This review discusses the role of glucocorticoids in treating severe inflammatory disorders and highlights their potential adverse effects, recommending dosage management to minimize these risks; no new clinical results are reported.

This review highlights the significant risks posed by mercury to the endocrine system, including disruptions in hormone synthesis and regulation, stress response, and potential reproductive dysfunction, while noting the need for further research on dose-response relationships and long-term impacts.

This study used in silico analysis to identify 4-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethylcarbamoyl]benzenesulfonyl as a potential inhibitor of the EGFR mutant associated with NSCLC, highlighting the need for further in vitro and in vivo validation.

This article reviews genetic and phenotypic aspects of androgen insensitivity syndromes, emphasizing the diversity of mutations that complicates molecular screening and the importance of genotype-phenotype correlations.

This study observed that outer and inner root sheaths of human hair follicles are predominantly characterized by different glycoconjugates, suggesting a relationship between specific lectin labeling and follicle differentiation.

This review discusses sex differences in the neuroendocrine response to stress, focusing primarily on rodent studies, and highlights open questions about the roles of gonadal hormones and sex chromosomes.

This study observes the expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5α‐reductase, and 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells.

This article reviews the unique health issues and preventive care recommendations for LGBT individuals, emphasizing dermatologic considerations and the importance of culturally competent care, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study concludes that high skin 5α-reductase activity may contribute to hirsutism, but the specific regulatory mechanisms and genetic factors remain unclear.

This study found that human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells promoted hair growth by advancing anagen onset and increasing hair follicle regeneration in an in vivo model.

This review explains the mechanical composition and molecular interactions that determine hair's mechanical properties, without providing any new experimental findings.

In this study, serum PSA levels were higher in women with PCOS, suggesting it may serve as a marker for hyperandrogenism in this condition.

This study found that combining oral testosterone with dutasteride increased testosterone bioavailability in hypogonadal men while suppressing dihydrotestosterone levels over a 28-day period.

This study found that treatment with cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol in hirsute women reduced testosterone and androstenedione levels, decreased hair growth, and increased cortisol levels without changing catecholamine excretion.

In this study, researchers reported that both progestin-only injectable contraceptives, DMPA-IM and NET-EN, significantly decreased serum testosterone and SHBG levels among HIV-negative women in South Africa, yet this did not explain prior findings of no reduction in risky sexual behavior or sexual function.

This study found that inhibiting arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12) may enhance hair cuticle maturation by increasing S100A3 protein citrullination and promoting cuticular differentiation in isolated human hair follicles.

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.

This study found that benzodiazepine therapy in women with idiopathic hirsutism significantly increased sex hormone binding globulin and decreased dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, but did not significantly affect hair growth.

This study found no significant differences in hormone levels between postmenopausal women with androgenetic alopecia and healthy controls, suggesting potential alternative causes for the condition.

In this study, researchers found that the efflux of calcium in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, particularly through the ER-localized ACA2 and ACA7, is crucial for modulating cytoplasmic calcium signals and enabling proper root hair growth, with disruptions leading to impaired elongation.

This study identified key genes and pathways involved in the growth and development of forest musk deer hair follicles, providing insights into molecular regulation and laying groundwork for future research on related diseases.

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 the loss of Smad4 in keratinocytes reduces Dsg4 expression via disrupted BMP signaling, contributing to hair follicle degeneration and alopecia.

This study found that a novel missense mutation in the vitamin D receptor caused hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets with alopecia by disrupting protein function, highlighting the importance of DNA binding in hair development.

A genetic mutation caused severe rickets and alopecia in an Indian patient, but high-dose calcium and phosphate treatment improved their condition.

PTH-CBD helps reduce hair loss in mice by stimulating hair growth directly.

This study suggests that while PTH rP initially seemed to shorten the hair cycle by transitioning hair follicles from anagen to catagen, more relevant models indicate it ultimately accelerates and stimulates hair growth.

This study found that hair from ovarian teratomas shares similar chemical composition and morphology with scalp hair, but differs in physical properties and cysteic acid bands.

In this case report, the authors describe a partial androgen insensitivity syndrome patient with a novel AR gene mutation, highlighting challenges in gender assignment decisions for infants with partial AIS.

This review discusses the integration of nanoparticles with microneedles to improve drug delivery through enhanced stability, bioavailability, and controlled release, noting ongoing challenges with stability, scalability, and safety.
