This review discusses the role of steroid sulfatase in steroid hormone metabolism and highlights the need for more research on its expression and regulation, especially regarding hormone-dependent tumors.

This study found that topical cilostazol promotes hair growth, enhances hair follicle activities, and may serve as a potential treatment for alopecia.

Hair growth is influenced by factors like genetics and nutrition, and more research is needed to understand hair loss and growth mechanisms.

Dermoscopy is a good, noninvasive way to see normal cat skin structures and could be useful for check-ups.

In this study, researchers observed that the sexual effects of dihydrotestosterone deprivation using finasteride may vary by handedness, with right-handed men often experiencing lower sexual function and left-handed men showing no effect or improvement.

This article describes the 25Up study on psychological and behavioral risk factors for mental illness in Australian twins and their siblings and reports prevalence data for various mental disorders.

This study found that non-thermal plasma treatment increased epidermal thickness and dermal collagen density in mouse skin tissue without causing damage, potentially promoting growth factors and tissue remodeling.

This study found that UVB radiation significantly alters miRNA expression and induces cytotoxicity and apoptosis in normal human dermal papilla cells.

This study highlights the urgent need for health policies in Korea that focus on diseases with rising burdens and groups experiencing high health burdens, as a step toward improving population health and achieving health equity.

The authors reviewed the mechanisms behind Kennedy's disease, noting advances in therapeutic strategies such as androgen deprivation and gene silencing that may soon expand treatment options for this incurable neuromuscular condition.

This article reviews the genetic and potential environmental factors in alopecia areata's pathogenesis and suggests a polygenic model but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, the Mason gastric bypass resulted in significant weight loss, with most patients losing over 25% of their total weight and maintaining it, despite some risk of complications.

This study found that injury affects the behavior of hair follicle dermal stem cells, steering them towards recruitment into the dermal papilla, a shift influenced by the hair cycle stage.

This review explores new theories, diagnostic tools, and management strategies for primary cicatricial alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that Polygonum multiflorum extract may promote hair growth by increasing anagen duration and activating dermal papilla cells in human hair follicles, as observed in cultured cell models.

This review examines the literature on polycystic ovary syndrome, focusing on its pathogenesis, diagnosis, and links to cardiovascular and hypertensive disorders, but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that invasomes enhanced the iontophoretic transdermal delivery of finasteride in rabbits, increasing AUC and T1/2 compared to oral suspension.

This review discusses various Wnt pathway modulators developed between 2014 and 2020, highlighting their potential as treatments for diseases like cancer and osteoarthritis, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes an atypical presentation of alopecia areata in a 53-year-old postmenopausal woman, which may resemble frontal fibrosing alopecia and complicate diagnosis.

This study found that using anhydrous cerium(III) chloride with alkyl Grignard reagents significantly improved the addition to sterically hindered 17-ketosteroids, resulting in high yields and stereoselectivity.

This study reported that pathways related to apoptosis, cell proliferation, and WNT signaling might be key drivers of hair loss in androgenetic alopecia, guiding potential targets for therapy development.

This case study describes a 14-year-old girl with pili annulati who had fragile hair, which may be due to cavities within the hair shafts as seen in electron microscopic examinations.

This study found that the pH dependency of rat steroid 5α-reductase type II isozyme significantly affects its kinetic properties, including Vmax and Km, suggesting past discrepancies in literature may arise from these pH variances during assays.

This case report from the study describes a dog suffering from dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis, presenting with alopecia on the neck and ear, illustrating the zoonotic risk of these fungal infections in both animals and humans, particularly in hot and humid climates.

This study found that mixtures used in permanent hair dyes had irritant effects on reconstructed human epidermis, while individual ingredients alone did not.

In this study, transcriptome analysis identified 68 differentially expressed miRNAs in human dermal papilla cells treated with hydrogen peroxide, suggesting they play a significant role in growth arrest and apoptosis.

This study reports that scalp biopsies in white adults usually have 16.5 hair follicles, primarily in the anagen phase, with male samples showing fewer follicular units but more fibrous tracts in certain areas.

This review explores the potential of edible flowers, particularly the genus Impatiens, for their chemical, nutritional, and bioactive properties but does not report new clinical findings.

This study found that manipulating SIMK expression in alfalfa affects root hair growth, infection thread and nodule formation, and overall plant biomass, highlighting its potential biotechnological applications.

This study found that testosterone enhances insulin secretion in human pancreatic islets by being converted into DHT and E2, processes that are necessary for this effect.
