This source reports that scalp cooling is currently the only safe and FDA-cleared method to potentially reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss, with about a 50% chance of maintaining sufficient hair to avoid needing a wig.

This review explores potential indications for prolactin receptor inhibitors beyond breast and prostate cancers, emphasizing the need for potent antibodies to further research prolactin receptor expression.

This study reported that female pattern hair loss was prevalent in 11.8% of women aged 30 and older and was associated with high fasting glucose, fewer childbirths, oral contraceptive use, and excessive ultraviolet exposure.

This review covers the connection between thyroid diseases and skin conditions like alopecia, dermatitis, and vitiligo, and highlights the need for further research on the role of thyroid hormones in skin health.

This article provides a framework for understanding hair disorders and treatment options in transgender individuals undergoing hormonal therapy and reports no new clinical results.

The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.

This study found that the GGC repeat length significantly influenced testosterone levels in oral contraceptive users from high-risk breast cancer families, and homozygosity for short alleles may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.

This review discusses treatment options for hirsutism in women of childbearing age, focusing on the use of contraceptives, CPA, spironolactone, and third-line therapies, and reports no clinical results.

This study found that extracellular ATP released from UVB-irradiated keratinocytes promotes melanin production through the P2X7 receptor, indicating a role for ATP-P2X7 signaling in UV-induced melanogenesis.

This study found that tamsulosin, finasteride use, and aging are significantly associated with increased risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery, while doxazosin does not appear to pose this risk.

This review discusses the potential mechanisms of platelet-rich plasma in facial rejuvenation and reports no new clinical results, indicating a theoretical basis for its use in tissue regeneration.

This review summarizes existing knowledge of how the WNT signaling pathway affects mesenchymal stem cells under various conditions, highlighting challenges and mechanisms for clinical applications.

This study found that deferiprone significantly reduced dermal fibrosis and skin thickness in mice with chronic kidney disease treated with Omniscan, suggesting iron's role in gadolinium chelate toxicity and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.

Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.

This review discusses the role of inheritance, androgens, and microinflammation in androgenetic alopecia and suggests some plant-based folk remedies may help address these factors but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses hypopituitarism's bidirectional relationship with COVID-19 due to metabolic comorbidities and pituitary risks, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses targeting host cell proteases as a novel approach to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting transcriptional modulation and enzymatic inhibition as promising therapeutic strategies, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that MENT is 10 times more potent than testosterone in suppressing gonadotropins and contributing to anabolism in monkeys, with a potentially wider therapeutic index for human androgen replacement and male contraception.

This review compiles data on how the apelinergic system may protect against heart damage caused by doxorubicin cancer treatment, suggesting its potential to mitigate cardiotoxicity, though further research in chronic models is needed to confirm these effects and mechanisms.

This study found that finasteride impaired object recognition memory and altered hippocampal dendritic structures in male 3xTg-AD mice, suggesting potential sex differences in Alzheimer's disease pathology.

This review highlights the challenges in screening for steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and discusses significant variability in the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride, calling for standardized testing methods to develop safer, more specific inhibitors from herbal preparations.

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 paper reviews the role of the telomere-telomerase system in cellular ageing and cancer, discussing potential therapies but reporting no new experimental results.

This study reports that chemically induced short anogenital distance in male rat fetuses involved distinctive transcriptional changes, suggesting roles for estrogen and Wnt2 signaling in anogenital tissue development.

THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.

This article discusses the hypothesis that mechanisms driving androgenic alopecia may reduce the risk and proliferation of prostate cancer by increasing prostaglandin D2 levels but presents no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the causes and treatments of hirsutism, emphasizing identifying potentially life-threatening pathologies, but it reports no new clinical results.

A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.

In this study, finasteride was found to potentiate stress-induced disruption in sensory gating of rats by neutralizing the increase in allopregnanolone levels after acute stress.
