The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.

This study found that in men with high genetic risk factors for polycystic ovary syndrome, there was an associated increase in obesity, type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, and androgenic conditions, suggesting these genetic factors can act independently of ovarian function.

This study found that patients with juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus have a high prevalence of endocrine and metabolic comorbidities, particularly dyslipidemia and obesity-related issues, suggesting the need for routine monitoring and obesity prevention.

This study found that young women with PCOS exhibited altered white matter microstructure and reduced cognitive performance compared to matched controls.

This review discusses the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on pediatric health, linking them to various disorders, and calls for improved biomonitoring strategies and precautionary policies.

This study observed that pediatric patients with diffuse, non-scarring alopecia had significantly lower levels of zinc and folate compared to matched healthy controls, suggesting a possible link between these deficiencies and hair loss in children.

Certain drugs and supplements may contribute to hair loss in the frontal hairline in older women.

An integrative approach combining medical, nutritional, and lifestyle changes effectively manages female pattern hair loss.

This review discusses the essential roles and complex regulation of PP2A in various physiological processes and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the need for further mouse model research to explore PP2A's therapeutic potential.

This paper discusses X-linked ichthyosis and its genetic causes, focusing on biochemical pathways and their role in epidermal differentiation and barrier function, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that 1-year use of 5alpha-reductase inhibitors, dutasteride or finasteride, significantly lowered dihydrotestosterone levels without adversely affecting bone density, lipids, or hemoglobin in normal men.

This review discusses the influence of oestrogens on various skin components and highlights their modulatory roles and receptor pathways, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, self-esteem, body image, and sexual function in women significantly improved after total laser pubic hair removal.

The GH-IGF-I axis is likely involved in the hormonal imbalances seen in non-obese women with functional hyperandrogenism.

In this study, researchers examined thyroid function and autoantibody levels in patients with alopecia areata and vitiligo, finding similar rates of thyroid dysfunction and autoantibody presence in both groups, with no significant differences based on ethnicity or gender.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This guideline from the Endocrine Society recommends using the Rotterdam criteria for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and outlines first-line treatments, emphasizing hormonal contraceptives and lifestyle intervention.

This study suggests that adding metformin to diet and exercise improves insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS, though lifestyle changes alone may enhance menstrual cycles.

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 melatonin's potential in dermatology, highlighting its antioxidative, immunomodulatory, and DNA repair properties, but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the adaptive value and mechanisms of seasonal coat colour moulting in birds and mammals, highlighting the challenge of camouflage mismatch and the necessity for evolutionary adaptation under climate change.

Treating sleep apnea in young obese women with PCOS can improve heart health and insulin sensitivity.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor in lampreys, which lack bones and hair, binds 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and may function to induce enzymes for detoxifying substances.

This narrative review discusses the impact of polycystic ovary syndrome on women's psychological and sexual well-being, highlighting the potential benefits of interdisciplinary treatments and new interventions to improve life satisfaction and coping, but reports no new results.

This review discusses the negative health impacts of testosterone deficiency and the potential adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, emphasizing the need for patient-physician discussions regarding these treatments.

This review discusses the structure, expression, regulation, and potential roles of NcoA4 in cancer and other pathologies, reporting no new experimental findings.

This presentation reviews recent discoveries about signaling mechanisms in hair follicles and their potential influence on hair cycle control and melanogenesis, without presenting new experimental results.

This study found that a novel missense mutation in the vitamin D receptor caused hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets with alopecia by disrupting protein function, highlighting the importance of DNA binding in hair development.

This study demonstrated that elevated glucocorticoid levels in transgenic mice led to pancreatic exocrine cells transforming into hepatocyte-like cells, resulting in pancreatic dysfunction.

This article discusses nutritional contributions to hair health and highlights the need for identifying risk factors for deficiencies but reports no new clinical findings.
