research COVID-19: Understanding Inter-Individual Variability and Implications for Precision Medicine
The conclusion is that individual differences in COVID-19 severity are influenced by factors like age, sex, race, and genetics, which are important for personalized medicine.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Anti‐androgens may protect against severe COVID‐19 outcomes: results from a prospective cohort study of 77 hospitalized men
Anti-androgens, like finasteride, dutasteride, and spironolactone, may lessen the severity of COVID-19 in men, leading to fewer ICU admissions.
research What does androgenetic alopecia have to do with COVID‐19? An insight into a potential new therapy
Androgenetic alopecia linked to COVID-19 severity; drugs reducing androgen receptor activation may help.
research Are sex discordant outcomes in COVID-19 related to sex hormones?
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with men often faring worse, and targeting related pathways could offer treatment options.
research Procyanidin B-2, extracted from apples, promotes hair growth: a laboratory study
Apple extract called procyanidin B-2 was found to greatly increase hair growth.
research 5‐alpha‐reductase inhibitors are associated with reduced frequency of COVID‐19 symptoms in males with androgenetic alopecia
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may reduce COVID-19 symptoms in bald males.
research Spironolactone: An Anti-androgenic and Anti-hypertensive Drug That May Provide Protection Against the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19
Spironolactone might help protect against severe lung problems in COVID-19 patients.
research Repurposing existing drugs for COVID-19: an endocrinology perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research Molecular characterization of xerosis cutis: A systematic review
It's unclear which molecules best characterize dry skin due to inconsistent findings.

research Role of β-Catenin Activation Levels and Fluctuations in Controlling Cell Fate
Proper control of β-catenin activity is crucial for development and preventing diseases like cancer.
research Keratinocyte-derived follistatin regulates epidermal homeostasis and wound repair
Activin activation in skin cells speeds up wound healing without affecting scar quality.
research Candidate genes of SARS-CoV-2 gender susceptibility
Men are more affected by COVID-19 due to differences in immune responses and protein expression.
research Alopecia and grey hair are associated with COVID‐19 Severity
Having a lot of gray hair and hair loss are linked to more severe COVID-19.
research MicroRNA in skin diseases
Certain microRNAs are linked to various skin diseases and could be used to diagnose and treat these conditions.
research Microarray analysis of androgenetic and senescent alopecia: Comparison of gene expression shows two distinct profiles
The conclusion is that androgenetic alopecia and senescent alopecia have unique gene changes, suggesting different causes and potential treatments for these hair loss types.
research Androgen receptor genetic variant predicts COVID‐19 disease severity: a prospective longitudinal study of hospitalized COVID‐19 male patients
A certain genetic variant in the androgen receptor may predict the severity of COVID-19 in men.
research A Humanized Mouse Model of Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D–Resistant Rickets Without Alopecia
