This study suggests that the testosterone analogs 7α-Methyltestosterone and 7α-Ethyltestosterone may offer promising androgenic, progestogenic, and anabolic properties for development as male contraceptives.

This article reviews the potential clinical use of anabolic steroids in treating muscle loss from chronic diseases and aging and highlights both the benefits and risks of these substances in sports.

In this study, researchers observed that DHEA-induced PCOS rats experienced significant changes in gut microbiota and metabolic profiles, particularly affecting steroid and lipid metabolism, suggesting the gut-ovary axis may play a role in the pathogenesis of PCOS.

This review discusses the influence of androgens on hair and sebaceous growth, emphasizing that response may depend more on peripheral sensitivity than on hormone levels; it reports no new empirical results.

This article reviews recent advances in the synthesis of oxasteroids and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that finasteride significantly alters urinary steroid profiles, complicating the detection of steroid abuse in doping-control analysis by potentially causing false-negative results.

This study found that polymeric micelle nanocarriers delivered pharmacologically relevant amounts of spironolactone to the epidermis and upper dermis, with higher delivery to pilosebaceous units, suggesting potential for treating glucocorticoid-induced impaired wound healing and pilosebaceous androgen-related skin diseases.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's sexual health and highlights the need for further research on androgen replacement therapy to optimize quality of life, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses hormones that affect acne and highlights a statistically significant link between a low-glycemic-load diet and reduced acne activity, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study concludes that high skin 5α-reductase activity may contribute to hirsutism, but the specific regulatory mechanisms and genetic factors remain unclear.

In this study, TASP0382088 showed potent selective inhibition of the ALK5 receptor, significantly reducing Smad2 phosphorylation in mouse skin following topical application.

Caspase-7 has functions in skin and hair that are not related to cell death.

In this study, daily treatment with angiotensin (1-7) significantly reduced disease severity in a mouse model of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, suggesting potential for Mas agonists in future therapies.

This chapter reviews the use of liposomes and cyclodextrins to improve the delivery and effectiveness of the peptide angiotensin-(1-7) in various therapeutic applications and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that biallelic mutations in the TTC7A gene affect lymphocyte and gut epithelial cell function, thereby contributing to the development of inflammatory bowel disease in patients.

This study found that extracts from Stauntonia hexaphylla leaves and fruits, particularly those with a higher leaf-to-fruit ratio, significantly enhanced osteogenic activity and inhibited osteoclast-related gene expression in vitro, suggesting potential for osteoporosis prevention.

In this research, authors found that skin-resident ILCs regulate sebaceous gland function and microbial balance, emphasizing an immune-epithelia system that supports host-microbe symbiosis.

In this study, Polygonum multiflorum Radix promoted hair growth in mice, with oral administration being more effective, likely through FGF-7, while topical application favored SHH-related mechanisms.

This study found that Enz_MoriL, a compound derived from Morus alba L., promotes hair follicle cell proliferation by affecting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and can counteract an alopecia areata-like condition by suppressing the JAK-STAT signaling in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells.

In this case study, a 7-year-old boy with Down syndrome and alopecia areata experienced notable hair regrowth, improved gut function, and emotional stability with individualized homeopathic treatment, whereas prior allopathic approaches were ineffective.

Minoxidil reacts to nitrosation 7 times more than phenol, mainly due to its -NH₂ groups, leading to the creation of N-nitrosominoxidil.

This study found that adding 7% Ecklonia cava extract to oxidative hair dyes significantly reduced their cytotoxicity and oxidative stress without affecting color performance.

This study screened synthesized pyridinecarboxamides for antitumor properties and found that many, particularly 5c and 7a, showed moderate in vitro activity against various human tumor cell lines.

This study reported that almost 25% of women with PCOS were diagnosed with NAFLD, and 32.7% to 44.6% had metabolic syndrome, with higher prevalence in those with both conditions.

This study focused on developing agarose/fucoidan hydrogels for the encapsulation of pancreatic cells, reporting that these materials supported cell viability and self-organization into pseudo-islets over 7 days, highlighting potential for diabetes treatment applications.

This study found that the stability of the coiled-coil structure in human hair keratin is maintained by ion-pairing and hydrophobic interactions, which are disrupted as pH approaches 7.0.

This study described a potentiometric titration method for determining minoxidil, which showed recoveries of 97.4 to 98.7% and agreed with chromatographic results within a 90% confidence level.

This study found that a silicone gel dressing was well-tolerated and may accelerate early wound healing compared to Bacitracin in patients undergoing follicular unit extraction, but both achieved similar outcomes by day 7.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties of polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid) nanovesicles coated with modified chitosans, finding that they can effectively control surface charge and potentially serve as drug delivery carriers with a 50.7% encapsulation efficiency for minoxidil.

In this randomized controlled trial, both Botulinum Toxin-A and Triamcinolone Acetonide showed substantial effectiveness in treating patchy Alopecia Areata, but Botulinum Toxin-A avoided complications while Triamcinolone led to skin atrophy in 16.7% of patients.
