This review discusses the dermatologic care of transgender individuals and highlights the need for more quantitative research to improve clinical understanding and support future studies.

This study found that mechlorethamine restored hair growth in mice with alopecia-areata-like disease by eliminating infiltrated lymphocytes and inhibiting certain pro-inflammatory cytokines in treated skin areas.

In this study, male-pattern baldness was strongly associated with a higher risk of keratinocyte cancers, particularly squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, likely due to increased sun exposure on the scalp rather than androgen levels.

This study identified a new gene, mrp4, in mice, which suggests it may have a unique role in the growth and development of hair follicles in the ears and tails.

In this study, Far2-/- mice were observed to develop focal alopecia with altered sebaceous gland morphology and lower skin lipid levels compared to wildtype mice.

This review discusses the use of laser and intense light sources for hair removal and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the potential for aesthetic medicine to include these technologies.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that treating platelet rich plasma with microsecond pulsed electric fields effectively activates platelets and induces similar or higher growth factor release compared to traditional bovine thrombin, suggesting a potential clinical use that may be more cost-effective and practical.

This study found that finasteride reduced prostate cancer incidence by 30%, with no significant difference in Gleason scores compared to placebo after re-evaluation of pathology and extended follow-up.

This study concluded that the GIANT brain atlas, which integrates genetic and neuroanatomical variations, provides a more accurate representation of brain structure than traditional neuroanatomical atlases, allowing for better exploration of genetic influences on the brain.

In this study, researchers found that in the UK, laser treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa had the highest participant eligibility and preference compared to other interventions, highlighting its potential priority in future trials.

This study found that topical patidegib gel significantly shrank basal cell carcinomas in Gorlin syndrome patients without causing the systemic side effects common with oral hedgehog inhibitors.

This review found that 5α‐reductase inhibitors were associated with slightly increased rates of decreased libido, erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction, gynecomastia, and mood disorders compared to placebo, though their long-term effects remain unclear.

In this study, FOL-026, a peptide based on osteopontin, was shown to promote angiogenesis and stimulate vascular cell proliferation and migration through neuropilin-1, similar to VEGF, suggesting potential therapeutic applications in vascular repair and angiogenesis-related conditions.

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 study suggests that a position effect disrupting TRPS1 expression may be linked to hypertrichosis in both Ambras syndrome in humans and a similar phenotype in Koa mice.

This study found that 3D cultured hair follicle-like constructs, which include keratinocytes and dermal papilla cells, showed improved gene expression and cell interactions relevant to hair follicle development.

This study found that deleting Snai2 and Snai3 genes in mice disrupts immune cell development, resulting in severe autoimmunity and early death due to the loss of immune tolerance.

This article reviews the role of the National Alopecia Areata Foundation in promoting research and collaboration to find treatments or a cure for alopecia areata and reports no clinical results.

In this study, researchers observed that African spiny mice, Acomys cahirinus, are capable of regenerating skeletal muscle in dermal wound sites, unlike common mice, Mus musculus.

In this study, higher scores of HOMA-IR and FIRI suggested that male patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia may have insulin resistance, although no significant differences in metabolic syndrome were found compared to controls.

In this study, an ethanol extract of Crinum asiaticum was observed to significantly increase hair-fiber lengths and promote hair growth in rat vibrissa follicles and C57BL/6 mice.

This study found that finasteride-loaded liposomal formulations achieved significantly higher skin permeation and deposition compared to conventional gels and solutions, suggesting potential for effective topical application.

This study of Black and Hispanic inner-city teens found that Norplant retention rates were 71% at one year and 62% at two years, with a history of induced abortion predicting higher continuation.

This study found that direct interactions between human dermal papilla cells and melanocytes under low oxygen conditions improved cell functions and could be important for hair regeneration efforts.

In this noninferiority study, researchers found that a 0.2% caffeine-based topical liquid was not less effective than 5% minoxidil solution in improving hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia over six months.

This study found that structural defects in the hair shafts of sighthounds with bald thigh syndrome are related to a downregulation of genes and proteins essential for hair shaft formation.

This guideline review discusses updated evidence-based recommendations for managing tinea capitis, with a focus on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and prevention strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

Lower adrenal hormone levels may cause hair loss in postmenopausal women, certain patterns help diagnose nail cancer, and a gene variant linked to higher skin cancer risk in kidney transplant patients suggests monitoring folate levels.

This study found that late adolescent and young women with clinical hyperandrogenism, including PCOS, experienced higher psychological distress and impaired well-being compared to their healthy peers.

In a study on nude mice, topical application of Chrysanthemum zawadskii extracts stimulated hair growth and increased hair follicle numbers, suggesting potential for alopecia therapy.
