This review discusses the influence of androgens on hair and sebaceous growth, emphasizing that response may depend more on peripheral sensitivity than on hormone levels; it reports no new empirical results.

This study reports that once neoplastic causes are excluded, functional hirsutism can be effectively treated with low-dose dexamethasone, oral contraceptives, and spironolactone.

This study found that women with female pattern androgenic alopecia have significantly higher levels of certain androgens and androgen sulfates compared to normal premenopausal women, suggesting markers for diagnosis and treatment efficacy.

This study found that the acyl-CoA binding protein is essential for the production of very long chain free fatty acids in the stratum corneum and maintaining normal epidermal barrier function in mice.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study highlights that lower testosterone in men and higher testosterone in women are linked to increased risks of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, with associated skin diseases indicating potential cardiovascular complications.

This study found that in women with PCOS, suppressive therapy using spironolactone plus oral contraceptives improved hirsutism more effectively than either treatment alone, with initial scores predicting success.

This study found that intrauterine administration of botulinum toxin A improved endometrial environment and receptivity in a murine model of thin endometrium through mechanisms involving IGFBP3 and osteopontin.

The study concluded that serum AMH is a useful tool for diagnosing polycystic ovarian morphology in women with persistent acne, potentially replacing transvaginal ultrasound, though it does not correlate with hyperandrogenemia.

This study found that overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome carrying the HSD3B1 1245C allele had an increased presence of female pattern hair loss compared to those with the wild-type genotype.

This study found that male pattern baldness may serve as a clinical marker for circulating sex hormone levels in men with localized prostate cancer, while chest hair density showed no significant hormone association.

This study found that feeding mice a high-fat diet with fish oil leads to hair loss through a mechanism involving omega-3 fatty acids and TNF-α signaling, with epidermal fatty acid binding protein playing a key role.

This study developed a composite hydrogel that delivered multiple proteins, enhancing skin wound healing by accelerating closure and promoting hair follicle regeneration.

This perspective discusses Villani et al.'s findings on the role of the IGF regulatory protein Igfbp2 in basal cell carcinogenesis and highlights potential therapeutic and preventive targets, while raising questions about the cell of origin.

This study suggests that 5-ADIOL-S may contribute to the synthesis of potent androgens in peripheral tissues, and 3 alpha-DIOL-S could be a marker of androgen metabolism in various female patient groups.

In this study, elevated prolactin and DHEA-S levels along with reduced SBP were observed in fertile non-obese women with moderate body hair compared to controls, and ethynylestradiol plus desogestrel or cyproterone acetate treatment improved clinical outcomes by increasing SBP.

This study found that 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane penetrates hair fibers and improves the mechanical resistance of dry hair, addressing the needs for increased body in fine hair.

This study found that sex hormone-binding globulin promotes facial aging, while sex steroid hormones such as testosterone and estradiol inhibit it, with growth hormone levels showing no significant effect.

This article provides guidelines and indices for a three-point cantilever bending test to measure mechanical properties of hair treated with both conventional and naturally-derived styling polymers, reporting no new experimental results.

This investigation found that certain supplements, particularly whey protein isolate, growth hormones, and anabolic steroids, can negatively impact hair loss by affecting biochemical pathways.

This study found that plasma protein binding significantly contributes to the shifts in glucocorticosteroid concentration ratios among blood, saliva, and hair, challenging prior assumptions about enzyme inactivation as the main factor.

This study observed that Greek Caucasian women with PCOS had distinct serum hormone levels and a specific AKT2 gene SNP, which may play a role in the condition's characteristics.

This study observed that the size of vaginal prolapse in patients was significantly related to both the preoperative vaginal length and the length of vaginal excision during the Michigan four-wall sacrospinous suspension procedure.

In this study, withdrawal from progesterone and treatment with finasteride were associated with increased signs of depression-like behavior in female mice, suggesting decreased allopregnanolone levels may play a role.

The study observed that testosterone reduced knee range of motion in ovariectomized female rats, potentially by downregulating specific relaxin receptor isoforms, with its effects mediated via dihydro-testosterone.

This study identified a recurrent mutation in the endothelin receptor type A associated with mandibulofacial dysostosis with alopecia, and proposed a mechanism involving increased ligand affinity due to structural changes.

This study evaluated the anti-alopecia activity of compounds from Merremia peltata leaf in rabbits and found that scopolin has a promising effect on hair growth and androgen receptor affinity, potentially offering a new treatment option for alopecia.

In this study, researchers analyzed miRNA and gene expression in the hair follicles of FMD during different hair cycle stages, identifying differential expression patterns and key pathways involved in hair follicle development and growth.

This study observed that in cases of moderately severe male-pattern hirsutism, elevated free plasma androgen levels occur in 85% of patients, suggesting a subtle hyperandrogenic state as a common underlying factor.

The book was the first to focus on the biophysical properties of hair.
