This study identified a higher basal metabolic rate as an independent and causally relevant risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the Chinese population, noting that sex-specific effects may require tailored management strategies.

This study demonstrated that skin organoids derived from human stem cells can model cutaneous tuberculosis, revealing that fibrosis development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected organoids is linked to the PI3K-AKT and AP1 pathways in fibroblasts, and suggesting the potential for antifibrotic treatment evaluation.

This study found that a catalytically active version of Vav2 significantly altered gene expression patterns in hair follicle stem cells in mice, with these changes varying over the animals' lifespans.

This study concludes that anti-androgenic chemicals causing short anogenital distance in male fetuses also induce a feminized transcriptional profile in the perineum, implicating Wnt and estrogen signaling in the process.

This study, conducted among Egyptians, found a borderline significant association between the Stul polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene and androgenetic alopecia in males, with higher androgen receptor expression in balding scalp areas.

New research suggests that skin cell renewal may not require a special type of cell previously thought to be essential.

This study found that oral administration of finasteride to pregnant rats caused dosage-related developmental toxicities, including hypospadias and decreased anogenital distance in male offspring.

In this study, a photographic scale and questionnaire revealed that extensive central scalp hair loss was observed in 5.6% of African American women, with an association to a history of tinea capitis.

This paper discusses the pathogenesis of cardiovascular lesions in dogs associated with minoxidil, noting that lesions were not prevented by adrenergic blockade or neural activity suppression, and highlights the differences in injury progression between coronary arteries and the right atrium.

This study found that longer exposure to 5α-reductase inhibitors significantly increased the risk of persistent erectile dysfunction, especially in younger men exposed to finasteride.

This review discusses the development and selectivity of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, particularly non-steroidal ones, and reports no new clinical trial results.

This article reviews the historical development of understanding the hair growth cycle, particularly anagen, catagen, and telogen phases, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study identified distinct dermoscopic patterns associated with different types of scalp tumors, highlighting variability in lesions related to patient age, gender, and tumor thickness.

Clinical studies reported that finasteride reduces scalp dihydrotestosterone levels and improves hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia, supporting its role as a treatment option.

This study found that feline superficial pyoderma was more prevalent in the dermatology-referral cats studied than previously reported, affecting mainly young cats with hypersensitivities and manifesting various lesion types.

This review summarizes recent research and patents on 17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3 inhibitors, suggesting their potential in treating androgen-dependent diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that topical fluridil increased the anagen hair percentage in men with androgenetic alopecia without causing irritation or systemic absorption over 9 months.

This study found that LC-MS/MS is a more reliable method than immunoassays for measuring serum 17OHP and androgen levels in women with hyperandrogenism.

This study observed that, in mouse ear epidermal stem cells, a cell-autonomous size control mechanism involving the RB pathway dictates S phase entry timing based on cell size, despite external environmental variations affecting growth rates.

This study identified key genes linked to immune cells and potential therapeutic compounds for alopecia areata by evaluating upregulated genes from patient datasets, highlighting T and NK cell involvement in hair follicle attack and suggesting drug candidates through molecular docking and dynamics simulations.

This study found no significant differences in age, sex, or histopathological characteristics for differentiating basal cell carcinoma from benign tumors of cutaneous appendages, complicating diagnosis.

In this study, low-dose oral minoxidil was found to have a favorable safety profile for treating alopecia, with mostly mild side effects, in both general and hypertensive populations.

This meta-analysis reviewed 25 studies and suggested that herbal interventions could improve reproductive health in women with PCOS, showing benefits across measures such as Body Mass Index, hirsutism, and insulin levels, although results were mixed for fasting glucose and FSH levels.

This study found that topical fluridil increased the anagen percentage in men with androgenetic alopecia without causing irritation or systemic side effects.

This review discusses advances in 5α-reductase inhibitors for treating male androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results.

This study identified numerous nutraceutical components in unripe fruits of three Musa species, potentially valuable for developing pharmaceuticals that promote human health.

This study found that factors released by mesenchymal stromal cells can enhance the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes in vitro, which may contribute to improved understanding of their role in wound healing and potential applications in dermal regeneration therapies.

Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.

Minoxidil treats high blood pressure and side effects can be managed.

In this study, certain trichoscopic features were found to be sensitive and specific for diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and its subtypes using dermatoscopy.
