This review discusses the changes in androgen levels with age in women and the potential benefits of testosterone replacement therapy as part of hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this article, the authors reviewed essential terminology and recommendations for creating a welcoming healthcare environment for transgender patients and providing gender-affirming therapy, emphasizing the unique health needs and disparities faced by this population.

This article reviews gender differences in planning and managing female cosmetic surgery patients and reports no new clinical findings.

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

This review examines age-related changes in androgen levels in women and explores the rationale for testosterone replacement therapy, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that while betaine supplementation decreases total homocysteine and increases methionine levels in a mouse model of CBS deficiency, it is not as effective as methionine restriction in reversing associated phenotypes.

This study suggests that DHT may have a less potent effect on the prostate compared to testosterone while maintaining safety and similar effects on erythropoiesis and lipids.

In this study, PTH–CBD displayed dose-dependent effects in reducing hair loss and enhancing hair regrowth in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This study found indications of phosphorus-calcium exchange abnormalities in children with chronic renal disease before kidney insufficiency, suggesting that early diagnostic methods like ultrasonic osteodensitometry could be beneficial.

This study describes permanent scalp alopecia in patients receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or both, and highlights the need for further research to identify causative factors and mitigation strategies.

This study established a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome due to a specific Crh mutation, which may help explore the effects of glucocorticoid excess and evaluate treatments for corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.

This study found that Hetian sheep with higher wool density produce more and finer wool, with key genes potentially influencing their wool growth and density.

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 article reviews considerations and guidelines for testosterone therapy in older men with low testosterone levels but does not provide new clinical results, emphasizing the need for ongoing evaluation and careful management, particularly regarding risks related to prostate and cardiovascular health.

In this animal study, administering testosterone alongside a 5α-reductase inhibitor counteracted testosterone's effects on prostate enlargement while preserving its beneficial effects on muscle and bone.

This phase I study reported that ETC-159, targeting Wnt signalling, showed tolerable safety profiles at doses that inhibit its pathway, though bone turnover markers increased, warranting early and regular monitoring. No tumor responses were observed, but two patients achieved stable disease for several cycles.

This study using Mendelian randomization in UK Biobank data suggests that lifelong increased free testosterone may have mixed effects, including increased bone density and prostate cancer risk, warranting well-powered trials to address uncertainties.

This study described the clinical and genetic features of two Iranian siblings with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, identifying a specific VDR gene mutation contributing to their symptoms.

In this study, autologous stem cell therapy was associated with a 29% increase in hair density in androgenetic alopecia patients over six months, suggesting potential for further investigation.

This review discusses the diagnosis, management, and hormone treatment of transsexual individuals, and examines the risks and effects of cross-sex hormone therapy without presenting new clinical results.

This review highlights the possible impact of side effects from endocrine therapy on quality of life, emphasizing that these can lead to poor adherence and early treatment discontinuation in patients with hormone receptor positive early breast cancer, potentially worsening survival outcomes.

This study reports that adding androgen deprivation therapy to salvage radiation therapy for patients with non-metastatic biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy improves progression-free survival, particularly in those with higher post-prostatectomy PSA levels.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors do not increase osteoporosis risk in women with certain hair loss conditions.

In 2021, JAMA Dermatology published significant findings on skin conditions post-COVID vaccination, melanoma surveillance, atopic dermatitis treatments, and confirmed that sun protection does not harm bone health.

In this pilot randomized clinical trial, TRT combined with finasteride increased lean mass, muscle size, and bone mineral density without prostate enlargement in men with spinal cord injury, suggesting potential benefits for body composition and musculoskeletal health.

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.

This review synthesizes existing research and indicates that PRP therapy shows promise for promoting hair regrowth and improving hair density, while also discussing the need for more studies on its safety and efficacy.

This review of 47 studies indicates that platelet preparations may significantly enhance cellular activity, wound healing, and facial aesthetic outcomes in facial plastic surgery, though potential publication bias should be considered.

This review indicates that most studies reported positive effects of platelet-rich plasma injections for treating androgenic alopecia, with no major side effects, suggesting it may be a safe alternative to Minoxidil and Finasteride.

This consensus statement discusses guidelines for screening, diagnosing, and treating the Female Athlete Triad, and introduces a risk stratification system to assist healthcare providers with sports participation decisions.
