This study identifies six novel keratin genes from the chromosome 17q21.2 region, suggesting their association with hair follicles, while all 27 keratin genes in the domain have been characterized transcriptionally.

This study found that reduced cytokinin levels allow plants to adapt to low potassium conditions by enhancing root hair growth, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and expression of a key potassium transporter gene.

This chapter reviews the development of skin-specific outcome instruments for autoimmune diseases like cutaneous lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis, highlighting a need for a broader community-involved process across other diseases but reports no new results.

This abstract highlights that Hickey and colleagues provided an overview of non-hormonal treatments for menopausal symptoms but missed discussing female pattern hair loss (FPHL), a common issue during menopause.

This paper discusses polycystic ovary syndrome with a focus on androgen excess as the primary symptom and notes that insulin resistance may contribute to it in many patients, but provides no new research findings.

This study observed that 70.7% of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia stabilized with treatment, and patients using 0.3% tacrolimus were more likely to stabilize in 3 months compared to other treatments.

This review discusses the diagnosis and treatment of hirsutism, emphasizing that a systematic evaluation can determine its cause, while combination therapy effectively manages the condition for most patients.

This review discusses the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study found that approximately 75% of women with PCOS exhibited hyperandrogenemia, with free testosterone being the most frequently elevated marker.

This article reviews the diagnostic criteria and prevalence of PCOS, emphasizing its status as the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, with no new clinical results reported.

This review discusses the dermatologic manifestations of hyperandrogenism in women and outlines the diagnostic approach and treatment options, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study, the researchers found that worse sleep scores were associated with progression of lower urinary tract symptoms and suggestively linked to their development in asymptomatic men.

This review explores the evaluation and treatment of hirsutism, emphasizing a systematic approach to uncovering its causes and recommending combination therapies for effective management, but presents no new results.

This review summarizes the cell type distribution and functional significance of human keratins, emphasizing their roles in tumor diagnosis and potential clinical applications, and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, polycystic ovary syndrome was the most prevalent cause of androgen excess, and suppressive hormonal therapy improved hirsutism, menstrual dysfunction, and acne in most patients, though side effects were common.

This review discusses the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome and cardiovascular risk, noting a possible adverse impact on risk profiles and subclinical atherosclerosis but no clear increase in premenopausal cardiovascular events; it presents no new clinical results.

This study estimates the total cost of evaluating and treating polycystic ovary syndrome in reproductive-aged women in the United States to be $4.36 billion, suggesting more liberal screening could be beneficial.

This study found that super-enhancers are essential for hair follicle stem cell identity, lineage commitment, and plasticity in mice, with SOX9 being a key regulator of these chromatin dynamics.

This review examines various methods for assessing hair growth in women, highlighting the usefulness of the mFG visual scoring method for diagnosing hirsutism despite its limitations.

Keratins are crucial for cell structure, growth, and disease risk.

This study found that beard hair medulla cells express an unexpected range of keratins, showing variability and promiscuous behavior in keratin interactions distinct from other hair follicle cells.

This review discusses the features of regulatory T cells and the modulation of Foxp3, emphasizing post-translational modifications' impact on Treg function but reports no new clinical results.

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 the creation of hair follicle lumens in mice is driven by the outward migration of keratin 79-positive cells, suggesting a novel mechanism for generating hollow cores in hair follicles.

This chapter reviews keratins in skin epithelia, including their roles in cellular function and disease, and reports no new experimental results.

This paper discusses the limitations of clinical trials in evaluating combination treatment regimens for Alzheimer's disease and ischemic stroke, highlighting the extensive resources required for such trials.

This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.

This study found that dutasteride pretreatment reduced certain sedative effects of alcohol and may decrease drinking behavior in adult men, likely by impacting neuroactive steroid levels.

This study found that the protein hairless acts as both a corepressor and coactivator of the vitamin D receptor, influencing gene transcription in a ligand-selective manner.

This review discusses the structure and function of steroid nuclear receptors, particularly focusing on androgen receptor dysregulation in prostate cancer and androgen insensitivity syndromes, without reporting new experimental results.
