This study suggests that inhibiting 5α-reductase activity alone, particularly with the type 1 inhibitor MK386, may not effectively reduce sebocyte activity or improve acne.

This review discusses the classification and diagnosis of primary cicatricial alopecias and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for effective treatments owing to limited evidence of current therapies' efficacy.

This article reviews treatment options for male androgenetic alopecia, including minoxidil, 5 alpha reductase inhibitors, and hair transplantation, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that oral contraceptives effectively suppressed hyperandrogenemia in most patients with hyperandrogenic-insulin-resistant acanthosis nigricans syndrome, though GnRH-a therapy was beneficial for those not responding initially.

Minoxidil solution can cause skin irritation and allergies in some users.

This study identified that the Wave complex proteins ABI1 and Wave2 play a crucial role in regulating epidermal shape and growth during skin development, notably influencing SOX9 expression and Wnt signaling pathways.

This study found that hair luster decreases with age in Japanese females, primarily due to an irregular increase in fiber curvature which affects hair alignment.

This study found that trichothiodystrophy can be diagnosed prenatally in the second trimester using an endoscopically-guided fetal eyebrow biopsy, with sulfur content analysis being the most reliable test.

The document concludes that there are still unknowns about the effectiveness, risks, and detection of performance-enhancing drugs, and doping remains a challenge.

This study indicates that activating K+ channels in dermal papilla cells alone may not promote hair growth, despite some openers being effective on certain channels.

Breast pain is common and usually not linked to cancer, with treatment varying by severity.

This study provided the first published case reports of alopecia associated with the use of quetiapine.

This study found that mechlorethamine restored hair growth in mice with alopecia-areata-like disease by eliminating infiltrated lymphocytes and inhibiting certain pro-inflammatory cytokines in treated skin areas.

This study found that a 5-mg daily dose of transdermal testosterone cream in postmenopausal women restored testosterone levels to those typical of premenopausal women.

This study found that dexamethasone effectively suppressed DHEAS levels in women with elevated levels using much lower doses than previously thought, without significant adverse effects.

This study found that acellular dermal matrix scaffolds may facilitate full-thickness skin wound healing by promoting a pro-regenerative immune response through M2 macrophage polarization via the Lamtor1 pathway.

This study observed that sera from Covaxin-vaccinated individuals showed reduced neutralization ability against the Omicron variant compared to B.1, Beta, and Delta variants, with breakthrough infections boosting immune response more effectively than vaccination alone.

This article discusses the principles and considerations of clinical photography for hair disorders in dermatology, reporting no new clinical findings.

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 normal human melanocytes can be protected from apoptosis through both PI 3-kinase/Akt-dependent and independent pathways, with insulin and TPA offering nearly complete protection.

This study found that co-applying Curcuma aeruginosa extract or essential oil with minoxidil significantly increased minoxidil's skin penetration in an ex vivo setting, suggesting an improved topical treatment strategy for androgenic alopecia with greater efficacy and the potential for lower minoxidil doses.

This study found evidence suggesting that hypertrichosis may be an adverse effect of inhaled corticosteroids in children, although it does not always resolve after stopping treatment.

This study found that muscle-only free flaps for skull coverage were associated with serious complications, suggesting that composite or thicker muscle flaps may reduce these risks.

This review discusses the use of microneedling for androgenetic alopecia and finds it promising for enhancing hair density and thickness, especially when combined with other treatments, but notes no standardized protocol exists yet.

This study found that regio-specific hydroxylation of cyclosporine A in Sebekia benihana is mediated by the cytochrome P450 hydroxylase CYP-sb21, suggesting potential biotechnological applications for hair growth promotion without immunosuppressive effects.

This study found that injecting interferon gamma into C3H/HeJ mice did not alter the frequency or onset of alopecia areata, suggesting the protein alone does not trigger the disease.

In this study, Bushman women in various life stages had higher levels of iron and zinc in their hair compared to Bantu and American mothers, with iron deficiency anemia being rare among them.

In this study, gender-affirming hormonal treatment was associated with increased hair growth, acne, and alopecia prevalence in transgender individuals assigned female at birth, while opposite dermatological changes were observed in those assigned male at birth.

This review explores the mechanism and potential applications of wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis but reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for further research in hair regeneration therapies.
