In this study, researchers found that while the SNP rs6152 is strongly associated with androgenetic alopecia, the GGN triplet repeat is not, suggesting the causative variant is likely a non-coding one.

This study found that overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein in mice resulted in 30–40% shorter hair due to premature transition into the catagen phase of the hair cycle.

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.

In this study, synthetic vitamin D3 analogs stimulated hair growth and formation of normal hair follicles in nude mice, unlike the natural form 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3.

This study found that specific SHBG gene variants, rs727428 and rs6259, were associated with PCOS in Mediterranean women, although the associations were relatively weak and do not indicate a causative role.

This review discusses the role of the TCL1 transgenic mouse model in understanding chronic lymphocytic leukemia biology and highlights the importance of exploring new pathogenetic and therapeutic targets.

This study suggests that the AR/EDA2R locus may contribute to early-onset female pattern hair loss, but no association was found with the 20p11 locus.

In this study, a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet in atherosclerotic mice led to skin inflammation and hair problems, which could be reversed by inhibiting glycosphingolipid synthesis.

This article explores questions about dormant hematopoietic stem cells and suggests avenues for future research, but does not present new experimental results.

This report describes two cases of gynecomastia linked to the use of Finasteride (Propecia®) for treating androgenetic alopecia, highlighting a rare but important side effect.

This study identified three candidate genes (CORT, FGF5, and CD36) associated with cold climate adaptation in Yanbian cattle through genome resequencing and comparison with African tropical cattle.

This review discusses genome-wide association studies in dermatology, noting that variants linked to risk for 10 skin complex diseases have been identified, with potential implications for diagnostics and management; it reports no new clinical results.

This study identified new potential targets and indications for several marketed drugs using in silico profiling, suggesting opportunities for drug repositioning.

Darker hair may lead to higher cortisol readings, suggesting a need to adjust for hair color in studies.

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 confirms the presence of large structural variations in the genome of Nellore cattle, which may contribute to their environmental adaptation to tropical regions.

This study identified a gene expression signature in mouse embryonic dermal fibroblasts that depends on Wnt/β-catenin activity, potentially influencing dermal fibroblast identity and function.

No link found between new male baldness genes and female hair loss.

This study identified and updated the annotation of 61 keratin genes in dogs and horses, improving the genome annotation in these species through RNA-seq data comparison.

This study found a novel PAX9 gene mutation that may cause tooth agenesis and trichodysplasia in a studied family.

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 that Annurca apple polyphenolic extracts reprogram hair follicle metabolism in mice, enhancing mitochondrial activity and keratin production while inhibiting some metabolic pathways.

In this study, 17β-estradiol increased VEGF production in differentiated THP-1 cells, while dihydrotestosterone counteracted this effect by modulating adenylate cyclase activity.

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.

This article reviews the genetic mutations associated with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the roles of EDA gene isoforms and related receptors.

This study identified two significant genomic regions potentially involved in hair development and growth in Casertana pigs, highlighting FOXN3 and ARHGEF10 as candidate genes associated with a hairless phenotype.

This article reviews treatment options and psychological impacts of alopecia areata and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found a relatively low prevalence of cutaneous reactions in chronic hepatitis C patients treated with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin, with reactions correlated to age and treatment duration.

This study observed a potential association between the CC genotype of rs4646 and female pattern hair loss, but the authors advise caution due to lack of experiment-wide significance and recommend replication.

This study found no strong evidence that the human hairless gene is significantly involved in the development of androgenetic alopecia, though a minor role cannot be completely ruled out.
