This article reviews the discovery and various physiological effects of cyproterone acetate, reporting its established indications for several androgen-driven conditions but providing no new clinical data.

Finasteride helps female-pattern hair loss.

Iron and zinc deficiencies may be treated to help female hair loss.

Treatments for hair loss vary, but cell-based options may be the future.

This article reviews the potential clinical use of anabolic steroids in treating muscle loss from chronic diseases and aging and highlights both the benefits and risks of these substances in sports.

This study found that Hoxc13 mutations in mice cause defects in hair, nail, and tongue structures, with the most noticeable issue being brittle hair leading to alopecia.

This study found that econazole nitrate delivered via MPEG-dihexPLA micelles significantly increased skin deposition compared to Pevaryl® cream, potentially enhancing drug bioavailability and clinical efficacy.

This study found that about 80% of known fullerene-binding proteins rank in the top 10% of scorers for C60 docking sites, confirming the accuracy of the predictive model used.

This study applied semantic text-mining to identify phenotypes linked to over 6,000 diseases, demonstrating that these phenotypes can accurately identify known disease-associated genes, creating a human disease network based on phenotypic similarity.

This study suggests that the GPX-PDE1 and GPX-PDE2 genes in white lupin enhance root hair development and contribute to Pi limitation acclimation by facilitating glycerophosphodiester degradation.

This study found that elevated carbon dioxide levels may help mitigate water deficit stress in soybean roots by altering gene expression related to stress and nutrient transport.

In this study, the herbal complex of Houttuynia cordata, Perilla frutescens var. acuta, and green tea promoted hair growth in C57BL/6 mice, enhancing regrowth and follicle development compared to controls.

In this study, topical quercetin was found to stimulate hair follicle growth and promote microvascular regrowth in mice, suggesting its potential for hair regrowth strategies.

This study describes a novel hairless mutant rat strain, F344-Hr(krh), developed via ENU mutagenesis, which provides a model for skin disease and potentially focal glomerulosclerosis due to specific genetic mutations.

Researchers translated and validated the WAA-QoL questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese, finding it to be a reliable tool for assessing quality of life in women with female pattern hair loss.

This study found that hairless mice with homozygous mutations developed significantly more aggressive basal cell carcinomas and a heightened inflammatory response to UVB exposure compared to their haired littermates.

This study found that biodegradable hyperbranched polyesters improved the solubility and loading capacity of hydrophobic drugs, with complete pyrene release achieved in 16 days under enzymatic conditions.

In this study, researchers identified loss of function variants in the HR gene as likely causes of the distinct roaning hair coat seen in lykoi cats.

In this study, researchers used an evolutionary-rate-based method to identify genetic elements associated with reduced hair in mammals, finding a dichotomy between accelerated coding sequences and noncoding regulatory elements influencing hair growth.

This review concluded that near-infrared and red light photobiomodulation shows potential for certain ocular conditions like age-related macular degeneration and dry eye disease, but clinical evidence is still mixed and insufficient to establish it as a standard therapy.

In this study, oral tranexamic acid significantly improved melasma in 40 female patients over three months, with no adverse effects like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or bleeding, demonstrating its potential as a safe and effective treatment option.

In this study, primary cilia were found to contribute to meibomian gland enlargement and lipid production, though they are not necessary for normal gland development.

In this study, researchers observed distinct morphological differences in hair follicles of mutant mouse genotypes, influenced by the expression levels of keratin2-6g, which is essential for proper hair follicle development.

In this study, polycystic ovary syndrome was the most prevalent cause of androgen excess, and suppressive hormonal therapy improved hirsutism, menstrual dysfunction, and acne in most patients, though side effects were common.

The guideline recommends mental health involvement in diagnosing gender identity disorder and outlines hormone and surgical treatment protocols, emphasizing safety, informed consent, and long-term monitoring.

Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.

This review examines the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk, but reports no new clinical findings; the panel calls for guidelines to prevent CVD in this population.

This review discusses the role of androgens in the progression of cardiovascular disease and explores novel therapeutic targets without reporting new clinical results.

This paper reviews the diagnostic criteria, etiological factors, and treatment approaches for PCOS, highlighting the importance of considering metabolic issues such as insulin resistance and obesity, but reports no new findings.

This study estimates the total cost of evaluating and treating polycystic ovary syndrome in reproductive-aged women in the United States to be $4.36 billion, suggesting more liberal screening could be beneficial.
