This study found that the dehydroepiandrosterone hydroxylating enzyme system in hair follicles is similar to the liver monooxygenase system, sharing characteristics such as inhibition by carbon monoxide and dependency on NADPH.

This review summarizes recent research and patents on 17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3 inhibitors, suggesting their potential in treating androgen-dependent diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that plasma jets can effectively clean and oxidize human hair fibers, with argon/oxygen plasma having the strongest effects, suggesting potential as an alternative to peroxide treatment.

This article presents two cases of alopecia areata occurring simultaneously in a married couple, suggesting a potential psychosocial factor like stress rather than genetic causation.

This study examined the hair ionomic profiles of first-year RUDN University students and found distinct elemental differences between those from the Moscow region and the Middle East, suggesting these profiles may reflect the geographical and climatic conditions of their previous environments.

This study describes a Japanese family with monilethrix and found no clear genotype/phenotype correlation in cases with the E413K mutation in hHb6.

This study reports the synthesis and structural characterization of a novel dinuclear platinum(III) complex with potential antitumor and catalytic activity.

Epigenetic differences affect hair loss in identical Japanese male twins.

This study found that the cytoplasmic dynein component Dynlt3 is essential for effective melanosome transport and transfer in mouse melanocytes, linking melanosome positioning and acidity to the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This study found that the solubilities of flutamide, dutasteride, and finasteride in supercritical carbon dioxide were effectively modeled using semiempirical equations by Chrastil and Bartle, with varying levels of accuracy.

In this study, the authors concluded that a hydrolyzed eggwhite protein treatment promoted the reconnection of disulfide bonds in excessively bleached hair, after reduction and oxidation processes in permanent waving.

This case report describes a 6.5-year-old girl with a balanced chromosome translocation involving chromosomes 1 and 6, linked to developmental speech delay and features suggestive of ectodermal dysplasia.

In this case study, researchers detailed two Saudi cases of the ultra-rare Trichohepatoneurodevelopmental syndrome, identifying pathogenic variants in the CCDC47 gene and reinforcing a strong gene-disease association, which helps clarify the disorder's clinical features and genetic mutations.

This review discusses phenotypic differences in testosterone production between mice and humans with HSD17B3 deficiency and reports no new findings; the authors highlight potential pathways and enzymes involved in testosterone synthesis.

This review discusses 46,XY disorders of sex development caused by defects in androgen production and highlights the need for long-term care from experienced multidisciplinary teams, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that hair follicles from balding men show significant metabolic differences compared to those from non-balding individuals, particularly in their ability to process dehydroepiandrosterone.

Polyquaternium-64 helps damaged hair look healthy again.

This study found that using hair steroid profiling, dutasteride treatment led to reduced dihydrotestosterone levels and DHT/testosterone ratio in patients with male-pattern baldness.

This study found that human liver dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase (DHEA ST) catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of minoxidil, indicating another pathway contributing to its metabolism in humans.

This study developed and validated a high-resolution mass spectrometry method to screen for prohibited substances and analyze six endogenous steroids in urine according to World Antidoping Agency requirements, demonstrating its effectiveness for antidoping analysis.

This study found that Gynostemma pentaphyllum hydrodistillate and Damulin B exert significant anti-photoaging effects in UVB-irradiated models by reducing oxidative stress, improving ECM integrity, and enhancing skin hydration and elasticity.

This study identified novel mutations in the DSG4 gene in a Japanese patient with monilethrix, affecting protein interactions that may disrupt hair shaft structure.

Dihydrotestosterone gel improved well-being and sexual function in older men without negatively affecting prostate health.

This study suggests that patients with STSD show a different pattern in androgen activation compared to healthy controls, potentially due to increased 5α-reductase activity and absent prepubertal serum DHEA surge.

In this study, researchers used a reporter mouse model to identify and characterize distinct subtypes of dopaminergic neurons in the gut's enteric nervous system, revealing novel populations with potential implications for understanding their roles and vulnerabilities in disease.

This correspondence addresses the diagnostic challenges in distinguishing between Marie-Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis and Autosomal Recessive Hereditary Hypotrichosis with Woolly Hair, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study found that some synthesized 17-oximino-5-androsten-3β-yl esters demonstrated stronger cytotoxicity and antiandrogenic activity against prostate cancer cells than finasteride.
