This source reports that a study by Liu et al. analyzed genetic factors influencing adalimumab response in hidradenitis suppurativa, finding a specific genetic variant (SNP rs59532114) associated with an inadequate response to the treatment due to increased abscess and inflammatory nodule counts.

In this study, the incidence of androgenic alopecia among transgender patients increased after starting masculinizing hormone therapy, with the highest incidence observed in the fourth year of treatment.

This case report describes successful treatment of trichomycosis axillaris, a bacterial infection of hair shafts, using shaving and topical antibiotics, resulting in complete odor elimination within weeks.

This study found that thymosin beta-4 overexpression in mice increased hair growth speed and density, likely by regulating P38/ERK/AKT signaling through VEGF expression.

In this case report, a 71-year-old woman with severe hyperandrogenism and virilization revealed a bilateral ovarian steroid cell tumor, confirmed after adnexectomy, resulting in normalized testosterone levels and improved hirsutism post-surgery.

This case report detailed a 38-year-old woman with thallium intoxication, who initially presented with polyneuropathy and alopecia. The diagnosis was confirmed by toxicology, and treatment with potassium hexacyanoferrate led to full recovery, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in toxic polyneuropathies.

This study observes that TYK2 inhibition with BMS-986202 may extend hair follicle growth phases and decrease inflammatory cell markers in alopecia areata, suggesting potential for clinical application.

This case report describes a 57-year-old woman's virilizing adrenal tumor effectively treated with the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate, which led to symptom reversal and tumor resolution.

This case report describes a novel integrative treatment approach leading to symptom improvement and significant reduction of thyroid antibodies in a young woman with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

This case report describes a rare instance of functioning adrenocortical oncocytoma in a 14-year-old girl with virilization and reviews related literature.

The 2-step surgery effectively treats stable follicular vitiligo with high patient satisfaction and no major complications.

This case report highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a rare cause of increased testosterone and postmenopausal hirsutism, resolved after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 64-year-old woman.

This study suggests that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may reduce invasive cancer features and improve survival in men undergoing radical cystectomy for high-grade urothelial carcinoma, although further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Among transgender men, this study reported a case of breast cancer found incidentally after a gender-affirming mastectomy, despite common lower breast cancer risks in this population, highlighting the importance of cancer screening and careful consideration of hormone therapy management in transgender and gender-diverse individuals.

This study found that prophylactically administering amotosalen-treated allogeneic donor T cells at transplantation significantly improved immune reconstitution and protection against murine cytomegalovirus infection without inducing graft-versus-host disease.

Enhancing Tregs can protect against alopecia areata.

This study suggests that thymosin beta 4 may regulate hair growth by influencing VEGF and MMP-2 levels through the Wnt/β-catenin/Lef-1 signaling pathway in mouse models.

This case report describes a 10-month-old boy with VACTERL association and athymia who developed Omenn syndrome, highlighting the complex overlap of these conditions and the challenging clinical course due to profound T-cell immunodeficiency.

In this case report, a 68-year-old woman with a Leydig cell tumor of the ovary experienced virilization, and surgical removal led to normalization of testosterone levels and regression of symptoms.

This study found that METTL1 is upregulated in papillary thyroid cancer tissues and promotes cancer cell proliferation and metastasis through its tRNA methyltransferase activity.

This case report details a 26-year-old woman with diffuse hair loss following treatment for thyroid cancer, subsequent thyroidectomy, and development of hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism managed with thyroxin.

In this study, stable types of leucoderma such as segmental vitiligo and piebaldism showed 100% repigmentation after melanocyte transplantation, suggesting surgery as the preferred method for these conditions.
