This study suggests that ethylene and lignoceric acid (C24:0) may promote cotton fiber and Arabidopsis root hair growth by activating the pectin biosynthesis network.

This review outlines the complexities of understanding DHT biosynthesis and metabolism in the human prostate and reports no new findings, emphasizing the need for further research into the pathways involved.

This study used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to simultaneously quantify androstenedione, dihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, androsterone, etiocholanolone, progesterone, and pregnenolone in human hair, detecting differences in steroid concentrations between male and female samples.

This review describes how recent discoveries in genetic defects and alternative pathways in androgen biosynthesis are reshaping our understanding of male sexual differentiation, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that both the central biosynthesis and metabolism of progesterone to 3α,5α‐THP in the ventral tegmental area are crucial for facilitating lordosis in female rats.

This study identified a fungal sulfotransferase enzyme, FgSULT1, from *Fusarium graminearum*, expanding the sulfotransferase superfamily and offering new biocatalytic methods for producing bioactive sulfates.

In this study, researchers found that impaired cholesterol biosynthesis in hair follicles may trigger an inflammatory immune response linked to primary cicatricial alopecia, providing new insights into the disorder's pathogenesis.

This study suggests that the neurosteroid allopregnanolone contributes to stress resistance in mice, and the ALLO mimetic drug alfaxalone may offer anxiolytic benefits without muscle-relaxant effects.

This study found that PES1CMU-defatted rice bran (DFRB) showed effective skin whitening and anti-aging properties comparable to standard treatments in cell models, suggesting its potential use in dermatocosmetics.

In this mouse study, hair growth defects associated with the Gk5 null allele were partially alleviated by simvastatin treatment, suggesting GK5 plays a key role in skin-specific cholesterol regulation.

This review discusses phenotypic differences in testosterone production between mice and humans with HSD17B3 deficiency and reports no new findings; the authors highlight potential pathways and enzymes involved in testosterone synthesis.

This study found that finasteride, which alters plant brassinosteroid metabolism, significantly reduced sporulation of the downy mildew pathogen in grapevines, unlike azole fungicide treatments.

This study found that GD-23, a dipeptide ligand of TSPO, exhibited an anxiolytic effect in the elevated plus maze test, which was inhibited by selective neurosteroid synthesis inhibitors, suggesting a neurosteroidogenic mechanism.

This study found that disrupted cholesterol homeostasis in scalp samples from cicatricial alopecia patients hinders hair regrowth by affecting hair follicle stem cell markers, with resulting effects confirmed in vitro and in animal models.

This study demonstrated that benzothiazepines, such as diltiazem and JTV-519, exert anxiolytic-like effects through allopregnanolone biosynthesis in mice, similar to carbamazepine.

This systematic review synthesizes evidence on the distribution of 5a-reductase isozymes and their implications for mental health, finding that inhibition of neurosteroidogenesis may contribute to anxiety, depression, and suicidality, with some patients experiencing persistent psychiatric effects from finasteride or dutasteride.

This study found that overexpressing the CLE peptide SlCLE10 in tomatoes increased root hair length and improved drought tolerance, suggesting its potential for enhancing crop resilience to osmotic stress.

This study found that disrupted cholesterol homeostasis impairs hair regrowth in individuals with primary cicatricial alopecia by damaging hair follicle stem cells, highlighting the importance of cholesterol in maintaining stem cell function and hair follicle integrity.

This study found that in primary cicatricial alopecia, reducing cholesterol production and targeting EMT modulators like PPARγ, AhR, AGTR, and TGFβ with siRNA may help mitigate hair follicle damage by modulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for slowing PCA progression.

This study found that TLR3 activation in human keratinocytes enhances exosome biosynthesis and expression of hair follicle stem cell markers, suggesting a potential mechanism for tissue regeneration.
