This meta-analysis found that dutasteride was more effective than finasteride in increasing hair count and improving photographic assessments for men with androgenetic alopecia, while both drugs had similar rates of sexual dysfunction-related adverse effects.

This study found that oral JAK inhibitors are effective and generally well-tolerated for treating alopecia areata, but high recurrence rates after stopping treatment suggest the need for continuous use.

This study suggests that true binary and ternary inclusion complexes were formed between finasteride and 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin, with or without the addition of specific polymers.

This study concluded that five-alpha-reductase inhibitors may reduce prostate cancer risk but could increase the risk of high-grade prostate cancer in men regularly screened for the disease.

This study found a bidirectional relationship between major depressive disorder and alopecia areata, with each condition significantly increasing the risk of subsequently developing the other.

This study found that platelet-derived growth factor signaling is crucial for maintaining the hair follicle dermal stem cell pool and supporting their regenerative capacity.

This study found that using a subcuticular non-absorbable suture for six months significantly reduced scar stretching and width compared to shorter-term suturing methods after tattoo removal.

This study found that mechanical stress activates a WISP-1/Hedgehog signaling axis that contributes to ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and fibrosis, identifying Hedgehog signaling as a potential therapeutic target.

This review outlines the main findings from clinical trials on teriflunomide's efficacy and safety for relapsing multiple sclerosis, noting clinical considerations and exploring its mechanisms based on various studies.

This study reported that MRI-based ovarian morphology shows significant overlap between PCOS cases and controls, highlighting the need to consider clinical and biochemical data alongside imaging findings for PCOS diagnosis.

This study found that deleting the CD98hc protein in mouse skin impairs wound healing and homeostasis, resembling aging effects, due to disrupted integrin signaling pathways.

This review examines various androgen deprivation therapy methods for advanced prostate cancer, highlighting benefits and potential cardiovascular and sexual adverse effects, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers developed a non-invasive method to distinguish exogen hair from telogen hair on the human scalp, finding that normal exogen hair levels are generally less than seven hairs per cm².

The study reported a significant genotype–phenotype correlation in prepubescent males with XLHED, particularly in the severity of skin and hair manifestations between those with different EDA mutations.

Metformin should be used for PCOS mainly in those with glucose intolerance, and has limited benefits for infertility or hirsutism.

This study reports that hypomorphic alleles of the Ass1 gene in mice resemble human CTLN1, providing a potential model for preclinical studies and indicating that standard treatments for CTLN1 can rescue phenotypes.

Minoxidil improves blood flow and vessel flexibility, potentially helping with vascular stiffness.

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 review highlights that while dexamethasone may reduce mortality in severe COVID-19, no other drugs have proven effectiveness for treatment, emphasizing the need for clinical trials of existing medications.

This review discusses the known morbidities of polycystic ovarian syndrome, highlighting its diverse impacts on women's health, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that adapalene-loaded solid lipid microparticles may enhance targeted drug delivery into sebum due to their similarity to sebum components, although both this formulation and a standard cream showed equivalent follicular penetration.

This review summarizes various treatment options for polycystic ovary syndrome, noting that while some treatments address specific symptoms, no single therapy fully resolves the condition.

This study found that intradermal administration of adipose-derived stem cell–conditioned medium significantly increased hair density and dermal thickness, suggesting potential regenerative effects on both hair follicles and the interfollicular scalp in patients with alopecia.

This study demonstrates the use of the CRISPR-Cas9 system to successfully edit the EDAR gene in Cashmere goats, resulting in goats with distinct hair follicle characteristics.

This study found that measuring reproductive hormone levels in brown bear hair may effectively support non-invasive genetic sampling, though larger samples or more sensitive techniques are needed for broader application.

This study found that the receptor kinase RHS10 negatively regulates root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana by modulating growth duration and is associated with cell wall signal mediation, involving RNA catabolism and ROS accumulation.

This study reports that microencapsulation of therapeutic cells with contrast agents enables visualization across multiple imaging modalities, potentially improving cellular immunoprotection and tracking after transplantation.

This study found that St. John's wort treatment for two weeks induced finasteride metabolism and reduced its plasma exposure in healthy men.

In this study, elevated afamin concentrations were associated with metabolic syndrome in young women, particularly those with insulin resistance, suggesting a potential predictive role for afamin in metabolic risk assessment.

Human hair follicle stem cells show signs of low oxygen levels, which may be important for hair growth and preventing baldness.
