This study found that both 2% and 3% topical minoxidil were more effective than placebo in promoting hair growth for men with male pattern baldness over 12 months.

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

This study found that Ecklonia cava enzymatic extract, particularly its component dieckol, promoted hair growth by increasing dermal papilla cell proliferation and inhibiting 5α-reductase activity in cultured vibrissa follicles and C57BL/6 mice.

In this study using rats, finasteride-induced DHT deficiency led to morphological changes in seminiferous tubules, linked with altered junctional protein expression, potentially impairing fertility.

In this study, loss of epidermal Par3 in mice disrupted the skin barrier and affected cell differentiation and stem cell maintenance, highlighting its role in epidermal homeostasis.

This study found that Ishige sinicola extract increased hair growth and cell proliferation in cultured vibrissa follicles and mice, suggesting potential benefits for treating alopecia through β-catenin activation and 5α-reductase inhibition.

This study found that hair products commonly used by Black women exhibited hormonal activity, which could impact health outcomes and contribute to health disparities.

This study found that the hair interior defect in AKR/J mice is linked to a mutation in the Soat1 gene, which disrupts SOAT1 protein expression and affects lipid metabolism critical for normal hair formation.

Bimatoprost can cause longer, thicker, darker eyelashes and eyebrows.

This study found that seven cases of cicatricial alopecia initially diagnosed as discoid lupus erythematosus were more consistent with lichen planopilaris based on histopathology.

Traditional Chinese medications can cause skin reactions, and better testing and reporting are needed to identify allergens.

Certain variations of the HDAC9 gene can increase or decrease stroke risk in the Chinese population.

This abstract provides website information and publication navigation for JAMA Dermatology, but it includes no research results or study findings.

This review discusses various targets for treating prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia and reports on recent studies of new compounds and 5α-reductase inhibitors, but provides no new experimental results.

This case report describes a patient with primary cutaneous natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, where monoclonal Epstein–Barr virus genome expansion was associated with terminal aggressive behavior after an indolent clinical course.

This article discusses a novel mutation in the FERMT1 gene identified in a Spanish family with Kindler’s syndrome but reports no new clinical results.

This meta-analysis found that male pattern baldness is associated with an increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that finasteride may reduce inappropriate sexual behaviors in geriatric patients with vascular dementia and benign prostate hyperplasia without serious side effects, though some patients required additional medications.

This review focuses on the various skin toxicities caused by chemotherapeutic and targeted tumor therapy drugs, including rashes, keratoacanthoma, and more severe conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, without presenting new clinical results.

This review highlights that the RNA modification N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) plays a crucial role in regulating wound healing and tissue remodeling, with dysregulation contributing to complications in chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers and burn injuries, through mechanisms like impaired angiogenesis and increased oxidative stress.

In this study, Chinese children with central precocious puberty receiving 6-monthly injections of triptorelin showed luteinizing hormone suppression and slowed development of sexual characteristics over 12 months, without severe adverse events, suggesting it may be an effective treatment option for this population.

This case report describes a pregnant woman diagnosed with Cushing Syndrome, likely due to an adrenal tumor, whose condition worsened during hospitalization, resulting in heart failure, sepsis, and shock.

This genome-wide association study identified several genetic markers, including specific SNPs and HLA genotypes, associated with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Taiwanese population, highlighting key pathways involved in immune response and offering insights into the genetic origins of this autoimmune condition.

This study found that supplementing soybean oil significantly increased the production of the cyclosporine A derivative [(4'-OH)MeLeu]4-CsA by 55.6%, offering potential enhancements for its clinical application.

Finasteride may decrease semen quality but not harm sperm production, and stopping the drug can improve semen quality; hyperprolactinemia can cause infertility but is treatable with medication.

This study found that finasteride does not increase the risk of high-grade prostate cancer but instead improves the prostate-specific antigen test's sensitivity to detect such cancers.

Acute leukemias with the Philadelphia chromosome may be biphenotypic, and identifying this is important for proper treatment.

This review provides an analysis of topical treatments with clinically proven efficacy for managing hyperpigmentation and concludes that the most effective approach is using combined therapies that target multiple aspects of skin pigmentation physiology.

This study identified distinct plasma miRNA profiles in alopecia areata that may aid in diagnosis and therapy, but further validation is needed to confirm these exploratory findings.

In this study, TENS of the T6 dermatome over a longer term was explored for its effects on weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and appetite-regulating hormones in obese subjects with moderate obstructive sleep apnea; however, results are not reported in the abstract.
