In a keratinocyte-specific knockout mouse model, this study found that deleting GRK2 disrupted hair follicle homeostasis, causing cyst-like structures, abnormal growth patterns, and eventual hair loss, suggesting potential links to immune-mediated alopecias.

This retrospective cross-section study found that in a cohort of Pica patients in Iraq, 92.4% were female, and many had low levels of ferritin, hemoglobin, and vitamin D, which may contribute to the disorder by causing psychological issues.

This study reported that high cholesterol levels were linked to increased prostate cancer risk, while selenium supplementation affected gene expression, suggesting nutritional and clinical factors might influence prostate cancer risk and biology.

In these initial clinical studies, NAP monotherapy showed significant reductions in HBsAg levels among patients with chronic HBV, suggesting potential as part of future combination therapies.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms by which oncogenic viruses contribute to cancer development through manipulation of host cellular functions and highlights the need for further research into virus-associated cancers, reporting no new results.

This review discusses evidence-based guidance for managing primary cicatricial alopecias but reports no new clinical results, highlighting significant gaps in knowledge and the need for more quality trials.

This review explores how androgens and growth hormone influence the development of terminal hairs and sebaceous glands, attributing variability in hirsutism and acne to differing genetic sensitivities to androgens, but reports no new experimental data.

This review discusses the role of the hedgehog signaling pathway in hematological cancers and its potential as a therapeutic target; it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of tumor suppressors in controlling tumor-associated inflammation and suggests that targeting this inflammation may counteract the effects of tumor suppressor loss.

Negative expectations can cause adverse effects in patients even without active treatment, and managing this nocebo effect involves better communication and patient-clinician relationships.

This study found that GLI2 plays a key role in activating follistatin, an activin/BMP antagonist, in response to hedgehog signaling in human epidermal cells, with implications for hair follicle development and basal cell carcinoma.

This study found that Asian mothers in Leicestershire from 1976 to 1981 had one and a half times the risk of perinatal mortality compared to non-Asian mothers, even when controlling for various factors.

This review found evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of topical minoxidil for treating female pattern hair loss, though many included studies were at high risk of bias.

This study identified the Hairless (Hr) gene-encoded protein as a corepressor that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin and hair by regulating epithelial stem cell differentiation and gene expression via chromatin remodeling, which may impact both development and disease.

In this study, daughters of women with PCOS and control daughters showed no significant differences in metabolic and hormonal parameters, but more PCOS daughters exhibited hirsutism at advanced pubertal stages.

In this study, researchers reported that chronic UV exposure may contribute to androgenic alopecia progression by influencing hair cycle changes and exacerbating solar elastosis in the scalp.

This review discusses the physicochemical properties, binding mechanisms, and factors affecting corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) functions, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the therapeutic use of interferons and other cytokines in various viral, tumorous, and inflammatory diseases, discussing their biological effects and potential future applications without presenting new experimental results.

This review discusses the topical use of systemic drugs for cutaneous disorders and reports a lack of strong evidence from randomized controlled trials, highlighting the need for larger comparative effectiveness studies.

This review discusses the cutaneous side effects of chemotherapy, noting that they frequently involve changes to skin, hair, and nails, and reports no new results.

In this study, early treatment with nitazoxanide, ivermectin, or hydroxychloroquine, combined with azithromycin, was associated with reduced hospitalizations, respiratory complications, and deaths in early-stage COVID-19 patients compared to untreated controls.

This study found that ethanol extract of Tubtim Chumphae rice bran downregulates SRD5A gene expression, similarly to finasteride, suggesting potential use as an anti-hair loss product.

This joint position paper by several Polish medical societies examines guidelines and recommendations for managing conditions like obesity, hypertension, and liver disease, underscoring the importance of a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach in treatment. Results are not explicitly reported.

This study observed that early treatment with azithromycin and either nitazoxanide, ivermectin, or hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 patients may reduce viral shedding, symptom duration, and respiratory complications compared to untreated patients.

This article discusses the role of suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) and the hCG method in obesity management, highlighting the speculative benefits of hCG but reporting no new clinical findings.

This article reviews hair and nail disorders in children, emphasizing their prevalence, congenital and acquired origins, and the diagnostic challenges compared to treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that extracts from Indian gooseberry leaves showed strong antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, with low cytotoxicity, suggesting potential for developing new antimalarial drugs.

This chapter discusses the sources, classifications, and effects of hormones, their role in disease treatment and food security, and reports no new results.

This study found that stress and its related symptoms were highly prevalent among university students in Egypt during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, with most reporting negative coping strategies.

This study suggests that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, alone or with metformin or GLP1RA, may improve metabolic and hormonal parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
