This study found that dexamethasone effectively suppressed DHEAS levels in women with elevated levels using much lower doses than previously thought, without significant adverse effects.

This review outlines best practices for providing culturally competent care to transgender patients and discusses considerations for assessing disease risk, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that their system effectively supports the rapid formation of human hair follicle organoids, providing a platform for studying hair regeneration and drug screening.

The researchers found that HOXC13 regulates different keratin proteins in a mixed manner, with certain SNPs impeding this regulation, while also demonstrating negative-feedback by HOXC13 and positive regulation by LEF1 and melatonin on the HOXC13 promoter.

This review discusses histologic findings in alopecia and emphasizes the importance of understanding normal follicular anatomy and cycles in transverse sections, without reporting new results.

This study found that increased hair graying was associated with a greater coronary atherosclerotic burden, suggesting it could serve as a risk marker for coronary artery disease independent of age.

This article reviews the genetic and potential environmental factors in alopecia areata's pathogenesis and suggests a polygenic model but reports no new clinical findings.

The authors concluded that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) shows promising potential as a safe treatment for hair restoration in androgenic alopecia, though further research is needed to refine its use and confirm long-term effects.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy helps improve atrophic acne scars.

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 study found that adjuvant sorafenib after hepatic resection improved overall survival in patients with intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, compared to surgery only.

This case study describes a 33-year-old woman with chronic myelogenous leukemia who developed nonscarring alopecia after starting nilotinib therapy, linked to perifollicular inflammation.

This study found that premature hair whitening intensity is independently associated with increased carotid artery intima-media thickness, suggesting a link between hair whitening and cardiovascular risk.

This article discusses the effectiveness of fat transfer for facial rejuvenation across all ethnicities, emphasizing its potential as both a primary method and a complement to traditional techniques, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study developed a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model for finasteride, concluding that finasteride's nonlinear pharmacokinetics are likely due to its saturable binding to 5alphaR2.

This review discusses the clinical features, genetics, and treatment of 21-hydroxylase deficiency, a common type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and reports no new research findings.

This study found that keratinocytes show increased expression of the TGF-β system and collagen type I with age, suggesting a heightened profibrotic response during skin differentiation associated with scarring.

This study found that a phytosomal delivery system improved the bioavailability of Cuscuta reflexa extract compared to the plain extract, suggesting enhanced potential for this formulation.

This review discusses common skin eruptions caused by biologics in treating inflammatory bowel disease and proposes tailored therapeutic approaches for managing these adverse reactions.

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 bee venom promoted hair growth in mice and inhibited a key enzyme involved in testosterone conversion, suggesting its potential as a 5α-reductase inhibitor and hair growth promoter.

This review assesses low-level laser therapy in plastic surgery and reports that it may improve flap survival and burn scars, but lacks efficacy for venous ulcers, alopecia, and skin aging.

This study indicates that targeting the PTH/PTHrP receptor may potentially stimulate hair growth, particularly for chemotherapy-induced alopecia, as observed in hairless and cyclophosphamide-treated mice.

This study found a relatively low prevalence of cutaneous reactions in chronic hepatitis C patients treated with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin, with reactions correlated to age and treatment duration.

This case report describes alopecia universalis-like hair loss occurring in two patients with cutaneous T cell lymphoma, providing clinical, dermoscopic, and pathologic features to help differentiate it from alopecia areata universalis.

This study demonstrated that using morphometric and 3D reconstruction software to evaluate scalp biopsies in non-cicatricial alopecias may be feasible and sensitive for detecting subtle follicular changes.

This article discusses the development and testing of comprehensible over-the-counter drug product labels, highlighting the need for improved consumer understanding and calling for further research on label design.

Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.

This study explores how SARS-CoV-2 interacts with endocrine organs and highlights specific endocrine molecules that help explain the progression and outcomes of COVID-19, especially in patients with certain metabolic conditions.

This study presents the first reported case of kerion-type scalp mycosis caused by Aspergillus protuberus, emphasizing the importance of mycological examination when diagnosing unusual scalp infections, especially in children.
