This study introduces a five-modal microscopy technique that allows label-free, in vivo observation and quantitative analysis of various wound healing processes.

In this study, finasteride was found to inhibit the dopaminergic system and reduce open-field behaviors in adolescent male rats by decreasing dopamine levels and related proteins.

This review discusses the potential uses of 5α-reductase inhibitors for conditions ranging from benign prostatic hyperplasia to skin disorders like acne and male pattern baldness, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that inhibiting 5α-reductase in molluscs provokes a specific shell morphology, suggesting gastropods might have unique 5α-reductase substrates absent in vertebrates.

This study observed that hirsutism, alopecia, and acne are the most common androgenic symptoms in women with PCOS, with treatments including biotin, minoxidil, and over-the-counter acne medications.

This review discusses the hormonal influences on acne's development in women and the therapeutic potential of hormonal treatments, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study describes the enzymatic processes through which DHEA is converted to active sex steroids in human skin, highlighting an androgenic effect on sebaceous glands and estrogenic effects in the vagina.

This review discusses how androgens may regulate wound healing and inflammation, noting that testosterone appears to inhibit healing and promote inflammation, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the steroidogenic properties of human skin and suggests that impaired steroidogenesis may be linked to conditions like acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This article examines current pharmacologic treatments for PCOS focusing on symptom-specific approaches, particularly the metabolic effects of therapies, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that subchronic finasteride treatment in male rats altered neuroactive steroid levels and steroid receptor expression in the brain, with some changes persisting after drug withdrawal.

This chapter reviews various antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors, detailing their mechanisms, uses, and side effects, with a focus on spironolactone, finasteride, dutasteride, and oral contraceptives.

Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.

Non-drug methods like diet, supplements, and aromatherapy can help manage hair loss and its emotional impact.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but reports no new research results.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding and managing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including improvements in screening, diagnostics, and potential genetic and cell-based treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the minimal research on hair growth physiology and highlights Dr. Masumi Inaba's contributions to understanding androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new experimental results.

This chapter reviews genetic defects in female sexual differentiation, focusing on 46,XX disorders of sex development and the impact of genetic factors and sex steroids on development, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that sebaceous glands in bald scalp have greater androgen binding affinity and capacity than those in hairy scalp, possibly contributing to the androgenic response seen in male pattern baldness.

This study suggests that porphyra-334 may have antiaging properties, promoting collagen synthesis, improving periorbital wrinkles, and supporting hair follicle growth through gene regulation.

In this study, researchers found that sweet potato shochu oil promotes hair growth in both human follicle dermal papilla cells and C3H mice. The oil contains components like ethyl palmitate, ethyl linoleate, and ethyl α-linolenate, which were key contributors to its hair growth-inducing effects.

In this study, the ChatGPT-5 model accurately answered 76.47% of questions on the Polish endocrinology specialty exam, surpassing the 60% passing threshold, yet its role in clinical decision-making remains uncertain, highlighting the need for further research.

This review explores androgen metabolism in the skin, highlighting enzyme localization and potential implications for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of hormones in acne vulgaris and highlights the need for further research on their mechanisms of action; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the potential role of steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors in treating neuropsychiatric disorders related to dopaminergic hyperreactivity but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that overexpression of AKR1C3 in prostate cancer cells redirected androgen metabolism towards testosterone production, which facilitated cell proliferation, potentially reducing the effectiveness of finasteride treatment.

This study found that topical finasteride and flutamide both significantly reduced sebaceous gland growth and decreased prostatic weights in hamsters, indicating systemic effects despite local application.

This study suggests that in SZ95 sebocytes, a pathway for DHT biosynthesis does not require testosterone as an intermediate, potentially impacting the treatment of androgen-sensitive skin conditions.

This study found that 4-MA is a potent inhibitor of testosterone 5α-reductase in human tissues, promising potential for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions like male pattern baldness.

This review discusses the complexity of neuroactive steroid therapies for neuroprotection and reports no new clinical findings, suggesting potential unexpected effects in the brain compared to systemic levels.
