This study found that stressed dermal fibroblasts significantly increased dopa oxidase activity in melanocytes from hair, skin, and eyes, suggesting the involvement of fibroblast-derived factors like basic Fibroblast Growth Factor.

This article reviews current evaluation and treatment options for androgenic alopecia in women and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that telocytes in human scalp tissue were located around hair follicles and glands and may be involved in skin regeneration and homeostasis.

This review discusses the early phases of melanomagenesis and the factors influencing melanoma cell variability and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that acne prevalence among adults in Greater Porto's primary healthcare centers was 61.5%, with only 25% of those with acne seeking treatment.

This article reports on a case where a 26-year-old woman with acromegaloidism was found to have X-tetrasomy, suggesting it should be considered in differential diagnoses due to its potential impact on growth-related genes.

This study found that men with androgenic alopecia had significantly higher levels of certain urinary steroid metabolites, suggesting increased 5 alpha-reductase activity and possible mild hyperadrenal activity.

This study found that patients with non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency do not appear to be at risk of short adult stature despite increased bone age in childhood.

This article reviews assessment and management strategies for adolescent females with excessive hair growth and highlights the importance of evaluating potential androgen sources.

In this study, CD34-positive progenitor cells in irradiated salivary glands were observed to potentially aid in blood vessel formation and remodeling, suggesting their role in tissue healing after radiotherapy.

This study found that a week of daily alcohol exposure during late adolescence led to a long-term increase in alcohol preference in adulthood, highlighting the sensitivity of this age group to alcohol's effects.

This study found that anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a valuable primary variable for classifying functional androgenization, especially in distinguishing ovarian-related groups, and supports the novel stratification system.

This review discusses treatment strategies for PCOS, focusing on using insulin-sensitizing medications alongside weight reduction and exercise to improve hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenism, and reports no new results.

This review discusses the causes and treatment strategies for hirsutism, emphasizing that combination therapy targeting androgen suppression and hair removal techniques is most effective; no new clinical results are reported.

This review discusses the main features of anti-androgen drugs, combined treatments, and insulin sensitizers in managing hirsutism and reports no new research findings.

Skin changes can indicate hormonal imbalances and help diagnose endocrine disorders.

In this study, 4-substituted N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as potential 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and antiandrogens.

The document explains that hirsutism, often caused by hormonal issues, can be managed with treatment to improve both physical appearance and mental health.

Environmental factors like temperature and nutrition affect hair growth, with humans showing seasonal hair growth differences.

The study observed that Friesian heifers experienced significant adaptation challenges to Kenya's equatorial conditions, taking around 18 months for their coat composition to resemble that of Dutch heifers in summer.

This study found that women with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NC-CAH) reported lower sexual function and higher sexual distress compared to those with classic CAH (C-CAH), particularly among those showing signs of androgen excess.

This study reports that melanocytes form a defined photoresponsive network in the skin that reads environmental light cycles and may influence the sleep-waking cycle similar to the pineal gland.

This review discusses dermatologic signs in childhood endocrine disorders and highlights their importance in early diagnosis and treatment, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews diagnostic and management strategies for polycystic ovary syndrome in primary care and reports no new clinical results; it also discusses when specialist referral is appropriate.

This review discusses the relationship between acne, body hair, and androgenic stimulation in adolescent girls, emphasizing treatment decisions based on disease severity rather than endocrine findings.

In this study, treatment with DHEA induced mild to moderate hyperplasia of sebaceous glands in ovariectomized rats, which was prevented by the antiandrogen Flutamide but not by the antiestrogen EM-800.

This article discusses the role of suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) and the hCG method in obesity management, highlighting the speculative benefits of hCG but reporting no new clinical findings.

This article reviews hirsutism, its causes, cultural perceptions, and symptoms, but provides no new clinical findings beyond existing descriptions and statistics on hair growth patterns in women.

In this review, researchers summarize the methods for characterizing telocytes, outline their physiological roles and implications in diseases, and discuss potential future studies including precise markers and targeted therapies.
