This study suggests that finasteride may help alleviate high-fat diet-induced kidney damage in mice by reducing TMAO synthesis and regulating gut microbiota.

Men have worse COVID-19 outcomes than women due to genetic and hormonal differences.

COVID-19 can cause various skin issues, including rashes and 'COVID toes', and may worsen autoimmune diseases or affect men with baldness more severely.

This study's network meta-analysis reported that botulinum injection combined with red laser and topical minoxidil is most effective for increasing hair density in androgenetic alopecia when using low-level laser therapy.

This systematic review found that both oral and topical minoxidil have similar efficacy in improving hair density and terminal hair density among patients with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that oral minoxidil may be a viable second-line or adjunct treatment option.

This study investigated tissue healing in cats with auto skin grafts, finding that those treated with a combination of platelet-rich plasma and tilapia skin bio-dressings showed improved tissue structure, reduced collagen density, and more widespread caspase-3 expression compared to other treatments.

This study suggests that extracellular vesicles from prostate cancer cells could aid in identifying tumor heterogeneity and serve as biomarkers, while also playing a role in SARS-CoV-2 infection in nasopharyngeal mucus.

This review discusses the potential role of androgens in COVID-19's pathophysiology and their possible link to hair disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that sebaceous gland-derived cutaneous adnexal carcinomas exhibited the highest frequency of genomic alterations compared to other tumor types.

This study identified novel genetic variants related to rare skin and hair disorders, expanding the understanding of conditions like COLED, EV, and monilethrix, including a newly discovered type I keratin gene, KRT31, as a cause for monilethrix.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms and clinical applications of autologous platelet-derived products for TMJ regeneration, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers linked SARS-CoV-2 infection to telogen effluvium in some COVID-19 patients by observing the accumulation of viral proteins in hair follicle cells, which may trigger stress responses and cell death, suggesting hair follicles as a potential target in COVID-19.

This study highlights that Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII, primarily transmitted sexually among men who have sex with men, has established itself in Europe, necessitating awareness and surveillance to prevent its spread.

This study on Dorper sheep identified important genetic factors influencing hair follicle development, finding that expression patterns and genes like DBI, FZD3, and ZDHHC21 play a crucial role in wool shedding, which could help improve understanding of mammalian skin-related traits and human hair advancement.

This review discusses recent research on how sex hormones influence COVID-19 progression by affecting viral receptors, immune responses, and disease complications, and explores potential therapeutic uses based on clinical and assay studies.

In this study, Trapa bispinosa Roxb. pericarp extract demonstrated inhibitory effects on 5α-reductase activity both in vitro using LNCaP cells and in vivo in a mouse model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting its potential role in managing the condition.

The authors concluded that while increased androgens in men may link androgenetic alopecia with severe COVID-19, further research on a larger population is needed to verify this association.

This review summarizes the latest updates on using antiandrogens as potential prophylactic and therapeutic options for COVID-19, highlighting that androgen-mediated regulation of factors like TMPRSS2 and ACE2 is involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting a strategy to block viral entry into cells.

This review synthesizes existing evidence on the link between androgenic alopecia and severe COVID-19 outcomes, noting a potential role for anti-androgenic therapies in treating SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Low testosterone levels may lead to more severe COVID-19 outcomes.

This case report describes a 21-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed lupus nephritis in the context of thrombotic microangiopathy, including a rare presentation of cryoglobulin-like thrombi.

This review discusses the potential roles of androgens and antiandrogens in COVID-19 outcomes, noting unresolved questions about their effectiveness and safety for treatment.

Systemic mastocytosis may cause a type of hair loss called cicatricial alopecia.

This report covers the diagnosis and treatment of equine pemphigus foliaceus presented by a case study of a Hackney pony mare, showing improvement with prednisolone treatment.

A genetic mutation linked to longer life and less disease was found in the Amish, and a drug is being developed to replicate these benefits.

This study suggests that Tenebrio molitor larvae extract may promote hair growth and prevent hair loss by enhancing cell proliferation and protecting against cytotoxicity in laboratory settings.

Triamcinolone acetonide injections help regrow hair in alopecia areata patients.

This study concluded that two formulations of finasteride were bioequivalent based on Cmax, AUC, and Tmax data from healthy volunteers.

This study concluded that their modified immunohistochemical staining protocol can determine the ABO blood group of both medullated and non-medullated scalp hair, potentially aiding in hair sample screening before DNA analysis.

This study found that finasteride test and reference tablets are bioequivalent in healthy male volunteers, with no significant differences in their pharmacokinetic parameters.
