This review discusses hormonal treatment strategies for both binary and non-binary transgender people, highlighting the need for personalized approaches and the importance of future research on long-term outcomes.

This article discusses the impact of hyperandrogenism in polycystic ovary syndrome on women's physical and mental health, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This article discusses various aspects of hair and scalp health, ancient philosophical perspectives on hair, and causes of hair disorders in children, without reporting new clinical results.

This study reported that women with acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance often exhibit signs of hyperandrogenism, including hirsutism, and have elevated fasting plasma insulin compared to controls.

This study found that in Pomeranians with Alopecia X, key genes in the Wnt and Shh signaling pathways and stem cell markers are downregulated, which may explain the absence of anagen hair follicles.

This review discusses the role of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in regulating stem cell fate and highlights their potential as targets for addressing hair loss, without reporting new clinical results.

This study suggests that phytochemicals from natural sources could be safer alternatives to conventional treatments for hair loss, as they may activate key pathways involved in hair growth.

Female Pattern Hair Loss affects women's quality of life, with limited treatment options and a need for more research.

This review explores the potential of exosomes, which contain substances that may stimulate hair follicle activity, as a new therapeutic strategy for alopecia, and discusses their possible benefits and risks based on current knowledge of microRNAs and intracellular signaling in hair follicle morphogenesis.

In this study, neurotrophic factors, synaptic plasticity, and neurogenesis changed in the hippocampus of rats during pregnancy, lactation, and pup deprivation, potentially influencing maternal care.

This review discusses the challenges and considerations in managing transgender patients in critical care, noting gaps in current medical curricula and suggesting improvements in education.

In this review, the researchers highlighted the prevalent symptoms in cirrhosis patients, including pain, muscle cramps, sleep disturbances, and mental health issues, and emphasized the need for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach for symptom management to improve quality of life.

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 review highlights the dermatological needs of transgender and gender diverse individuals in Australia, emphasizing the role of dermatologists in managing skin and hair conditions related to gender affirmation and hormone therapy.

This chapter discusses the potential therapeutic applications of Botulinum toxin for various non-cosmetic skin conditions, such as acne, rosacea, and hyperhidrosis, highlighting case reports and some randomized controlled trials that indicate promise in alleviating discomfort, inflammation, and excessive sweating.

This study found that testosterone increased seizure severity in mice and rats, with its neurosteroid metabolites playing a role in modulating seizure susceptibility.

In this study, significant elevations of DHA and testosterone were associated with pubic hair development and voice changes in boys during puberty.

This study found that exposing seasonally anestrous mares to extended light periods led to the earlier onset of endocrinologically normal estrous cycles, potentially allowing earlier breeding and foaling.

This study found that topical estradiol inhibits hair growth in mice by preventing the hair follicle's transition from resting to growth phase, a process reversible with an estrogen receptor antagonist.

This study found that testosterone modulates vascular cell behavior through direct actions that do not rely on its conversion to estradiol.

This study found that low doses of leuprolide effectively suppressed serum estradiol and LH response, while higher doses were needed to suppress testosterone and reduce hair growth in hirsute women.

This study found that oral estradiol was generally effective in achieving target 17-β estradiol levels in transgender women, but often failed to suppress testosterone adequately, with variability in individual responses.

In this retrospective study, cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was found to be generally safe and led to mild feminizing effects, with more rapid feminization occurring when combined with estrogens.

This report describes a case of meningioma in a transwoman treated long-term with estradiol and cyproterone acetate, suggesting possible concern over female sex steroids and meningioma risk.

This study found that the effectiveness of 17-beta-estradiol in inhibiting hair growth depends on its application method, and noted significant sex differences in response to 17-alpha-estradiol in male and female mice.

This study found that early treatment with estradiol or dihydrotestosterone significantly reduced prostate adenocarcinoma development in Lobund-Wistar rats, while later treatments were ineffective.

This study concluded that exposing anestrous brood mares to a 16-hour photoperiod in early December led to endocrinologically normal estrous cycles starting within two months, enabling earlier breeding and foaling.

In this study, high concentrations of dihydrotestosterone and testosterone reduced the growth of human hair follicle cells in vitro, while high estradiol levels increased their growth.

This study found that dutasteride completely suppressed the formation of 5alpha-dihydro metabolites in cultured human skin cells, suggesting its potential use in acne and androgenetic alopecia.

This study found weak to very weak correlations between estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone levels in the cerebrospinal fluid and serum of males without cerebral disorders.
