This integrative literature review reported that herbal therapies may be a promising alternative for treating hair disorders like androgenetic alopecia, potentially offering similar efficacy to conventional treatments but with fewer side effects.

In this study, distinct androgen excess subtypes were identified in women with PCOS, with the adrenal androgen excess cluster showing significantly higher rates of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, suggesting 11-oxygenated androgens as potential drivers of metabolic risk.

This review discusses bio-based polymers, highlighting their potential in wound healing applications, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, transcutaneously applied nanoparticles and viral vectors were shown to penetrate murine hair follicles, internalize in antigen-presenting cells, and induce immune responses, suggesting a promising approach for vaccine delivery.

Minoxidil affects rat fluid dynamics, altering pressure and circulation, improving blood flow and hair growth.

Tofacitinib partially improved hair regrowth in a patient with severe hair loss.

This study identified distinct plasma miRNA profiles in alopecia areata that may aid in diagnosis and therapy, but further validation is needed to confirm these exploratory findings.

This study observed distinct plasma miRNA profiles in alopecia areata, identifying several miRNAs downregulated in both mild and severe forms; machine learning models demonstrated strong predictive accuracy, and kinase inhibitors were suggested as promising therapeutic targets based on pathway analysis.

This study identified a unique circulating microRNA signature associated with severe alopecia areata, distinguishing it from other inflammatory skin conditions and suggesting these miRNAs as non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosis and potential therapeutic targets.

In this study, the authors reported that the laparoscopic single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass was associated with effective weight loss and improvement in obesity-related comorbidities within 6 months post-surgery.

Changes in hair follicle structure may help diagnose and monitor alopecia.

This article reviews the polycystic ovary syndrome as a polyendocrine disease, detailing its etiology, pathogenesis, and research methods, but presents no new clinical results.

This study found no predictive link between mothers’ PCOS symptoms and the adolescent phenotype, but identified certain gene alleles associated with higher testosterone levels in affected adolescents.

This study found that while genetic ancestry affects physical appearance traits in Latin American populations, it accounts for only a modest portion of the observed variation.

In this study, researchers identified 18 genetic associations with scalp and facial hair traits in Latin Americans, including novel loci for hair greying and balding, with implications for understanding hair evolution.

In this study, the CYP 21A2 gene p.V281L mutation was associated with an increased susceptibility to familial frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting an antigen-driven mechanism linked to certain human leukocyte antigen haplotypes.

Certain genes influence the direction of hair whorls on the scalp.

This case report describes a 52-year-old woman who developed retiform purpura after using cocaine likely adulterated with levamisole, highlighting the need for levamisole detection in such cases.

This study found that COVID-19 infection disrupts spermatogenesis, alters testicular cell populations, and may impact male fertility by causing long-term changes in testicular function and reduced sperm quality, as observed even in patients who have recovered from the acute phase of the infection.

RF-mesotherapy with bicalutamide may be a promising new treatment for hair loss.

This study found that aloe vera peel extract gel at concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15% can accelerate the drying of minor burns in rabbits.

This study found that hair follicles are a significant and efficient pathway for the absorption of topical minoxidil foam in humans, with faster blood detection when follicles are open.

This Delphi study found that moderate-to-severe alopecia areata in Poland, Czechia, Russia, and Türkiye significantly impacts quality of life and highlights an unmet need for more effective treatments.

This review found that dutasteride is more potent than finasteride as a dual receptor dihydrotestosterone blocker for treating androgenetic alopecia and shares a similar safety profile in terms of fertility, teratogenicity, neurotoxicity, and hepatotoxicity.

This study found that a newly developed hemi-vascularized sandwich method significantly improved the regeneration and maturity of hair follicles compared to other transplantation approaches in rat models.

This article examines the emerging role of dermoscopy in skin cancer diagnosis and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight its potential to enhance dermatological practice.

This article reviews the cultural, historical, and marketing influences driving female pubic hair removal and argues it is socially seen as normative for aesthetic, hygienic, erotic, and self-image reasons.

This study discusses the physiopathogeny, clinical manifestations, and treatment objectives of androgenetic alopecia without reporting new clinical findings.

Normal hair thickness varies by scalp area and a mix of hair thicknesses is typical in healthy individuals.
