This study concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitors were linked to increased sexual dysfunction in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, but not in men with androgenetic alopecia.

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

This study found that daily use of 1% pyrithione zinc shampoo modestly improved hair growth over 26 weeks, although these effects were less than those of 5% minoxidil.

This review concludes that autologous split-thickness skin grafting remains the gold standard for safety and efficacy in treating chronic leg ulcers, with greater success in venous ulcers.

This study found that H-Ras activation in aged mouse skin leads to increased dysplasia and progression to in situ squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting an age-linked connection between immune changes, senescence, and cancer risk.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenic alopecia have a higher risk of needing coronary revascularization before age 60 compared to those with later onset or no hair loss.

In this review, the researchers detailed how the p63 transcription factor influences epithelial stem cell activities such as self-renewal, differentiation, and proliferation, highlighting the role of TAp63 and ΔNp63 isoforms in both normal tissue development and cancer pathogenesis.

This study found low- to very low-quality evidence suggesting that several pharmacological treatments, including alpha blockers and antibiotics, may reduce prostatitis symptoms without significantly increasing adverse events in the short term, although more rigorous trials are needed.

This study defined menstrual phase-specific reference intervals for circulating androgen levels in young women, highlighting that anovulatory females showed higher androgen, LH, and FSH levels compared to ovulatory females.

This study suggests that melatonin may have a radioprotective role against X-ray-induced skin damage in rats, as evidenced by milder injury markers in pretreated animals.

This study suggests that activating retinoic acid signalling can inhibit Wnt signalling and induce regression in certain skin tumors, providing potential therapeutic strategies for tumor regression.

This study suggests that the HDAC9 gene is a third susceptibility gene for male-pattern baldness, with significant associations found in both German and Australian samples.

Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.

This study observed that finasteride use among men with benign prostatic hyperplasia was associated with a decreased incidence of low-grade prostate cancer but not high-grade tumors.

This study found that age, pre-pregnancy BMI, and family history of diabetes were independent predictors of gestational diabetes in Iranian women, with selective screening missing few cases among low-risk groups.

This review explores the diverse roles and heterogeneity of fibroblasts across different organs, highlighting their potential involvement in both normal tissue functioning and fibrotic diseases, but reports no new experimental results.

In this study, 50 mg/day of DHEA supplementation in postmenopausal women did not significantly improve sexual function compared to a placebo over 26 weeks.

This review explores how sex differences influence the pathophysiology, incidence, and treatment outcomes of ischaemic heart disease, and emphasizes the need for more sex-specific research.

This study found that hair follicle and interfollicular epidermis stem cells contribute differently to skin regeneration, with their persistence influenced by factors like spatial constraints and competition moderated by Notch suppression.

This study suggests that variations in PCOS phenotypes observed across different ethnic groups may be due to a genetic gradient resulting from historical human migrations and genetic drift.

This study found that a dietary supplement containing L-cystine, medicinal yeast, and pantothenic acid significantly improved hair growth in women with telogen effluvium over six months compared to placebo.

This study found that taking a daily oral dose of 50mg DHEA for one year had no significant impact on blood lipids, insulin sensitivity, or the endometrium in postmenopausal women with low libido.

This review discusses the association between androgen receptor gene polymorphism and PCOS, reporting mixed findings on whether shorter or longer CAG repeats are linked to the disorder; it provides no new results and calls for further studies.

This review summarizes the genetic studies on female pattern hair loss, highlighting the lack of clearly identified susceptibility loci and suggesting distinct aetiological differences from male pattern hair loss.

This study suggests that women with polycystic ovary syndrome may have a distinct metabolomic profile, differing in levels of amino acids, organic acids, and lipids compared to controls.

This review discusses the embryonic origins and characteristics of various stem cell populations in the skin, but it provides no new experimental results.

This review explores the role of Eph receptors and ephrins in skin cell processes, discussing their potential for therapeutic targeting in dermatological disorders, but it presents no new research findings.

This review summarizes the current understanding of microRNAs in skin biology, highlighting their roles in processes like wound-healing and aging, without presenting any new experimental results.

This study found an association between a splice site variant in the KRT71 gene and curly hair in Selkirk Rex cats, identifying a significant locus on chromosome B4.

This review discusses the role of the mineralocorticoid receptor in skin biology, highlighting its potential involvement in keratinocyte and hair physiology, and proposes it may affect the side effects of glucocorticoid use.
