This study found that finasteride effectively reduced hirsutism in women during 12 months of treatment, with some effects persisting in the majority after stopping the medication.

This review explores how androgens and growth hormone influence the development of terminal hairs and sebaceous glands, attributing variability in hirsutism and acne to differing genetic sensitivities to androgens, but reports no new experimental data.

Most dermatologic medications are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but some should be avoided due to potential risks.

This article reviews common hair-care practices among African American patients and discusses how these practices relate to hair and scalp disorders, without presenting new clinical research.

In this study, researchers found that disrupting the PRL gene in mice led to earlier hair molting, especially in females, suggesting that PRL inhibits murine hair cycle events.

This review discusses the potential role of steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors in treating neuropsychiatric disorders related to dopaminergic hyperreactivity but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that S100A4 and S100A6 proteins may play key roles in activating stem cells for hair follicle regeneration in mice.

In this study, distinct metabolic profiles were identified in women with PCOS, suggesting potential biomarkers for diagnosis based on changes in lipid and androgen metabolism.

This review discusses various prostate cancer prevention strategies and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for ongoing research in this area.

This review discusses current knowledge on the biological mechanisms of different types of alopecia but reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight future research directions, especially regarding epidermal stem cells and immune pathways.

In this study, women with idiopathic hirsutism who took finasteride for 9 months experienced a significant reduction in hirsutism scores compared to those receiving a placebo, with minimal side effects.

This review highlights the unique scarless wound healing abilities of fetuses and discusses potential applications to adult wound healing, reporting no new experimental findings.

This review examines the role of nuclear hormone receptors in skin wound repair processes and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the importance of their interaction with skin cells for effective healing.

This review summarizes existing knowledge on androgen receptor activity in breast cancer and reports no new clinical findings, with emphasis on therapies targeting androgen signaling in specific BC subtypes.

In this study, hirsutism in women with PCOS was strongly associated with hyperandrogenism and metabolic abnormalities, while acne and androgenic alopecia were not effective markers for hyperandrogenism.

This study found that overexpression of the mineralocorticoid receptor in a mouse model led to premature epidermal barrier development, keratinocyte apoptosis, and postnatal alopecia, indicating new roles for MR signaling in skin physiology.

This article reviews historical and recent developments related to toxic shock syndrome (TSS), emphasizing the increase in cases among young women using tampons, and calls for new research tools but does not report new results.

This review highlights the increasing clinical applications of high-frequency ultrasonography in dermatology, particularly for assessing the depth of skin tumors and monitoring inflammatory skin diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This review provides an overview of the prevalence and management of side effects of mood-stabilizing drugs in bipolar disorder patients and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, oral zinc supplementation for twelve weeks increased serum zinc levels in alopecia areata patients with low zinc, showing positive hair regrowth in 66.7% of participants, though this was not statistically significant.

This study found that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) inhibited hair shaft elongation and induced premature catagen development in cultured human hair follicles, partially through transforming growth factor β2.

This study found that Diane 35 combined with finasteride led to a greater reduction in hirsutism scores over 12 months compared to Diane 35 alone.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had higher levels of Th17 cells and lower levels of regulatory T cells compared to healthy controls, suggesting an immune imbalance in these patients.

This study suggests that CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes play a crucial role in the development of alopecia areata, based on observations in rodent models that mimic human autoimmune disease.

This review discusses the dermatological adverse events from immunosuppressive and anti-TNF therapy in IBD, finding increased risks of non-melanoma skin cancer and other skin conditions, and recommends regular cancer screening.

This review discusses the complex causes and treatment challenges of chronic inflammatory skin diseases, emphasizing the need for biomarkers to predict treatment responses; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, a silk-inspired hydrogel system was developed that combines photodynamic therapy and wound healing, which may significantly reduce melanoma recurrence and enhance healing of infected wounds.

This study found a strong dose-related increase in the risk of intracranial meningiomas associated with high doses of cyproterone acetate, with some reduction in risk after stopping the treatment.

This study found that AR/VDR-targeted agonist hormone therapy can inhibit cell viability in HR2-av triple-negative breast cancer cell lines through multiple mechanisms and may enhance the effects of chemotherapy.

This study reports that C3H/HeJ mice and DEBR rats serve as effective models for screening potential treatments for human alopecia areata, despite certain challenges in predictability and cost.
