This study found that patients with the MITF p.E318K variant are more likely to develop multiple primary melanomas and dysplastic nevi with uncommon dermoscopic patterns compared to non-carriers.

This study observed fluctuations in hair cortisol levels in rabbits, indicating their HPA axis activity responded similarly to surgical and environmental stressors, suggesting potential anthropomorphic evaluations of stress.

This study reported that selenium supplements do not reduce cancer risk and may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and high-grade prostate cancer, while observational studies suggest mixed associations between selenium exposure and cancer incidence.

This review discusses the neurobiology of sexual function and reports no new results; the authors cover multiple endocrine and neurotransmitter influences on sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm stages.

Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.

This study identified three novel genetic loci associated with PCOS and found similar genetic architecture across different diagnostic criteria, with evidence suggesting genetic links between PCOS and various metabolic and psychological traits.

This review provides updated guidelines for diagnosing and managing women's sexual dysfunctions but reports no new clinical findings; it emphasizes the need for ongoing research and long-term outcome studies.

This study found that restoring vitamin D receptor expression specifically in the keratinocytes of VDR null mice prevented alopecia and enhanced hair follicle response during anagen initiation.

This review found some evidence suggesting that spironolactone can effectively reduce hirsutism in women but did not support its use for treating acne vulgaris.

This study identified more than 100 genetic loci associated with hair color variation in Europeans, explaining a significant portion of the trait's heritability and advancing understanding of hair pigmentation.

This review concludes that although observational studies suggest a potential inverse association between selenium exposure and cancer risk, randomized trials show no convincing evidence that selenium supplements prevent cancer in humans and may indicate harmful effects.

This study found that Wnt signaling regulates the symmetric division of adult neural stem cells, increasing their numbers during subependymal regeneration, stroke response, and colony formation.

In this study, researchers reported that a keratinocyte growth factor-Ig fusion protein could specifically detect and localize KGFRs in epithelial tissues, suggesting a method for histochemical detection of growth factor receptors.

In this laboratory study, ASC-conditioned medium showed higher therapeutic potential than extracellular vesicles alone in reducing inflammation and catabolic activity in human chondrocytes with an osteoarthritis phenotype, highlighting its possible use in osteoarthritis management.

This review explores how sex differences influence the pathophysiology, incidence, and treatment outcomes of ischaemic heart disease, and emphasizes the need for more sex-specific research.

This article reviews sex disparities in COVID-19 outcomes and explores the influence of sex hormones on disease severity, but it reports no new results; further studies are ongoing.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells from hidradenitis suppurativa patients showed alterations in cell cycle regulation and DNA replication, potentially linking genetic predisposition to the skin inflammation characteristic of the disease.

This review reports that 100 mg/day spironolactone improved hair growth more than placebo and was more effective in reducing hair growth than finasteride and low-dose cyproterone acetate, but its effectiveness for acne remains unclear due to small sample sizes.

This study observed that post-surgical use of chlorhexidine digluconate mouth rinse in patients may induce a fibrotic transformation in gingival tissue, promoting a scar-like wound healing response.

This review discusses the traditional uses and biological activities of Aristotelia chilensis, summarizing its phytochemical composition and various potential health benefits, but reports no original research findings and highlights the need for further studies.

This study observed that frontal plus moderate vertex baldness at age 45 was associated with a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer in a large cohort.

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 study found that in a transgenic mouse model, β-HPV infection led to increased skin thickness and proliferation of specific keratinocyte stem cells, which may contribute to squamous cell carcinoma development.

This review found no evidence that DHEA improves quality of life or decreases menopausal symptoms in peri- and postmenopausal women, but it may slightly enhance sexual function compared to placebo.

This study found that the Elecsys AMH Plus immunoassay with a cutoff of 3.2 ng/mL is effective for diagnosing polycystic ovarian morphology, showing high sensitivity and specificity across different PCOS phenotypes.

This article reviews treatment options for pityriasis rubra pilaris but reports no new clinical findings, often noting treatments as unsuccessful.

This study suggests that any baldness, particularly moderate balding, is associated with a higher risk of fatal prostate cancer in men, supporting a possible link between hair loss and prostate cancer mechanisms.

This study found that SDR5A1 gene expression was similar between hirsute women, normal women, and men, suggesting it may not explain differences in hair growth among these groups.

This research found that a biodegradable fibrous membrane incorporating fibroblast-derived ECM accelerated wound healing and improved neovascularization in a mouse model.
