This review discusses the multiple layers of environmental controls on hair stem cell homeostasis and suggests that targeting these layers could offer safer regenerative medicine therapies without directly using stem cells.

This study suggests that epitestosterone may play a role in regulating androgen-dependent processes like prostate growth and body hair distribution by counteracting testosterone's actions.

This review discusses the use of antimüllerian hormone as a marker of ovarian reserve in infertility diagnosis and treatment, noting it reflects oocyte quantity but not health or pregnancy likelihood.

This study found that hirsutism and acanthosis nigricans are the most reliable skin markers for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome in women and suggest a need for further evaluation of possible metabolic issues.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have a higher risk for obstructive sleep apnea, primarily due to the prevalence of severe obesity, rather than the syndrome itself.

This article describes two cases where essential alopecia was the initial sign of syphilitic infection, examining the clinical and histopathologic features observed.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher ghrelin levels compared to controls, with ghrelin negatively correlating with BMI and insulin levels, suggesting its potential role in PCOS etiology.

This case series found that oral tofacitinib treatment in eight adolescents with alopecia universalis led to significant regrowth of hair, though relapse is likely after stopping therapy.

This study found that the hHa7 gene in hair follicle trichocytes is the first identified to have its expression directly regulated by androgens, suggesting it as a marker for androgen action on hair follicles.

This study found that, among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance was significantly associated with an increased risk of depression, even after accounting for factors like BMI.

In this study, women with PCOS had a higher prevalence of hepatic steatosis compared to controls, with associated metabolic issues like insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

This review examines acneiform eruptions, often drug-induced, highlighting that they differ from acne vulgaris in causes and characteristics, with no new clinical results reported.

In this study, researchers developed a method to measure steroid hormones in hair and found that body hair typically contains higher levels of cortisone and testosterone compared to scalp hair, but hair pigmentation did not affect hormone concentrations significantly.

This study found that insulin resistance was significantly associated with PCOS among infertile women with central obesity, highlighting differences in insulin and phenotype severity.

This review explores the novel roles of white adipose tissue in tissue homeostasis and regeneration, emphasizing its impact on epithelial, muscle, and immune tissues, and reports no new clinical results.

This abstract omits specific findings and does not provide new research results.

This article proposes criteria to differentiate between medicalization and over-medicalization, examining the consequences and ethical considerations of misidentifying medical issues, and suggests guideline questions to help draw clearer boundaries in medicine.

This review discusses the unique dermatologic needs of transgender individuals during transitioning and emphasizes the importance of accommodating care in medical settings; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the Cutaneous Lupus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) is correlated with both physician-assessed and patient-reported outcomes in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, particularly highlighting concerns about body image in visible areas.

This study found that serum vaspin levels were elevated in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to controls, but treatment with metformin or weight loss did not significantly change these levels.

This study reported that Turkish males with male pattern androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower zinc and copper levels in their hair compared to healthy controls, suggesting these imbalances may play a role in the condition's etiology.

This study found that environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise, and testosterone levels may significantly influence various forms of hair loss in male identical twins.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have significantly higher scores for affective temperaments and anxiety and depression than healthy controls, suggesting risk for depressive and anxiety disorders.

This article reviews the skin effects of anabolic-androgenic steroid use in athletes but reports no clinical results.

This study reported that female pattern hair loss was prevalent in 11.8% of women aged 30 and older and was associated with high fasting glucose, fewer childbirths, oral contraceptive use, and excessive ultraviolet exposure.

This article states that hormone therapy with estrogens and antiandrogens for transgender females is within an obstetrician-gynecologist's practice scope and involves careful dosing and monitoring to manage short-term thrombotic risks.

The study found that among young Brazilian women, the likelihood of metabolic syndrome in those with PCOS is strongly associated with BMI and the phenotype involving menstrual irregularity and hyperandrogenism.

This review discusses recent surgical and medical advancements in hair restoration techniques but reports no new clinical results.

This review found limited evidence on the effectiveness of different antiandrogens for feminization in transgender women, suggesting cyproterone acetate, leuprolide, and medroxyprogesterone acetate may better suppress testosterone than spironolactone or estradiol alone.

This study found no significant differences in metabolic characteristics between different phenotypes of PCOS or between women with PCOS and healthy controls among reproductive-aged Iranian women.
