The conclusion is that Treg-targeted therapies have potential, but more knowledge of Treg biology is needed for effective treatments, including for cancer.

Flutamide effectively reduced excessive hair growth and improved related symptoms in hirsutism patients without significant side effects.

Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.

TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.

New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.

Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling controls cell development and repair, and its malfunction can cause disorders and cancer, but it also offers potential for targeted therapies.

Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.

Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair regrowth, while treatments for alopecia areata have varying success and continuous treatment is necessary.

The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.

Zinc is crucial for nutrition, especially in patients with specific health conditions, and requires careful supplementation and monitoring.

Lignans and neolignans from plants may help protect against various health issues, including cancer and heart disease.

Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.

Minoxidil is the only FDA-approved topical drug for treating male or female pattern hair loss, and other medications like finasteride and dutasteride can also increase hair growth.

Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.

Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.

Finasteride improves chronic pelvic pain, saw palmetto doesn't.

Olive oil compounds may help prevent cancer in animals, but human results are mixed.

Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.

FGF signaling is a promising target for developing treatments for wounds, metabolic diseases, and cancer.

Male pattern hair loss is genetic and influenced by hormones, with treatments like minoxidil and surgery available.

The document concludes that better biomarkers are needed to detect long-term oral testosterone use in athletes.

Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.

Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.

Hair loss in men treated best with early medication or transplant, new treatments researched.

The study found that two enzymes linked to hair loss are located in different parts of the scalp, supporting a common treatment's effectiveness.

Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.

Thymosin β4 promotes hair growth by activating stem cells in hair follicles.
