This study found that lower serum BDNF levels were associated with higher depression severity and more severe alopecia areata in patients.

This review highlights that recent advancements in diagnostics and therapies, including AI-enhanced imaging, biomarker analysis, and novel treatments like low-dose oral minoxidil and JAK inhibitors, are improving the precision and customization of hair loss management.

This review found that while elevated DHEA levels are observed in some women with PCOS, especially those with hyperandrogenism, inconsistencies across studies suggest that standardized measurement and analyses are needed to clarify DHEA's role as a biomarker and factor in PCOS pathophysiology.

This study on Dorper sheep identified important genetic factors influencing hair follicle development, finding that expression patterns and genes like DBI, FZD3, and ZDHHC21 play a crucial role in wool shedding, which could help improve understanding of mammalian skin-related traits and human hair advancement.

This study found that alkaloids isolated from Cucumis metuliferus fruit pulp demonstrated antiviral activity against IBDV in chicken embryo fibroblast cells and NDV in 10-day-old embryonated chicken eggs, while being non-cytotoxic.

This study found that chronic stress may inhibit hair follicle growth and melanogenesis in mice through modulation of the central HPA axis, with C57BL/6 mice appearing most sensitive to these effects.

This study found that testosterone concentrations in hair samples were moderately stable over three months, with cosmetic treatments like coloring increasing testosterone levels, while natural hair color in untreated hair did not affect testosterone measurements.

This study observed that autologous platelet-rich plasma treatment improved hair count and density in areas with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo, with differing outcomes based on the PRP collection device used.

This review discusses the mechanisms linking obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome and explores potential management options, but it presents no original research findings.

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 review discusses the impact of weight gain and obesity on the development of polycystic ovary syndrome and explores lifestyle strategies to manage the condition, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) acts as a potent stimulator of hair growth in human scalp hair follicles, promoting elongation and prolonging the anagen phase.

This study found that prolactin is a key regulator of keratin expression in human hair follicles, enhancing specific keratin types and influencing epithelial stem cell-associated keratins.

This review discusses the diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new results; the authors propose more robust criteria to address diagnostic variability and measurement uncertainty.

This study found that inhibiting the enzyme 5α-reductase with finasteride counteracted stress-induced prepulse inhibition deficits in socially isolated rats by altering neuroactive steroid concentrations in the brain.

This study reported that semen quality improved in three young men after discontinuing long-term finasteride use, although meiotic abnormalities persisted.

This study found that in a mouse model, alopecia areata was associated with changes in heart structure, biochemistry, and gene expression linked to cardiac hypertrophy after ACTH exposure.

This review discusses the potential link between long-term transdermal exposure to sex hormones from antiperspirants and increased breast and prostate cancer rates, calling for further research to confirm this theory.

This study found that individuals with lichen planopilaris reported lower quality of life and self-esteem and higher depression scores compared to healthy controls.

This review discusses the role of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) in the epidermal barrier, noting that its disruption in mice is linked to skin and fur abnormalities; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that co-administering glucocorticoids with 5α-reductase inhibitors exacerbated the adverse metabolic effects of glucocorticoids in healthy men.

This study reports a novel TRbeta gene mutation associated with resistance to thyroid hormone syndrome, which may contribute to various forms of alopecia in the affected family members.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher total PSA levels than controls, and the total PSA level correlates positively with testosterone and free androgen index.

This study developed a new method for detecting 30 hormones in anti-aging functional foods, demonstrating good sensitivity and reliability, and identified seven hormones in four out of 14 samples tested.

This report details the case of an 11-year-old girl with APECED syndrome carrying a unique homozygous mutation in the AIRE gene, the first of its kind documented.

This case study reports the first clinical case of besnoitiosis in two donkeys in Italy, suggesting a wider distribution of the disease in European equids than previously expected.

In this randomized study, BAY 1158061, a prolactin receptor antibody, was found to be safe, well-tolerated, and exhibited low immunogenicity in healthy postmenopausal women, but had no effect on serum prolactin levels compared to placebo.

This review discusses molecular testing for endocrine diseases, highlighting its diagnostic benefits and potential for prevention, particularly in conditions like multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 and adrenogenital syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report highlights the challenge of distinguishing between neuropsychiatric lupus and rituximab-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and careful management.

This study reports the first case of ovarian mature cystic teratoma linked to clinical virilization due to ectopic testosterone production, possibly from overexpression of the enzyme HSD17B5.
