This review highlights the emerging role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in dermatology, suggesting that lncRNAs significantly impact signaling pathways involved in normal skin functions and skin diseases, offering potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

In this study of women with female pattern hair loss, iron deficiency was associated with the condition due to significantly lower serum ferritin and altered hematological indices compared to healthy controls, while no significant differences in serotonin levels or renal function were observed.

This research highlights selenium's critical roles in various biological processes and underscores the potential health impacts of both its deficiency and excess, including increased mortality risk, poor immune function, and neurological issues.

This study observed significant clinical effects, such as hair loss and testicular changes, in common quail treated with the steroids IVF-C Inj and Diane-35, especially highlighting cyproterone acetate's impact on vital organs like the liver.

Among adult male rats, this study found that combined exposure to lithium carbonate and lead acetate over 28 days led to synergistic cardiotoxic effects, evidenced by oxidative stress, ECG abnormalities, and molecular markers of increased apoptosis, despite no observable structural damage to myocardial tissue.

This study found that after 12 weeks of taking the trial product SHPro®, participants reported improvements in prostate symptom scores and erectile function, with confirmed safety.

This case report presented a 64-year-old Thai woman diagnosed with late-onset eruptive clear cell syringoma, and the authors highlighted a potential link between this condition and glucose metabolism abnormalities, suggesting the need for metabolic screening in similar elderly patients.

This source provides a comprehensive overview of amenorrhea, detailing its classification, potential causes such as hormonal imbalances and structural abnormalities, and the various management strategies including hormone therapy and lifestyle modifications tailored to its underlying causes.

This case study reported that an 18-year-old woman ingested a large amount of topical minoxidil, leading to symptoms like low blood pressure, increased heart rate, and elevated liver enzymes, but recovered fully after treatment. Minoxidil toxicity may rarely cause abnormal liver enzyme levels.

This study found that women with PCOS displayed significantly higher activity of 5alpha-reductase, suggesting an additional role for liver and peripheral tissues in their androgen excess.

This review discusses the significant role of Wnt signaling in skin development, homeostasis, and disease, highlighting recent advances in understanding its diverse functions, but reports no new experimental results.

This article reviews Cronkhite-Canada syndrome as a distinct condition from Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and familial polyposis, with cases showing gastrointestinal polyposis, skin, hair, nail abnormalities, and hypoproteinemia.

In this study, women with androgenic alopecia showed increased excretion of steroid metabolites and heightened 5α-reductase activity, suggesting these may contribute to the condition's hormonal abnormalities.

This study highlights the efforts of the Oyemam Autoimmune Foundation in raising awareness and supporting lupus patients in Ghana, amid challenges like misdiagnosis and insufficient healthcare resources, revealing the impact of their advocacy and counseling initiatives on patients' lives.

In this study, the researchers found that deleting ceramide synthase 4 in the skin's epidermis alters stem cell differentiation, disrupting hair follicle structure and barrier function, potentially leading to immune responses similar to atopic dermatitis.

Herpes gestationis is linked to certain antigens, atopic eczema affects T cell populations and may be eased by breastfeeding, higher doses of anti-androgen treatment can improve androgenic alopecia, topical minoxidil increases hair thickness, long-term methotrexate therapy can cause liver fibrosis in psoriasis patients, and Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus patients aren't at higher risk for autoimmune disorders.

This review discusses the diagnosis, management, and hormone treatment of transsexual individuals, and examines the risks and effects of cross-sex hormone therapy without presenting new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of TGM3 in skin and hair follicle biology, human tumor pathology, and genetic abnormalities, and reports no novel results; the authors highlight its potential as a cancer diagnostic biomarker.

This case report examines the long-term impact of extensive anabolic-androgenic steroid use on metabolic and cardiovascular health, highlighting adverse effects to guide primary care for this patient group.

This study found that mesenchymal stem cell treatment alleviated atopic dermatitis-like symptoms in a mouse model by modulating immune and inflammatory responses, with gene expression changes suggesting pathways for potential personalized treatment approaches.

In this study, inducible whole-body Acly-knockout mice revealed that ACLY is essential for skin homeostasis, as its deficiency led to increased sebum production and skin abnormalities, indicating a vital role for cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthesis in preserving skin barrier integrity and systemic lipid regulation.

This case report highlights a 7-year-old boy with suspected Netherton syndrome who presented with itchy lesions, hair abnormalities, and elevated immunoglobulin E levels. The authors report complete resolution of symptoms with oral Acitretin after failed methotrexate treatment.

This article discusses the potential health risks associated with long-term use of finasteride and dutasteride for prostate and hair loss treatments, suggesting risks may include non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic issues.

This study investigated the sub-acute toxicity of Eclipta alba extract in Wistar albino rats, finding generally comparable hematological and biochemical parameters to controls, but noted mild morphological liver and kidney changes at the highest dose, highlighting a key area for further safety research.

This study found that reduced plasma DIAPH1 levels were associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting DIAPH1 as a potential predictive factor for the condition.

This review explores the diverse physiological roles of the vitamin D endocrine system, discussing current research on receptor structure, transcription details, murine models, and alternative receptors, but reports no new findings.

This study describes the efficacy of oral isotretinoin in treating severe, hormonal, and treatment-resistant acne, noting significant side effects that depend on dose and duration, including teratogenic risks and common issues like skin dryness, while underscoring the importance of systematic monitoring to mitigate adverse effects.

These guidelines recommend testing thyroid function in patients with obesity due to common hypothyroidism, and highlight that weight loss is crucial for addressing hormonal imbalances, with only modest weight loss benefits from treating endocrine disorders.

This review discusses guidelines for acitretin use in dermatology, reporting its efficacy in severe psoriasis and recommendations for combination therapies, without providing new clinical trial results.
