This article reviews the challenges in treating PCOS, noting the potential benefits of insulin sensitizers on ovulatory function and pregnancy outcomes, and calls for more long-term studies on metabolic interventions.

This review outlines the underlying pathophysiology and treatment options for the androgen excess and reproductive and metabolic manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that finasteride decreased DHT-stimulated AR activity and cell growth in prostate cancer cells with mutant AR, but not in those with wild type AR.

This review focuses on the medical treatment of common nonscarring alopecias, including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium, and reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses recent advancements in treatments for psoriasis, including new drug approvals and innovative therapeutic approaches, but reports no new clinical results.

Hair growth is influenced by factors like genetics and nutrition, and more research is needed to understand hair loss and growth mechanisms.

In this meta-analysis, researchers found that moxibustion combined with oriental herbal medicine may improve pregnancy rates and other outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to western medication alone; however, the evidence is limited by the poor quality of included studies.
