In this study, researchers found that Elastic Net DNA methylation clocks are not accurate for distinguishing between individuals or identifying health markers, but measuring biological "noise" in stable cytosines may serve as a potential biomarker of aging and disease.

This discussion of antioxidant use in pressure ulcer prevention highlights failed clinical trials but does not rule out ROS involvement or the potential efficacy of other antioxidants.

This chapter discusses the role of hormones in regulating reproductive biology and outlines how the endocrine system, particularly the brain and pituitary gland, controls these hormonal processes.

This chapter reviews the causes and underlying steroid pathways of hirsutism and virilization in women, detailing relevant conditions and laboratory assays without reporting new clinical results.

This article reviews the types and characteristics of adrenal cortex tumors, including their hormone secretion and detection as incidental findings, but presents no new research results.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations, suggesting hyperactivation of the HPA axis may affect metabolic and inflammatory markers in those with elevated cortisol levels.

In this study, the ChatGPT-5 model accurately answered 76.47% of questions on the Polish endocrinology specialty exam, surpassing the 60% passing threshold, yet its role in clinical decision-making remains uncertain, highlighting the need for further research.

In this study, adolescents with depressive symptoms were found to have higher urinary excretion rates of certain steroid metabolites, including corticosterone and adrenal hormones, and a specific metabolite ratio was identified as a potential biomarker for distinguishing these patients from healthy controls.

This overview examines the biology, origin, structure, and function of various cells and structures, such as the blood-retinal barrier and Merkel cells, and discusses their roles in disease pathogenesis, along with recent findings related to the lymph nodes' paracortex.

In this study, researchers found that a specific genetic variant in the INSR gene is linked to severe insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia in type A insulin resistance syndrome, suggesting the benefit of exon sequencing for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that storing horse hair follicles in RNAlater® at cool or room temperature for up to a week did not affect RNA integrity, suggesting it allows for flexible sample transport without immediate freezing.

This study demonstrates that combining gene expression data with a random forest algorithm provides highly accurate diagnosis of childhood growth hormone deficiency, showing potential utility in distinguishing it from non-GHD short stature.

In this study, GERD symptoms were found to be significantly related to acid exposure time and the intensity of excessive daytime sleepiness, which depends on circulating ghrelin levels.

This study found that finasteride use was associated with significantly higher odds of obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia compared to other medications.

This study found a significant association between metabolic syndrome and androgenic alopecia, with higher rates of metabolic syndrome observed in individuals with androgenic alopecia than in controls.

The conference presented findings on how vitamin D levels, genetic factors, and lifestyle choices like smoking and yoga affect various health conditions and diseases.

This study explored the molecular biology of skin adaptations in pangolins, revealing that certain genes for lipid synthesis have inactive patterns, while others related to skin function remain intact, suggesting complex evolutionary changes in their skin physiology.

This study investigated pangolin skin genetics, finding that while sweat gland-related genes are not inactivated, several genes related to sebaceous gland function are, which highlights complex evolutionary adaptations in mammalian skin.

Married Egyptian women with PCOS have lower sexual desire compared to those without PCOS.

In this cross-sectional study of healthy urban women in Shanghai, poor sleep quality and elevated perceived stress were linked to various self-reported dermatological issues and clinical signs, reinforcing the potential relevance of psychological factors in skin health.

This study explores the complex mechanisms of skin aging, including cellular senescence and disrupted communication, and highlights rejuvenation strategies like gene expression rewiring and microbiome modulation, offering potential frameworks for regenerative therapies and precise interventions in skin and systemic aging.

This review reports that nutritional and lifestyle factors, such as micronutrient deficiencies and stress, play a significant role in hair health and loss, but emphasizes that evidence for interventions remains limited and more research is needed to establish clear clinical guidelines.

The researchers observed that in cichlid fishes with different dental structures, tooth replacement accelerated more than three times following tooth extraction, alongside distinct changes in gene expression and cellular interactions over one week, providing insights into tooth regeneration mechanisms in vertebrates.

This review, sourced from expert panel discussions and literature analysis, suggests Tianmeng oral liquid may improve sleep, reduce anxiety and depression, and enhance well-being in psychosomatic disorder patients, though further research is necessary.

This review evaluates photobiomodulation's diverse clinical uses in sports and medicine, reporting physiological modulation and potential therapeutic benefits, but emphasizes the importance of precise dosimetry for success.

This review highlights the potential for physical exercise to reduce treatment toxicity and modification rates in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer receiving systemic treatments, suggesting benefits for survival outcomes; it recommends further trials to confirm these findings.

This review discusses the potential impact of lifestyle factors on the progression of androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for more comprehensive studies.
