This review discusses the potential of organoids in modeling COVID-19 disease and developing therapies, without reporting new results, and highlights opportunities and challenges in their application for research.

This paper reviews the use of tacrolimus for various conditions, noting its effectiveness in treating certain skin disorders but highlighting that some findings remain anecdotal due to limited case numbers.

This study found that in mouse skin, the activation of stem/progenitor cells is synchronized across different niches during growth, with the glutamate transporter SLC1A3 playing a crucial role in this process.

This article reviews the skin effects of anabolic-androgenic steroid use in athletes but reports no clinical results.

This study concluded that finasteride may safely reduce prostate size and improve urinary symptoms for at least six years in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, though further improvements beyond six months are unlikely.

This study presents case reports of four patients with alopecia areata or alopecia universalis, highlighting varied responses to treatments like prednisone, intralesional triamcinolone, and squaric acid dibutyl ester.

This article reviews the causes and cultural aspects of traction alopecia in black women and presents a treatment not previously reported, but it offers no new clinical findings.

This study found that pharmacological inhibition of sex steroid synthesis impacts pathogenic processes in traumatic brain injury in a sex-specific manner, with distinct effects of letrozole and finasteride on molecular and neurological outcomes.

This review discusses the use of topical minoxidil for various types of alopecia and reports mixed evidence on its efficacy, with stronger support noted for conditions like eyebrow hypotrichosis and chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This retrospective study found that a hairline-lowering technique effectively advanced the female hairline by an average of 2.1 cm with high patient satisfaction and minimal complications over 20 years.

This article reviews expert opinions on combining pharmacologic treatments like minoxidil with hair transplantation, reporting improved hair density and regrowth in patients with partially functioning follicles.

This review discusses the potential link between direct oral anticoagulants and hair loss, suggesting DOACs may not be a suitable alternative for patients with alopecia from traditional anticoagulants; however, no clinical results are reported.

This study reviewed Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome and found it consistently associated with hypogonadism, decreased IGF1, and frontotemporal alopecia, with additional symptoms like intellectual disabilities and diabetes in some patients.

This study developed a mouse model for radiation cystitis that mimics human pathology and found that radiation exposure leads to increased urinary frequency and long-term weakening of urothelial integrity.

In this study on a murine model, researchers observed that a 5% minoxidil solution reduced stress-induced changes in hair growth, suggesting its potential for managing stress-related hair loss in humans.

Finasteride can cause one-sided breast enlargement, which disappears after stopping the drug.

This study concluded that men with benign prostatic hyperplasia receiving steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors, such as dutasteride or finasteride, have a higher risk of developing new onset type 2 diabetes compared to those taking tamsulosin.

This study found that Merkel cell clusters require Frizzled6 signaling for their polarity information, while other hair follicle-associated structures align their orientation based on the hair follicle itself.

This review of teriflunomide for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis examines its clinical and safety outcomes, finding it significantly reduces relapse rates and disability progression while being generally well-tolerated.

This review discusses the demographic, dermatologic, clinical, and psychodynamic aspects of trichotillomania, exploring its potential link to anxiety but reports no new clinical findings.

The antiandrogen 11α-hydroxyprogesterone effectively reduces skin oil and cholesterol when applied to the skin.

This study observed that Endoglin is crucial for maintaining correct hair follicle cycling and stimulating hair follicle stem cell niches through feedback interactions involving Wnt/β-catenin and Bmp/Smad signaling pathways in a mouse model.

This study found that bio-based waterborne polyurethanes derived from castor oil may offer effective hair-styling performance without skin irritation and appear to be safer for the environment compared to traditional hair sprays.

This case report documents a 61-year-old woman treated with erlotinib who experienced the rare side effect of cicatricial alopecia.

This study found that among Japanese women with diffuse hair loss, decreased hair density without changes in vellus hair was the most common and distinct pattern observed, highlighting differences from previous observations in other populations.

This pilot study found that a multimodal minoxidil microemulsion with diclofenac and tea tree oil was more effective and safer than minoxidil alone for treating androgenic alopecia over 32 weeks.

This study describes a distinct pattern of trichoscopic features associated with chemotherapy-induced alopecia and how these features evolve through different phases of chemotherapy treatment.

This study identified two distinct histological patterns in permanent alopecia following bone marrow transplantation, suggesting links to myeloablative chemotherapy and chronic graft-versus-host disease.

In this study, researchers found that the EDMTFH protein is present in specific layers of the chicken embryo skin and feathers, suggesting its role in feather mechanics and development.

Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.
