This article updates Japanese guidelines for diagnosing and treating male and female-pattern hair loss, recommending specific drugs and therapies while advising against certain treatments for female-pattern hair loss.

In this retrospective study, cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was found to be generally safe and led to mild feminizing effects, with more rapid feminization occurring when combined with estrogens.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and physiological regulation of neuroactive steroids, focusing on their varied responses to stress and ethanol in rats, mice, and humans, but it reports no new findings.

This study supports evaluating metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in young males with advanced androgenic alopecia to potentially reduce future cardiovascular and type 2 diabetes risks.

This study found that the receptor kinase RHS10 negatively regulates root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana by modulating growth duration and is associated with cell wall signal mediation, involving RNA catabolism and ROS accumulation.

This study found that low iron stores are a risk factor for excessive hair loss in non-menopausal women.

This retrospective study found that serum hormone levels and MRI detection of ovarian nodules contributed to distinguishing virilizing ovarian tumors from ovarian stromal hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women, though histopathology remains crucial for diagnosis.

This study demonstrated that AIRE-deficient rats exhibit key symptoms of APECED, making them a relevant model for exploring potential treatments.

This study found that non-ablative fractional erbium glass laser treatment affected gene regulation in human skin models by downregulating MMP and interleukin expression, suggesting potential roles in dermal remodeling and anti-inflammatory effects.

This study found that human outer root sheath cells express VEGF receptor-2, and exogenous VEGF165 significantly stimulates their proliferation through activation of the ERK signaling pathway.

An 81-year-old woman's severe male hormone symptoms were caused by an ovarian tumor, which was treated with surgery.

This review discusses the role of the androgen receptor in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, and notes a lack of new research results on its therapeutic potential.

This study documented the progression of exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German shorthaired pointers and found generally poor responses to therapies, including immunomodulatory drugs and a TNF-α inhibitor.

This study found that the Random Forest machine learning algorithm achieved the highest accuracy, 96%, in diagnosing Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome using patients' clinical data.

This review discusses the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures for men and highlights the importance of considering sex-specific factors for optimal treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the social and psychological impact of hair disorders and the challenges in their treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that both ethanol and aqueous extracts of Lepidium sativum seeds improved insulin signaling and reduced obesity-related metabolic changes in high-fat diet-fed rats, suggesting potential as a dietary supplement.

The authors concluded that utilizing clock gene expression from hair follicle cells may improve circadian-phase estimation in clinical settings, aiding the detection of circadian-related sleep problems despite social time constraints.

This study found that low doses of bisphenol A may increase proliferation of the ventral prostate in adult rats by altering the estrogen to androgen ratio and gene expression.

This study found that mice lacking myelin protein zero-like 3 (Mpzl3) had reduced body weight and adiposity despite increased food intake, which was linked to higher energy expenditure and improved glycemic control.

In this study, five patients with moderate hyperprolactinemia lacked symptoms, signs, or underlying causes, leading researchers to conclude that no further investigation or therapy was needed.

This study found that mixtures used in permanent hair dyes had irritant effects on reconstructed human epidermis, while individual ingredients alone did not.

Testosterone boosts fluid and electrolyte secretion in seminal vesicles, aiding sperm function.

Various treatments exist for hair loss, but more research is needed for better options.

This case study reports that a virilizing Leydig cell type ovarian tumor in a 40-year-old woman caused hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, which improved post-surgery.

The study suggests that male pattern baldness, a possible indicator of sex hormone levels, may be linked to an increased risk of gastric cancer in men.

This study found that among middle-aged Korean men, higher serum uric acid levels were associated with a reduced risk of developing lower urinary tract symptoms.

This study found that treatment with the pure antiandrogen Flutamide did not affect the estrous cycle or plasma levels of most hormones in female rats, supporting its potential use for treating hirsutism, acne, and alopecia in women.

This study found that in PCOS patients, variations in the lipin 1 gene, particularly the intron 1 SNP, may protect against insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, highlighting a potential genetic factor in the disorder's cardiometabolic complications.

The source does not provide an abstract for this letter to the editor, so specific results regarding the long-term efficacy and safety of dutasteride for male androgenetic alopecia are not reported.
