This study assessed Palestinian women newly diagnosed with breast cancer and found that higher spiritual well-being is associated with improved body image and sexual functioning, and reduced distress from treatment side effects, suggesting spiritual support should be integrated into cancer care.

This study identified four ferroptosis-related genes, SLC40A1, LCN2, CREB5, and SLC7A11, as potential diagnostic markers for alopecia areata, revealing reduced expression in affected patients compared to controls, with a predictive model showing high accuracy in differentiating the condition.

This study identified new geometric and mechanical parameters for curly and kinky/coily hair, which may inform more effective personal care products tailored to these hair types.

This study used quantitative methods to identify new geometric and mechanical parameters of curly and kinky/coily hair, aiming to improve classification and develop better personal care products for these hair types.

This study investigated the possible role of neutrophil extracellular traps in contributing to fibrosis in stenotic Crohn's disease.

This article provides issue information and does not include an abstract or any new research findings.

This review discusses the biochemical properties and clinical significance of 5 alpha-reductase isozymes and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the use of antiandrogens like flutamide and its derivatives in prostate cancer treatment and highlights the need for next-generation antiandrogens for improved efficacy; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found no SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the semen and urine of a COVID-19 patient, suggesting possible viral clearance or absence in these fluids.

This study found that oral isotretinoin achieved good to excellent clinical results in treating severe inflammatory acne, severe rosacea, and gram-negative folliculitis.

This study found that Cutl1 mutant mice experienced retarded lung differentiation and abnormal hair follicle morphogenesis, indicating the vital role of CDP in lung development and hair follicle cell-lineage specification.

This study found that stimulating the olfactory receptor OR2AT4 in human hair follicles with a synthetic sandalwood odorant promotes hair growth ex vivo by decreasing apoptosis and increasing IGF-1 production.

New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.

This study found that the binding of finasteride to the enzyme 5a-reductase occurs at a slower rate than previously assumed, complicating the estimation of its real inhibitory constant.

This article reviews the use of finasteride for treating male pattern hair loss, highlighting its mechanism of action in reducing DHT and noting its safety profile with some common adverse effects.

This article reviews the medicinal properties of Semecarpus anacardium and its biologically active compounds, but it reports no new clinical results.

Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.

This article discusses the role of dihydrotestosterone in human prostatic adenocarcinoma growth and suggests that 6-methyleneprogesterone could be used to inhibit DHT for treating hormone-responsive prostate cancer, without new clinical findings.

This study observed that in hormone-starved prostate cancer cells, the androgen 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone rapidly induces matriptase activation and shedding, which involves androgen receptor signaling and requires both transcription and protein synthesis.

This review explores the impact of various medications on male fertility, highlighting reversible negative effects from methotrexate, finasteride, and ketoconazole, while reporting no adverse fertility effects for oral retinoids and certain immunosuppressants.

This review discusses the association between androgen receptor CAG repeat polymorphism and several health conditions, including Kennedy’s disease and urologic disorders, without reporting new clinical results.

This review discusses the use of antimüllerian hormone as a marker of ovarian reserve in infertility diagnosis and treatment, noting it reflects oocyte quantity but not health or pregnancy likelihood.

This study reported that certain newly synthesized steroidal derivatives showed stronger inhibitory activity against the 5α-reductase enzyme than finasteride in hamsters, suggesting their potential as enzyme inhibitors.

This study found that PNU 157706 is a highly potent inhibitor of human 5α-reductase enzymes, showing a stronger and longer-lasting antiprostatic effect in rats compared to finasteride.

This review discusses the role of reactive oxygen species in regulating oscillating apoplastic pH gradients and growth in plant root hairs and pollen tubes, reporting no new experimental results.

This study found that topical finasteride and flutamide both significantly reduced sebaceous gland growth and decreased prostatic weights in hamsters, indicating systemic effects despite local application.

This study found that inadequate maternal pyridoxine during pregnancy led to lower body weight, slow physical development, and impaired neuromotor development in rat pups, with the severity increasing as pyridoxine levels decreased.

This review examines medical literature on postfinasteride syndrome and reports no new results; the authors call for more controlled studies on permanent sexual dysfunction and mood changes linked to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors.

This study found that male liver cirrhosis patients have higher estradiol levels and lower dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, leading to hormonal imbalances favoring estradiol, but without changing sex hormone-binding globulin's binding properties.

In this study, finasteride treatment did not negatively impact bone development or density in male rats, suggesting that DHT deficiency is not harmful to the male rat skeleton.
