Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss with no cure and treatments that often don't work well.

This review discusses the neurobiology of sexual function and reports no new results; the authors cover multiple endocrine and neurotransmitter influences on sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm stages.

This article reviews the clinical presentation and histopathologic features of alopecia areata and proposes a hypothesis for its development, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the prevalence of PCOS in a population of unselected U.S. women was 4.0%, with no significant racial differences between White and Black women.

This article discusses the treatment of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata with finasteride and minoxidil but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system's potential role in skin function and resilience against environmental and internal stresses, but does not report new experimental findings.

This article reviews the multifunctional roles of calreticulin outside the ER and highlights its impact on wound healing in animal models, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the roles of androgens and estrogens in skin functions and disorders, and highlights the use of estrogen-progestin treatments and anti-androgens in managing hirsutism and acne, without reporting new results.

This review discusses guidelines for androgen use in women and concludes that more research is needed before recommending testosterone due to insufficient evidence on safety and efficacy.

This article discusses evaluation and treatment options for a 19-year-old woman with slowly progressive hair growth and reports no new clinical findings.

This study concluded that albumin-bound testosterone is biologically important and significantly contributes to testosterone bioavailability in women receiving spironolactone.

This review discusses the preclinical and clinical data on teriflunomide for multiple sclerosis, highlighting its selective action on immune cells without causing clinical immune suppression, and provides no new clinical results.

This review explores androgen metabolism in the skin, highlighting enzyme localization and potential implications for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review summarizes the roles of Wnt signaling in wound healing but presents no new clinical findings, suggesting potential for Wnt-based therapies to enhance tissue regeneration.

This study found that dermal papilla cells from balding scalp hair follicles have significantly higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding follicles, supporting their in vivo androgen response.

Among reproductive-aged women in Iran, this study found that the prevalence of PCOS varied significantly depending on the diagnostic criteria used, with estimates ranging from 7.1% to 14.6%.

This article presents a comprehensive guide for classifying human hair follicle cycle stages in vivo using scalp xenografts on immunocompromised mice, offering valuable resources for researchers in the field.

This review discusses the classification and diagnosis of pregnancy-related skin conditions and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that SZ95 sebocytes and HaCaT keratinocytes exhibit distinct enzyme expressions and activities, implicating their different roles in androgen metabolism and homeostasis in vitro.

This review discusses the diagnosis and treatment of hirsutism, emphasizing that a systematic evaluation can determine its cause, while combination therapy effectively manages the condition for most patients.

This study found that psychoemotional stress disrupts hair growth in mice by terminating anagen and suggests a potential pathway for pharmacological management of stress-related hair loss in humans.

This study reviewed recent theories on alopecia areata's pathogenesis, highlighting its autoimmune nature due to immune privilege disruption in hair follicles, and noted current treatments have limited efficacy with high relapse rates, underscoring the need for further research into its mechanisms for better therapies.

This review discusses herbal therapies for dermatologic disorders, focusing on those with scientific evidence of efficacy and common interactions, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses alopecia areata as a model for studying tissue-directed autoimmune diseases and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, single fibrinogen/LDL apheresis showed a significant improvement in speech perception for patients with plasma fibrinogen concentrations over 295 mg/dL compared to standard treatment for sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

In these initial clinical studies, NAP monotherapy showed significant reductions in HBsAg levels among patients with chronic HBV, suggesting potential as part of future combination therapies.

This study identified a distinct cytokine activation signature in alopecia areata, involving TH2, TH1, IL-23, and IL-9/TH9 pathways, suggesting potential targeting strategies similar to those in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

In this study, cross-sex hormone therapy affected hair growth patterns differently, with estrogen reducing hair growth in male-to-female transsexuals and testosterone increasing it in female-to-male transsexuals; however, male typical hair diameters were not fully reached in the latter group after 12 months.

This study reported that toxic shock syndrome, originally noted in children, is now predominantly associated with menstruating women, with some experiencing recurrence and complications like vocal cord paralysis and impaired finger sensation.

This review discusses the effects of hormonal treatments on the physical and mental health of transgender individuals, reporting significant reductions in mental health issues following treatment, but calls for more research on long-term and nonbinary outcomes.
