This study found that men with rapidly progressive male pattern baldness had elevated serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels, suggesting that adrenal hyperactivity may contribute to alopecia in genetically susceptible young men.

This study found that serum and hair mineral concentrations, including copper and zinc, showed no differences between Alzheimer's patients and their healthy spouses, suggesting no diagnostic utility for Alzheimer's disease.

In this study, 68% of patients treated with finasteride showed improved hair growth in male androgenetic alopecia, compared to 38% with Serenoa repens, indicating finasteride's superior efficacy.

This study found no differences in trace element concentrations between Finnish alopecia patients and the normal population, but noted significant serum copper variation among different alopecia subtypes.

This study suggests that sericin microneedles with antibacterial and directional traction functionalities may enhance infected wound healing by improving skin repair and inhibiting bacterial growth, indicating potential for clinical application.

Vitiligo is not linked to coeliac disease, but a small number of alopecia areata patients may have it, suggesting they should be tested for coeliac disease.

Lack of protein causes hair root damage, but it can be reversed by eating protein again.

In this study, hair loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was associated with zinc and iron levels, even within normal ranges, and a combined variable of zinc and iron predicted susceptibility to hair loss.

This study concluded that although RBP4 and adiponectin levels are associated with visceral fat, they do not independently contribute to the development of PCOS.

This study found that applying a novel 0.25% finasteride solution to the scalp can effectively reduce scalp DHT levels in men with androgenetic alopecia, potentially reducing systemic side-effects.

This study examined the therapeutic response to folliculitis decalvans treatments among 60 patients and found that earlier disease onset was linked to more severe cases, while a combination of rifampicin, clindamycin, tetracyclines, and intralesional steroids was most effective in controlling symptoms.

This review discusses the role of complement activation in SLE and suggests that while monitoring C3 and C4 remains important, increased levels of cell-bound complement activation products may better indicate disease activity.

This study found that human keratinocytes' sensitivity and response to vitamin D3 analogues vary based on cell density, serum availability, and calcium concentration.

This study reported that Turkish males with male pattern androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower zinc and copper levels in their hair compared to healthy controls, suggesting these imbalances may play a role in the condition's etiology.

This study found that MK-386 selectively suppressed sebum DHT levels in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting potential use for treating acne.

This study found that nexin 1 mRNA, a potent protease inhibitor, is prevalent in rat follicular papilla cells and may play a role in regulating hair follicular growth.

This study identified distinct microscopic characteristics of acne scars, including inflammatory infiltrates and insufficient collagen deposition, suggesting that treatment should consider these histopathological findings and employ combination therapy.

This study found that pediatric patients on valproic acid may experience hair loss due to reduced zinc and biotinidase levels within the first 3 months, with zinc depletion continuing to contribute by the 6th month.

In this study, isolated human hair follicles maintained prolonged growth and consistent DNA and keratin synthesis patterns in a fully defined medium for at least 9 days while preserving in vivo-like morphology.

This study found that serum metabolic profiles differ significantly between polycystic ovary syndrome patients and healthy controls, highlighting potential metabolic markers for diagnosing and prognosing PCOS.

In this study, HDAC inhibitors promoted the differentiation of rat C6 glioma cells through the production of 5α‐reduced neurosteroids, enhancing serotonin-stimulated BDNF gene expression.

This study observed that psychological factors and serum levels of zinc, folate, and vitamin B12 may contribute to the development of trichodynia.

This study found that individuals with early onset extensive androgenetic alopecia have an elevated ratio of DHT to testosterone, but no significant genetic linkage to markers on chromosomes 2 or 5 was detected.

This study found that the gene BSSP, a serine protease, is predominantly expressed in sebaceous glands and is overexpressed in nude mouse skin.

This study found that salivary testosterone concentrations correlated better with hirsutism in women compared to serum testosterone measures, suggesting it may be an effective method for assessing bioavailable testosterone.

This study found that serine 44 in the N-terminal head domain of keratin 17 is phosphorylated in response to various stimuli affecting skin keratinocyte growth, linking K17 up-regulation with growth and stress responses in skin epithelium.

This study found that lowering serum DHT levels with 5 mg finasteride daily did not significantly alter serum gonadotropin levels in healthy young men after 28 days.

This study suggests that genetic factors significantly influence adrenal androgen levels and the progression of puberty, with adrenal cortex maturation appearing independent of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

In this study, women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher lipocalin-2 levels compared to controls, suggesting it may be a useful marker for insulin resistance in this population.

This study found that while vitamin D deficiency is not the sole cause of alopecia areata, it may worsen the disease, suggesting supplementation could help in pediatric cases.
