research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Overweight and Obesity in Children and Adolescents
Childhood obesity is rising globally due to various factors, and early prevention and healthy lifestyle changes are crucial.
research Evidence-Based and Potential Benefits of Metformin in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
Metformin helps with menstrual cycles and insulin levels in PCOS but is less effective for hair growth, diabetes prevention, and weight loss, and may improve fertility and reduce diabetes risk.
research The Dynamics of the Skin’s Immune System
The skin has a complex immune system that is essential for protection and healing, requiring more research for better wound treatment.
research Recent Understandings of Biology, Prophylaxis, and Treatment Strategies for Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids
The document concludes that the understanding of scar formation is incomplete and current prevention and treatment for hypertrophic scars and keloids are not fully effective.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin

The Endocrine Society advised against routine testosterone therapy for women, citing a need for more research on long-term safety and a clear definition of androgen deficiency.
research Deletion of DNA Binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor Abrogates Genomic and Nongenomic Functions of Vitamin D
Removing part of the vitamin D receptor stops vitamin D from working properly.
research Recent Advances in Electrospun Nanofibers for Wound Healing
New nanofiber technology improves wound healing by supporting cell growth and delivering treatments directly to the wound.
research Teriflunomide and Its Mechanism of Action in Multiple Sclerosis
Teriflunomide helps reduce multiple sclerosis symptoms and is safe for most patients.
research Interrelation of Immunity and Tissue Repair or Regeneration
The immune system plays a key role in tissue repair, affecting both healing quality and regenerative ability.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: A Reappraisal: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
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.
research The Pathophysiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Insulin resistance is a key factor in polycystic ovary syndrome, but genetics may also contribute.
research Transforming Growth Factor-Beta in Stem Cells and Tissue Homeostasis
TGF-β is crucial for tissue repair and can cause diseases if not properly regulated.
research Towards a Molecular Understanding of Hair Loss and Its Treatment
