In this study, researchers developed a chemiluminescence assay kit for detecting free testosterone, showing it performed well and met clinical demands with low cost and automation; free testosterone levels differed in patients with various diagnoses, suggesting its diagnostic relevance for diseases such as prostate malignancy.

This study reported that dandelion herb-derived carbon dots significantly enhanced wound healing in mice with Staphylococcus aureus infections, outperforming a commercial wound healing spray through their antibacterial and dual ROS-modulating capabilities.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) suppresses prostaglandin E2 and TGF-β induced IGF-I gene promoter activity in osteoblasts, suggesting complex interactions among bone growth regulators and potential complications from anabolic steroid use.

The document concludes that a new biosensor can efficiently detect prostate cancer cells and that standardized referrals help find significant cancers effectively.

Human hair follicles can process steroid hormones like DHEA.

Scientists made glow-in-the-dark dots from human hair that can detect iron, prevent counterfeiting, and reveal fingerprints.

This study observed that male human hair follicles metabolized dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA) more intensively than skin did and found altered DHA metabolism in follicles from balding individuals.

In this study, researchers identified and examined males with 17 beta-HSD3 deficiency in a highly inbred Arab population, noting genetic findings and the progression of male characteristics despite being raised as females initially.

This study found that vitamin D receptor activation in primary keratinocytes can occur independently of the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ ligand, likely through interaction with retinoid X receptors.

This review discusses recent developments in capillary microfluidic wearables for non-invasive, continuous biofluid monitoring, highlighting advances in device design, electrochemical and optical biosensing, and the challenges of clinical validation and scalable manufacturing.

This chapter discusses the molecular biology of the vitamin D receptor in gene transcription and reports no new results; it highlights recent findings on receptor activity independent of its usual ligand.

This study found that AR-007 degrades faster and has a stronger association with hsp70 than AR-014, suggesting it is less stable when bound to the androgen receptor.

In this study, an ultra-low dose combination of estradiol and dydrogesterone significantly reduced hot flushes and improved health-related quality of life among a multi-ethnic population of postmenopausal women, with no notable difference in serious adverse events compared to placebo.

This study found that in male yaks, 5α-red1 may play a crucial role in synthesizing DHT to promote hair follicle growth, while E2 synthesized by epithelial cells may inhibit this growth through ERα.

Hair can show daily calcium changes, linked to body calcium levels and influenced by hormones, and can help assess calcium metabolism issues.

This study found that bioavailable testosterone and the free androgen index were significantly associated with various clinical and biochemical features of PCOS, including hirsutism, showing higher levels in PCOS patients compared to controls.

This study suggests that the vitamin D receptor and hairless gene may directly regulate each other via a transcriptional mechanism, potentially explaining phenotypic similarities between atrichia and VDRRIIa rickets.

This study assessed vitamin D levels in both serum and hair among 80 male and female participants from a dermatology clinic and found no significant gender-related differences in these vitamin D levels.

This article reviews approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia and reports no new research findings, highlighting the need for further studies.

In this study, the synthesis of C-4 and C-6 bridged haptens of 11 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone revealed an unexpected formation of a C-4 substituted product using a 6-bromo derivative, contrary to prior reports.

This study describes an efficient gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for detecting estrone and 17 beta-estradiol concentrations in hair, finding differing levels in male and female samples.

The researchers reported that the rat Hershberger assay reliably detected endocrine-disrupting effects of finasteride, procymidone, and 17α-methyltestosterone, validating the assay's sensitivity for identifying hormonal activity.

This study developed and validated a mass spectrometric method to measure hydroxy-androgens in serum, which aids in understanding androgen synthesis in castration resistant prostate cancer.

In this study, daily administration of 100mg DHEA for 16 weeks in women with adequate ovarian reserve did not modify metabolic or reproductive variables, apart from increased antral follicular count and anti-Müllerian hormone levels.

This study suggests that residues Val-889 and Arg-752 in the androgen receptor's steroid binding domain are crucial for NH2-/carboxyl-terminal interaction, affecting receptor stability and function.

The trichometer accurately measures hair growth and is easy to use.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) may shorten the hair growth cycle through mechanisms like cell-cycle arrest and β-catenin downregulation in rat hair follicle cells.

This study demonstrated that both HR isoforms are expressed in keratinocytes, but HRDelta1072-1126 lacks corepressor activity and may act as a coactivator by inhibiting HDAC recruitment to the VDR transcriptional complex.

In this study, researchers found that keratinocytes are unlikely to be target cells for androgen, as shown by limited androgen receptor transcriptional activity in keratinocyte cells.

This study concluded that neither basal nor ACTH-stimulated 17-OHP concentrations effectively indicate carrier status for 21-hydroxylase deficiency among Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, recommending molecular analysis of the CYP21 gene for reliable screening.
