This study found that mouse and human protransglutaminase 3 enzymes require calcium-regulated activation for their role in later stages of cell envelope formation in the epidermis and hair follicle.

This study demonstrated the development of high-density protein microarrays allowing for antibody binding characterization and serum profiling from patients with autoimmune diseases, suggesting potential for diagnostic marker discovery.

This study discovered that the circadian clock influences hair follicle regeneration, making hair grow faster in the morning and causing more radiation-induced hair loss in the morning compared to the evening.

In this study, T3 and T4 were found to directly influence human hair follicles in vitro, enhancing keratinocyte proliferation, prolonging the hair growth phase, and affecting pigmentation.

In this study, the researchers found that mammalian hair likely evolved through the adaptation of existing structural proteins, as similar cysteine-rich α-keratins were identified in chicken and lizard genomes, suggesting pre-mammalian origins.

This review discusses the use of the zebrafish lateral line system as a model to study hair cell loss, protection, and regeneration, with potential implications for human hearing research.

This review suggests that understanding the biological and molecular reasons for more severe COVID-19 in men, particularly those at risk for prostate cancer, could improve management of these patients, but reports no new results.

This study found that all four treatments—flutamide, finasteride, ketoconazole, and EE-CPA—significantly reduced hirsutism, but EE-CPA and flutamide appeared most effective, with varying effects on androgen levels and side-effect profiles.

This review discusses current and emerging treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia and emphasizes the need for further research to optimize treatment selection, but reports no new clinical results.

Dihydrotestosterone gel improved well-being and sexual function in older men without negatively affecting prostate health.

This review discusses the rationale for targeting 5α-reductase isoenzymes in prostate cancer prevention and treatment, highlighting the potential benefits of using inhibitors like dutasteride and finasteride but reports no new experimental results.

This review examines current knowledge on human epithelial hair follicle stem cells, their markers, and outlines challenges in translating findings from murine studies to human research, but does not report new experimental results.

This study found that finasteride significantly improved symptoms in CP/CPPS patients, except for voiding, unlike saw palmetto which showed no long-term benefits.

In this study, sequences upstream of the TGM3 gene were found to regulate epithelial-specific gene expression in keratinocytes, suggesting potential applications in gene therapy.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties of progestins used in contraception and hormone replacement therapy, focusing on drospirenone's unique effects, but reports no new experimental findings.

This article reviews the challenges of fasting and dietary regimens in producing sustained weight loss and reports no new research findings or results.

This study concluded that daily treatment with 1 mg finasteride did not affect spermatogenesis or semen production in young men and had small, reversible effects on prostate volume and serum PSA.

This study found that PGF2alpha analogues and PGE2 stimulated hair follicle activity in mice, with PGF2alpha analogues also linked to potential side effects like poliosis when used as eye treatments.

This study indicates that reduced activity of the matriptase-prostasin proteolytic cascade is likely the cause of human autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis, as demonstrated using a novel mouse model.

This preliminary study suggests that finasteride might cause depressive symptoms, indicating the need for cautious prescription in patients at high risk for depression.

This study found that overexpression of PKCepsilon in transgenic mice reduced papilloma development but accelerated carcinoma formation in a skin tumor promotion model.

This study identified genetic mutations linked to congenital ichthyosis in families from the UAE and Turkey, revealing a connection between keratinization disorders and impaired filaggrin processing.

This review discusses the possible impacts of prolactin on skin conditions like psoriasis, alopecia, and stress-related dermatoses, emphasizing the need for further research to explore its therapeutic potential.

This review critically examines the current medical management strategies for BPH/LUTS and reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the etio-pathogenetic factors in benign prostatic hyperplasia and their role in the development of lower urinary tract symptoms but reports no new research findings.

This review discusses advances in protecting against chemotherapy-induced alopecia and reports no new clinical results; calcitriol and cyclosporine A emerged as promising agents in animal models with broader efficacy across multiple chemotherapy drugs.

This study identified WNT10A as crucial for adult epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation, suggesting β-catenin pathway activation may help address regenerative defects in WNT10A mutation patients.

In this study, significant elevations of DHA and testosterone were associated with pubic hair development and voice changes in boys during puberty.

This review describes the roles of 5α-reductase isozymes in prostate development and pathology and reports no new clinical results.
