In this study, transgender adolescents treated with testosterone for a median of 12 months experienced effective virilization, including voice deepening and increased hair growth, but also showed decreased HDL cholesterol and BMD z-scores, and increased hematocrit, with no short-term safety issues reported.

This study found no significant differences in bone mineral density or predisposing factors across hair-loss stages in women with androgenetic alopecia, though early-onset cases may warrant investigation for premature bone loss.

This study found that, in male patients with patellar tendinopathy, bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell treatment improved tendon regeneration, organization, strength, and pain relief more effectively than leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma over 12 months.

This study identified that pediatric transplant recipients experience specific skin changes related to medication use, with unique conditions like ichthyosiform xerosis in kidney recipients and skin scaling with pellagroid appearance in bone marrow recipients.

This article presents an update on a family with Coats' plus disorder, documenting additional symptoms and two new similar cases, and reviews literature suggesting a link to dyskeratosis congenita for potential molecular insights.

This article describes the skin changes seen in acute and chronic graft-vs-host reactions after bone marrow transplantation, highlighting the potential for early recognition due to the visibility of these changes, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, transgenic male mice over-expressing the androgen receptor in mesenchymal stem cells showed reduced fat mass and improved glucose clearance, suggesting enhanced androgen sensitivity may alter body composition.

This study concluded that Wnt/β-catenin signaling, through Shh and Bmp pathways, is crucial for determining hair follicle fate in embryonic epidermal development.

This study found increased infiltration of specific immune cells, such as γδ T cells and CD8+ T cells, in the bald scalp of male androgenetic alopecia patients, and identified four key immune-related genes potentially involved in hair loss development through interferon-γ signaling pathways.

In this study, researchers found that changes in immune cell infiltration and immune-related gene expression may contribute to the immune microenvironment changes in male androgenetic alopecia.

Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.

This study found that the protein p63 requires morphogenetic signals to regulate gene expression effectively during skin cell differentiation, highlighting its complex role in therapeutic reprogramming for conditions like epidermolysis bullosa.

This review discusses the effectiveness and risks of acitretin in treating various skin conditions, highlighting its teratogenic potential and the necessary precautions for its use.

This review discusses guidelines for androgen use in women and concludes that more research is needed before recommending testosterone due to insufficient evidence on safety and efficacy.

This article reviews the generation of complex integument patterns through genetic, chemical, and environmental influences, with applications in tissue engineering, but reports no new experimental results.

This study reported that deleting the MED1 subunit from the MED complex in keratinocytes resulted in disrupted hair differentiation and cycling, leading to hair loss in mice.

This study suggests that gender-affirming testosterone therapy in transgender men is generally safe and effective with adequate screening and monitoring, although high-quality long-term studies are lacking.

This study reports that dynamic interactions between stem cells and their niche, influenced by macro-environmental factors, regulate regenerative behavior in integument pattern formation.

In this study, researchers observed that the skin quality and hair follicle development of Rex rabbits improved when slaughtered in winter compared to summer, with findings suggesting seasonal regulation via multiple signaling pathways affecting fur characteristics.

In this study, the novel ASAXA-μCT imaging method identified that the shrinkage of sweat glands with aging causes dermal defects, reducing skin elasticity and contributing to wrinkling and sagging.

This review covers skin manifestations in chronic kidney disease, highlighting their impact on quality of life, associated prognostic indicators, and available treatments, but provides no new clinical results.

This research highlights the common and varied skin-related symptoms associated with chronic kidney disease, emphasizing that early recognition and multi-pronged management involving nephrology and dermatology can improve patient outcomes.

This article discusses the side effects of androgen deprivation therapy for nonmetastatic prostate cancer, highlighting the need for clinical trials to systematically study these effects.

This study suggests that radiation-induced changes in FGF18 gene expression in the skin may predict later reductions in bone mass, as observed in irradiated mice.

This study found that serum bone metabolic markers with mild changes are interdependently related to traditional Chinese medicine syndromes in patients with chronic kidney disease-related bone disorders.

This review discusses the role of oestrogens in stimulating linear bone growth and pubertal changes in both boys and girls, highlighting their influence on the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor axis; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing the BMP antagonist noggin showed increased hair follicle size and altered hair type, linked to changes in cell proliferation and gene expression.

In this study, female-to-male transsexuals treated with long-acting testosterone undecanoate experienced an increase in lean mass but no change in fat mass or bone mineral density over 24 months.

In this study, researchers observed that graded calorie restriction in mice led to changes in stable isotope ratios and elemental content in bone collagen and hair keratin, potentially indicating intensified mobilization of endogenous proteins and altered bone collagen structure with increased dietary stress.

This study observed dynamic behaviors such as cluster formation, migration, and active proliferation of transplanted bone marrow cells in a mouse model, providing insight into cellular-level changes post-transplantation.
