This review discusses various methods to conceal hair loss, such as wigs and hair transplants, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that variations in mineral content of hair, such as increased Zr in asthma and respiratory infections, may be linked to different illnesses, suggesting potential diagnostic use.

This study found that the S100A4/NMIIA axis contributes to glioblastoma progression by recruiting and promoting migration of GBM cells along blood vessels, correlating with worse patient outcomes.

This study observed that estrogen receptor β and androgen receptor expressions in the skin decline with age, more noticeably under sun exposure, suggesting a role in skin aging.

This study found that applying 2.5% testosterone gel increased facial terminal hairs in young males with beta-thalassemia major and was well tolerated.

In a double-blind clinical trial, this study found that a gel containing chitosan-coated spironolactone nanoparticles effectively reduced acne lesions over 8 weeks without adverse skin effects, suggesting potential for enhanced acne treatment through targeted skin delivery.

This study found that coffee berry extract demonstrated anti-aging properties in skin and hair cells, showing significant anti-collagenase activity and stimulating hair-related gene expression, suggesting its potential for use in cosmeceuticals.

This review discusses the role of nanoparticles in cancer diagnosis and treatment and outlines their potential to improve outcomes by reducing systemic toxicity and overcoming multidrug resistance, though it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, Japanese patients with alopecia areata were found to have higher BMI and retinol intake, with retinol intake predicting severity of hair loss.

This study found that patients with cutaneous lichen planus had a higher risk of metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension compared to controls.

This review summarizes the association between 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and depression, discussing potential mechanisms such as neuroactive steroid alterations and neuroinflammation, but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that SARS-CoV-2 shedding significantly decreased after remdesivir treatment, irrespective of RT-PCR cycle threshold values, suggesting early de-isolation might be possible in severe COVID-19 cases.

This study found that finasteride caused adverse effects on liver, kidney, and heart tissues in female mice, raising concerns about its potential use in females for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study observed that noncertified Kohl used in Iranian cities contained heavy metals within WHO suggested limits, but highlighted concerns due to high levels in some samples.

In this study, the researchers performed a comparative analysis of drug-target interaction data from multiple databases to refine drug repurposing strategies, revealing potential associations between drug characteristics and therapeutic groups, and predicting repositioning opportunities for FDA-approved drugs across major cancer types.

This study found that using topical latanoprost 0.005% solution significantly increased hair density and regrowth in patients with scalp alopecia areata over 12 weeks, although it did not significantly reduce hair loss area compared to the placebo.

This review concludes that oral nutraceuticals like Nutrafol® and Viviscal® modestly promote hair growth in individuals with androgenetic alopecia and might be considered as supplementary treatments.

In this study, scalp hair sweating was a significant predictor of hair cortisol levels in healthy adults, while BMI and perceived stress, although associated, did not significantly predict cortisol levels.

In this randomized trial, the researchers observed that both montelukast and finasteride effectively reduced acne severity and lesion count in women with moderate acne, but finasteride showed greater efficacy. Both medications had transient, non-serious side effects, indicating satisfactory tolerability and safety.

This case report presents a rare instance of an ovarian steroid cell tumor in a 68-year-old female with virilism, which normalized androgen levels following surgical removal.

This study found that sodium and potassium levels in scalp hair might be sex-specific indicators, while females had slightly higher copper and iron levels, particularly during the reproductive period.

In this study, researchers evaluated drug-target interaction data from three major resources and developed a framework for drug repurposing, revealing associations between drug properties and therapeutic groups to aid in compound prioritization and predicting repositioning opportunities for existing drugs, particularly in cancer treatment.

This study found that combining excimer light at 308 nm with tacrolimus 0.1% was more effective in treating alopecia areata of the scalp compared to excimer light alone, as indicated by a greater reduction in the SALT score and better improvement in Treg function.

In this case study, a 30-year-old woman with symptoms including fever, joint pain, and skin ulcers was diagnosed with Lupus Vasculitis and treated with steroids, mycophenolate mofetil, and hydroxychloroquine after tests showed positive anti-nuclear and anti-Ro antibodies and reduced serum complement levels.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata experience reduced quality of life, particularly among women and those with severe or long-lasting disease.

This study found that COVID-19 had more severe outcomes in asthmatic patients, with increased ICU admissions and oxygen needs, particularly when asthma control was poor.

This study found that prolonged use of finasteride in women led to altered levels of sex steroids, DNA damage, and increased menstrual bleeding, suggesting adverse health effects without clear benefits for androgenetic alopecia treatment.

This study mapped the development of the human pilosebaceous unit in prenatal scalp skin using multi-modal analysis, finding that epithelial-mesenchymal interactions guide cellular fate and validated tissue-patterning through a hair-bearing skin organoid model.

This study conducted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reported that severe alopecia areata presents significant treatment challenges due to limited therapies, leading to substantial impacts on patients' quality of life, mental health, and economic burdens.
