This meta-analysis found a significant positive association between frontal fibrosing alopecia and both sunscreen and moisturizer use, with the moisturizer association significant only in males.

This study found that mrp/plf-mRNA expression in murine skin increases in response to different tumor promoters, suggesting its potential as a short-term biomarker for chemical carcinogenesis.

This review hypothesizes that excessive facial photo-protection may contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia by disrupting immunological homeostasis through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-kynurenine pathway, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, low-dose BPA was associated with induced prostatic hyperplasia in rats, potentially mediated by COX-2 and L-PGDS through pathways involving cell proliferation and apoptosis.

The researchers reported that dPGS-PCL as a carrier improved the penetration of tofacitinib in an ex-vivo human skin model compared to free tofacitinib, but did not show significant differences in inhibiting IL-6 and IL-8 during short incubation.

This report analyzed an FDA adverse event database and aimed to evaluate and describe post-finasteride syndrome potentially related to dutasteride, but it does not report new clinical findings.

This study found that both acute and chronic exposure to nano polystyrene in laboratory rats disrupted hematological function, increased oxidative stress, and led to behavioral and physiological changes, like anemia-like effects and neurological disruptions, suggesting its potential as a cumulative toxicant.

This report describes a case where a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia initially presented with symptoms resembling rosacea, but further investigation led to a diagnosis of FFA, resulting in a treatment change to oral finasteride and hydroxychloroquine.

This paper reports on the controversy surrounding post-finasteride syndrome and questions Merck and the FDA's handling of associated sexual side effects. Despite significant adverse event reports, both entities failed to conduct further studies or enhance patient safety warnings about finasteride's long-term effects.

This study developed and validated a method using hair samples to simultaneously detect bisphenols and parabens, enabling the quantification of these endocrine disruptors in a hospital population’s hair.

This study provides evidence that Fernblock® upregulates antioxidant pathways in cultured keratinocytes, potentially protecting against damage from fine pollutant particles.

This study found that repeated oral intake of 0.5 or 5 mg/kg of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles induced pulmonary toxicity in rats, with dose-dependent oxidative stress and inflammation observed, but no notable toxicity was seen at a 0.05 mg/kg dose.

In laboratory settings, this study found that finasteride repurposed as a quorum sensing inhibitor significantly reduced virulence factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including biofilm formation by 45% and pyocyanin production by 49%, suggesting potential for treating infections.

This study examined the relationship between asprosin levels and polycystic ovary syndrome, finding no statistically significant difference in asprosin levels between patients and healthy controls, although differences in fetuin a levels were significant.

In this study, researchers found that TCDD exposure accelerated differentiation and altered gene expression in human epidermal cells, indicating the epidermal barrier as a target of TCDD-activated AHR.

This study investigated the modes of action of selected pesticides, suggesting that prochloraz and tebuconazole are linked to reproductive disorders via steroidogenesis disruption, while mancozeb involves inflammatory processes.

In this study, 15d-PGJ2 administered in a topical cream inhibited oxidative and inflammatory skin changes caused by UVB radiation in hairless mice, suggesting it as a promising treatment approach.

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.

In this study, researchers identified two person-centered sexual function profiles among women, linked to physical and psychological factors, with PCOS showing greater, though not significant, presence in the dysfunction profile. The dysfunction was associated with higher adiposity and body-image distress.

This study found that non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease is significantly more prevalent in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, and is associated with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and hyperandrogenism.

This study found that selective deletion of PIKFyve kinase using a PF4 promoter in mice led to defective platelet lysosome biogenesis and a prothrombotic effect, with unexpected macrophage infiltration in multiple organs.

This study reported that prompt diagnosis and treatment with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and topical immunomodulators are key to mitigating the effects of frontal fibrosing alopecia and preventing permanent hair loss.

This study found that biodegradable hyperbranched polyesters improved the solubility and loading capacity of hydrophobic drugs, with complete pyrene release achieved in 16 days under enzymatic conditions.

This case report observed no hair regrowth after treating a woman with postmenopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia using systemic and local corticosteroids, suggesting the need for more innovative therapies.

This study reported that frontal fibrosing alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women and identified potential risk factors like frequent β-blocker use and sunscreen application, indicating the need for further research.

This review highlights that Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide exhibits various bioactivities, such as antioxidant and immune-modulating effects, and explores its potential applications in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

This study found that testosterone and finasteride were significantly associated with reports of male-factor infertility based on FDA pharmacovigilance data from 2010 to 2020.
