This study found that Puerariae Flos extract inhibited testosterone 5α-reductase and promoted hair growth in mouse models, suggesting its potential use for treating androgenic alopecia.

This study found that papillary dermal fibroblast progenitors in newborn mouse skin can be isolated and cultured to generate male germline cell precursors, demonstrating their potential through differentiation into cells with meiotic capability.

This case report describes a 26-year-old man who experienced persistent sexual dysfunction and other symptoms for 19 months after stopping finasteride for androgenetic alopecia. The authors highlight post-finasteride syndrome's impact on quality of life and stress the need for careful risk-benefit assessment before prescribing.

In this open uncontrolled study on microneedling as an adjuvant therapy for frontal fibrosing alopecia, researchers observed stable frontotemporal recession measurements while patients reported improvements in quality of life and a reduction in inflammatory activity parameters.

In this meta-analysis, researchers found that oral dutasteride may stabilize or improve frontal fibrosing alopecia in patients, but results varied widely, and further controlled studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness as a treatment option.

This case report describes a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia who did not improve with hydroxychloroquine and topical minoxidil but achieved clinical stabilization with methotrexate monotherapy.

This article reviews cell proteomic footprinting technology and its application in improving the authentication and quality control of cell-based immunotherapeutics, without providing new clinical results.

This study found that in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, combining topical tacrolimus with isotretinoin is more effective after four weeks of treatment compared to tacrolimus with finasteride, though both regimens offered some benefit.

Patients with Lichen Planopilaris are more likely to have rosacea and skin cancer but less likely to have congestive heart failure, stroke, and glaucoma.

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 diverse clinical presentations of lichen planopilaris, with classic lichen planopilaris being the most common, highlighting the importance of recognizing this variability for accurate diagnosis.

FPHL affects hair density and diameter, causing visible hair loss in older women.

This study found that overexpression of the FA2H gene in cashmere goats' hair follicle cells may enhance hair proliferation and regulate genes affecting cashmere fineness.

This study compared fluid PRF and PRP for treating atrophic acne scars and found PRF to be more effective, particularly when combined with needling. Both treatments improved scars, but PRF showed higher therapeutic response, suggesting it as a superior alternative for acne scar treatment.

This study reports that prenatal and prepubertal exposure to organochlorine compounds and perfluoroalkyl substances may affect pubertal development at age 12, with observed changes in development patterns in both girls and boys, highlighting the need for further research.

A teenager's hair with alternating white and dark bands, known as Pili annulati, is a genetic condition that is usually harmless and often considered attractive.

This review found that intralesional corticosteroid injections and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors were reported as the most effective treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia, with oral isotretinoin showing promise for facial papule improvement.

This study suggests that the T allele of the SNP rs2476601 in the PTPN22 gene may increase the risk of alopecia areata, although further studies are necessary to validate this finding across different populations.

This case report describes a patient with a severe pruritic rash and hair loss in both axillary regions, with no fluorescence under a Wood's lamp and hair follicle-centred papules observed through dermoscopy.

This paper discusses the first reported case of post-finasteride syndrome in a long-term dermatotrichology setting, occurring in a 25-year-old male after dutasteride treatment, and highlights possible links to mental health disorders.

This study discovered that adipose tissue infiltration at the isthmus level appears significantly more often in frontal fibrosing alopecia cases compared to controls, suggesting a potential role in the condition's pathology.

This article reviews Frambusia, a skin-contact-spread tropical infection, and stresses improving medical professionals' diagnostic and treatment skills to achieve the WHO's eradication target by 2030, without reporting new results.

This study developed a new clustering model to improve detection of drug-induced cognitive disorder risk signals, finding that it identified drugs with moderate risk signals, like Carbidopa/Levodopa, missed by traditional methods, enhancing clinical assessment comprehensiveness.

This study observed that using serial sectioning and d-PAS staining improved detection of Malassezia folliculitis, notably in lesions on the trunks of male patients.

In this study, researchers in South India observed that dermoscopic features like hair diameter diversity and miniaturized hair were common in female pattern hair loss, with yellow dots and honeycombing indicating more advanced stages, highlighting dermoscopy's utility in diagnosing and differentiating FPHL early.

This study found that female pattern hair loss was highly prevalent among a multiracial Brazilian population, affecting over 30% of women, and age was a significant risk factor.

This study found that dermatoscopy can quickly and non-invasively detect facial vellus hair involvement in patients with alopecia frontal fibrosante, occurring frequently and associated with specific facial lesions.

This study found that in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, PCOS phenotype and oxidative stress markers were significantly related to free androgen index levels, but insulin resistance was not.

This review discusses treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris, noting that systemic 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are most effective for stabilization and potential hair regrowth, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, patients with generalized pustular psoriasis were classified into subgroups to better understand the disease's variability and assist in treatment selection, highlighting the role of localized infections in triggering flares.
