This study found that cold exposure disrupts the circadian rhythm in cultured human cells by reducing oscillation amplitude, which is restored upon rewarming, while human hair follicle cells showed minimal amplitude sensitivity to temperature changes, suggesting an evolutionary advantage related to Hopf bifurcation dynamics.

In this study, researchers from the Swedish forensic medicine agency aimed to enhance routine practices by integrating affordable photogrammetry technology to improve 3D injury documentation, highlighting efforts to implement this in daily forensic work amid financial and staffing constraints.

This article compiles evidence on prescribing estrogen for hormonal imbalance in women, emphasizing it should be personalized and carefully managed by healthcare providers based on individual cases.

This study found no significant association between alopecia types and thyroid dysfunction, despite higher thyroid dysfunction rates in alopecia patients compared to the general U.S. population.

This paper describes the hGRα gene structure and its expression, focusing on the functional properties of the longest GRα isoform, but reports no new results.

This study found that subchronic finasteride treatment in male rats altered neuroactive steroid levels and steroid receptor expression in the brain, with some changes persisting after drug withdrawal.

This article examines the morphological and physiological characteristics of eyelash follicles and offers clinical management suggestions for conditions like eyelash loss and trichomegaly, but presents no new clinical results.

This review explores the role of hormones in pilosebaceous units and associated skin disorders, focusing on androgen action, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that all four evaluated large language models generated a significant proportion of inappropriate responses when prompted with or without LGBTQIA+ identity terms, with more severe bias observed in prompts mentioning LGBTQIA+ identities.

This Delphi study found that moderate-to-severe alopecia areata in Poland, Czechia, Russia, and Türkiye significantly impacts quality of life and highlights an unmet need for more effective treatments.

This study reviewed 562 alopecia areata patients in Colombia, observing a higher prevalence in women and common use of steroid injections and topical minoxidil as treatments.

In this rat study, offspring from females fertilized by finasteride-treated males showed hyperglycemia and increased hepatic glycogen, linking paternal androgen imbalance to liver issues across generations.

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 hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis in adolescents, with androgen levels correlating more strongly with body size and composition in boys than girls.

This review discusses clinical features, differential diagnosis, and treatments for female pattern hair loss, emphasizing the use of 2% topical Minoxidil and exploring alternative off-label therapies.

This systematic review found that cinnamon supplementation may modestly improve insulin sensitivity and potentially reduce hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS, but stresses the need for large-scale clinical trials.

This case report describes a 48-year-old woman with a history of PCOS and chemotherapy-induced menopause who was found to have a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor causing postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

The authors describe a case of syncope in a young man after using high strength topical minoxidil, which resolved when he stopped the treatment, highlighting a rare documented reaction.

This study reported that exogenous R-spondin-1 can restore hair follicle neogenesis in adult mouse cells, highlighting differences in gene expression and signaling pathways between fetal and adult dermal papilla cells.

In this study, the researchers found that glucocorticoid receptor activation may influence glucose metabolism, with preventive GR antagonist treatment reducing hyperglycemia and restoring glucose tolerance in a PCOS mouse model.

In this study, hirsutism was the most prevalent skin manifestation among women with PCOS, and a significant association was observed between certain skin changes and hormonal abnormalities such as insulin resistance and elevated prolactin levels.

This study found that women with PCOS reported higher overall psychological distress, but there was no significant link between their perceived hirsutism and this distress.

This study found that vitamin D deficiency in patients with alopecia areata was associated with greater disease severity and longer duration, but not with disease pattern or vitamin D receptor expression.

In this study, Polygonum multiflorum Radix promoted hair growth in mice, with oral administration being more effective, likely through FGF-7, while topical application favored SHH-related mechanisms.

This practical guide introduces methods to study human dermal white adipose tissue but does not report new clinical results, emphasizing available techniques and staining protocols.

The document concludes that there are still unknowns about the effectiveness, risks, and detection of performance-enhancing drugs, and doping remains a challenge.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma might support brain health by enhancing glial cell function and modulating immune responses in inflammation, indicating potential as a treatment for brain disorders.

In this study, bicalutamide at low doses was not linked to significant liver enzyme changes compared to other androgen-blocking treatments in transfeminine adolescents and young adults, suggesting its safety with careful monitoring for this population over one year.

In this study, managing laryngectomy patients during the COVID-19 pandemic requires special precautions due to their unique respiratory challenges, emphasizing the need for protective equipment and postponement of non-essential procedures to reduce infection risks for patients and health care providers.

This study found that patients with RASopathies demonstrated lower levels of serum IgA and CD8 T cells compared to controls, potentially indicating an increased risk of developing autoimmune disorders.
