This paper suggests that to better protect traditional and indigenous knowledge, TKDL should expand its database or establish a separate confidential resource for indigenous, tribal, and nomadic communities.

This study explores the neurobiology and genetics of barbering (hair and whisker biting) in laboratory rodents, and its potential links to stress, aggression, grooming, and stereotypic behaviors, highlighting its significance in experimental work with these animals.

This review discusses the role of neurosteroids and androgens throughout different life stages, noting the potential disruptions caused by 5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride, but no new clinical results are reported.

This study estimates that young adults have about 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervating their skin, with density varying by region and decreasing with age.

In this study, finasteride reduced the severity of dopaminergic behavior manifestations in rats without causing extrapyramidal side effects, unlike other antidopaminergic agents.

This review discusses the complex effects of testosterone on the brain, emphasizing sex differences, and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the inconsistencies in current study findings.

This study found that VDR knockout mice exhibited muscle and motor impairments affecting locomotor behavior, while cognitive functions such as exploration, working memory, and anxiety appeared unaffected.

5α-reductase inhibitors may cause persistent sexual dysfunction and depression, needing more research on long-term effects.

This research observed that 5α-reductase inhibitors showed significant tic-suppressing effects in Tourette's syndrome, suggesting a key role for this enzyme in the disorder's pathogenesis.

This study found that neonatal administration of allopregnanolone enhances, while finasteride suppresses, the effects of adult intrahippocampal pregnenolone sulphate on rat locomotor activity in an open field test.

This study found that exposure to certain elements during pregnancy, measured in maternal hair, was associated with increased risk of gestational diabetes and potential impacts on infant neurodevelopment, with elements like Ta, Re, and Se posing the highest risk for gestational diabetes.

This study suggests that prenatal exposure to THC may negatively impact ovarian health in rats by altering miRNA expression, potentially leading to reproductive issues such as subfertility or premature reproductive senescence.

In this study, researchers observed that acute stress increased levels of the enzyme 5αR2 in the medial prefrontal cortex of male rats, affecting stress reactivity, but this effect was not seen in females.

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.

The authors concluded that finasteride and dutasteride might have serious side effects, including persistent sexual dysfunction for some, necessitating further research and vigilant risk-benefit analysis.

In this study, pregnenolone was found to dose-dependently reduce L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias in a rat model of Parkinson's disease, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for these dyskinesias.

This pharmacovigilance study analyzed FAERS data and found that finasteride is more frequently associated with neuropsychiatric reactions like depression and suicide risk, especially in younger men using it for alopecia, compared to dutasteride.

This study found that, although finasteride reduced dihydrotestosterone levels in males with heavy episodic drinking, it did not significantly alter brain activation or craving but was linked to a stronger desire not to drink.

In this systematic review, animal studies showed that cytarabine causes multi-organ toxicities, notably neurotoxicity, linked to oxidative stress and other mechanisms, though study quality raises concerns about reliability and translation to human outcomes.

This study observed that bovine milk-derived exosomes can alleviate intestinal inflammation, improve cognitive function, support nervous system regeneration, promote bone health, and benefit skin health, although further research is needed to fully understand their mechanisms and potential clinical applications.

In this review, the researchers reported that 5α-reductase inhibitors demonstrated neuroprotective effects and reduced dyskinesias in animal models of Parkinson's disease, suggesting their potential for repurposing to manage symptoms in men with PD.

In this review, researchers examined advanced sensing technologies and bioelectronic interfaces that could improve understanding of the skin–brain axis, highlighting challenges and strategies for integrating these platforms into models for studying skin and neural interactions.

This review discusses the evolution of surgical robotics and examines the potential and current limitations of autonomous and intelligent systems in robotic-assisted surgeries.

In this review, the researchers highlighted the prevalent symptoms in cirrhosis patients, including pain, muscle cramps, sleep disturbances, and mental health issues, and emphasized the need for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach for symptom management to improve quality of life.

This study found that collagen VI is crucial for peripheral nerve function and regeneration, and its absence promotes abnormal hair regrowth after skin wounding in mice, revealing potential therapeutic targets for nerve injuries and hair loss.

This study identified a new clinical variant of adult adrenomyeloneuropathy characterized by hypoplasia and agenesis of the corpus callosum, associated with a novel ABCD1 gene mutation.

The research investigated the effects of antiandrogens on neurodevelopmental milestones in rats exposed to valproic acid during pregnancy, finding that while valproic acid delayed sensorimotor reflexes, it didn't impact physical development milestones, and antiandrogens partially mitigated these delays.

This case report describes the first instance of ANCA positive vasculitis secondary to Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary disease, highlighting the complex interplay of immune dysfunction and treatment challenges.

This review discusses the potential of curcumin and its formulations to mitigate neuropathic and postoperative pain, highlighting positive outcomes in preclinical and clinical studies but noting the need for further clinical research.

In this study, patients with seasonal affective disorder were found to have increased functional connectivity in certain brain networks and higher low-frequency fluctuations compared to healthy controls, which aligns with their attentional and psychomotor symptoms.
