This review discusses the essential roles and complex regulation of PP2A in various physiological processes and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the need for further mouse model research to explore PP2A's therapeutic potential.

This study developed a mouse model to mimic PHGDH gene copy number gain, finding that increased PHGDH expression leads to abnormal melanin production, which may offer insights into its role in melanoma.

This review discusses sex differences in Parkinson's disease and highlights that while men are more frequently affected, androgen-modulating treatments have not yet proven effective for PD, though 5α-reductase inhibitors show potential for further study.

This study found that treating neonatal mice with the neurotoxin 6-OHDA resulted in temporary hair loss and thinner skin compared to control mice, linking sympathetic neurons to hair growth and skin thickness.

This review highlights the inadequacy of the "specificity paradigm" in drug design for complex diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer, suggesting a shift toward developing multitarget drugs to improve treatment efficacy by interacting with multiple targets through various mechanisms.

In this study, finasteride altered the expression of nine proteins in the rat nucleus accumbens, suggesting new therapeutic targets and mechanisms for its effects on neuropsychiatric conditions.

This study found that actively targeted AN2728-loaded nanocarriers reduced inflammation and improved skin condition in a mouse model of psoriasiform inflammation compared to free drug and non-targeted nanoparticles.

This case report details the challenging diagnostic journey of a 50-year-old woman with progressive supranuclear palsy, highlighting the disease's complex and variable clinical presentation.

This study suggests that chronic treatment with TPA in mouse skin selectively expands a keratinocyte subpopulation hyperinducible for ODC, which may be a key target for neoplastic transformation.

This study found that administering botulinum toxin A via Flex-PADs to mouse footpads inhibited sweating similarly to traditional injections, suggesting a promising patient-friendly delivery method for hyperhidrosis treatment.

This review assesses existing knowledge about the 17q21.31 inversion polymorphism, highlighting its genetic structure differences across ancestries, associations with various diseases, and implications for precision medicine and drug discovery.

In this study, researchers identified PSENEN mutations that can lead to a form of Dowling-Degos disease, characterized by follicular hyperkeratosis and an increased susceptibility to acne inversa, especially in the presence of certain trigger factors.

This study found distinct hair metal profiles in Parkinson's disease patients, with lower iron and copper, higher manganese and arsenic, and explored their link to gut dysfunction and microbiota dysbiosis, suggesting hair metal analysis as a promising diagnostic tool.

In this study, finasteride was found to inhibit the dopaminergic system and reduce open-field behaviors in adolescent male rats by decreasing dopamine levels and related proteins.

This review examines experimental and clinical evidence on PDRN, a drug derived from salmon DNA that acts via the adenosine A2A receptor and shows promise for tissue repair and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in regenerative medicine.

This study found that stem cells derived from spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients exhibited reduced androgen receptor levels and HDAC6, providing potential insights into the disease mechanism for future therapies.

Haloperidol decanoate can cause alopecia areata.

This study found that dutasteride may help prevent enteric neuronal damage in an animal model of Parkinson's disease, highlighting its potential for drug repurposing to address neuroinflammation.

This study found that isoallopregnanolone reduced stress-induced tic-like behaviors and sensorimotor gating deficits in a mouse model of Tourette syndrome, suggesting potential therapeutic properties comparable to existing treatments like haloperidol and finasteride.

In this study, the researchers found that depleting natural polyamines or manipulating translation rates can enhance the stemness of hair follicle stem cells, while N1-acetylspermidine increases proliferation without affecting translation.

This study found that poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) synthesis in human skin varies by cell type and condition, with distinct patterns in psoriatic, cancerous, and normal tissues.

This review assesses the potential of dutasteride as a promising treatment for ALS due to its reported neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, but emphasizes that clinical studies are needed for confirmation.

This study reports a case of a child with congenital skin fragility, alopecia, and cardiomyopathy due to compound heterozygous mutations in the DSP gene causing desmoplakin deficiency.

This case report details a 21-year-old woman with dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, presenting with generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, diffuse noncicatricial alopecia, onychodystrophy, palmoplantar keratoderma, and poorly developed dermatoglyphics.

This study found that VPS13C variants are significantly enriched in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), associating these variants with more severe symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, and faster progression from iRBD to overt α-synucleinopathy in the iRBD-first disease subtype.

This study found that TPA treatment transiently induces high levels of ODC in mouse epidermal cells, particularly around hair follicles, with localization reduced by retinoic acid or cycloheximide pretreatment.

This study reported that clozapine and its metabolite showed a preference for binding to pigmented hair, but were also detectable in non-pigmented hair of patients with Parkinson's, with high correlations between dose and hair concentration.

This study found that blocking GABA(A) receptors in cat dorsal horn neurons increased evoked activity and background discharge, highlighting differences in inhibitory control systems compared to glycine receptors.
