This article discusses the role of sex hormones in COVID-19 fatality differences between sexes and reports no new clinical results, suggesting that future strategies should consider sex-specific approaches.

This study in Italy observed telogen effluvium and trichodynia as common hair-related complications following COVID-19 infection, raising questions about underlying hair follicle biology and potential receptor involvement.

This study reviews the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may impact male fertility, noting potential disruptions in spermatogenesis and hormone secretion, and underscores the need for follow-up in recovered men.

This study suggests that Cepharanthine, a monomer in traditional Chinese medicine, may help treat COVID-19 by affecting multiple signaling pathways, and that TNF and IL-17 inhibitors used in rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gouty arthritis might also be beneficial.

This study explores how SARS-CoV-2 interacts with endocrine organs and highlights specific endocrine molecules that help explain the progression and outcomes of COVID-19, especially in patients with certain metabolic conditions.

In this study, extracts from Chenopodium quinoa, Glycine max, and Malpighia emarginata demonstrated stability, low toxicity, and effective cleaning potential as surfactants in shampoo formulations, showing performance similar to or better than commercial shampoos in terms of surface and interfacial tension and sebum removal.

This study in mutant mice found that Bmpr2 and Acvr2a are individually redundant, but together essential for normal hair follicle development, with their reduction causing rapid hair cycling and graying.

This review discusses the molecular differences between male and female responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection and highlights the lack of specific guidelines for altering sex-specific COVID-19 prognoses.

This review discusses the roles of steroid hormone receptors in lung function related to COVID-19 and outlines ongoing clinical trials of steroid receptor ligands, but reports no new results.

This review discusses how COVID-19 may affect gonadal function and potential gender differences, but reports no clinical results; it highlights possible mechanisms and new treatment approaches from recent literature.

This review discusses gene polymorphisms in COVID-19 patients but reports no new clinical findings.

This review highlights recent insights into using antiandrogens as preventive and therapeutic measures against COVID-19, emphasizing their role in blocking viral infection by modulating androgen-mediated host protease TMPRSS2 and cell entry protein ACE2, with varying success in clinical trials.

This study suggests that women with polycystic ovary syndrome may have an increased risk of COVID-19-related cardiac and renal complications, and that weight loss through lifestyle changes could help reduce these risks.

This research discusses androgenic alopecia's potential role in severe COVID-19 symptomatology and suggests further exploration of the scalp's role in virus transmission.

This analysis discusses the role of genetic factors, particularly male hormones and specific gene variants, in influencing sex differences and potential susceptibility to severe COVID-19 outcomes, but notes that conclusive evidence is lacking, highlighting the need for larger studies.

This study demonstrated that the antiandrogen drug enzalutamide may reduce TMPRSS2 levels in human lung cells and mouse lungs, supporting its potential as a COVID-19 treatment option.

This review discusses possible mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 transmission through the skin and sweat and reports no new clinical results, calling for further research on this potential route of infection.

This review discusses the relationship between hyperandrogenic conditions like PCOS and COVID-19, noting that while hyperandrogenic women have varied hospitalization rates, they do not show increased mortality, and suggests isotretinoin as a potential therapeutic option for cutaneous symptoms.

This study found that the antiandrogens enzalutamide and bicalutamide reduced SARS-CoV-2 entry and infection in human lung cells by lowering TMPRSS2 levels, suggesting their potential as COVID-19 treatments and supporting clinical trials.

In this study, researchers linked SARS-CoV-2 infection to telogen effluvium in some COVID-19 patients by observing the accumulation of viral proteins in hair follicle cells, which may trigger stress responses and cell death, suggesting hair follicles as a potential target in COVID-19.

This review explores the potential impact of SARS-CoV-2 on benign prostatic hyperplasia and related lower urinary tract symptoms but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need for further studies to quantify these changes.

This study found that BCG injection in COVID-19 convalescent adults reduced long COVID symptoms like hearing and cognitive issues but also led to increased hair loss in women at six months.

In this study of Zhexi Angora rabbits, researchers found that the fine-wool group exhibited lower fiber diameters and a higher hair follicle density than the coarse-wool group, and they identified key candidate genes potentially regulating wool quality through RNA-seq and genome resequencing techniques.

This review discusses recent research on how sex hormones influence COVID-19 progression by affecting viral receptors, immune responses, and disease complications, and explores potential therapeutic uses based on clinical and assay studies.

This review discusses the potential impact of COVID-19 on the male reproductive system and highlights unanswered questions regarding its mechanisms and implications for men's health and fertility, reporting no new clinical results.

This review summarizes the latest updates on using antiandrogens as potential prophylactic and therapeutic options for COVID-19, highlighting that androgen-mediated regulation of factors like TMPRSS2 and ACE2 is involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting a strategy to block viral entry into cells.

This review discusses the biochemical and psychological impacts of polycystic ovary syndrome on immune functions against COVID-19 but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that L-(+)-Tartaric Acid may support hair growth by up-regulating certain genes in human Dermal Papilla cells, making it a potentially useful additive in minoxidil formulations.

This review examines host factors like ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in SARS-CoV-2 infection, exploring how genetic variants and advanced cellular analyses might clarify COVID-19's severity and heterogeneity; it reports no new results.

This study observed that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) increased cell viability in SARS-CoV-2-uninfected HEK293/ACE2 cells but did not improve viability in infected cells, suggesting mixed effects.
