This review discusses the role of PPAR-γ in the pathogenesis of primary cicatricial alopecia, including its involvement in lichen planopilaris and treatment trials using PPAR-agonists, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found no clear evidence that finasteride negatively affects erectile function, though it does cause a reduction in ejaculatory volume and has potential implications for prostate cancer risk.

The authors of this review explore the link between thyroid disorders and skin conditions in children, highlighting how conditions like chronic urticaria, vitiligo, and alopecia may signal underlying thyroid issues and emphasizing the importance of early detection for timely diagnosis and personalized treatment.

These guidelines recommend testing thyroid function in patients with obesity due to common hypothyroidism, and highlight that weight loss is crucial for addressing hormonal imbalances, with only modest weight loss benefits from treating endocrine disorders.

This study found significant variation in tissue mutant load in individuals with the T8993G mutation, which complicates genetic counseling and may inform genotype-phenotype correlations, especially using hair bulb mtDNA analysis.

This review discusses the potential benefits of photobiomodulation for managing side effects of cancer therapy and provides specific guidelines for its use in supportive cancer care, without presenting new clinical results.

This review discusses the development and potential therapeutic effects of nitroxide small molecule agents for age-related macular degeneration and cardiovascular disease, but reports no new clinical results.

In isolated rat lymph vessels, this study found that ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers impair lymph contractions and reduce lymph flow, potentially contributing to peripheral edema.

This study found that decreased pressure sensitivity and 2-point discrimination at the scalp's vertex were significantly associated with androgenetic alopecia in men.

This article suggests a hypothesis that scalp neuropathy may contribute to androgenetic alopecia, focusing on the potential role of the arrector pili muscle's innervation in maintaining hair health.

This study developed a validated murine model of hypertrophic scar contraction, demonstrating similarities to human skin and observing graft contraction and tissue characteristics over time.

In this animal study, ginsenoside Rb1 demonstrated therapeutic effects on hypertrophic scar remodeling, with the highest efficacy observed at a dose of 0.56 mg.

This study suggests that dysfunctions and altered expression of aquaporins may play a role in PCOS-related disorders, potentially impacting folliculogenesis and integrating with the insulin-dependent hypothesis of PCOS pathogenesis.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding how the sympathetic nervous system and norepinephrine regulate hair follicle growth, highlighting innovative studies that explore their effects on hair follicle stem cells.

This study reported that a single-session scalp procedure combining several components, including PRP and botulinum toxin, was associated with significant improvements in hair thickness and reduced vellus hair proportion in androgenetic alopecia patients, although further controlled trials are needed to establish causation.

Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness without a cure, but exercise and managing symptoms may help patients live a normal lifespan.

This study demonstrated that finasteride treatment reduced cardiac dysfunction and hypertrophic remodeling in mice after myocardial infarction, suggesting potential as a therapeutic strategy for heart failure.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of functional tests and manual muscle testing in qualitatively assessing muscle performance in children with health abnormalities.

This study suggests that inhibiting PKC, similar to rapamycin treatment, can extend lifespan and reduce neurological symptoms and inflammation in mice with mitochondrial dysfunction, potentially involving the mTORC2 pathway.

This review discusses the potential of DHEAS and testosterone treatments to increase muscle mass in older men with sarcopenia, while effects on muscle function and physical performance remain unclear, and calls for further research on optimized approaches.

This review summarizes key characteristics of men's health issues such as erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer, along with specific nursing considerations, and reports no new research results.

This article discusses testosterone production in the human body and its effects on muscle mass, bone density, metabolism, and skin, but reports no new findings.

This article reviews emerging opportunities and challenges in male reproductive medicine, including advancements and unmet needs in erectile dysfunction, androgen deficiency, and fertility, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that while MK-0773 significantly increased lean body mass in sarcopenic frail elderly women, it did not significantly improve muscle strength or physical function compared to placebo.

This study developed a detailed classification system for functional androgenization in females that may enhance diagnosis and personalized treatment by identifying individual dysfunctions.

This study optimized a screening assay to identify molecules that inhibit or enhance TRPM5 ion channel activity, which may have implications for treating dysfunctions linked to cardiac arrhythmias and diabetes.

This study explores the potential roles of exosomes in anti-aging applications, highlighting their ability to modulate inflammation, promote tissue regeneration, and transfer bioactive molecules to rejuvenate aging tissues and reverse cellular dysfunction.

This review examines how regenerative therapies targeting shared biological pathways can promote healing in musculoskeletal disorders and hair follicle dysfunction, highlighting modalities like platelet-rich plasma and laser therapy while addressing challenges in standardization and measurement.

This study used Cisd2 knockout mice models and found that these mice display premature aging characteristics and an increase in dysfunctional neutrophils, suggesting Cisd2's role in calcium homeostasis and neutrophil function via interactions with Calnexin and SERCA.

This research reports that essential oils may enhance athletic performance by improving cerebral hemodynamics and promoting muscle and psycho-emotional relaxation through activation of the limbic system.
