In this pilot study, topical latanoprost acid was observed to increase hair count and improve hair follicle structure in women with androgenetic alopecia, with no serious adverse events, suggesting potential for further investigation to confirm its efficacy and safety.

This study found that Cnidium officinale extract and its compound ferulic acid improved hair growth by promoting dermal papilla cell function and mitochondrial activity, suggesting their potential as a new treatment option for alopecia, possibly through estrogen receptor alpha activation.

In this study, cedrol was found to reduce lipid accumulation in the liver and adipose tissues of dexamethasone-treated mice by antagonizing glucocorticoid receptors, suggesting its potential utility in treating dexamethasone-induced lipid metabolism disorders.

In this study, the researchers found that glucocorticoid receptor activation may influence glucose metabolism, with preventive GR antagonist treatment reducing hyperglycemia and restoring glucose tolerance in a PCOS mouse model.

This study found that melatonin receptor genes play a key regulatory role in the development of goose skin feather follicles during embryonic development.

This study observed that in an ex vivo setting, 17β-estradiol increased CB1 expression in human hair follicles, suggesting possible sensitivity to endocannabinoids and a potential mechanism for hair therapy.

This study found that isolated human scalp hair follicles express PGE2 genes and EP2 protein, suggesting PGE2 may play a crucial role in regulating hair growth.

This study, conducted among Egyptians, found a borderline significant association between the Stul polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene and androgenetic alopecia in males, with higher androgen receptor expression in balding scalp areas.

Combining RU58841 and minoxidil significantly increases hair growth.

This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia demonstrated higher androgen receptor gene expression compared to controls, with a correlation found between higher AR expression and fewer CAG repeats in the AR gene.

This review discusses the molecular role of the vitamin D receptor in regulating various biological actions such as bone mineralization and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the complexity of vitamin D's function in multiple tissues.

Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.

This review discusses the classification, pathogenesis, and management of skin, hair, nail, and mucosal changes due to EGFR inhibitors, emphasizing the importance of informing patients to improve therapy compliance.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor in lampreys, which lack bones and hair, binds 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and may function to induce enzymes for detoxifying substances.

This study found that the absence of the vitamin D receptor disrupts hair follicle structure during the first catagen in mice, linked to increased expression of the hairless gene.

This study found that premature hair loss due to stress does not occur in NK-1 receptor knockout or mast cell deficient mice, suggesting a key role for neurokinin substance P and mast cell interaction in stress-related hair follicle changes.

This study found that overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein in mice resulted in 30–40% shorter hair due to premature transition into the catagen phase of the hair cycle.

This review discusses the challenges and potential solutions in studying Demodex mites and their possible pathogenic role in human skin disorders but reports no new findings.

This study suggests that neurosteroids and compounds acting on GABA(A) receptors, like THIP, may modulate ethanol intake by influencing drinking patterns.

This study found that high levels of parathyroid hormone-related protein expression can result in the production of shorter hair shafts, likely through effects on angiogenesis.

This study demonstrates that FMOD deficiency in mice alters TGF-β ligand and receptor expression during wound healing stages, leading to delayed wound closure and increased scar size.

This article discusses the challenges and possible solutions in hair restoration surgery, focusing on donor hair availability, hair survival, and concealing surgical evidence, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that c-Jun is essential for vitamin D receptor expression, and the vitamin D receptor inhibits c-Jun-dependent cell death through non-classical mechanisms independent of vitamin D3.

In this study, the researchers found that vitamin D and calcium signaling in keratinocytes are essential for normal skin regeneration after wounding, with deficiencies significantly delaying wound closure and re-epithelialization in mice.

This study found that the protein hairless acts as both a corepressor and coactivator of the vitamin D receptor, influencing gene transcription in a ligand-selective manner.

This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride significantly reduced L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson's disease, with dutasteride showing greater effectiveness at lower doses.

In this study, mutations in the vitamin D receptor were identified in Brazilian children with rickets and alopecia, leading to impaired receptor activation and reduced 24-hydroxylase expression.

This study suggests that lower serum and tissue vitamin D receptor levels in alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia patients may play a role in the pathogenesis of these hair diseases.

This review discusses the adverse skin effects of EGFR inhibitors used in cancer treatment, exploring their mechanisms and offering strategies for prevention and management, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 significantly increased the expression and activity of vasculoprotective natriuretic peptide receptor-A in cultured inner medullary collecting duct cells, suggesting a potential mechanistic role in cardiovascular and renal benefits.
