This study developed a new mask-free method using digital micromirror and microfluidic systems to create multicellular heterospheroids for drug screening, finding that heterospheroids exhibit higher drug resistance and combinatorial drugs are more effective than single drugs in cancer therapeutic applications.

This study found that topical calcipotriol lotion resulted in hair regrowth in 59.1% of alopecia areata patients, with better response observed in those with lower serum vitamin D levels.

This study found that massaging the skin significantly increases follicular penetration of liposomes in an ex vivo setting, while occlusion only enhanced penetration for rigid liposomes.

This study found that finasteride significantly alters urinary steroid profiles, complicating the detection of steroid abuse in doping-control analysis by potentially causing false-negative results.

This study in identical twin males with androgenetic alopecia found that dutasteride significantly improved hair growth compared to placebo over one year.

In this study, researchers reported that about one-third of men with premature alopecia displayed hormonal shifts and higher insulin resistance, resembling the prevalence pattern of PCOS in women.

This study found that human keratinocytes' sensitivity and response to vitamin D3 analogues vary based on cell density, serum availability, and calcium concentration.

This study found that mice lacking alkaline ceramidase 1 with elevated skin ceramide levels showed disrupted skin homeostasis, including altered hair follicle structures, increased water loss, and a hypermetabolism phenotype.

This study found that higher BMI was significantly associated with more severe hair loss in men with male-pattern and early-onset androgenetic alopecia.

This study suggests that the AR/EDA2R locus may contribute to early-onset female pattern hair loss, but no association was found with the 20p11 locus.

In this study, prolonged systemic administration of 17β-estradiol in castrated male mice delayed wound healing by inhibiting re-epithelialization and reducing collagen accumulation, with estrogen receptor-α likely mediating this effect.

This study describes the successful management of Andean bear alopecia syndrome in three female bears using oclacitinib, leading to rapid pruritus resolution and fur regrowth without adverse effects.

This article reviews current guidelines for managing androgenetic alopecia and highlights the need for guidelines tailored to Japan; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that early-onset androgenic alopecia is associated with a higher risk of developing prostate cancer, although it was not linked to earlier diagnosis or more aggressive tumors.

In this case report, a male patient's semen parameters improved after discontinuing a 1-mg dose of finasteride, suggesting that stopping the medication may benefit infertile men with previous sperm production issues.

This review discusses systemic antifungal treatments for tinea capitis in children, noting that newer agents like terbinafine and itraconazole require shorter courses than the traditional griseofulvin, but may be more costly.

This review summarizes existing research on the use of finasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia in men, reporting its effectiveness at 1 mg/day and a strong safety profile, but presents no new findings.

Minoxidil can help grow hair and make hair follicles bigger, but it can also cause side effects.

This study found that administering the gut bacterium Thauera sp. strain GDN1 to mice significantly reduced their serum androgen levels, indicating gut bacteria may influence androgen metabolism.

This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats led to enduring effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis and neuroinflammation, and gut microbiota composition after withdrawal.

This review examines the production and market of biodegradable surgical and beauty face masks made from biobased polymers, highlighting their potential environmental benefits but reports no new findings.

This study found a bidirectional relationship between major depressive disorder and alopecia areata, with each condition significantly increasing the risk of subsequently developing the other.

This study found that a genetic model using SNPs can predict early-onset male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, which may assist in decisions about interventions.

This review discusses the mechanisms and treatment strategies for age-related hair changes, such as androgenetic alopecia and hair graying, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise, and testosterone levels may significantly influence various forms of hair loss in male identical twins.

Overexpression of certain genes can shorten hair by disrupting the hair-growth cycle.

This study highlights the importance of understanding the roles of hyperandrogenemia and insulin resistance in the development and progression of PCOS, emphasizing further research to clarify their mutual influence.

This review summarizes current knowledge on the efficacy of natural molecule supplementation, such as inositols and omega-3 fatty acids, in managing PCOS symptoms but reports no new clinical results.

This article updates Japanese guidelines for diagnosing and treating male and female-pattern hair loss, recommending specific drugs and therapies while advising against certain treatments for female-pattern hair loss.
