This review discusses the role of keratin-associated proteins in the growth and characteristics of wool and hair fibres from sheep and goats, and highlights areas for future research, but it presents no new findings.

Some overweight or obese men with long-term frontal fibrosing alopecia may have abnormal sex hormone levels.

This review found that while treating keratosis pilaris is challenging, current therapies can lead to significant improvement, particularly when tailored to the individual's specific disease phenotype and concerns.

In this study, treatment with oral JAK inhibitors was associated with improved disease outcomes in 80.6% of patients with refractory lichen planopilaris over a mean duration of 5 months.

Hair loss is more common in summer and fall.

This study developed a polyherbal powder shampoo utilizing natural ingredients, with formulation F6 demonstrating optimal cleaning action and foaming index, along with satisfactory physicochemical properties, making it the preferred formula among the tested variations.

This study identified an association between the FTO gene and susceptibility to PCOS, providing the first genetic evidence linking PCOS to obesity.

A man had a non-cancerous, fast-growing skin lump on his arm that was removed with surgery.

In this study, researchers observed that overweight Taiwanese women with PCOS who carry the HSD3B1 1245C allele have a significantly higher risk of developing androgenic alopecia compared to those with the wild-type allele.

This study found that curcumin may improve glycemic control and certain aspects of lipid metabolism in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that bloating is the most frequently reported symptom and a main predictor of polycystic ovary syndrome among women using the Flo app across five countries.

This study reports that severe androgenic alopecia prevalence in young Caucasian men increases with age, varies by region, and that body mass index may be a risk factor.

This study found no predictive link between mothers’ PCOS symptoms and the adolescent phenotype, but identified certain gene alleles associated with higher testosterone levels in affected adolescents.

This study found that mindfulness was associated with certain demographic factors in women with PCOS, with the duration of marriage being a significant predictor.

This review discusses various treatments for androgenic alopecia, highlighting FDA-approved options and other commonly used therapies, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers analyzed hair from different regions of Malvi cattle and found significant variations in color, shape, and band pattern, although the medullary index remained consistent between 0.50 and 0.60 across the samples.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

In this pilot study of Indonesians, the rs1998076 genetic variant was not significantly linked to androgenetic alopecia, though the GG genotype showed a non-significant trend toward higher odds, while clinical factors like age and hypertension were correlated with increased risk.

In this study, 26.66% of vitiligo patients had a familial occurrence, indicating that genetic variations significantly contribute to the disease's etiology.

In this study, no significant change in androgen receptor gene expression was found in females with recurrent spontaneous abortion, but a mutant genotype may offer some protection against the condition.

This study reviewed the medical literature on generalized woolly hair and reported that while there are no effective treatments, some narratives suggest that topical Minoxidil may help with hypotrichosis associated with the condition.

This narrative review explores gender differences in the epidemiology, risk factors, and effects of COVID-19, emphasizing the need for further analysis using comprehensive gender indicators to shape effective public health strategies and policies.

This review discusses the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing alopecia and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing its role in identifying vascular and follicular features.

This study highlights that insulin resistance is a key pathological feature for individuals with PCOS, particularly those with obesity, affecting the response of specialized cells and leading to increased inflammation, regardless of Body Mass Index differences within the PCOS population.

In this study, researchers found that none of the participants were color blind and reported varying lengths of index and ring fingers among them, exploring a possible link between these finger length ratios and sex-influenced gene expression.

This study links scalp pruritus in lichen planopilaris and its variants to the inflammation-induced release of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide by sensory nerves around hair follicle inflammation sites.

This study suggests that a newly identified KRT 71 gene variant may be responsible for curly hair in Curly Coated Retrievers and potentially contributes to follicular dysplasia.

This study found that chemical elements, particularly hair selenium, may indicate nutritional status in older adults, with variations observed by age and gender.

This study investigated the hair of German shepherd dogs, revealing variations in color, shape, and band patterns across different body regions, while all hair types shared similar anatomical structures such as continuous, vacuolated medullas and cuticular scales with smooth or rippled margins.

This study found that the structure and mineral content of dromedary camel hair, specifically the medulla patterns, medulla index, and elemental composition, change with age, revealing differences among camels aged 1 year, 3-5 years, and 8-10 years.
