This review discusses the roles of androgens and androgen receptors in skin-related disorders and suggests that targeting androgen receptors may be a more effective treatment strategy.

This study found that hair follicles in both mice and humans may serve as an important site for melatonin synthesis and signaling, potentially influencing hair cycle regulation by modulating keratinocyte apoptosis.

The document describes how to tell different types of non-scarring hair loss apart by looking at hair and scalp tissue under a microscope.

This review article provides an updated overview of the pharmacology, mechanism of action, clinical efficacy, and adverse events associated with topical minoxidil, a widely used treatment for androgenetic alopecia and other hair loss conditions, while noting that its exact mechanism is still not fully understood.

Minoxidil is the only FDA-approved topical drug for treating male or female pattern hair loss, and other medications like finasteride and dutasteride can also increase hair growth.

This article reviews the history and impacts of direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs in the U.S. and reports no new research findings; it discusses implications for health policy debates.

This study identified a distinct "exogen" phase in the hair cycle during which hair shedding occurs, primarily coupled with the anagen phase, rather than as part of the telogen phase.

In this study, sequences upstream of the TGM3 gene were found to regulate epithelial-specific gene expression in keratinocytes, suggesting potential applications in gene therapy.

This article reviews various causes of diffuse hair loss, highlighting the importance of identifying triggers through thorough examination for effective treatment and emphasizing patient education in management; it reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews evidence- and consensus-based recommendations for using pegvaliase in adults with PKU and reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that minoxidil activates PGHS-1, which may explain its hair growth-stimulating effects and could aid in designing more potent hair growth-promoting drugs.

This article reviews patient selection and treatment protocols for various light-based hair removal systems but presents no new clinical results.

This article reviews the characteristics and classification of SAHA syndrome and its relationship with other conditions, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review discusses diagnostic approaches for women with diffuse, nonscarring hair loss and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the causes, clinical presentation, and management of anagen effluvium, emphasizing its psychological impact and the need for empathy and practical support, but reports no new results.

This review discusses potential mechanisms contributing to higher COVID-19 mortality among men, particularly the roles of smoking, genetic factors, and reproductive hormones, without presenting new clinical findings.

This article reviews major types of genetic hair shaft defects and associated syndromes, emphasizing understanding histologic features and diagnostic methods, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of Prostaglandin D2 and its synthase in androgenetic alopecia but reports no new clinical findings, suggesting pathways for future therapeutic development.

This study found that increasing a drug's lipophilicity and adding ethanol to the donor phase can enhance its delivery to the hair follicle, although the precise transport mechanism remains unclear.

This article reviews emerging treatments for androgenetic alopecia, including topical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and prostaglandin modulators, but reports no clinical results and calls for further efficacy evidence, especially for PRP.

This study found that loose anagen hair syndrome is a common form of alopecia in young girls, typically presenting with thin, sparse hair and usually confirmed by a hair-pull test.

This review discusses various skin lesions associated with endocrinologic disorders such as Cushing's syndrome and adrenal insufficiency, and it reports no new clinical results.

This review provides a framework for diagnosing acquired scalp alopecias and discusses both non-scarring and scarring types, but reports no new clinical results.

This review explores recent findings on the roles of melanocyte and melanocyte stem cells in the hair follicle, highlighting their importance for skin health and potential applications in regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the diagnostic criteria and guidelines for managing loose anagen syndrome and differentiating it from non-scarring alopecias, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that enhanced expression of the Sonic hedgehog gene via an adenovirus vector accelerated hair regrowth in mice with chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This article reviews the clinicopathologic features of short anagen syndrome in a child and suggests diagnostic methods like clinical examination and scalp hair growth rate measurement, without reporting new clinical results.

This article provides a framework for understanding hair disorders and treatment options in transgender individuals undergoing hormonal therapy and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, all four cases of congenital alopecia areata experienced periods of remission, with clobetasol propionate 0.05% achieving full hair regrowth in half of the patients treated.

This study reports that structural abnormalities in the inner root sheath of hair follicles may cause the hair shaft to be loosely attached in patients with loose anagen hair syndrome.
