This review discusses persistent adverse effects of 5α‐reductase inhibitors, like diminished libido and erectile dysfunction, in some patients and highlights the need for patient discussions before therapy, especially for androgenetic alopecia.

This review reports that alopecia areata affects about 2% of people globally and is linked with psychiatric and medical comorbidities, highlighting its significant disease burden.

This study reported that certain newly synthesized steroidal derivatives showed stronger inhibitory activity against the 5α-reductase enzyme than finasteride in hamsters, suggesting their potential as enzyme inhibitors.

This study found that biostimulant application in lettuce cultivation led to significant yield and phytochemical enhancements, with effects varying between green and red cultivars depending on the treatment method used.

This study in Italy observed telogen effluvium and trichodynia as common hair-related complications following COVID-19 infection, raising questions about underlying hair follicle biology and potential receptor involvement.

This study found that certain curcumin analogs derived from natural plant sources exhibit anti-androgen activity by inhibiting steroid 5-alpha reductase, identifying key structural features for their potency and safety in treating androgen-related conditions.

This study found that diffuse and pseudo-fringe sign patterns are common in Asian patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, and that treatments combining antiandrogens or antimalarials with topical therapy are effective.

This study reports that providing free, specialized dermatology care through a collaboration between the University of Michigan Health System and a nonprofit clinic was feasible and beneficial for uninsured Southeast Michigan residents.

This study found that certain Y-chromosome alleles may influence susceptibility to prostate cancer among Iraqi males, suggesting potential genetic screening markers for the disease.

Hair increases in size when it absorbs water, and treatments like bleaching affect how much water it can take in.

This study observed that bitemporal alopecia often coincides with conditions such as androgenetic alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis, and telogen effluvium. The researchers suggest bitemporal hair loss could help predict and monitor these associated hair diseases.

This study in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) patients found significant gender differences, with males exhibiting more serositis, higher anti-DNA antibody prevalence, and renal involvement, while females experienced more hair loss.

This study found that hair with lower levels of keratin associated proteins reduced the foreign body response in mouse subcutaneous implant tests compared to hair with higher keratin levels.

This review suggests that alopecia areata may occur as a dermatologic manifestation of COVID-19, often appearing 1 to 2 months after infection; further research is needed to clarify this association.

This study found that IL-7 is crucial for the survival of memory regulatory T cells in the skin of mice, whereas IL-2 is essential for their initial generation but not for their maintenance.

This study found that women with PCOS have elevated serum androgen levels throughout adulthood, with these levels decreasing and variations increasing as they approach menopause.

In this study, researchers suggest that strategic early intervention during fetal wound healing could lead to significantly improved long-term skin regeneration outcomes.

This study concluded that finasteride 1 mg does not significantly affect the metabolism of omeprazole in young healthy Japanese male extensive or poor metabolizers for CYP2C19.

This review explores the potential role of caveolin-1 in cicatricial alopecia, particularly frontal fibrosing alopecia, and discusses possibilities for targeted therapies without providing new research results.

This study found that both patients and physicians expressed dissatisfaction with disease control in systemic lupus erythematosus, with patients showing greater dissatisfaction than physicians regarding symptoms.

This article reviews mammalian skin epidermis as a model for studying stem cell regulation, noting the utility of in vitro and ex vivo platforms, but it reports no new empirical findings.

This study found that patients with lupus nephritis experience a greater overall burden than those with systemic lupus erythematosus without nephritis, particularly impacting areas such as family planning, professional life, disease features, medication usage, and quality of life.

Genetic changes in specific proteins contribute to hair loss in some women of African descent.

This study found that in chimaeric mice models, the pigment distribution and pattern were influenced by the sash genotype, demonstrating the melanocyte-autonomous nature of the beige and leaden loci.

This review indicates promising potential for cinnamon supplementation to improve metabolic outcomes in PCOS, but more clinical trials with higher doses and longer durations are needed to confirm these effects.

This study examined the clinicopathologic features of mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis in 14 patients, finding that the disease mostly presented as epithelioid type, with a propensity for high-grade tumors, and BAP1 and MTAP loss was uncommon.

Atomic Force Microscopy is a more accurate way to assess hair damage and the effect of cosmetic treatments.

In this study involving South African breast cancer patients, researchers identified certain genetic variations in cytochrome P450 and other enzymes potentially linked to differences in tamoxifen treatment outcomes, suggesting a need for more comprehensive pharmacogenomic studies to optimize therapy in African populations.

This study reports that trichocyte intermediate filaments from rat vibrissae and human hair follicles may contain a hollow region at their core, suggesting unique structural properties.
