This study developed and validated a highly sensitive LC-MS/MS method for detecting multiple steroid hormones in urine and serum/plasma, demonstrating its potential for use in large-scale biomonitoring studies.

In this study, researchers found that serum granulysin levels might serve as a novel marker for disease activity in acute alopecia areata, being significantly associated with broader bald skin areas, poorer prognosis, and co-existing allergic disorders.

In this study, COC treatment led to greater improvements in sex hormone, endocrine factor, and metabolic levels among PCOS patients compared to those who did not receive the treatment.

This study found that monitoring endogenous steroid metabolites in serum may improve the detection of testosterone doping by highlighting promising biomarkers.

This article discusses the withdrawal of bamlanivimab monotherapy's emergency use authorization in the U.S. due to evolving COVID-19 variants and offers no new clinical data.

This study found that in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis, higher serum dihydrotestosterone levels were associated with increased myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and reduced left ventricular function.

In this study, ritlecitinib treatment for 12 and 24 weeks downregulated immunity-related genes and upregulated hair keratin genes in patients with alopecia areata, correlating with scalp hair regrowth response.

In a laboratory study on guinea pigs, Kepok banana peel extract serum at a 30% concentration showed promising effectiveness for hair growth, with results close to those of 5% minoxidil®, suggesting it could be a viable hair care alternative.

This study found a significant association between lower serum ferritin levels and chronic diffuse hair loss in women of reproductive age, particularly in cases of alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that rash in SLE patients is prevalent and associated with more severe disease indicators, including certain clinical manifestations and serological abnormalities.

This study reported no significant difference in serum ferritin levels between female patients with telogen effluvium and those without hair loss.

This study concluded that their modified immunohistochemical staining protocol can determine the ABO blood group of both medullated and non-medullated scalp hair, potentially aiding in hair sample screening before DNA analysis.

Men with androgenetic alopecia have unique metabolomic patterns that could help develop targeted treatments.

The T-zone on the face has more androgen receptors and produces more oil than the U-zone.

This study found that mice deficient in ceramide synthase 4 showed altered sebum composition and progressive hair loss due to obstructed hair canals.

In this study, researchers evaluated male-pattern hair loss treatments using RNA and microRNA expression profiling in 91 male participants, identifying 52 differentially expressed genes and suggesting a potential role for personalized treatment based on genetic analysis to monitor and predict treatment efficacy and compliance.

This study found that the SVpgC2a keratinocyte cell line, used as a model for dysplastic epithelium, showed increased apoptosis, proliferation, and aberrant keratin expression compared to normal keratinocytes from buccal mucosa.

This meta-analysis found that in postmenopausal women with a history of breast cancer, 8 weeks of vaginal estrogen therapy while on aromatase inhibitors did not result in systemic absorption of sex hormones, suggesting potential safety for treating vulvovaginal atrophy in this context.

This study found that lower serum BDNF levels were associated with higher depression severity and more severe alopecia areata in patients.

In this study, both radiofrequency microneedling and ultrasound treatments with a plant-based secretory factor hair serum enhanced hair and scalp health in subjects with androgenetic alopecia, with ultrasound showing more pronounced improvements in hair appearance, density, and color.

This study conducted a scoping review and meta-analysis revealing a complex chemokine profile in alopecia areata patients, with elevated Th1, Th2, and other immune pathway chemokines, suggesting broader immunomodulatory strategies may help address the disease's multifaceted immune dysregulation.

In this scoping review and meta-analysis, researchers found that patients with alopecia areata exhibit complex chemokine profiles, with elevated levels of Th1, Th2, and other immune pathway-associated chemokines, suggesting the potential for broad immunomodulatory strategies to address the disease's immune dysregulation.

This study found that among various treatments for male androgenetic alopecia, dutasteride 0.5 mg/day was the most effective option overall. Additionally, among FDA-approved treatments, topical minoxidil 5% was the most effective topical therapy, and finasteride 1 mg/day was the most effective oral therapy.

This study explored the potential of Tridax procumbens, a medicinal plant, for hair growth applications by analyzing its bioactive compounds through in silico and phytopharmacological evaluations, resulting in a novel hair serum formulation that demonstrated promising hair growth-promoting properties in preliminary tests.

In this study, buffalo calves fed only corn silage showed deficiencies in copper, zinc, selenium, and vitamin A, along with improved physiological conditions after dietary supplementation and treatment.

This study reported the hematology and serum protein characteristics of chinchillas, including elevated transferrin to albumin concentration ratios during March and April, possibly linked to pregnancy or hair growth.

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, methotrexate and leflunomide were compared for treating rheumatoid arthritis, showing similar efficacy overall. Methotrexate reduced swollen joints more effectively, while leflunomide was associated with fewer gastrointestinal side effects but more frequent liver enzyme increases.

This study suggests that hair analysis detecting trace elements like copper and iron may help in screening for diseases such as hepatocellular carcinoma and osteoporosis, due to altered element concentrations in patients.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had increased levels of serum immunoglobulin E and interleukin-13 compared to healthy controls, with additional variation in levels observed across age and weight.

This study reported that an herbal hair serum developed for general hair treatment met all assessment criteria, suggesting potential as a safer alternative to synthetic hair products.
