This study suggests that measuring cortisol levels in hair may serve as a useful biomarker for assessing mood in individuals with bipolar disorder over recent months.

This study suggests that progesterone may have a complex role in absence epilepsy, facilitating seizures through conversion to allopregnanolone, but potentially reducing them during pregnancy.

This review discusses recent data on the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids and other steroid compounds and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in androgenetic alopecia, reduced stem cell factor production by dermal papilla cells may lead to decreased pigmentation in hair follicles.

This study identified somatostatin as a potential secretory factor contributing to the immune privilege of human hair follicles.

This review discusses trichotillomania's clinical features, prevalence, and treatment options, highlighting the potential benefits of behavior therapy and pharmacotherapy but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses adverse effects of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, particularly persistent side effects such as post-finasteride syndrome, and highlights the need for further investigation.

This study reported that adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned medium demonstrated anti-tumorigenic effects on B16 melanoma cells both in vitro and in vivo, indicating potential for future melanoma treatment.

This study concluded that the new subfractionation culturing method generates highly homogeneous adipose-derived stem cells with enhanced mitogenic, paracrine, and hair growth-promoting effects compared to traditional isolation methods.

This study reported that a novel chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol nanofiber sponge effectively enhances the hair follicle-inducing ability of dermal papilla multicellular spheroids in a mouse model.

In this study, finasteride was found to inhibit the dopaminergic system and reduce open-field behaviors in adolescent male rats by decreasing dopamine levels and related proteins.

This study identified a genetic variant in the SGK3 gene related to hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds, suggesting a similar role for androgen-independent hair loss in humans.

This study found that the transcriptome of skin stem cells in mice changes significantly with age, revealing specific age-dependent biological programs and transcriptional hubs.

This review highlights that the combination of ultrasound and microneedles can enhance transdermal drug delivery by using physical and energy-driven mechanisms to improve drug penetration into deeper skin layers, with implications for precision medicine and chronic disease treatments.

This research outlines the characteristics and potential applications of a GMP-compliant sodium polyphosphate formulation (Na-polyP-GMP) in cellular energy storage and ATP-dependent processes like skin regeneration and wound healing.

This research concluded that the novel hydrogel PlacMA, derived from human placenta and curable by visible light, shows promise for cell culture and tissue engineering applications due to its tunable properties.

This study suggests that lipin-1 plays a crucial role in keratinocyte differentiation by modulating protein kinase C activity through diacylglycerol levels, with implications for skin biology.

This study found that systemic treatment with DS77754007, a KLK5 inhibitor, improved skin symptoms in a mouse model of Netherton Syndrome more effectively than certain antibody treatments, suggesting KLK5 inhibition as a promising therapeutic approach for this condition.

This case study reported on a 6-year-old boy with Kindler Syndrome born to consanguineous parents, featuring atypical symptoms like hyperpigmented macules and glucose intolerance, contributing to expanding insights into the condition's phenotypic diversity.

In these two clinical trials, DS-2325a, a KLK5 inhibitor, was found to be generally safe and well tolerated in healthy volunteers, with mild and non-serious adverse events, suggesting its potential for further development as a treatment for Netherton Syndrome.

This study found that progesterone's antiseizure effects in mice occurred primarily through conversion to allopregnanolone, rather than through the progesterone receptor, as evidenced by results in PR knockout mice.

This study found that linc-PINT expression was significantly decreased in patients with atrial fibrillation compared to healthy controls, while several TGF-β signaling genes were increased, suggesting a potential role in heart arrhythmias' pathogenesis.

In human hair follicle keratinocytes, this study found that treatment with the pharmacological inhibitor QLT0267 led to a strong inhibition of proliferation and migration and induced nearly 100% apoptosis.

In this study, researchers found that hair follicle stem cells activate an immune-modulatory program during wound healing, promoting Treg cell expansion and aiding skin repair, while deleting certain immune components impaired healing and increased inflammation in a mouse model.

This review discusses the pharmacology and clinical use of finasteride for benign prostatic hyperplasia and reports its effectiveness in reducing prostate size and symptoms, though success varies among patients.

This study found that Middle Eastern patients with epidermolysis bullosa show specific correlations between their genetic variants and clinical features, which may aid in diagnosis and genetic counseling.

In this study with a mouse model of catamenial epilepsy, ferulic acid may effectively reduce seizure susceptibility and depression-like behavior by influencing hormone levels and neurotransmitter activity.

In this study, PINCH-1 gene loss in mouse epidermis led to detachment from the basement membrane, thickened skin, and hair loss, with findings suggesting PINCH-1 plays a role in keratinocyte adhesion through both ILK and EPLIN pathways.

This study identified Sciellin, a new protein precursor to the cornified envelope in keratinocytes, with unique solubility properties hinting at its potential role in envelope assembly.

A 12-year-old with ichthyosis linearis circumflexa showed significant improvement after 30 sessions of narrowband UVB phototherapy, as reported in this case study.
