This study observed that the vitamin D receptor is crucial for hair follicle formation and altering tumor development in the Wnt signaling pathway, suggesting therapeutic potential for vitamin D analogues in related tumors.

In this study, finasteride dose-dependently inhibited stress-induced increases in allopregnanolone in rats, while enhancing 20alpha-reduction of progesterone without affecting 3alpha-dihydroprogesterone or 11-deoxycorticosterone levels.

This study found that a new analytical approach revealed an increased brain pregnenolone level following finasteride treatment in a mouse model, suggesting potential for improved understanding of neurosteroid roles in brain excitability.

This article discusses the influence of estrogens on hair follicle growth and metabolism, suggesting a significant role alongside androgens in hair growth control but reports no new clinical results.

Stretching skin increases a certain protein that attracts stem cells, helping skin regeneration.

This study found that systemic administration of NDP-MSH, a melanocortin receptor agonist, provided neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, reducing neuroinflammation and suggesting a role for regulatory T cells in these neuroprotective effects.

This study observed that deleting PTEN in mouse facial motoneurons enhanced peripheral axon regeneration but also led to physiological changes and potential hyperplasia in older mice.

This study suggests that maternal hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance may induce ferroptosis in the gravid uterus and placenta in rats, but through distinct molecular mechanisms.

This study identified a group of dermal fibroblasts near hair follicle stem cells in mice that facilitate hair regeneration by creating a biomechanically compliant extracellular matrix, enhancing stem cell activation and promoting a positive feedback loop for tissue regeneration.

In this study, oral finasteride treatment for four weeks reduced the weight of the corpus cavernosum in rats but did not significantly affect erectile function.

In this study of Danioninae species, researchers reported that the presence of breeding tubercles on the pectoral fins is conserved in certain species and linked to local androgen conversion, with steroid 5-α-reductase playing a crucial role in their development.

This review investigates how the chirality of peptides affects their ability to form hydrogels, comparing the structural and mechanical properties of hydrogels made from homochiral and heterochiral peptides, and discussing their potential biological applications.

This abstract provides a comprehensive overview of enzyme classification, function, and interaction with drugs, but does not present new research findings.

This study suggests that in rats, maternal hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance lead to activation of ferroptosis in the gravid uterus and placenta, mediated by different molecular and cellular mechanisms.

In this study, researchers found that single SNPs have a small genetic effect on phenotypes in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats, and constructing haplotypes from associated SNPs may uncover complex variations in cashmere traits, aiding genomics and breeding efforts.

This study found that experiencing childhood abuse is associated with higher BMI, but hair cortisol and cortisone do not mediate this relationship.

This study found that compounds isolated from Osmanthus fragrans var. aurantiacus demonstrated antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities, potentially offering therapeutic benefits for inflammatory bowel diseases by inhibiting COX-2 and iNOS enzymes and blocking ERK 1/2 MAPK signaling.

This article discusses the importance of recognizing and distinguishing polycystic ovary syndrome from similar endocrine disorders, and reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that during early embryogenesis and larval development in Silurana tropicalis, inhibiting steroidogenic enzymes cyp19 and srd5beta affects genes related to thyroid and reproductive systems.

This review discusses the traditional uses and pharmacological properties of Hedychium spicatum, noting that while some traditional uses are supported by scientific studies, further research on its applications is needed.

This study reports that ritlecitinib, when used for up to 24 months in patients aged 12 and older with alopecia areata, has an acceptable safety profile, with a similar proportion of adverse events in both ritlecitinib and placebo groups in the placebo-controlled cohort.

This study found that cutaneous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate hydrolase activity may be carried out by an enzyme different from the classical tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase in human and mouse skin.

This study found that incorporating human adipose subcutaneous tissue in 3D organotypic skin cultures mimicking hypertrophic scar conditions improved epidermal homeostasis, formed a basement membrane similar to native skin, and reduced myofibroblast presence, indicating an anti-fibrotic effect.

This study found that alcoholic extracts of Blumea eriantha DC exhibited significant hair growth activity, primarily attributed to the phytoconstituent Dimethyl sulfone.

This review discusses pharmacologic treatment options for muscle-related pain conditions and notes that there is strong evidence for the efficacy of tricyclic antidepressants and muscle relaxants in specific myofascial pain syndromes, but not universally.

This review discusses the role of LPA(3) in embryo implantation and its genetic connection with prostaglandin signaling, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that sonicated platelet-rich plasma was more effective than calcium chloride-induced platelet-rich plasma in activating hair follicle stem cells and promoting hair follicle regeneration in mice.

This letter to the editor provides no abstract and reports no new research findings or results.

This review summarizes how genetic studies using conditional β-catenin loss- and gain-of-function mice have advanced understanding of canonical Wnt signaling's role in embryonic development, adult stem cell maintenance, and cancer modeling.

This review discusses the development and selectivity of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, particularly non-steroidal ones, and reports no new clinical trial results.
