This study found that enhanced expression of the Sonic hedgehog gene via an adenovirus vector accelerated hair regrowth in mice with chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This study emphasizes the genetic component of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting an atypical case involving an adolescent male within an African-American family.

This study highlights the significance of SFRP2 expression in dermal papilla cells, noting its correlation with the inductive potential for hair growth, although its role may be more indicative than transformative.

Treatment improved some symptoms but not all.

This article is a self-assessment by Rosa Angela Ragni and Kenneth Smith, reporting no new results.

This chapter discusses a case of feline paraneoplastic alopecia in a cat and provides educational insights into recognizing and managing the condition, along with potential treatment approaches.

This study found significant species differences in the enzyme activity and inhibitor affinities of prostatic 5α-reductases from rats, dogs, and humans, with variable potencies for different 3-oxo-4-azasteroid inhibitors across species.

This study found that low level laser therapy with a HairMax LaserComb improved hair counts and tensile strength in patients with androgenetic alopecia, particularly in males and vertex areas.

This study suggests that Malassezia spp. overgrowth may contribute to pruritus and skin lesions in allergic cats, with antifungal treatments alone providing substantial improvements.

This study found that PNU 157706 is a highly potent inhibitor of human 5α-reductase enzymes, showing a stronger and longer-lasting antiprostatic effect in rats compared to finasteride.

This study found that topical finasteride and flutamide both significantly reduced sebaceous gland growth and decreased prostatic weights in hamsters, indicating systemic effects despite local application.

The document explains various skin conditions in cats and how to diagnose and treat them.

This article discusses whether testosterone's metabolism to 5α-dihydrotestosterone is necessary for androgenic effects in the skin but reports no new experimental results.

This case study suggests lymphocytic mural folliculitis in a cat might be an early sign of pancreatic carcinoma.

This study found that among eleven tested polymethoxyflavones, 5-hydroxy-7,4′-dimethoxyflavone was the strongest steroid 5α-reductase inhibitor and suggests potential use for benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment.

The cat had liver cancer and a related hair loss condition, with a likely cause being bile duct cancer.

This case study reported that a 13-year-old cat with paraneoplastic alopecia due to an intraabdominal apocrine adenocarcinoma exhibited ventrally distributed alopecia and shiny skin, with necropsy showing telogenisation and miniaturisation of the hair follicles.

In this case report, a 12-year-old female pug mix dog diagnosed with demodicosis and a Malassezia infection showed improvement in symptoms after a week of treatment with antiparasitic drugs, antibiotics, antifungal medications, antihistamines, and vitamins, evidenced by reduced scratching intensity.

In this study, 2-deoxy D-glucose did not prevent the progression of alopecia areata or promote hair regrowth in a mouse model despite its efficacy in other autoimmune conditions.

This report from a veterinary clinical case observed a two-year-old Lhasa apso with generalized demodicosis and severe secondary bacterial pyoderma, successfully treated through an integrated approach combining ivermectin, antimicrobials, and supportive therapies, resulting in significant clinical improvement.

In this case report, a 7-month-old local dog named Oreo was diagnosed with demodicosis and helminthiasis and showed improvement in skin condition after 14 days of treatment with ivermectin, antihistamines, vitamin B complex, fish oil, and sulfur soap.

This review discusses the use of antiandrogens like flutamide and its derivatives in prostate cancer treatment and highlights the need for next-generation antiandrogens for improved efficacy; it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the influence of estrogens on hair follicle growth and metabolism, suggesting a significant role alongside androgens in hair growth control but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the autoimmune nature of alopecia areata, potential therapeutic targets, and highlights the need for further studies on immunomodulatory treatments and genetic factors, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review explores finasteride's effects on neuroactive steroid levels and their potential influence on disorders like depression and alcohol withdrawal but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the basic biology of apoptosis and its relevance to skin diseases, without presenting new research findings.

This study found that 4 weeks of finasteride treatment significantly decreased DHT levels in bald scalp to levels similar to hair-containing scalp in men with male pattern baldness.

This review discusses the complex interaction between androgens and hair follicle biology, highlighting the need for a better understanding to improve hirsutism treatments, but reports no new results.

This study suggests that Botox injections may increase hair count and reduce hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia, potentially through increased blood flow and oxygen to the scalp.

This review discusses the development and selectivity of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, particularly non-steroidal ones, and reports no new clinical trial results.
