Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss with no cure and treatments that often don't work well.

This study found that three genetic loci, including the newly identified JMJD1C, are associated with circulating testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels, explaining a small portion of their variance in European men.

This study found that specific DNA variants in the TCHH, WNT10A, and FRAS1 genes are associated with predicting straight hair in Europeans, showing high sensitivity but low specificity, especially using a neural networks approach.

In this study, male-pattern baldness was strongly associated with a higher risk of keratinocyte cancers, particularly squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, likely due to increased sun exposure on the scalp rather than androgen levels.

This study found no significant association between selected gene variants and female pattern hair loss, suggesting these genes might not be involved in its development.

In this study, researchers found that alopecia areata patients show a significant reduction in suppressive regulatory T-cells and an increase in inflammatory T-cell populations, suggesting an immunological imbalance contributing to the disease.

This publication reviews the World Professional Association for Transgender Health's Standards of Care for supporting transgender and gender nonconforming people, with adjustments needed for diverse global contexts and no new clinical results.

This review discusses the classification and diagnosis of pregnancy-related skin conditions and reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the historical developments in understanding and treating male pattern hair loss, emphasizing the role of dihydrotestosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors, but reports no new clinical findings.

GABRA2 gene variations impact alcohol response, and hair loss medication finasteride reduces some effects.

This article suggests that modern lifestyle changes, including diet, stress, and chronic anti-inflammatory medication use, may disrupt the natural process of inflammation resolution, increasing vulnerability to chronic disease.

This article reviews primary cicatricial alopecias, focusing on lymphocytic forms such as chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus, according to a classification by the North American Hair Research Society, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that early-onset androgenetic alopecia in individuals of European ancestry is significantly associated with increased odds of Parkinson's disease and is influenced by specific genetic loci, including some linked to reduced fertility.

This review examines the health benefits of green tea, focusing on catechins, but reports no new findings; the authors emphasize potential benefits for conditions like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

In this study, seasonal hair loss was most pronounced in low-ranking male vervet monkeys, and changes in scrotal color and hyperpigmentation also correlated with hair loss, but underlying causes were not identified.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African-descent females, discussing possible causes, associated styling habits, and potential treatments, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors call for further research.

This study observed a temporal association between tamsulosin use for benign prostatic hyperplasia and an increased risk of severe hypotension requiring hospital admission during the first eight weeks of treatment initiation and restart.

This study suggests that polycystic ovary syndrome symptoms are uncommon among women with metabolic syndrome, indicating it may represent only a specific subset within the broader context of metabolic syndrome.

Research on epidermal stem cells has advanced significantly, showing promise for improved clinical therapies.

This review discusses various techniques for evaluating hair shedding and alopecia but reports no new clinical results. The authors emphasize the value of specific clinical and instrumental methods in assessing hair growth.

Cosmetics enhance beauty, fix defects, and intimidate enemies, with varying cultural standards and alternative methods.

This study observed that the reproductive phenology of Ficus species in Northern Thailand varied seasonally, with female trees producing the most figs during the rainy season, while male trees' fig production peaked earlier.

This study found that a genetic model using SNPs can predict early-onset male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, which may assist in decisions about interventions.

This study found that dutasteride pretreatment reduced certain sedative effects of alcohol and may decrease drinking behavior in adult men, likely by impacting neuroactive steroid levels.

Using finasteride with TIP extends time off period for prostate cancer patients.

The article concludes that the global hair trade is exploitative and reflects complex cultural and economic issues.

This review details historical advancements in understanding and treating superficial fungal infections, with notable milestones in identifying causative agents and developing effective treatments, but it reports no new findings.

This article reviews the history, methods, and complications of tissue expansion and serial excision for scar revision in the head and neck, and reports no new findings.

This study suggests that methotrexate use among rheumatoid arthritis patients is associated with patient-reported side effects and tolerability issues that may not be fully recognized by physicians.

This research examined the ultrastructure of deer hair fibers and found significant variations in diameter, cuticle thickness, and intermediate filament arrangements among different fiber types.
