In this report, a 22-year-old woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency underwent treatment with hydrocortisone and spironolactone, followed by feminization surgery, which subsequently led to the development of secondary sexual characteristics and regular menstruation.

This study found that hair follicle gene expression varies between Angus and Brahman cattle and responds to growth-promoting treatments, which may reflect breed differences in adaptability to cold stress.

This study concluded that CNGC14 is a calcium-permeable channel crucial for polarized tip growth in Arabidopsis root hairs, but other channels may also influence the observed calcium influx.

This study outlines the Human Gene Correlation Analysis tool, which classifies human genes by coexpression levels and identifies overrepresented annotation terms in correlated gene groups, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that both scalp cooling systems and chemical cooling caps effectively reduced chemotherapy-induced alopecia in early breast cancer patients, with scalp cooling showing better early efficacy but chemical cooling providing greater psychological and quality of life benefits.

This study found that oral administration of Thauera sp. strain GDN1 reduced serum androgen levels in male mice by about 50%, suggesting its potential as a probiotic treatment for hyperandrogenism.

This study found that glycylglycine treatment improved hair softness by enhancing hair alignment and altering internal fiber properties among Japanese women with typically coarse hair.

This study investigated transcription factors in human trophectoderm cells during development, finding that GATA2 and GATA3 are essential for transforming stem cells into induced trophoblast stem cells, which display characteristics similar to placental progenitor cells, offering new methods for modeling placental-associated diseases.

This study reports that Cyperus rotundus L. (nut grass) shows promise as a natural hair removal agent, with compounds targeting hair follicles and potentially offering an alternative to chemical depilatories, demonstrated by its efficacy in clinical trials and comparable results to some laser treatments.

This study found that localized skin calcification could be induced in adult rats through dihydrotachysterol treatment combined with topical trauma, offering an experimental model for calcifying scleroderma.

This narrative review discusses the initiation and monitoring of gender-affirming hormone therapy in Australia, noting standard testosterone use for trans men and estradiol with anti-androgens for trans women, emphasizing the importance of monitoring cardiovascular and bone health.

Using combined hair restoration methods can effectively treat severe scalp wrinkling.

This study suggests that BTP levels in cerebrospinal fluid might help diagnose CIDP and predict therapy response but require validation in larger cohorts.

This study found that the PPARγ modulator NAC-GED-0507-Levo may protect hair follicles from chemotherapy-induced damage, potentially offering a strategy to address irreversible hair loss in cancer patients.

This case study highlights the importance of an integrated diagnostic and treatment approach for children with rare genetic disorders, as demonstrated in a 10-year-old girl with CNOT3 syndrome, characterized by symptoms like mental retardation, gastrointestinal issues, and unique facial features.

In this study, 15d-PGJ2 administered in a topical cream inhibited oxidative and inflammatory skin changes caused by UVB radiation in hairless mice, suggesting it as a promising treatment approach.

This study reported that the PTGER2 gene is strongly expressed in cashmere goat skin and its expression tends to decrease from the anagen to telogen stages of the hair follicle cycle.

This study found that longer-chain cationic surfactants like BTMC provided superior hair conditioning by reducing combing forces, but did not reverse oxidative hair damage, emphasizing the role of molecular structure in surfactant performance.

This study reports that the newly developed SA-Ca(II) hydrogel has tunable mechanical properties, high biocompatibility, and potential applications in wearable protections and stimuli-responsive electronics.

High doses of cyclosporine A increase testosterone conversion, possibly boosting hair growth.

This study found that administering gingerol improved survival and reduced organ damage in mouse models of chronic graft-versus-host disease by modulating T cell differentiation and inflammatory cytokines, suggesting a novel therapeutic approach for steroid-refractory cases.

This study found that transgenic mice expressing a mutant CYLD protein lacking deubiquitinase function showed signs of premature aging and spontaneous tumor development, likely due to over-activation of specific molecular pathways and chronic inflammation.

This study found that sebaceous gland-derived cutaneous adnexal carcinomas exhibited the highest frequency of genomic alterations compared to other tumor types.

This study evaluated the effects of tip cryotherapy on idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis lesions, finding that 82.3% of treated lesions showed significant improvement after four months compared to only 2% of control lesions, with minimal side effects.

This study found that minicircle-based gene therapy significantly lowered total homocysteine levels and improved liver CBS activity in a mouse model of CBS deficiency.

This study found that cationic surfactant-based conditioning systems significantly improve hair combability by forming a stable low-friction film on hair surfaces, reducing friction and enhancing sensory performance compared to standard systems, as confirmed by both instrumental and sensory evaluations.

This study identified 1277 genomic regions selected for traits in indigenous Chinese goats, including cashmere fiber, reproduction, size, and high-altitude adaptation, revealing key candidate genes for these phenotypes through whole-genome resequencing.

This narrative review suggests that, after at least two years of gender-affirming hormone therapy, nonathletic transgender individuals tend to have physical performance levels similar to cisgender individuals, though more controlled research is necessary, particularly among trans athletes.
