This review discusses how neurosteroids acting on GABAA receptors may influence behavior and explores the potential for developing selective modulators for treating psychiatric disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that storing hair follicle grafts in chilled ATPv-supplemented saline was most effective for preserving trichogenic gene expression, compared to other storage solutions and temperatures.

This study found that patients with systemic lupus erythematosus reported improvements in symptoms such as fatigue and joint pain after Anifrolumab treatment, with a corresponding decrease in corticosteroid use, although some disease impacts on daily life remained.

This study identified the presence of the enzyme 1 alpha-hydroxylase in various extrarenal tissues, suggesting its potential role in modulating vitamin D function in peripheral tissues.

This study found that distinct isoenzymes of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase are expressed in human adrenals and gonads compared to the placenta and skin.

In this study, researchers found that a specific genetic variant in the INSR gene is linked to severe insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia in type A insulin resistance syndrome, suggesting the benefit of exon sequencing for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This study presents the first report on cloning and characterizing the full-length cDNA of SRD5A1 in Indian catfish (Clarias magur), revealing expression differences across reproductive phases and increased expression post-Ovatide administration in ovaries and testis.

This study identified a novel human type I hair keratin, hHa3-II, as an isoform of a previously described hHa3 keratin, with distinct sequence differences indicating separate gene encoding.

This study details the isolation and characterization of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene, which may play a role in male pseudohermaphroditism, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that the ARL15 gene affects adipocyte differentiation and adiponectin secretion, and suggests that ARL15 haploinsufficiency may predispose individuals to lipodystrophy.

This study demonstrated that both HR isoforms are expressed in keratinocytes, but HRDelta1072-1126 lacks corepressor activity and may act as a coactivator by inhibiting HDAC recruitment to the VDR transcriptional complex.

This study identified novel isoforms of the PADI2 and PADI3 proteins, showing that PADI2β inhibits oligodendrocyte differentiation, possibly by opposing the effect of canonical PADI2, while PADI3β modulates the activity of PADI3α, suggesting new regulatory mechanisms of citrullination in tissue development.

This study identified a new FAK isoform, FAKΔe4, which is regulated by ECM stiffness and affects cell migration, invasion, and mechanosensing in human-derived data and engineered models.

This article discusses the structure of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that the hHa1-t protein variant, caused by a genetic polymorphism in the hHa1 gene, forms functional keratin filaments despite lacking a complete nonhelical tail domain, explaining the absence of a pathological hair phenotype.

This study identified a mutation in the steroid-binding domain of the androgen receptor gene associated with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, impairing male sexual development due to altered androgen receptor protein function.

This study found that AtT-20 pituitary cells with higher cAMP-dependent kinase activity had larger calcium currents and significantly increased beta-endorphin release compared to cells with lower kinase activity.

This review discusses the acyl-CoA synthetase very-long-chain (ACSVL) enzyme family, including its biochemical characteristics, tissue expression, and involvement in lipid metabolism, but presents no new experimental results.

This study identified a novel I268T mutation in the vitamin D receptor that reduces its function, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, and found that a potent vitamin D analog could improve receptor function.

This study found that increased intracellular expression of thymosin β4 is necessary and sufficient to induce PAI-1 gene expression in endothelial cells, potentially mediated through Ku80 as a novel receptor.

This study found that anabolic steroid use combined with plakoglobin deficiency caused pathological atrial electrical remodeling in young male mice, suggesting a higher risk of atrial myopathy for males with desmosomal gene variants.

This study found that the L457(3.43)R mutation in the human luteinizing hormone receptor increases phosphodiesterase activity, reducing hormonal response despite elevated basal cAMP levels.

This study provided the first X-ray crystal structure of the mammalian steroid hormone reductase AKR1D1 and identified a disease-related mutant, P133R, which may impact bile acid metabolism and cause clinical symptoms.

This study found that 17β-estradiol was the most powerful hormone for inducing APE1/Ref-1 secretion in cultured vascular endothelial cells, with secretion occurring through exosomes dependent on estrogen receptors and intracellular calcium.

This study found that among COVID-19 patients, a higher presence of the G allele in the IFITM3 rs12252 polymorphism correlates with increased inflammatory markers and disease severity, noting higher ESR, CRP, Fibrinogen, LDH, and D-dimer levels in severe cases compared to mild ones.

This study found that Atlantic croaker nuclear androgen receptors AR1 and AR2 have different binding affinities for androgens, suggesting that they may mediate distinct physiological actions in teleosts.

This study identified four novel and one recurrent mutation in the AIRE gene among Arab families with APS1, suggesting these contribute to the disorder.

This study examined uncharacterized CYP21A2 gene variants related to non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and found that several mutations reduce enzyme activity, which may help improve diagnostic and treatment strategies.
