This study found that latanoprost induces significant growth and pigmentation of lashes and ancillary hairs, with effects mirroring both brief and chronic treatments observed in patients and animal models.

This study analyzed survey responses from 800 alopecia areata patients and found a possible genetic association with increased insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in relatives but not in the patients themselves.

In this study, researchers found that substance P triggered premature catagen development and immune changes in human scalp hair follicles, providing a possible biological link between stress and hair loss conditions like telogen effluvium and alopecia areata.

This review re-evaluates the role of Serum Prostate Specific Antigen in prostate cancer diagnosis, suggesting it is most reliable for detecting cancer recurrences after treatment.

This study found that 17-beta-estradiol inhibits hair growth in mice by blocking hair follicles in the telogen phase, whereas an estrogen receptor antagonist promotes hair growth by initiating anagen.

This article reviews potential prevention and intervention strategies for prostate cancer, including 5alpha-reductase inhibition, but reports no new clinical findings.

Progesterone reduces anxiety without needing progesterone receptors.

This article provides contact information for Bruce A. Morgan and features no new research findings.

This study found that hair products used by Black women and children in the U.S. contain multiple chemicals associated with endocrine disruption and asthma, highlighting potential exposure disparities and a need for improved labeling.

This study reports that three synthesized PSMA-targeted radioimaging agents demonstrated high affinity and specific localization to prostate cancer tumors in a mouse model, highlighting their potential for cancer detection and monitoring.

This review discusses the potential benefits and risks of 5α-reductase inhibitors in preventing prostate cancer and reports no new results.

This study found that cathepsin L deficiency in mice led to significant abnormalities in hair follicle development and cycling, including disrupted hair shaft outgrowth and premature hair growth phase entry.

This review discusses the diverse roles and characteristics of epidermal and dermal stem cells in skin regeneration and aging, highlighting their potential applications in regenerative medicine and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the mechanisms associated with protoporphyrin IX in living cells and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize its potential in cancer diagnosis and the risks of toxicity.

In this study, researchers found that transgenic expression of the Hairless gene in keratinocytes can restore hair follicle regeneration in Hr-deficient mice by repressing Wise, a modulator of Wnt signaling.

This study found that overexpression of PKCα in mouse epidermis increases expression of specific proinflammatory mediators and induces inflammation but does not significantly affect epidermal differentiation, proliferation, or tumor promotion with TPA.

This study found that a truncated region of the K5 promoter directs expression in stratified epithelia, particularly in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, potentially involving specific keratinocyte nuclear proteins in regulation.

This study found that differentiated cells of the corneal epithelium can be converted to hair and interfollicular epidermis through a multistep process involving dermal developmental signals.

The study found that prolactin expressed in human scalp hair follicles acts as an autocrine modulator, inhibiting hair growth and promoting hair follicle regression, which may contribute to hair loss in hyper-prolactinemia patients.

This study found that feeding aged mice a probiotic yogurt induced changes leading to thicker, healthier fur, suggesting a bacteria-triggered interleukin-10-dependent mechanism that mimics signs of youth and reproductive fitness.

This randomized pilot study suggests that finasteride may benefit some men with category IIIA chronic pelvic pain syndrome, although it is not recommended as monotherapy unless benign prostatic hyperplasia is also present.

Specific cross-linkages help make hair proteins stable and strong.

Finasteride effectively inhibits 5α reductase, while plant extracts like Permixon and Bazoton don't show significant results.

This study reports that progesterone metabolism to DHP and THP is necessary for its neuroprotective effect against kainic acid excitotoxicity in ovariectomized rats, unlike the synthetic progestin MPA.

This study found that keratin and other hair proteins in humans are extensively modified posttranslationally, which helps explain the structural characteristics of mature hair.

This review discusses evidence on androgen sensitivity as a potential factor in COVID-19 disease severity, suggesting that androgen receptor interactions could influence virus entry and progression, and reports no new clinical results.

This study reports the discovery of mutations in the PADI3, TGM3, and TCHH genes as molecular genetic causes of uncombable hair syndrome in children, indicating an autosomal-recessive inheritance pattern.

This study found that the pH-sensitive hydrogel HECHA13, containing isoliquiritigenin, effectively inhibited the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and showed promise for transdermal delivery in acne treatment.

Balanced protease activity is crucial for healthy skin and hair development.
