This study found that VDR knockout mice exhibited muscle and motor impairments affecting locomotor behavior, while cognitive functions such as exploration, working memory, and anxiety appeared unaffected.

This review discusses the role of corticotropin-releasing hormone in human skin, focusing on its regulation, receptors, and functions, and highlights parallels with the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis; it reports no new research findings.

This essay discusses the establishment, maintenance, and role of skin stem cells in tissue homeostasis, wound repair, and their relation to skin cancer, without reporting new experimental findings.

This study found that midazolam, unlike clonazepam, increased neurosteroid levels and affected synaptic inhibition and plasticity in rat hippocampal neurons, suggesting unique actions via dual receptor activation.

In this study, co-grafting human keratinocytes with murine dermal papilla-enriched cells produced hair follicle-like structures, but without regular hair formation, suggesting anomalous folliculogenesis.

This review discusses the complex relationship between stress and various skin conditions, highlighting the role of the skin in the stress response and the brain-skin communication pathways, but reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the role of the mineralocorticoid receptor in skin biology, highlighting its potential involvement in keratinocyte and hair physiology, and proposes it may affect the side effects of glucocorticoid use.

This review discusses the role of the immune niche in hair follicle regeneration and its impact on different forms of alopecia, highlighting research gaps and potential therapeutic strategies.

In this study, women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher lipocalin-2 levels compared to controls, suggesting it may be a useful marker for insulin resistance in this population.

This study reviewed the current state of intralesional therapy for keratoacanthoma, finding that while methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and interferon alpha are common agents, guidelines are still needed, and histopathological confirmation is advised to prevent misdiagnosis with squamous cell carcinoma.

This review discusses the broader roles of angiogenic factors, like VEGFs and FGFs, beyond angiogenesis, highlighting their involvement in various biological and pathological processes.

This review discusses the role of steroid sulfatase in steroid hormone metabolism and highlights the need for more research on its expression and regulation, especially regarding hormone-dependent tumors.

This review discusses the role of anti-Müllerian hormone in polycystic ovary syndrome and its male equivalent, but reports no new clinical findings; it suggests further investigation is needed into male relatives' reproductive function.

This review discusses how vitamin D and calcium signaling are essential for wound healing by activating epidermal and hair follicle stem cells, noting that deficiencies may lead to delayed or chronic wounds.

In this study, OCT showed strong nuclear binding in certain skin cells, suggesting similar genomic effects to vitamin D with potential therapeutic benefits due to its lower calcaemic effect.

This article reviews current knowledge and research gaps on growth hormone in hair follicle biology, highlighting its complex role and suggesting further exploration to reveal nonclassical skin functions.

This study discusses how redox imbalance, specifically through reduced Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 mediated by the transcription factor JunB and sphingolipid metabolism changes, contributes to skin aging by depleting stem cell pools and altering the extracellular matrix, ultimately impacting skin integrity and function.

In this review, the potential role of the hormone prolactin in skin biology and its implications for treating skin diseases and hair disorders are explored, with a focus on its stress-related impacts and possible immunomodulatory function in the context of COVID-19.

This study demonstrated that genetically engineered, ATP-responsive nanozymes effectively reduce cardiac fibrosis by targeting activated cardiac fibroblasts, resulting in decreased myofibroblast accumulation and improved cardiac function, suggesting that this approach has significant potential for therapeutic applications.

This chapter discusses the role of hormones in regulating reproductive biology and outlines how the endocrine system, particularly the brain and pituitary gland, controls these hormonal processes.

In this study, researchers found that disrupting desmoglein 3 signaling in a mouse model of pemphigus vulgaris activates normally quiescent hair follicle stem cells, compromising their multipotency but prompting a regenerative response that restores stem cell function and structures.

This review explored recent research on the immune mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for alopecia areata, highlighting the roles of immune-related cells, autocrine and paracrine signaling, as well as factors like adipose-derived stem cells and gut microbiota in disease pathogenesis.

In this study, researchers developed and tested a novel peptide, AMHR2BP, which mimics the function of Anti-Müllerian hormone to protect ovarian follicles in mice, showing promise for preserving ovarian health during chemotherapy without causing toxicity.

This study observed that while low vitamin D levels are associated with increased risk of autoimmune thyroid diseases, evidence from clinical trials on vitamin D supplementation shows inconsistent effects on thyroid function and disease progression, underscoring the need for further research.

This review discusses the crucial role of sex hormones in maintaining and influencing skin health, suggesting ongoing research into hormonal treatments for skin conditions due to life stage changes.

This source describes Sweden's approach to achieving an ideal work-life balance for medical professionals, emphasizing a no-fault system, supportive mentorship, teamwork, high assertiveness, social trust, and good compensation, with specialists working 80% of the time and having over six weeks of annual leave.

The document concludes that scalp health is influenced by complex factors affecting sebaceous glands, including hormones, aging, and various substances.

Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.

This summary discusses the role of endocrinology and nutrition in skin health, highlighting the importance of a balanced approach to UV exposure, nutrition, and potential benefits of probiotics without reporting new research findings.

This study found that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin bioregulation, expressing receptors that are regulated in a hair cycle-dependent manner, influencing keratinocyte apoptosis.
