In this study, researchers found that a polyphenolic extract from Annurca apples, high in procyanidin B2, increased hair growth, density, and keratin content in healthy subjects after 2 months of use, and stimulated keratin biosynthesis in vitro.

This review discusses the hormonal influences on hair cycling disorders in post-partum and postmenopausal women and notes the lack of evidence for effective targeted treatments.

This study reported that prenatal exposure to dihydrotestosterone altered long-term androgen metabolism in juvenile male rats, suggesting different regulatory mechanisms for 5a-reductase in hypothalamic versus pituitary tissues.

This study found that exposure to sex steroid biosynthesis inhibitors increases the expression of piRNA pathway genes in frog larvae, suggesting these genes play a role in gonadal sex differentiation.

In this study, the authors concluded that the VCD-induced follicular depletion rat model can effectively simulate the perimenopause transition, with hormonal changes distinguishing early/mid-transition from late transition to estropause.

This study found significant differences in gene expression between newborn and adult skin, with infant skin notably increasing processes related to ECM organization, cell adhesion, and collagen fibril organization.

This study found that lncRNA-000133 may play a role in secondary hair follicle reconstruction and cashmere fiber growth in goats, potentially through its interaction with the methylation of its regulatory region and dermal papilla cells.

Local skin glucocorticoid production is crucial for healthy skin, and its disruption can lead to skin diseases.

This paper examines how societal constructs of gender influence the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism in women, emphasizing the impact of perceived femininity on psychological stress and commercial depilatory actions.

This study found that asebic mice exhibit abnormal sebaceous gland differentiation and insufficient sebum production due to defective regulation of cell processes, despite possessing normally developing sebaceous glands initially.

The document explains various skin conditions in cats and how to diagnose and treat them.

This review discusses the evidence for using oral medications to treat central serous chorioretinopathy, highlighting eplerenone as having the most support despite a lack of robust efficacy across studies.

This article discusses treatments for male pattern baldness, noting that minoxidil is effective for improving baldness at the scalp vertex in young men, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the potential of follicular drug delivery systems to target the pilosebaceous unit and reports no new research findings.

In this case study, researchers observed that steroidogenesis from adrenal androgens in prostate cancer tissues may explain progression in a 74-year-old man with low circulating testosterone.

This review explores hair signs related to nutrition disorders, such as thin and dyspigmented hair, without presenting new clinical findings; the authors highlight unknowns regarding underlying causes.

This review examines the impact of polycystic ovary syndrome on reproductive health, its pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and emerging therapies, and reports no new findings; the authors emphasize the need for individualized treatment strategies.

This study found a significant association between patients' sex of rearing and external genitalia in those with gonadal dysgenesis, while noting lower testosterone levels compared to controls.

This review discusses the role of extracellular vesicles from specific skin cells in wound healing, emphasizing their potential in regenerative medicine and reporting no new experimental results.

This abstract explains that androgenetic alopecia, a common hair loss disorder influenced by genetics and hormones like dihydrotestosterone, has FDA-approved treatments including minoxidil, finasteride, and photolaser therapy, but its genetic basis and susceptibility to environmental factors remain complex.

The authors concluded that incorporating routine endocrinology consultations into transplant care could address CNI-related endocrine toxicities, but prospective studies are needed to assess the impact on graft and patient survival.

This study found that 11-oxygenated androgens were higher in women with PCOS compared to those with idiopathic hirsutism, with no difference from controls, and higher Bisphenol A levels in obese women with PCOS may worsen metabolic issues.

This review highlights the possible impact of side effects from endocrine therapy on quality of life, emphasizing that these can lead to poor adherence and early treatment discontinuation in patients with hormone receptor positive early breast cancer, potentially worsening survival outcomes.

This study suggests that dysfunctions and altered expression of aquaporins may play a role in PCOS-related disorders, potentially impacting folliculogenesis and integrating with the insulin-dependent hypothesis of PCOS pathogenesis.

This article discusses how nutritional and environmental factors, along with antioxidant supplementation, may improve hair growth by mitigating the effects of androgens and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses attempts to confirm low-dose effects in rodent endocrine studies and reports no findings; variability in control groups hinders demonstrating weak effects.

This article discusses the diagnostic approach to symmetrical alopecia in dogs, particularly focusing on conditions affecting the endocrine glands and hair follicles, without presenting new research results.

This case report identifies two specific mutations in the WRN gene in a 40-year-old female with Werner syndrome, highlighting the need for awareness of its early manifestations and treatment options.

This study observed that testosterone therapy in transgender men enhances both physical and mental health, is safe in the short and middle term with proper follow-up, and highlights the need for endocrinologists to provide gender-affirming care despite its limited presence in medical education.

This case report highlights that hair loss, though common in the general population, may be a rare presenting symptom of Cushing's disease, as observed in a woman with multiple dermatological signs of the condition.
