This paper reviews the role of androgens in SARS-CoV-2 infection and their potential impact on disease severity, suggesting androgen-targeting strategies might influence outcomes, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that certain steroidal compounds, especially 10a–10c, demonstrated strong antiandrogenic activity by binding to the androgen receptor and reducing prostate weight in a hamster model.

This article discusses the follicular-unit grafting technique for hair transplantation and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight its potential for achieving natural-appearing outcomes but note the procedure's complexity.

This study observed that expanding regulatory T cells in the skin of mice with alopecia areata did not reverse the condition, indicating that additional immunotherapy may be necessary.

This review discusses the use of the feather model to explore tumorigenesis, regeneration, and hormone-dependent growth, highlighting its potential for advancing biomedical research, but reports no novel experimental results.

This Cochrane review found no clear superiority among treatments for central serous chorioretinopathy, with low-dose photodynamic therapy, supplements, and eplerenone showing slightly higher probabilities of improving visual acuity, but evidence remains uncertain due to biases and small study sizes.

This study found that finasteride gel 0.25% significantly decreased hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism over six months without any reported side effects.

Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.

Finasteride metabolism varies by age, sex, and P450 inducers, with males processing it faster.

Examining scalp biopsies in different ways helps better diagnose hair loss types.

This study suggests that finasteride may inhibit the enzyme PNMT, potentially contributing to its sexual and psychological side effects.

This article reviews common hair loss disorders, emphasizing their potential links to systemic disease and the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation, but reports no new clinical results.

This study confirms that finasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in human dermal fibroblasts, suggesting potential therapeutic use for androgen-related skin disorders.

This study found that the repressive histone mark H2AK119ub links inhibitory FGF signals with the quiescent state in hair follicle stem cells, revealing a signaling-epigenetic axis crucial for maintaining stem cell quiescence and tissue homeostasis.

In this research, the authors identify coordinated mechanical forces as crucial for hair follicle development in mammals, with contractile, proliferative, and proteolytic activities facilitating the formation and sectioning of epithelial structures crucial for forming a functional tissue.

This article reviews common dermatologic conditions seen in primary care, such as acne and skin cancer, but reports no new findings.
