This review discusses various skin diseases with endocrinological origins and reports no clinical results, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary understanding in diagnosis.

This case report describes a functional adrenocortical oncocytoma that co-secreted testosterone and cortisol.

The researchers observed that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin, with receptor expression varying throughout the hair cycle, suggesting melatonin's role in hair cycle control.

In this study, researchers found that androgenetic alopecia is associated with increased gene expression related to inflammation, stress, and fibrosis, particularly affecting the hair follicle stem cells and showing similarities to diseases like psoriasis.

This study developed a new method for detecting 30 hormones in anti-aging functional foods, demonstrating good sensitivity and reliability, and identified seven hormones in four out of 14 samples tested.

The document concludes that the skin is a complex organ providing protection, sensation, and healing, with challenges in treating conditions like itchiness.

This study observed that lifestyle modifications resulting in weight loss improved menstrual irregularity and hormonal balance among infertile obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome, although changes in total testosterone and estrone were not significant.

This chapter reviews the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of various non-hormonal, non-infectious alopecias without providing new clinical findings.

This study found that PRL-1-overexpressing PD-MSCs reduced adipogenesis in orbital fibroblasts from Graves' ophthalmopathy patients by secreting IGFBPs and modulating the FAK pathway.

In this study, researchers found that the novel gene circCFAP20DC enhances the proliferation of goat follicular granulosa cells by activating the RB pathway, facilitating their progression from the G1 to S phase during follicular development.

This review discusses the immune roles of keratinocytes in wound healing and chronic wound inflammation, emphasizing their potential impact on chronic wound pathology and highlighting areas for future research.

This study reports that overexpression of activin in transgenic mice enhances granulation tissue formation during wound healing, highlighting a novel role for activin in cutaneous repair processes.

This review discusses the unique features of dermal white adipose tissue, its interaction with hair follicles, and its role in skin physiology, reporting no new experimental findings.

This study explored the complex roles of niche cells in regulating hair follicle stem cells, identifying specific cell functions such as signaling, sensing, and relaying messages, which could provide insights into treating hair loss conditions like androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata.

In this laboratory study with rats, treatment with finasteride reduced dihydrotestosterone levels and fertility parameters, with a 30-day recovery period proving insufficient to fully restore sperm function and fertility.

This review discusses the role of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) in the epidermal barrier, noting that its disruption in mice is linked to skin and fur abnormalities; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that epidermal melanocytes can regenerate hair follicles, whereas non-cutaneous or dermal melanocytes cannot, suggesting two distinct melanocyte lineages with potential implications for melanocyte-related diseases.

In a study on diabetic mice, researchers developed a protein-based hydrogel that leverages zinc ions and the natural compound phellopterin to promote cutaneous nerve regeneration, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling in diabetic wounds, highlighting its potential for advanced wound therapy.

In this review, researchers discussed recent insights into caspases, enzymes initially associated with cell death and inflammation, revealing their broader roles in cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation, and highlighting the importance of caspase knock-out mice for understanding their implications in diseases.

This review describes recent advances in regenerating functional 3D organs from stem cells, particularly ectodermal organs, but reports no new clinical findings and highlights future research directions for organ replacement therapy.

This study found that a novel R343H mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene impairs its transcription activity, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets and alopecia in the affected family.

This study developed a new method to analyze Cantú syndrome mutations in KATP channels, finding that while Kir6.1 mutations increase sensitivity to potassium channel openers, SUR2B mutations show reduced sensitivity, but both result in marked hyperpolarization compared to wild-type channels under basal conditions.

This study identified a new cis-regulatory element in the mouse Hr gene that influences its expression in skin and brain cells, highlighting a complex molecular network involved in hair follicle formation.

This study suggests that hair follicle dermal stem/progenitor cells play a key role in both hair regeneration and skin wound healing, with potential implications for preventing hair follicle miniaturization linked to aging or alopecia.

The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.

This study observed no teratogenic effects of oral decongestants and surprisingly favorable neonatal outcomes in Swedish women who used them during pregnancy.

This review discusses the regulation and function of vitamin D and its receptor in skin cells, highlighting their roles in processes such as proliferation inhibition, differentiation, and innate immunity, but reports no new results.

This review discusses how ophthalmic findings can reveal key endocrine disorders and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the eye's role in diagnosing and managing systemic diseases like diabetes and Graves' ophthalmopathy.

This review highlights the efficacy of transdermal testosterone therapy in improving sexual function in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, though approved formulations and long-term safety data are limited.

In this study, women with idiopathic hirsutism who took finasteride for 9 months experienced a significant reduction in hirsutism scores compared to those receiving a placebo, with minimal side effects.
