This study reported that 5 alpha-reductase type 2 is the predominant enzyme in pubic skin fibroblasts across normal men, women, and hirsute patients, suggesting potential treatment options for idiopathic hirsutism.

This study suggests that IL-17 may play a more significant role than IFN-γ in the pathogenesis of chronic alopecia areata, with increasing severity linked to Th17 lymphocytes and cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration.

CD8+ T cells re-expressing CD45RA may predict treatment resistance in severe alopecia areata.

This study found that activin affects both stromal cells and keratinocytes in skin morphogenesis and repair, with dose-dependent effects on keratinocytes demonstrated through transgenic mouse models.

This study suggests that in human osteoblast-like cells, the 5alpha-reductase type 1 isozyme predominantly catalyzes the conversion of testosterone to DHT, which may play a role in bone homeostasis.

In this study, researchers discovered that HEY2+ dermal papilla cells exhibit stemness and contribute to dermal regeneration during wound healing, as shown by the expression of a reporter gene in regenerated dermal cells of tamoxifen-induced transgenic mice.

This review discusses definitions of polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new clinical results; the authors support using modified 1990 NIH criteria and acknowledge ongoing evolution as research advances.

This mini-review discusses the role of androgens, specifically testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, in the pathogenesis of autoimmune liver diseases and reports no new results.

This study identified overexpression of certain immune-related genes and underexpression of genes in specific signaling pathways in premature androgenetic alopecia, suggesting potential new therapeutic targets.

This study observed a significant increase in telogen effluvium cases among people of color during the COVID-19 pandemic in NYC, notably affecting Hispanic/Latinx individuals.

This review discusses the use of finasteride for treating hidradenitis suppurativa and reports favorable outcomes in several cases, suggesting it could be an effective and safe option for certain patients.

This study suggests that high proliferative activity and peripheral invasion are key indicators of malignancy in canine sebaceous gland tumours. It also reports a higher incidence of circumanal gland and testicular tumours, indicating a possible androgen-related pathway in tumour development.

This study suggests that the PPP2R3C gene may confer susceptibility to psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis vulgaris in Chinese patients, with additional possible associations involving IL-23R, ERN1, IFIH1, and KIF3A genes.

Higher CRP levels suggest chronic inflammation is linked to bladder-related urinary symptoms in men with enlarged prostates.

Intramuscular triamcinolone and pulse therapy with oral predonine are effective for alopecia areata with manageable side effects, but better relapse prevention is needed.

This article reviews treatment approaches for cicatricial alopecia, describing how medication efficacy varies and suggesting autologous hair transplantation for stable cases; no new clinical data are presented.

This report diagnosed a 68-year-old man with comedonal folliculotropic mycosis fungoides based on clinical and histopathological findings, and found pegylated interferon alpha-2a with isotretinoin beneficial in reducing skin lesions.

This study concluded that hair follicle hyperplasia found in pseudolymphomatous folliculitis can also occur in genuine cutaneous lymphomas, potentially as a coincidental result of underlying pathological processes.

This study reported a predominance of adult patients, mostly women, with Trichophyton violaceum tinea capitis in southern Taiwan, noting a bimodal age distribution and questioning whether this represents a new trend.

This review found a predominance of low serum zinc levels across various skin disorders, indicating possible value in further investigating zinc supplementation as an adjunctive therapy.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women, can be associated with lichen planus, and may lead to progressive hairline recession, though this progression is not consistent in all cases.

This study observed that human hair macrofibrils predominantly exhibit a double-twist architecture with varying inter-macrofibril angles, advancing insights into their structural organization and mechanical implications.

This study found that KRTAP2 proteins predominantly express in the hair shaft cortex of humans, interact with hair keratins, and play crucial roles in hair shaft keratinization.

This study found that sebaceous glands predominantly exhibit oxidative activity of the type 2 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isozyme, which is not inhibited by 13-cis retinoic acid.

This study observed that NSPC predominantly differentiated into neurons when exposed to serum fractions with molecules under 100 kDa, particularly with biomaterial and fibronectin, in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor.

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 study found that cicatricial alopecia predominantly affects middle-aged Libyan females, with conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus among the most common diagnoses.

This study reported that lichen planopilaris predominantly affects females over 60, with a registered prevalence rate of 0.02581%, and is often associated with autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, suggesting a need for further research to enhance treatment approaches.

This review interprets PCOS as a kapha-predominant disorder within the Ayurvedic framework, characterized by medoduṣhṭi, a feeble state of rasa dhatvagni, and margavaraṇa, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that systemic lupus erythematosus predominantly affects young adults, with diverse symptoms including mucocutaneous and renal involvement, and highlights the significance of early detection for improved management.
