study found that human placenta extract may be a promising pulp-capping material, causing less intense chronic inflammation and thicker dentine bridge formation compared to mineral trioxide aggregate in dogs' teeth.

This study found that higher levels of cortisol (F) and cortisone (E) in hair before stroke onset were significantly associated with post-stroke depression and anxiety, suggesting they could serve as potential predictors for these mood disorders.

This study observed that men with anogenital warts had higher prevalence of HPV6/11 in their regional hair samples compared to healthy controls, and patients with HPV6/11-positive hairs were more likely to have visible warts at subsequent visits.
