Wnt/β-catenin signaling is crucial for cell fusion in placental development.

Finasteride increases hair growth, prolongs hair cycle, and lowers dihydrotestosterone levels.

This study found that a significant portion of counterfeit drugs seized among bodybuilders did not match their labels, with many containing undeclared anabolic steroids or other unexpected active ingredients.

This study found that finasteride effectively reduced hirsutism in women during 12 months of treatment, with some effects persisting in the majority after stopping the medication.

This study developed a high performance capillary electrophoresis method, validated for both legal and illicit minoxidil-based products, to confirm minoxidil's presence alongside known impurities.

Thyroid hormone may be useful for treating various skin conditions and needs more research.

This perspective suggests that browning agents may not directly enhance UCP1 expression in white adipose tissue but instead induce browning through increased heat loss, prompting thermogenesis to compensate.

A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

The researchers found that inhibiting soluble epoxide hydrolase, either genetically or pharmacologically, delayed the onset of chemically induced seizures related to GABA antagonism in experimental models.

This study found that SRD5a-3 is a highly efficient enzyme for converting hormones into androgens, with dutasteride being a much more potent inhibitor of SRD5a-3 than SRD5a-2.

This study found that overexpression of AKR1C3 in prostate cancer cells redirected androgen metabolism towards testosterone production, which facilitated cell proliferation, potentially reducing the effectiveness of finasteride treatment.

This study found that using 3D dermal papilla spheroid models enhances extracellular matrix production and hair follicle marker expression, providing insights into hair follicle biology and potential for drug screening.

This article reviews treatment options for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, including skin-directed therapies and aggressive treatments for advanced cases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study discovered a novel interaction between the vitamin D receptor and LEF1, essential for normal Wnt signaling in keratinocytes, which is crucial for regular hair cycling.

This essay reviews the role of human scalp hair follicles in the "brain-skin connection," highlighting their dual function as targets and sources of neurohormones, without reporting new experimental results.

This review discusses the use of antiandrogens for various conditions like prostate cancer and highlights their potential benefits in remission rates and symptom improvement, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the classic skin characteristics of hypothyroidism, notably generalized myxedema caused by increased glycosaminoglycan deposition, and reports no clinical results.

In this study, cashmere goats engineered to overexpress the Tβ4 gene in hair follicles produced more cashmere, indicating that Tβ4 promotes secondary hair follicle development and enhances yield.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor, but not its ligand, regulates genes involved in hair cycle progression, suggesting a role in integrating hormone signaling pathways for hair and epidermal functions.

This study observed that exosomes from adipose mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing hepatocyte growth factor significantly improved liver function and reduced fibrosis in mice with experimentally induced liver injury.

This review covers androgenetic alopecia's epidemiology, pathogenesis, current management options, and research trends, concluding that no definitive cure exists despite extensive interest and ongoing genetic research efforts.

This review discusses the complex relationship between melasma and factors like female sex hormones, genetics, and ultraviolet light exposure, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that vitamin D regulates cholesterol metabolism and may influence prostate cancer development through mechanisms affecting prostate cell growth and sex hormone metabolism.

This investigation found that certain supplements, particularly whey protein isolate, growth hormones, and anabolic steroids, can negatively impact hair loss by affecting biochemical pathways.

In this study, researchers identified six novel prognostic biomarkers for bladder cancer and developed a predictive model that effectively stratifies patients into high-risk and low-risk groups based on immune cell infiltration differences and gene expression.

In this study, TENS of the T6 dermatome over a longer term was explored for its effects on weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and appetite-regulating hormones in obese subjects with moderate obstructive sleep apnea; however, results are not reported in the abstract.

This review reports the first known case of hair repigmentation associated with lamivudine use and examines mechanisms related to drug-induced hair repigmentation, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for reversing hair graying.

This study found that Soxhlet extraction is more effective at removing the toxin mimosine from Leucaena leucocephala, and mimosine shows promise as a biodiesel additive due to its antioxidative properties.

High-resolution imaging is crucial for diagnosing and planning treatments in clinical anatomy and aging.

This study found that haploinsufficiency of SPINK5 can lead to Netherton syndrome when a single null mutation combines with homozygous G1258A polymorphisms, suggesting it acts as a genuine mutation affecting LEKTI function.
