This article explores the dynamic and energy-efficient nature of telogen hair follicles, challenging the notion of dormancy, and highlights their potential in advancing treatments for hair growth disorders.

HPT axis hormones boost mitochondrial function and growth in hair follicles, potentially aiding hair health.

This study found that in healthy men, higher levels of free testosterone were associated with a stronger immune response to the influenza vaccine, suggesting androgens may function as immunomodulators rather than strict immunosuppressants.

This article discusses the potential effects of exogenous testosterone, highlighting that its impact on prostate cancer progression, cardiovascular health, and behavior remains uncertain and needs further investigation.

This review discusses the development of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds for promoting angiogenesis in tissue engineering but notes that their clinical application beyond bone and skin repair is still limited.

This report documents two cases of severe systemic poisoning from heavy metals after short-term use of traditional Chinese medicines for treating damaged or infected tissue.

This review discusses diagnostic approaches for women with diffuse, nonscarring hair loss and reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses Kennedy's disease, detailing its genetic cause, symptoms, and diagnostic criteria, but reports no new clinical findings and highlights a lack of causal therapy.

This review discusses the pathophysiology of sleep disturbance in children with atopic dermatitis and highlights the need for further research on management strategies, but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that male pattern baldness in European males is strongly heritable and associated with genetic markers linked to earlier puberty, bone density, and pancreatic function.

This study found that dermal fibroblast cultures, especially those with higher alpha-smooth muscle actin expression, can be used to produce skin-derived precursor cells, unlike human hair follicle dermal papilla cultures.

Healthy mitochondria in skin cells are essential for proper hair growth and skin cell interaction in mice.

This review discusses the potential for SSRIs to cause serious skin reactions and suggests considering alternative antidepressants if such reactions occur.

Oral retinoids can cause side effects ranging from mild to severe, including birth defects, and require careful monitoring and contraception.

This review focuses on S100A6, a Ca²⁺-binding protein, detailing its role in cell functions, the regulation of its expression, and its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target in various diseases.

This study found no evidence of androgen deficiency or decreased peripheral androgen action in men with persistent sexual symptoms after finasteride use, but identified links to depressed mood and abnormal brain function.

This review explores the complex relationship between thyroid hormones and skin, discussing potential mechanisms and known interactions but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need for further research.

This review discusses the molecular basis and clinical implications of primary generalized glucocorticoid resistance and hypersensitivity, attributing them to mutations in the human glucocorticoid receptor gene, and reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the use of cross-sex hormonal therapy in transmen and reports that it is reasonably safe, suggesting monitoring should be frequent initially but can be less frequent over time.

This study found that Turner’s syndrome is associated with significant bone mass decrease due to estrogen deficiency, which can be improved with estrogen therapy, while bone issues in Klinefelter’s syndrome may benefit from early androgen therapy and possibly bisphosphonates.

This study found that women with common baldness treated with cyclical antiandrogen therapy for 52 weeks experienced increased hair density and a higher percentage of hairs in the anagen growth phase.

This paper reviews hair structure and damage from grooming and cosmetic exposure but reports no new clinical findings; it suggests collaboration between dermatologists and cosmetic chemists to improve hair care products.

In this case series, four adults developed severe, disabling multisymptom illness potentially linked to fluoroquinolone use, which persisted and progressed even after discontinuation of the drug.

This case report highlights a 53-year-old woman who developed acute hepatitis after taking shou-wu-pian for eight months, suggesting that Chinese herbal preparations can sometimes cause liver damage.

This study introduces MicrobeFDT, a tool that clusters chemically similar compounds and links them to gut microbial enzymes and toxicities, demonstrating its utility by uncovering previously unknown metabolism of the cancer drug altretamine.

This article reviews potential factors influencing Behçet's disease, like increased neutrophil functions, immunological changes, stress, and hormonal alterations, but it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that ocu-miR-205 influences hair follicle density and signaling pathways in Rex rabbits by promoting dermal papilla cell apoptosis and altering hair follicle phases.

This review examines the impact of spontaneous premature ovarian insufficiency on women's sexual function and highlights the need for a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach to management, but presents no new clinical results.

This review discusses the paracrine properties of cardiac stem cells and pericytes in regenerative medicine for ischaemic diseases and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various aspects of hair follicle biology and highlights unresolved questions and potential new research avenues, but presents no new experimental findings.
