This review discusses recent treatments for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting progress beyond minoxidil to include oral and topical finasteride, dutasteride, and promising adjuvant therapies, but reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize ongoing research and potential new options.

This study suggests that DHT may have a less potent effect on the prostate compared to testosterone while maintaining safety and similar effects on erythropoiesis and lipids.

This study found that administering testosterone to pregnant rats altered connexin 26 and connexin 43 expression in the uterus, which could disrupt embryo implantation and cause early pregnancy loss.

This book reviews the various types of acne and acneiform conditions, as well as their treatment options, with expert insights from multiple fields.

This review summarizes the use of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite analysis to monitor stress across various bear species and reports no new clinical results.

Skin-derived stem cells could help treat skin aging and pigmentation issues.

In this review, researchers highlighted that COVID-19 can cause various skin manifestations like maculopapular rashes and "COVID toes," which often precede or appear without respiratory symptoms, suggesting their potential for early detection and prognostic evaluation, especially in severe cases.

This study found that infections and eczematous conditions were the most common skin disorders across all ages, with acne vulgaris being notably prevalent in adolescents and young adults.

This article proposes a mechanistic model for how platelet-rich plasma therapy may stimulate hair growth in androgenetic alopecia by promoting vascularization and activating specific signaling pathways, but it reports no new experimental results.

This review explores the role of the TMPRSS2 gene in facilitating SARS-CoV-2 infection and its potential as a therapeutic target in COVID-19 and other respiratory infections, highlighting challenges in developing selective inhibitors.

This study found that finasteride significantly improved symptoms in CP/CPPS patients, except for voiding, unlike saw palmetto which showed no long-term benefits.

In castrated rats, this study found that triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum inhibited both types of 5α-reductase and reduced prostate growth linked to testosterone but not dihydrotestosterone.

In this study, saw palmetto supplements showed varied effects on cell growth in vitro and did not significantly inhibit growth in the hamster flank organ model despite a notable trend.

Saw palmetto helps with nighttime urination and urine flow, similar to finasteride.

This study concluded that shampoos sold in pharmacies generally contain fewer regulated allergens under EU law compared to those sold in mass-market stores or by mail order, and pharmacy-sold baby shampoos were allergen-free.

In this study, researchers examined a document submitted by Jakeline Ortega related to Joandele Cristina da Silva Barcelos, but results or specific findings are not reported in the abstract.

This study identified a set of wound-induced genes in planarians that play a role in regeneration initiation, with some genes specifically activating within regenerative cells called neoblasts.

This study found that matriptase, a membrane serine protease, is crucial for maintaining multiple types of epithelial tissues in mice, with its absence leading to severe organ dysfunction and increased permeability.

This review discusses the applications and research on fibroblast growth factors, including their use in wound healing, diabetes, and cancer, but it reports no new clinical results.

This analysis suggests that platelet-rich plasma therapy may be promising for treating androgenetic alopecia, but further controlled trials with standardized measures are needed to confirm its efficacy.

This review suggests that platelet-rich plasma is a low-risk treatment for androgenic alopecia with good patient satisfaction and positive objective outcomes, but further research is needed to refine methods and standardize outcome measurements.

This review discusses the potential mechanisms of platelet-rich plasma in facial rejuvenation and reports no new clinical results, indicating a theoretical basis for its use in tissue regeneration.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in rodent models, the ability of D1 dopamine receptor activation to impair sensory gating is facilitated by 5α-reductase type 1, which produces allopregnanolone.

In this study of a TRPS type I patient, many genes related to keratin and hair development were down-regulated in balding scalp areas, providing new insights into TRPS and hair morphogenesis.

In this review, researchers discussed recent insights into caspases, enzymes initially associated with cell death and inflammation, revealing their broader roles in cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation, and highlighting the importance of caspase knock-out mice for understanding their implications in diseases.

This study found that overexpression of R-spondin 3 in a mice model impaired hair morphogenesis and regeneration by reducing hair matrix progenitor cell proliferation, thus disrupting the Wnt pathway's regulation of stem cells.

Chicken feather gene mutation helps understand human hair disorders.

This study found that pretreatment combining maceration with press-shear force and moist heat significantly increased the total phenolic and flavonoid contents in galactagogue herbs like banana inflorescences and Thai ginger.

This study identified numerous drugs with potential to trigger vitiligo, cautioning that these pharmacovigilance findings need further validation and that patients on these medications should be monitored for vitiligo development.
