This study located a potential genetic link for androgenetic alopecia on chromosome 3q26, marking an early step in identifying new susceptibility genes for male pattern baldness.

This review highlights the need for tailored hormonal treatment strategies for non-binary transgender individuals, emphasizing personalized care to enhance psychological well-being and quality of life.

This review discusses post-SSRI sexual dysfunction and post-finasteride syndrome, highlighting unknowns about their true incidence and underlying causes, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found no significant difference in the CAG and GGN repeat lengths between infertile and fertile men in Nigeria, but identified a unique GGN allele distribution in the Nigerian population compared to Caucasians.

This study reports that Ca 2+ binding alters the dynamics and surface properties of PKD-like domains in Clostridium histolyticum collagenases, enhancing their stability and potentially aiding in collagen-targeting vehicle development.

This study found that androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer patients was associated with fewer SARS-CoV-2 infections but did not reduce COVID-19 disease severity or hospitalizations.

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 highlights the challenges in screening for steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and discusses significant variability in the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride, calling for standardized testing methods to develop safer, more specific inhibitors from herbal preparations.

This study found that Hedgehog signaling likely contributes to cervical carcinogenesis, and while itraconazole reduced growth in mice, it did so through pathways other than inhibiting Hedgehog signaling.

This case report suggests that spironolactone may induce prostate cancer proliferation in patients on abiraterone acetate, advising against its use for managing treatment-associated side effects in these individuals.

This case report describes a rare instance of a patient with anorexia nervosa who was subsequently diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome, highlighting diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms.

This chapter discusses stem cell activity in feather and hair follicles, emphasizing how stem cells maintain their population by cycling between quiescence and activation in specialized niches but reports no new results.

In this review, the authors discuss various skin conditions linked to hyperandrogenism, such as acne and alopecia, with a focus on androgen-targeted therapies, suggesting these are generally more effective than non-androgen-targeted options.

This study highlighted the promising health benefits of taxifolin, a flavonoid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other protective effects found in foods like onions and milk thistle, though more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and safety for human therapeutic use.

This review synthesizes recent research to propose a precision framework for treating androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata based on genetic insights and pathway biology, highlighting the roles of androgen-receptor signaling, immune dysregulation, and emerging therapies like regenerative medicine and AI-assisted diagnostics.

In this study, researchers found that the synthetic stress hormone dexamethasone caused opposite effects on hair growth-related proteins, reducing SFRP2 and increasing SFRP3, which respectively stimulate and inhibit hair follicle cell proliferation in human dermal papilla cells.

This review discusses the current advancements in diagnosing and treating polycystic ovary syndrome with both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and it reports no new results.

In this study, nonobese normotensive women with PCOS had higher left ventricular mass index compared to healthy controls, which was linked to inflammation and insulin resistance rather than androgen excess.

This chapter reviews various in vitro and laboratory animal models for studying potential therapies for alopecia and reports no new results.

This review examines the roles and benefits of chitosan in cosmetics and oral hygiene, highlighting its potential in the cosmeceutical market, but it reports no new results.

This review discusses the use of 36 medicinal plant species for cutaneous wound healing and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the potential for these traditional practices to inform modern therapies.

This study found that the transcription factor FOXO1 plays a crucial role in wound healing by protecting keratinocytes from oxidative stress and regulating TGF-β expression.

This review discusses mammalian models of epimorphic regeneration to define a vertebrate regeneration blastema, concluding that regenerative failure likely stems from cellular responses to the microenvironment after injury, not progenitor cell availability, and calls for targeted modification studies in mammals to advance human regeneration.

This review discusses the emerging "endocrine phenotype" of COVID-19, highlighting the implications for managing diabetes, obesity, vitamin D deficiency, and other endocrine conditions in affected patients.

This study found that shift nurses exhibited lower circadian variations compared to daytime nurses, indicating an adjustment of their biological clocks to continuous shift schedules.

This article reviews skin disorders in Parkinson's disease, highlighting the potential of skin studies and stem cell research to advance understanding and treatment of the neurodegenerative disorder, without presenting new results.

In this study, researchers found that replacing natural aggregates with animal bones and human hair with increased microroughness may improve the mechanical strength and durability of concrete.

This review discusses the role of hair follicle bacterial colonization in immune responses and the pathogenesis of alopecia but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that while yak belly hair is chemically similar to human hair, its higher porosity and lower mechanical strength limit its usefulness as a substitute in hair dye development.

This chapter reviews hyperadrenocorticism in ferrets, covering its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, but reports no new research findings.
