In this study, complexation with cyclodextrins was reported to increase the solubility of FIN for potential use in aqueous formulations for treating male androgenic alopecia.

This article discusses the potential of oral bicalutamide as a promising treatment for female pattern hair loss and reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19, highlighting their potential as early indicators of infection, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that low-dose oral minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia was associated with a higher incidence of hypertrichosis and edema compared to previous studies, but it remains a generally well-tolerated treatment option.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiac events, including cerebrovascular accidents and myocardial infarction, although study heterogeneity affects the magnitude of risk.

This article describes the characteristics and management of hypertrichosis induced by low-dose oral minoxidil used for hair disorders, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found inflammation and fibrosis in both pattern hair loss cases and controls but concluded that these factors may not significantly contribute to the pathogenesis of pattern hair loss.

This study found that androgens downregulate BMP2 in dermal papilla cells, inhibiting hair follicle stem cell differentiation, while BMP2 addition may restore hair lineage differentiation through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

This letter discusses how severe baldness in men is associated with higher risk of severe COVID-19, and highlights research suggesting antiandrogen medications may improve outcomes.

This study reported that low-dose oral minoxidil combined with a 5α-reductase inhibitor improved hair density in most men with female pattern hair loss after 6 months or more of treatment.

In this study, among patients taking hydroxychloroquine for dermatologic or rheumatologic conditions, none developed symptoms suggestive of SARS-CoV-2 infection despite Italy's high infection rate at the time.

This report describes a case where rituximab provided durable remission in a patient with refractory aggressive diffuse B-cell lymphoma that was unresponsive to prior chemotherapy.

This study found that examining hair morphology provides deeper insights than classification, suggesting a potential population stratification artefact between hair curvature and cross-sectional shapes in the examined admixed African-European sample.

This study found no significant genetic correlations between male pattern baldness and COVID-19 outcomes, suggesting that shared genetic factors may not explain the reported association.

This article discusses the potential use of platelet-rich plasma as a treatment for vitiligo, but reports no new clinical results; further investigation is needed.

In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, researchers found that cow placenta extract lotion was as effective as topical minoxidil 2% in increasing hair count for women with androgenetic alopecia over six months, though the mean increases in hair count were similar for both treatments.

This study found that in male yaks, 5α-red1 may play a crucial role in synthesizing DHT to promote hair follicle growth, while E2 synthesized by epithelial cells may inhibit this growth through ERα.

This article reviews global insights on how COVID-19 has transformed the practice of dermatology, but it reports no new clinical results.

Scalp micro-wounding helps promote hair growth in female pattern hair loss.

This study observed that patients with scalp dysesthesia frequently exhibited cervical spine degenerative changes, which localized predominantly in the lower cervical spine, and reported modest symptom improvement with neuropathic pain medications and physical therapy.

In this study, platelet-rich plasma injections improved hair density by 19.17% in men with androgenetic alopecia over six months, although results varied by alopecia pattern.

In this study, researchers reported that adenosine stimulated hair shaft elongation in cultured human hair follicles by promoting proliferation and prolonging the anagen phase, suggesting the A2B adenosine receptor in outer root sheath keratinocytes as a promising target for treating hair growth disorders like alopecia.

In this correspondence, researchers reported that very-low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/d) showed some effectiveness in stabilizing trichoscopic parameters in male androgenetic alopecia. However, their analysis suggests that higher doses (2.5–5 mg/d) may lead to better clinical responses with similar rates of adverse events.

This report shares the authors' experience using spironolactone for treating acne in a PCOS clinic, but provides no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana supplements for five days altered the urinary steroid profile in a way that may interfere with the steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport.

This research discusses androgenic alopecia's potential role in severe COVID-19 symptomatology and suggests further exploration of the scalp's role in virus transmission.

In this study, forming inclusion complexes of Finasteride and poly (ethylene glycol) resulted in significantly improved solubility and dissolution rates, suggesting a promising new solid form for enhanced drug release.

This article reviews maternal-fetal outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes and COVID-19 through a case study and literature analysis but reports no new clinical results.

The commentary suggests that certain hair and skin care products may be linked to frontal fibrosing alopecia, but not sunscreens, and calls for more thorough research on the causes.

This study introduced a new high-throughput method for analyzing scalp hair morphology and found that quantifying hair form provides more accurate information than traditional classification based on racial categories, challenging the belief that cross-sectional morphology predicts hair curvature.
