This study reports the cloning and sequencing of two type II hair-specific keratin genes, ghHb1 and ghHb6, located on chromosome 12q13, which are expressed during hair growth.

This study found that untreated hirsute patients have lower expression of type 2 17β-HSD mRNA in scalp hairs, indicating potential disturbances in androgen metabolism, compared to treated hirsute patients.

This article discusses the potential benefits of platelet-rich plasma injections in ovarian tissue to improve reproductive outcomes in IVF for older individuals and proposes a mechanism to enhance embryo ploidy rescue, but reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that neither basal nor ACTH-stimulated 17-OHP concentrations effectively indicate carrier status for 21-hydroxylase deficiency among Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, recommending molecular analysis of the CYP21 gene for reliable screening.

This study reports that transgene insertion in homozygous transgenic mice causes irreversible hair loss and impaired immune function, linked to interruption of the hairless locus on Chromosome 14.

This study found a significant association between the IRS-2 gene variant and an increased risk of PCOS, especially in non-obese women in the Chinese population from Taiwan.

This article reviews keratosis follicularis squamosa, a keratinizing disorder predominantly found in the Japanese population, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that higher serum IL-21 levels may serve as a promising diagnostic and prognostic marker for alopecia areata, strongly correlating with disease activity.

Researchers found a new area on chromosome 2 linked to a genetic hair loss condition.

In a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, this study found that purple corn extract may improve symptoms by inhibiting prostate enlargement, reducing androgen receptor signaling, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects.

This review discusses the complex pathophysiological and clinical aspects of COVID-19, including dermatological findings and their association with SARS-CoV-2 infection but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for non-classic congenital hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and provides evidence-based recommendations for its treatment and genetic counseling.

This article provides guidelines for molecular genetic testing of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, focusing on quality requirements, methodologies, and variant classification; it reports no new clinical results.

This review suggests that most mutations in the SRD5A2 gene show no clear genotype-phenotype correlation in 5-α-Reductase deficiency, although mutation location affects severity.

Minoxidil affects collagen-related genes, potentially helping treat fibrosis.

This study concluded that heterozygosity for CYP21 mutations is associated with higher mean and free testosterone levels in women but does not significantly increase their risk of developing clinically evident hyperandrogenism.

This study found no significant associations between the polymorphisms of SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 genes and androgenetic alopecia, clinical types of baldness, or response to finasteride in Koreans.

In this study, NKG2D polymorphism was not linked to increased susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus among Egyptian patients living in the Suez Canal area.

FDG PET/CT can improve cancer treatment plans in dogs.

This case report describes a child with Gomez–Lopez–Hernandez syndrome, highlighting developmental challenges and medical interventions, yet noting academic success and participation in mainstream activities.

This study found that purified apple juice containing procyanidin B-2 promoted hair growth in both mouse models and human clinical trials for male pattern baldness.

This study found that the SRD5A2 A49T A variant is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, lower circulating 3α‐diolG levels, and a decreased risk of baldness.

This study observed that patients with CYLD mutations frequently experienced severe, painful tumors beyond the head and neck, impacting their quality of life, with hormonal factors possibly contributing to tumor development.

This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2 often exhibit skin abnormalities, which correlate with genotype severity and serum vitamin D levels, and suggest premature aging.

This study found that individuals in this Egyptian cohort carrying the leucine (L) allele of the 5-α reductase type II enzyme had a higher risk of developing androgenetic alopecia, which may be associated with oxidative stress.

This study suggests genetic and clinical heterogeneity in keratosis pilaris atrophicans, with variations in inheritance patterns, severity, and response to treatment among 21 individuals observed.

Anticonvulsant drugs may cause temporary chromosomal abnormalities.

This study found that thymus transplantation in infants with FOXN1 deficiency led to T-cell reconstitution and functional immunity, resolving serious infections and cytopenias.

This study observed that the OCIAD2 and DCN genes in Liaoning cashmere goats have opposite effects on hair growth by interacting with the TGF-β signaling pathway, influencing follicle morphogenesis and periodic changes.

This study reports that two mouse models of scarring alopecia exhibit similar patterns of hair loss progression despite histological differences in inflammatory cell localization and MHC class I expression.
