This case report presents a 30-year-old man experiencing baldness.

This review discusses 46,XY disorders of sex development caused by defects in androgen production and highlights the need for long-term care from experienced multidisciplinary teams, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews differential diagnosis approaches for 46,XY DSD, proposing a diagnostic algorithm focused on biochemical and genetic data, without presenting new clinical results.

This review discusses the pathways of androgen biosynthesis and reports no new findings, highlighting the need to understand the interplay between the classic and backdoor pathways.

This chapter reviews the biosynthesis, mechanism of action, and therapeutic effects of testosterone and related androgens, but reports no new research findings.

This case report described a 9-year-old girl initially suspected to have complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, whose laboratory tests later suggested an alternative diagnosis involving atypical steroid metabolism patterns and hormonal responses.

This study found that acellular dermal matrix scaffolds may facilitate full-thickness skin wound healing by promoting a pro-regenerative immune response through M2 macrophage polarization via the Lamtor1 pathway.

This case report discusses the diagnostic challenges and management options for three siblings with 46, XY DSD due to type 2 5-α reductase deficiency, highlighting the genetic basis and impact on their quality of life.

This case report describes a rare instance of a Chinese Crested dog with leukocyte chimerism, normal female external genitalia, and hormonally active Sertoli cell tumors, demonstrating surgery as a curative treatment option.

This case report describes a 46-year-old Italian woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia who experienced significant improvements in physical and psychological health after receiving a delayed diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

This study concludes that anti-androgenic chemicals causing short anogenital distance in male fetuses also induce a feminized transcriptional profile in the perineum, implicating Wnt and estrogen signaling in the process.

This study suggests that gender-affirming testosterone therapy in transgender men is generally safe and effective with adequate screening and monitoring, although high-quality long-term studies are lacking.

This study highlights that restrictive abortion laws, financial barriers, and lack of sexual education are major issues in countries like Poland, the USA, and Italy, suggesting needed changes such as improved sex education, access to contraception, and international networks for legal abortion.

This review discusses various treatment options for adult female acne, highlighting the need for tailored approaches due to individual patient needs and reports no clinical outcomes.

This article reviews the role of factor Xa inhibitors like Rivaroxaban and suggests they may eventually replace vitamin K antagonists, but their side effects require further clarification.

This review classifies mutant mice with hair abnormalities into six categories, providing an annotated table that serves as a reference for understanding the molecular controls of hair growth.

This review describes a practical approach for dermatologists to manage adult female acne using hormonal therapies and highlights the importance of identifying possible underlying endocrine disorders like PCOS, but it does not report new findings.

In this study, fetal stem cells were identified in adult human hair follicles long after childbirth, indicating potential for autologous therapies due to their pluripotent characteristics.

This study observed that numerical chromosomal aberrations were more common in men with severe male factor infertility and azoospermia compared to those with other sperm quality issues, while chromosomal translocations were significantly associated with oligoasthenozoospermia, highlighting important genetic counseling considerations.

This study found that gelatin sponges used as scaffolds in rats with deep wounds and periosteal defects enabled regeneration of diverse tissue types, including periosteum, skin, and appendages, highlighting the role of vascular niche formation.

This consensus concluded that oral isotretinoin is highly effective for treating acne and some off-label conditions, with common adverse events being manageable and rare serious risks not contraindicating use.

This study found that sonicated platelet-rich plasma was more effective than calcium chloride-induced platelet-rich plasma in activating hair follicle stem cells and promoting hair follicle regeneration in mice.

This paper discusses the link between polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and health issues like infertility and cardiovascular diseases, caused by both genetic and environmental factors, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that in chimaeric mice models, the pigment distribution and pattern were influenced by the sash genotype, demonstrating the melanocyte-autonomous nature of the beige and leaden loci.
