This case study reported that absence of alopecia does not reliably predict responsiveness to vitamin D treatment in Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, as demonstrated by a patient with normal hair growth who showed extreme resistance.

Type I keratin genes are closely linked to the rex locus on mouse chromosome 11, affecting hair development.

In this study, long-term use of finasteride did not negatively impact bone mineral density in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia over a 4-year period.

This study found that MK-386 selectively suppressed sebum DHT levels in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting potential use for treating acne.

This study found that in rodent diabetes models, measuring corticosterone levels in new growth hair was more sensitive to hyperglycemia-induced changes than using old hair or serum samples.

This study found that GI198745 acts as a time-dependent inhibitor of rat 5α-reductase type 2 but a rapid-equilibrium inhibitor of type 1, potentially making it more effective than finasteride in preventing rat prostate growth.

This study found that monilethrix in three unrelated European families is linked to the type II keratin gene cluster on chromosome 12q13, with no evidence of defects in type I keratins.

This study found two patterns of Type 2 SLE symptoms: Intermittent symptoms resolving with Type 1 symptom remission and Persistent symptoms continuing regardless of Type 1 symptom activity.

This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 developed basal cell carcinomas at a younger age than the general population, suggesting a possible predisposition in this group.

This correspondence describes two patients with both epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Dowling-Meara type, and loose anagen hair syndrome, an association not previously reported in the literature.

This study identified a new isozyme, 5α-reductase-3, at the mRNA level in human prostate tissue, but its protein expression and cellular localization remain unclear.

MK-386 reduces sebum DHT levels.

This study investigated the impact of the JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib on APS-1 patients, reporting that treatment decreased excessive T-cell-derived interferon-γ, normalized inflammatory markers, and led to remission of several autoimmune symptoms without serious adverse effects.

This study identified a compound heterozygous mutation in the 3 beta-HSD gene that confirmed inherited 3 beta-HSD deficiency in a Pakistani child with salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study found that 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 significantly increased the expression and activity of vasculoprotective natriuretic peptide receptor-A in cultured inner medullary collecting duct cells, suggesting a potential mechanistic role in cardiovascular and renal benefits.

This study identified a novel homozygous EDNRA variant linked to Oro-Oto-Cardiac Syndrome and showed that EDNRA signaling is essential for normal craniofacial and cardiovascular development.

This study found that modified laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity reduced ghrelin levels, improved glycemic and insulin levels, and resulted in significant weight loss.

This study found that although diabetic patients undergoing a very low calorie diet experienced faster weight loss initially, those on a conventional diet and exercise plan maintained weight loss more effectively over five years.

This study reports that hypomorphic alleles of the Ass1 gene in mice resemble human CTLN1, providing a potential model for preclinical studies and indicating that standard treatments for CTLN1 can rescue phenotypes.

This study reported that male military personnel with pneumonia experienced accelerated hair transition to the telogen phase, particularly among smokers and those with androgenic alopecia, indicating potential areas for targeted interventions.

This study discovered that the disposition of LY191704 enantiomers in rats and dogs is both stereoselective and species specific.

This study found that hair loss is common among urban market traders in Nigeria, with a higher prevalence in women and linked to hair care practices like braiding and chemical relaxing.

The researchers reported that compounds 11 to 13 derived from Westphalen-type steroids showed strong antiandrogenic activity in vivo, though their effects could not be attributed to 5α-reductase inhibition or androgen receptor binding.

This article discusses primary cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need for early and precise diagnosis to effectively manage and treat these complex inflammatory hair disorders, but presents no new clinical results.

This study examined young Ukrainian men with alopecia areata and found that different severities of the condition were associated with distinct clinical and trichoscopic features, such as variations in hair loss, stress levels, and nail involvement, among others.

This study found that carefully engineered hydrogels and asymmetric morphogen gradients facilitated the formation of anatomically relevant skin organoids from iPSC-derived EBs, improving pigmentation and hair follicle generation.

This article discusses the factors involved in optimizing laser hair removal, emphasizing patient selection, laser safety, and understanding laser–tissue interactions, but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that androgens, specifically DHT, induced neurite outgrowth in motor neurons by up-regulating the neuritin protein, with testosterone being less effective.

This study found a significant association between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome, highlighting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol as a particularly important factor.
