research Increased frequency of the DI genotype of the angiotensin-I converting enzyme and association of the II genotype with insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome
The study suggests certain ACE gene variations are more common in women with PCOS and may be linked to increased insulin resistance.
research Involvement of DKK1 secreted from adipose‐derived stem cells in alopecia areata
A protein from fat-derived stem cells, DKK1, is linked to hair loss and blocking it may help treat alopecia areata.
research Botulinum toxin type A alleviates androgenetic alopecia by inhibiting apoptosis of dermal papilla cells via targeting circ_0135062/miR-506-3p/Bax axis
Botulinum toxin type A helps treat hair loss by stopping cell death in hair follicles through a process involving certain non-coding RNAs and a protein called Bax.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency revisited: an update with a special focus on adolescent and adult women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
research Abstract 5561: 20(S)-Protopanaxadiol-aglycone downregulates full-length and ligand-independent splice variants of androgen receptor
20(S)-Protopanaxadiol-aglycone may help prevent and treat prostate cancer by reducing androgen receptor activity.
research Unravelling the link between insulin resistance and androgen excess
AKR1C3 could be a treatment target for metabolic issues in PCOS.
research Acne and Systemic Disease
Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in acne, which can be a symptom of systemic diseases like PCOS and may require targeted treatment.

research Nonscarring Alopecias
research 919 Overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the skin of adult transgenic mice leads to sebaceous gland hyperplasia and thinning of hair shafts
Increasing COX-2 in mouse skin causes bigger sebaceous glands and thinner hair, but stopping COX-2 can reverse hair thinning.
research α‐Difluoromethylornithine, a polyamine inhibitor: its potential role in controlling hair growth and in cancer treatment and chemo‐prevention
DFMO may help control hair growth and treat cancer.
research Prostate Specific Antigen in Different Dermatoses Associated with Polycystic Ovary: Review Article
PSA might help diagnose PCOS and related skin issues, but more research is needed.
research Acetate meliorates depressive-like behaviour in a rat model of PCOS through suppression of HDAC2 expression and DNA methylation
Acetate helps reduce depression in rats with PCOS by lowering specific gene expression and DNA changes in the brain.
research Dexpanthenol may be a novel treatment for male androgenetic alopecia: Analysis of nine cases
Dexpanthenol improves hair growth in male baldness.
research Assessment of diagnostic competence of plasmatic androgens on polycystic ovary syndrome based on receiver operator characteristic curves
Free Testosterone Index, bioavailable testosterone, and androstenedione are the most accurate for diagnosing excess male hormones in PCOS.
research Effective treatment of refractory alopecia areata in pediatric patients with oral abrocitinib
A new drug, abrocitinib, helped a child with severe hair loss regrow hair.
research Index of Suspicion
Thorough history and examination are crucial for diagnosing genetic disorders like juvenile polyposis and hypomelanosis of Ito.
research Congenital atrichia with papular lesions resulting from novel mutations in human hairless gene in four consanguineous families

research Alopecia Areata – Effects of Treatment with Upadacitinib – Two Case Reports
Upadacitinib improves life quality for Alopecia Areata patients without worsening skin issues.
research Androgen Receptor Accelerates Premature Senescence of Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Association with DNA Damage
Androgen receptor signaling causes early aging of cells important for hair growth by damaging their DNA.
