This study highlights that juvenile SLE patients, particularly with lupus nephritis and critical conditions, may have a higher risk of thyroid dysfunction and low FT4, potentially worsening their prognosis.

Alopecia areata is complex, with genetic and immune factors, and animal models are key for future treatment research.

This study reports that three synthesized PSMA-targeted radioimaging agents demonstrated high affinity and specific localization to prostate cancer tumors in a mouse model, highlighting their potential for cancer detection and monitoring.

This study found that among men over 70, certain genetic variants associated with skin pigmentation affect serum PSA levels, with implications for how sun sensitivity and exposure may influence prostate cancer risk.

This study found that men with a cutaneous melanoma diagnosis had an increased risk of subsequently being diagnosed with prostate cancer compared to those without melanoma.

This review discusses the expression of PSA in hormonally-regulated tissues and female malignancies, emphasizing its potential as a diagnostic biomarker and role in antidoping initiatives.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher total PSA levels than controls, and the total PSA level correlates positively with testosterone and free androgen index.

Researchers found an RNA transcript that might help control a growth factor linked to tumor development.

This study developed solid lipid nanoparticles for effective delivery of shRNA-encoding plasmids, showing reduced 5α-reductase levels in DU-145 cells without significant cytotoxicity.

This study found that serum PSA levels are higher in hirsute women and can be significantly reduced by antiandrogen treatment, suggesting PSA as a marker of androgen action in females.

This study found that targeting SV40 T antigen expression to hair follicles in transgenic mice caused abnormal hair structure and hair loss, but did not lead to cell immortalization or tumor formation in follicles.

In this study, rabies virus antigens were detected in the outer root sheath of the follicle-sinus complex in the muzzle skin of rabid dogs, suggesting its usefulness as an alternative diagnostic specimen.

This study found that 5α-reductase inhibitors significantly reduced low-grade prostate cancer incidence in men but nearly doubled the incidence of high-grade prostate cancers.

This article reviews potential pathomechanisms of vitiligo, emphasizing membrane alterations involving cholesterol and cardiolipin, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review describes the types of skin lesions associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, discussing their histopathological features, serologic associations, pathogenesis, and prognostic implications.

This study in male rats found that Cernitin™ significantly relieved pain and decreased prostate weight in models of chronic prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect.

This study presents three cases where tinea capitis in children mimicked cicatricial alopecia and explores host and fungal factors that may influence the disease's presentation and treatment.

This study demonstrates that keratinocyte cell lines derived from cultured hair follicles can fully differentiate in organotypic skin models, offering a minimally invasive alternative to obtaining keratinocytes for research.

In this study, researchers observed that human sebaceous glands can regenerate in a mouse model using transplanted human skin, potentially offering a tool to study sebaceous gland biology and regeneration.

This study found that thymus transplantation in athymic mice resulted in T-cell-driven hair follicle depigmentation and loss, without multiorgan autoimmune disease, highlighting mechanisms of tissue-specific tolerance.

This review discusses the immune roles of keratinocytes in wound healing and chronic wound inflammation, emphasizing their potential impact on chronic wound pathology and highlighting areas for future research.

This review discusses the role of regulatory T cells in skin, including their impact on hair follicle regeneration, wound healing, and immune tolerance, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that the R257X mutation in the AIRE gene is prevalent among Russian patients with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, particularly in those with hypoparathyroidism and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.

This study identified somatostatin as a potential secretory factor contributing to the immune privilege of human hair follicles.

This study found that Ganoderma lucidum extracts reduced prostate enlargement and improved symptoms in testosterone-treated rats, suggesting potential benefits for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This review discusses the potential of combining low-dose IL-2 with islet antigens to enhance antigen-specific Treg function in type 1 diabetes, but reports no new clinical results.

Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.

This review discusses the challenges in identifying specific hair follicle antigens involved in initiating alopecia areata and highlights the need for further research to understand its etiopathogenesis, reporting no new results.

This case report suggests that spironolactone may induce prostate cancer proliferation in patients on abiraterone acetate, advising against its use for managing treatment-associated side effects in these individuals.
