This study suggests that AKR1C3 expression may influence PGD2-related pathways in skin squamous cell carcinoma and potentially be involved in androgenetic alopecia, although further investigation is needed to clarify its role.

In this case report, a 58-year-old man's 30-year undiagnosed pruritic rash in the pubic area was successfully treated with topical ketoconazole after being identified as white piedra using a Wood lamp.

This study concluded that cimetidine did not significantly affect hair growth in women with hirsutism, despite a notable decrease in urine 17-ketosteroids.

This article reviews the potential male equivalent of polycystic ovarian syndrome, focusing on hormonal alterations and premature androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the need for further studies on adrenal steroids and other factors.

This study found that androgen inactivation pathways in scalp sebaceous glands change with age, specifically noting that AKR1C expression, including AKR1C4 previously thought liver-specific, declines with age and is sex dependent, which could impact hair follicle health during aging.

This research reported that AKR1C enzyme expression, particularly AKR1C4, in scalp sebaceous glands decreases with age, suggesting potential age-related changes in androgen metabolism affecting hair follicle health. Additionally, sulforaphane treatment increased AKR1C expression in related cell types.

In this study, researchers found that androgen receptor expression and AKR1C-mediated androgen inactivation, including AKR1C4, are prominent in scalp sebaceous glands, with AKR1C expression decreasing with age and differing by sex, suggesting these changes may impact hair follicle health as people age.

This study used Mendelian randomization analysis to identify Scyllo-inositol and Alpha-ketoglutarate as potential protective factors and Heme and 2-palmitoylglycerophosphocholine as risk factors for androgenic alopecia, suggesting a causal link between these metabolites and the condition.

This study found that while 11-oxyandrogens do not aid in diagnosing PCOS, they correlate with hirsutism severity, and 11-ketotestosterone levels decrease with combined oral contraceptive therapy.

This study found that mosaic mutations in the CARD14 gene are linked to inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal naevus in two patients, who experienced significant improvement with the IL12/IL23 inhibitor Ustekinumab.

This study identified that α-ketobutyrate (α-KB) extends lifespan and improves health markers in Caenorhabditis elegans and aged mice by modulating pyruvate metabolism and activating AMPK pathways, with potential implications for human anti-aging treatments.

This study reported that small molecules such as α-ketoglutarate, α-ketobutyrate, rapamycin, and metformin may stimulate hair regeneration by activating autophagy pathways.

This study reports that hair regeneration can be stimulated by small molecules like α-ketoglutarate, α-ketobutyrate, rapamycin, and metformin, which activate autophagy pathways.

This study found that prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in human keratinocytes through a mechanism involving ROS and REDOX potential, which could inform treatments for androgenic alopecia.

Some alternative treatments may help with hair loss, but more evidence is needed to confirm their effectiveness.

This review discusses potential cosmeceutical treatments for hair loss, including ingredients like procyanidins and isoflavones, but does not present new clinical outcomes; the authors highlight the promise of further research.

This study found that while 11-oxyandrogens are linked to excess hair growth, they do not aid in diagnosing PCOS and require further research to determine their clinical utility.

This study found that two novel nonsteroidal derivatives inhibited specific enzymes in vitro and in vivo, leading to dihydrotestosterone accumulation in androgen-dependent glands, suggesting potential therapeutic use for mood improvement in the elderly.

This study developed a non-invasive, partially automated protocol for extracting high-quality DNA from hair follicles of marmosets, significantly reducing chimerism rates compared to blood, and proving reliable for whole genome sequencing in low-input DNA scenarios.

This review explores research on nanoformulations for enhancing the topical delivery of herbal medicines, noting potential benefits like improved bioavailability and sustained delivery, and emphasizes the need for safety and toxicity guidelines in developing these novel drug delivery systems.

This study suggests that genetic factors significantly influence adrenal androgen levels and the progression of puberty, with adrenal cortex maturation appearing independent of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

This study identified four proteins that differ between Type III and non-Type III hair in Yangtze River Delta white goats, contributing to understanding the development of high-quality brush hair.

This study successfully synthesized novel cercidin analogues from Cercidophyllum japonicum, confirming their structure via NMR data. The researchers suggest these compounds could facilitate future antibiotic development by advancing structure-activity-relationship studies.

This study found that using histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution with adenosine triphosphate and deferoxamine for hair graft preservation significantly reduced postsurgical shedding compared to Ringer solution, enhancing patient satisfaction.

New patents include innovations in skin and hair care, disease treatment, plant stress tolerance, and protein purification.

This meeting summary discusses scalp management and the use of topical ketoconazole in therapeutic hair care, but it reports no new research findings.

This meeting summary discusses insights from leading dermatologists on scalp management and topical ketoconazole use, but it reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the management options for recurrent ischemic priapism, noting that ketoconazole, finasteride, and other hormonal therapies may be effective but can have significant side effects; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that oil extracted from Prinsepia utilis seeds is physicochemically stable and suitable for use in manufacturing ketoconazole soap, which met quality control standards and may provide a cost-effective alternative to expensive additives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.

This study utilized a UHPLC-HRMS method to identify eight active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as ketoconazole and minoxidil, in 26 out of 100 analyzed cosmetic products.
