research Assessment of a Bidirectional Association Between Major Depressive Disorder and Alopecia Areata
People with Major Depressive Disorder have a higher chance of getting Alopecia Areata, and vice versa; antidepressants may lower this risk.
research Treatment of male rats with finasteride, an inhibitor of 5alpha-reductase enzyme, induces long-lasting effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis, neuroinflammation and gut microbiota composition
Finasteride treatment in male rats causes long-lasting effects on depression-like behavior, brain cell growth, inflammation, and gut bacteria composition.
research The quantification of reproductive hormones in the hair of captive adult brown bears and their application as indicators of sex and reproductive state
Measuring reproductive hormones in brown bear hair could help identify their sex and reproductive state, but better collection methods or lab techniques are needed.
research Dutasteride reduces alcohol’s sedative effects in men in a human laboratory setting and reduces drinking in the natural environment
Dutasteride makes alcohol less sedating and may lead to less drinking in men.
research Finasteride Treatment Inhibits Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Male Mice
Finasteride reduces new brain cells in male mice, possibly causing depression.
research Efficacy and Safety of a Low-Level Light Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia: A 24-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Self-Comparison, Sham Device-Controlled Trial
Low-level light therapy safely improves hair coverage, thickness, and count in androgenetic alopecia patients.
research Premature Adrenarche
Early adrenal gland maturation in young children can be normal, but other serious conditions should be ruled out first.
research Responses of hair follicle–associated structures to loss of planar cell polarity signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Estimating the Contribution of the Prostate to Blood Dihydrotestosterone
The normal human prostate does not significantly affect blood DHT levels.
research Anatomic location of primary melanoma: Survival differences and sun exposure
Where melanoma is on the body affects survival chances; melanomas on the back of the head are worse, while those on thighs and arms are less severe, and more sun exposure might improve survival.
research Annurca Apple Nutraceutical Formulation Enhances Keratin Expression in a Human Model of Skin and Promotes Hair Growth and Tropism in a Randomized Clinical Trial

research Sperm aneuploidy in infertile male patients: a systematic review of the literature
Infertile men are more likely to produce sperm with abnormal chromosome numbers, which can affect pregnancy success and embryo health.
research L ‐Carnitine–L ‐tartrate promotes human hair growth in vitro
L-Carnitine-L-tartrate may help hair grow and prevent hair loss.
research A randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical study of hair regeneration using adipose-derived stem cell constituent extract in androgenetic alopecia
ADSC-CE treatment safely increases hair density and thickness in androgenetic alopecia patients.
research Synaptic Long-Term Potentiation and Depression in the Rat Medial Vestibular Nuclei Depend on Neural Activation of Estrogenic and Androgenic Signals
Estrogen and androgen signals control synaptic changes in rat brains.
research Interventions for morphea
Some treatments like methotrexate with prednisone might help juvenile morphea, but more research is needed to confirm.
research A sport crisis typology: establishing a pathway for future research
The document concludes that future research should focus on tailored solutions for managing sports crises and consider legal and cultural factors.
research Female patients complaining about hair loss: documentation of defective scalp hair dynamics with contrast-enhanced phototrichogram
The study concluded that a special imaging technique showed women with hair loss have slower hair growth and a faulty hair replacement cycle.
research Major depletion of SOX2+ stem cells in the adult pituitary is not restored which does not affect hormonal cell homeostasis and remodelling
The pituitary gland functions normally even after losing most SOX2+ stem cells.
research A population‐based nested case–control study: the use of 5‐alpha‐reductase inhibitors and the increased risk of osteoporosis diagnosis in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia
Taking finasteride for benign prostate hyperplasia may increase the risk of osteoporosis, especially at higher doses.
research The Androgen Receptor and Its Use in Biological Assays: Looking Toward Effect-Based Testing and Its Applications
Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.
research An Open-Label Randomized Multicenter Study Assessing the Noninferiority of a Caffeine-Based Topical Liquid 0.2% versus Minoxidil 5% Solution in Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Caffeine-based liquid 0.2% is as effective as minoxidil 5% for treating male hair loss.
research Interventions for female pattern hair loss
