This article reviews the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of androgenic alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that while participants in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, had good knowledge about Vitamin D and recognized sunlight as a key source, there was inconsistency in their attitudes towards maintaining adequate Vitamin D levels.

This study reports ten cases of non-marginal traction alopecia in women with very long hair, which was improved with shorter hair cuts and topical minoxidil application.

This case report describes a unique dermatologic condition called SCRATCH, occurring in a runner due to shirt friction, which resulted in clumped axillary hairs and temporary alopecia.

Continuous glucose monitoring and GLP-1 receptor agonists improve diabetes management, but personalized care and education are crucial.

In this review, the authors examine current treatments for acne in adult women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, noting that the combination of hyperandrogenism and metabolic issues in PCOS can lead to acne formation on the face, chest, and back.

This review of interventions for alopecia areata found no significant treatment benefits for hair growth compared to placebo, indicating a need for larger, well-conducted studies.

This study developed a mouse model lacking keratin 16 to replicate palmoplantar lesions, which may help uncover the molecular mechanisms driving these lesions in pachyonychia congenita and focal non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma.

This study suggests that selenium deficiency accelerates aging-related health deterioration in mice with short telomeres, providing a model for exploring selenium’s role in human aging.

The researchers reported that the rat Hershberger assay reliably detected endocrine-disrupting effects of finasteride, procymidone, and 17α-methyltestosterone, validating the assay's sensitivity for identifying hormonal activity.

This study found that curcumin administration improved cognitive and anxiety-related behaviors and neurochemical levels in HgCl₂ exposed mice pups, suggesting protective effects against heavy metal-induced neurotoxicity.

This study identified the rough coat mutation in mice, but found that LOXL is not the causal gene, although its downregulation might contribute to related phenotypic changes.

This study found that vertical sleeve gastrectomy improved metabolic, behavioral, and reproductive symptoms in a rat model of PCOS, suggesting it may be a potential therapy for specific aspects of PCOS.

This study found that celery supplementation improved cognition and behavioral disorders in LPS-exposed mouse offspring by increasing levels of dopamine, acetylcholinesterase, and serotonin in the forebrain.

This study found that a five-dimensional model of personality perception from men's facial photographs better captures the complexity of face perception than the traditional two-dimensional Valence-Dominance model, highlighting overlaps with personality structures known from differential psychology.

This study identified dose levels of selenium that can produce toxicity, noting that doses as low as 2-3 µg Se/kg bw/day can lead to adverse effects, and a human mortality study linked 300 µg/day consumption to increased death risk.

This study found that desmocollin 1 is crucial for strong adhesion and barrier maintenance in the mouse epidermis, with its absence leading to skin and hair issues resembling chronic dermatitis.

This study found that supplementing pregnant cashmere goats' diets according to nutritional standards improved their fiber production, growth, fertility, and the development of kids' secondary hair follicles.

This study identified a new ovine KRTAP21-1 gene variant in sheep, with wool yield affected by the variant, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for improving wool production.

This study found no significant difference in hair cortisol concentrations, a chronic stress indicator, between sows in farrowing crates and those in loose-housing systems.

This review highlights that Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide exhibits various bioactivities, such as antioxidant and immune-modulating effects, and explores its potential applications in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

This article reviews various medical treatments for hidradenitis suppurativa based on the author's experience with over 350 patients, but it reports no new clinical findings.
