This genome-wide association study identified 71 genetic loci linked to male pattern baldness, with 30 novel loci, explaining 38% of the risk and suggesting shared pathways with lifespan and cancer traits.

In this study on Drosophila wings, researchers identified 435 genes with significant expression changes during wing hair morphogenesis, and found new phenotypes for 9 genes through functional validation.

This study found that 80% of hospitalized COVID-19 survivors experienced at least one post-COVID symptom seven months after discharge, with fatigue, hair loss, and dyspnea being the most common.

This article discusses the role of neurohormones and neuropeptides in hair follicle pigmentation and outlines promising neuroendocrinological strategies to address greying and damage, but reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrated that hair follicle-derived cells can induce hair follicle formation in an in vitro skin organ culture system using human retroauricular skin specimens.

This review highlights the challenges in treating alopecia areata, noting that current therapies often lead to relapse and have uncertain long-term effectiveness; it also points to potential future treatments such as JAK-STAT inhibitors and PRP.

This review discusses recent data on the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids and other steroid compounds and reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that oral spironolactone may be a useful and low-cost first-line treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa in women, with relatively few side effects.

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.

In this study, 3% topical minoxidil showed some efficacy in hair regrowth for patients with extensive alopecia areata, especially those with less than total scalp hair loss, but did not lead to complete remission.

This study found that FOXN1 haploinsufficiency is a significant genetic factor causing T cell lymphopenia at birth, linked to reduced thymic function in both humans and mice.

This study found that Google Trends data on search terms like "eyelid plastic surgery," "facelift," and "rhinoplasty surgery" significantly correlated with actual US surgery volumes, highlighting its potential use for plastic surgeons in marketing and advertising decisions.

This study observed that nearly all aged nursing home residents in Berlin had at least one dermatological condition, with xerosis cutis being the most common, but few associations with demographics or medical characteristics were found.

This review suggests that platelet-rich plasma may be effective in increasing hair density in patients with androgenetic alopecia, but more research is needed to determine the best treatment protocol.

In this study of 20 patients with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, using trichoscopy improved diagnosis, and treatments with high-potency steroids or topical tacrolimus effectively reduced inflammatory signs, suggesting these as first-line treatments.

This review discusses botulinum toxin's experimental off-label uses in dermatology, highlighting promising results but emphasizing the need for more clinical trials to confirm efficacy and safety.

Other common signs, not just the well-known immune cells around hair bulbs, are important for diagnosing hair loss from alopecia areata.

The study found that severe insulin resistance and premature diabetes are common in patients with PCNT genetic defects, primarily affecting those over four years old, while not impacting early insulin signaling in adipocytes.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia is the leading cause of hair loss in adolescents and may indicate endocrine disorders, emphasizing the need for accurate diagnosis.

This article describes the development and validation of a standardized instrument for measuring skin involvement in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, aiming to aid future clinical research and trials.

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 observed that hair loss in captive rhesus macaques varies with season, sex, and housing conditions, and is significantly correlated with HPA axis activity as indicated by faecal cortisol metabolites.

This study found that twice-daily application of 3% topical minoxidil maintained a higher nonvellus hair count compared to once-daily application over 2 years and 9 months in men with male pattern baldness.

This review examines existing research and clinical trials on the use of dupilumab for various skin, respiratory, and gastrointestinal disorders, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the potential therapeutic effects of targeting the endocannabinoid system for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for ongoing research.

This study found that longer exposure to 5α-reductase inhibitors significantly increased the risk of persistent erectile dysfunction, especially in younger men exposed to finasteride.

This study analyzed skin from 538 knockout mouse mutants and identified 50 with epidermal phenotypes, providing valuable insights into genetic conditions and systemic effects related to skin abnormalities.

This study found that Sri Lankan women with polycystic ovary syndrome experienced higher psychological distress and poorer health-related quality of life, primarily linked to hirsutism rather than obesity.

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 study found that spironolactone treatment can normalize endothelial function and improve cholesterol levels in non-obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
