This study found that sebaceous glands predominantly exhibit oxidative activity of the type 2 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isozyme, which is not inhibited by 13-cis retinoic acid.

This review discusses the distinct clinical and psychological aspects of adult female acne and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for a comprehensive management approach.

This study suggests that ROXYs and reactive oxygen species are likely involved in the signaling pathways plants use to respond to nitrate deprivation.

This study suggests that the absence of alpha5(IV)/alpha6(IV) chains in certain subepidermal basement membrane spots may relate to interactions with melanocytes in human skin.

This review discusses the complex links between polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance, and potential metabolic risks starting in adolescence, noting the need for early screening and treatment but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that untreated hirsute patients have lower expression of type 2 17β-HSD mRNA in scalp hairs, indicating potential disturbances in androgen metabolism, compared to treated hirsute patients.

This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 had higher numbers of nevi, dysplastic nevi, melanomas, and pilomatrixomas compared to age- and sex-matched controls.

This study presents the first reported case of kerion-type scalp mycosis caused by Aspergillus protuberus, emphasizing the importance of mycological examination when diagnosing unusual scalp infections, especially in children.

This study found that certain compounds from Chaga mushrooms stimulated the proliferation of human hair follicle cells more effectively than minoxidil, suggesting potential for hair-growth treatments.

In this study, various types of minor hair follicle damage were observed during follicular unit extraction, with paring and hair bulb injury being more apparent under microscopic examination.

In this study, researchers found that ginsenoside Re from Panax ginseng increased hair shaft length and duration in mice, comparable to minoxidil, by modulating TGF-β signaling pathways.

In this study of Han Chinese women, the mitochondrial DNA N haplogroup was associated with a higher risk of late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus and its specific manifestations, such as skin impairment and neurological disturbances.

This article reviews how aging affects skin and stem cells, but it contains no new research findings.

This report documented a successful and sustained hair restoration surgery using follicular unit transplantation for temporal triangular alopecia, lasting over six years.

This study found that trans-3,4'-Dimethyl-3-hydroxyflavanone reduces active TGF-beta2 levels in human keratinocytes, suggesting it may enhance hair growth by suppressing the TGF-beta2 activation pathway.

This case report presents the first known instance of combined polycystic ovary syndrome and autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2 in a patient, exploring potential mechanisms for their interrelation.

This study on feather pattern formation in chicken skin found that inhibiting gap junctional intercellular communication can lead to the emergence of new feather buds in specific spatial patterns, suggesting that GJIC may facilitate Turing-type periodic patterning by propagating inhibitory signals over long distances.

This review discusses the limitations of current hair classification systems and highlights the need for standardized reporting of key hair characteristics to improve study comparisons; it reports no new results.

This editorial highlights the life and contributions of Albert Kligman to dermatology, noting his significant research accomplishments, including the development of topical tretinoin and his lasting influence on the field through training and philanthropy.

This study found that CD2 could be a potential new therapeutic target for treating patchy-type alopecia areata, suggesting the need for further research into its role.

In this study, only European-ancestry females showed a linear increase in cutaneous malignant melanoma risk with age, potentially due to the loss of HPV-infected androgenic follicles after menopause.

This study suggests that type 2 diabetes mellitus and polycystic ovary syndrome are separate medical entities despite both being linked to insulin resistance.

This study identified a novel mutation, R430Q in the KRT86 gene, in a Han family with monilethrix, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenic mechanism.

The researchers reported that inhibiting 11β-HSD1 activity in human dermal papilla cells may reduce the negative effects of glucocorticoids on hair growth, suggesting potential treatment for stress-related hair loss.

This case report details a rare instance of a young male with coexisting autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 2 and anti-GAD65 antibody-associated stiff person syndrome, where symptoms improved by adding intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, emphasizing the importance of awareness for early diagnosis and treatment.

This study demonstrated that derivatives of dehydroepiandrosterone (2a-b, 3a-f, and 4a-f) significantly reduced viable LNCaP prostate cancer cells, suggesting potential therapeutic use for metastatic prostate cancer, while finasteride did not alter cell viability.

COVID-19 patients with hair loss experienced more cognitive issues and these issues were linked to higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress.

This study found that dermal injection of M-CSF stimulated CD11b + myeloid cells can induce alopecia areata in mice by potentially activating B lymphocytes, offering insight into the disease's pathogenesis.

This study observed that in an ex vivo setting, 17β-estradiol increased CB1 expression in human hair follicles, suggesting possible sensitivity to endocannabinoids and a potential mechanism for hair therapy.

This study observed that photobiomodulation therapy may contribute to hair growth stability or improvement in individuals with darker skin types, without reported adverse events, though its findings are limited by a small sample size.
