This narrative review highlights the critical role of intracrine hormone production in peripheral tissues, suggesting that continuous-release subcutaneous testosterone pellet therapy may offer a more effective symptom-driven approach for aging populations, though large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed for confirmation.

This study used a mouse model to reveal that S100A4-positive cells, specifically fibroblasts and immune cells, play a crucial role in nipple development, essential for successful lactation, despite no issues with mammary morphology or milk production.

In this study, researchers found that sesamin, a component of sesamum, modulated the AR-MAPK-Wnt signaling pathway in DHT-stimulated HaCaT keratinocytes, demonstrating potential multi-target activity against molecular events in androgenetic alopecia.

This study investigated the mechanisms of Platycladi Cacumen in treating androgenetic alopecia, identifying potential key components and targets but found no specific targets or regulatory mechanisms.

In this study, cedrol was found to reduce lipid accumulation in the liver and adipose tissues of dexamethasone-treated mice by antagonizing glucocorticoid receptors, suggesting its potential utility in treating dexamethasone-induced lipid metabolism disorders.

In this study, researchers explored hair follicle development in Qianhua Mutton Merino sheep, identifying key genes like KRT27 and IGF-2 that impact this process, with findings suggesting significant molecular changes as sheep mature from newborn to one year old.

In this study, lipid metabolism was found to be reduced in scalp tissues of patients with androgenetic alopecia, and lipid supplementation enhanced hair growth-related gene expression in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting a potential role for lipids in promoting hair growth through HIF-1 signaling.

In this study, the researchers investigated the plant Vitex negundo and its active ingredients, noting that both natural and synthetic derivatives exhibit concentrated biological activity, which may explain the plant's traditional use in treating various ailments such as depression, malaria, and skin diseases.

This study suggests that targeting the increased expression of SIX1 in systemic sclerosis may be a viable strategy for addressing dermal fibrosis.

This study examined the molecular communication in psoriasis cells, highlighting unique immune cell interactions and identifying new features of the hair follicle cell-psoriasis axis. It suggests the potential for targeted therapies at the single-cell level to improve psoriasis treatment.

This study found that BEO inhibited cell proliferation and inflammatory mediator release in a human keratinocyte acne model and reduced acne lesion severity in a rabbit model, suggesting its potential as a natural alternative to conventional acne treatments.

This review discusses the mechanisms and potential therapeutic benefits of mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicles delivered via biomaterials, but reports no new clinical results.

This article argues that androgen sensitivity could be a key factor in the severity of COVID-19, suggesting that trials with anti-androgen agents may be warranted.

This review discusses the relationship between insulin regulation and hyperandrogenemia in polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting potential benefits of insulin-lowering treatments for ovarian function but reporting no definitive results for hair-related symptoms.

Hormonal treatments are effective as a second-line option for moderate-to-severe acne in females, but should be used with caution due to health risks.

This article discusses clinical features and treatment options for hyperandrogenism in women and does not report new findings, highlighting current practices in diagnosis and management.

This review highlights the potential of wedelolactone from the plant Wedelia Chinensis, summarizing its reported pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antitumor, anti-osteoporosis activities, and organ protection based on existing in vitro and in vivo research findings.

This review discusses the controversial non-inflammatory alopecia known as alopecia X, highlighting its unknown etiology and the variable effectiveness of various proposed treatments, but reports no new results.

This review examines the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for non-classic congenital hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and provides evidence-based recommendations for its treatment and genetic counseling.

This study suggests that 5α-reduced glucocorticoids may have anti-inflammatory potential and could serve as biomarkers for liver inflammation in metabolic disease, with implications for drug development.

This review found that 5α-reductase inhibitors are associated with slightly increased rates of sexual dysfunction, gynecomastia, and mood disorders, but the true significance and persistence of these effects remain unclear.

This study suggests that in an ex vivo rat glaucoma model, TSPO activation is involved in Allopregnanolone synthesis and may help prevent retinal damage, with TSPO agonists as potential therapeutic agents.

This review discusses potential treatments for androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new findings, emphasizing the importance of individualized antiandrogenic management to minimize side effects.

This study found that 18-β-Glycyrrhetinic acid, a licorice component, stimulated human hair follicle cell proliferation, inhibited testosterone 5α-reductase, and suppressed TGF-β1, suggesting potential for treating androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair growth and prolonging the anagen phase.

This review concluded that the efficacy of cosmeceutical hair serums for addressing hair loss lies in their use of bioactive peptides and plant compounds, like flavonoids and sterols, that target eight key contributing factors identified in hair loss conditions.
