This article reviews the roles of lesser-known secreted phospholipase A2 isoforms in various biological processes, such as immune suppression, metabolic regulation, epidermal hyperplasia, and male reproduction, without reporting new clinical findings.

Higher thyroid hormone levels may be linked to certain types of polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that finasteride selectively inhibited UGT1A4 in vitro but is unlikely to cause clinically significant drug interactions mediated through hepatic UGT enzymes in vivo.

This study found that among patients with alopecia areata treated with the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib, 34% achieved complete regrowth of eyebrows and 39% achieved complete regrowth of eyelashes, highlighting differences in treatment responses across hair-bearing sites.

This study found that superficial cryotherapy significantly increased hair density and thickness in treated eyebrows compared to untreated controls after 5 months in patients with alopecia areata.

In this study, photodynamic therapy was found to achieve permanent reduction of nonpigmented hair in mice, unlike an 800-nm diode laser, by targeting the hair matrix through repeated sessions.

This study found that the cross-section trichometer (HairCheck device) can accurately and sensitively measure hair mass index changes, offering a convenient tool for assessing hair density and diameter in patients with alopecia.

This case report describes a 51-year-old male who developed localized hair growth exclusively at sites of repeated cupping therapy on the neck and shoulder, suggesting a possible link between long-term cupping and localized acquired hypertrichosis.

This study evaluated the accuracy of the HairCheck device, a cross-section trichometer, and concluded that it effectively measures changes in hair diameter and density for assessing alopecia progression and treatment response.

This study found that certain polymorphisms in EGF and EGFR genes may increase susceptibility to alopecia areata in the Korean population, and these genetic variations could be associated with specific symptoms such as nail involvement and body hair loss.

In this study, the HairCheck device was reported to accurately assess changes in hair density and diameter, suggesting its usefulness in monitoring alopecia progression and treatment response.

This review discusses the role of the JAK-STAT pathway in autoimmune skin diseases and suggests potential therapeutic benefits of JAK inhibitors, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that alopecia areata is linked with a higher prevalence of systemic and psychiatric diseases, suggesting that physicians should monitor for these potential comorbidities.

This review considers oxidative stress effects on hair aging and emphasizes the need for dermatologists to recognize and treat factors affecting scalp and hair health, but it provides no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers found that Asian hair contains more integral lipids than European or African hair, which may protect it better from UV-induced damage.

This review discusses characteristics of androgenetic alopecia in Asian patients and includes algorithmic management guidelines, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, red ginseng extract and its ginsenosides enhanced human hair follicle cell proliferation and countered dihydrotestosterone-induced suppression, suggesting potential to promote hair growth.

This study found that smoking, obesity, and family history are significant risk factors for premature hair graying in young men.

This study found that 1% ketoconazole and 1% piroctone olamine shampoos increased hair shaft thickness and reduced hair shedding in men with telogen effluvium and androgenic alopecia associated with dandruff.

In this study using a mouse model and human hair follicle cells, shikimic acid was found to promote hair growth and may serve as a new therapeutic agent for alopecia.

Smartphone-based teledermatology is effective for diagnosing skin diseases in the military with good accuracy.

This study found that non-ablative fractional erbium glass laser treatment affected gene regulation in human skin models by downregulating MMP and interleukin expression, suggesting potential roles in dermal remodeling and anti-inflammatory effects.

This study suggests that finasteride may affect hair follicle growth by altering the expression of caspases and XIAP, potentially regulating the anagen phase of hair growth.

This study reports that finasteride treatment in men with androgenetic alopecia appears to restore caspase and XIAP expression in hair follicles to levels similar to those in individuals without the condition.

This study reported that Ell-Cranell® alpha 0.025% solution significantly increased hair counts and diameter in Korean women with female pattern hair loss over an 8-month period, showing both efficacy and safety.

This study found that dutasteride 0.5 mg was generally well-tolerated and led to overall improvement in male patients aged 18 to 41 with androgenic alopecia in a Korean clinical practice setting.

In this study, Korean Red Ginseng showed protective effects against chemotherapy-induced premature hair follicle aging in an in vitro model by modulating specific cellular protein expressions.

This study found that follicular unit transplantation is an effective and relatively safe treatment for cicatricial alopecia in Chinese patients, delivering satisfactory postoperative results.

This meta-analysis found that treating male androgenetic alopecia with 5α-reductase inhibitors increases the risk of sexual dysfunction, with a statistically significant risk for finasteride but not for dutasteride.

This case report described a 12-year-old girl initially misdiagnosed with alopecia areata who showed improvement in trichotillomania symptoms after treatment with psychotropic drugs and N-acetylcysteine, highlighting the need for more research to develop standardized treatment guidelines for this chronic condition.
