This study suggests that cerebrospinal fluid levels of the neurosteroids allopregnanolone and pregnanolone correlate negatively with PTSD and negative mood symptoms, with potential sex-specific differences in synthesis enzyme blocks.

This article reviews major types of genetic hair shaft defects and associated syndromes, emphasizing understanding histologic features and diagnostic methods, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that nanostructured lipid carriers with more soybean phosphatidylcholine provided better skin retention and follicular targeting for diphencyprone compared to other formulations and controls.

This study reports that C3H/HeJ mice and DEBR rats serve as effective models for screening potential treatments for human alopecia areata, despite certain challenges in predictability and cost.

This study found that male pattern baldness in European males is strongly heritable and associated with genetic markers linked to earlier puberty, bone density, and pancreatic function.

This study identified novel genetic associations with skin phenotypes such as age-spots, freckles, and hair characteristics in Japanese women, providing insights into the genetic basis of these traits.

This review discusses how androgens may regulate wound healing and inflammation, noting that testosterone appears to inhibit healing and promote inflammation, but it reports no new clinical results.

Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

This study utilized a sequence-structure alignment approach to improve the characterization of Class A Rhodopsin GPCR superfamily, including orphan and unclassified receptors, through evolutionary analysis.

Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.

This article reviews methods to enhance epithelial–mesenchymal interactions for hair follicle bioengineering but does not present new experimental results; it emphasizes optimizing combinations for successful regeneration.

This study found that daily use of 1% pyrithione zinc shampoo modestly improved hair growth over 26 weeks, although these effects were less than those of 5% minoxidil.

This article reviews common hair growth abnormalities in children, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing normal development from potential signs of metabolic disorders and indicates no new clinical results.

This study discusses the use of oral contraceptives as a treatment for hyperandrogenism, showing improvement in hirsutism and acne for many women and possibly providing metabolic benefits with certain formulations.

This protocol describes using two-photon laser-scanning microscopy to study hair regeneration in live mice, offering detailed imaging capabilities for observing hair follicle stem cell behavior and manipulating cellular populations.

This study found that free testosterone levels were a more sensitive indicator of hyperandrogenism in women with acne than total testosterone levels.

This review explores the impact of various medications on male fertility, highlighting reversible negative effects from methotrexate, finasteride, and ketoconazole, while reporting no adverse fertility effects for oral retinoids and certain immunosuppressants.

This review discusses the potential for SSRIs to cause serious skin reactions and suggests considering alternative antidepressants if such reactions occur.

This review discusses the relationship between aging, chronic inflammation, and immunosuppression, suggesting that these interconnected processes may contribute to tumorigenesis and premature aging, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that low-level laser therapy was the most effective non-surgical treatment for androgenetic alopecia, although the overall quality of evidence supporting various therapies was generally low.

This review outlines the steps of contemporary hair transplantation surgery, including the roles of medications and nonsurgical options, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses various skin infections and conditions that commonly occur in patients with HIV, but it does not report new research findings.

This review discusses the use of antimüllerian hormone as a marker of ovarian reserve in infertility diagnosis and treatment, noting it reflects oocyte quantity but not health or pregnancy likelihood.

This review presents updated tables of mouse mutants with hair growth abnormalities to aid in understanding the molecular mechanisms of human hair disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the use of 5α-reductase inhibitors in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, highlighting their long-term effectiveness and benefits when combined with α1-adrenergic antagonists; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein in mice resulted in 30–40% shorter hair due to premature transition into the catagen phase of the hair cycle.

This study suggests that activating retinoic acid signalling can inhibit Wnt signalling and induce regression in certain skin tumors, providing potential therapeutic strategies for tumor regression.

In this study of reproductive-aged women in Tehran, idiopathic hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome were reported to be prevalent, with rates influenced by the screening methods used.

This study measured the lengths and depths of different portions of occipital scalp hair follicles and suggested cutting below 1 mm for hair regeneration procedures to avoid damaging the bulge zone.

This study found that in patients who underwent jejuno-ileal bypass for morbid obesity, dapsone was effective in treating inflammatory skin lesions and joint symptoms when other antibiotics failed.
