This study found that increased PSA levels in women with hyperandrogenism may serve as a diagnostic marker, comparable to free testosterone levels.

This study demonstrated that cryogelation of human hair keratin allows the development of 3D scaffolds with tunable properties, supporting cell adhesion and proliferation for potential biomedical applications.

Keratin-based hydrogels from human hair and wool are promising for wound dressings and are more eco-friendly.

This study identified trilauric glyceride and decanoylcarnitine as potential biomarkers for diagnosing PCOS in patients with and without insulin resistance, suggesting significant metabolic alterations in these conditions.

In this study, normal weight adolescents with PCOS showed increased insulin resistance and significantly lower levels of high molecular weight adiponectin compared to controls, despite no other metabolic differences.

This review discusses various potential adverse effects of common oral vitamin and mineral supplements used in dermatology and highlights lesser-known issues like hematologic and neurologic effects from zinc.

This article reviews drug-induced pigmentation and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting difficulty in confirming drug associations due to factors like delayed onset and polypharmacy.

This study found that women with nonscarring alopecia had lower ferritin levels compared to women without the condition.

This review discusses the evaluation of hyperandrogenemia in women and hypogonadism in men across different life stages and presents biomarkers used for diagnosing male hypogonadism, reporting no new clinical results.

This study highlights that lower testosterone in men and higher testosterone in women are linked to increased risks of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, with associated skin diseases indicating potential cardiovascular complications.

This study reviews iron metabolism in the skin, highlighting how differentially expressed genes regulate iron recycling in the epidermis, and discusses changes in iron metabolism related to skin diseases.

This study retrospectively analyzed 3028 patients with telogen effluvium, finding that 6.2% had iron deficiency anemia and vitamin D deficiency was common, especially in women who were more often prescribed vitamin D therapy.

This study observed that zinc deficiency in humans and mice was associated with diminished allergic contact dermatitis but increased severity and duration of irritant contact dermatitis.

This review discusses trichotillomania, its diagnosis, prevalence, potential brain abnormalities, and current treatment options, and offers no new clinical findings.

This study found that the reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) most frequently indicated iron deficiency in female patients with diffuse non-scarring hair loss.

This pilot study found no significant relationship between blood and hair mineral concentrations in generally healthy adults, though hair analysis may have potential for assessing long-term mineral trends.

In this study, dermoscopy was suggested as a potentially useful tool for improving the clinical recognition of pilomatricoma.

Bath PUVA therapy works well for a skin condition without as many cancer risks and is cheaper, and iron deficiency might not cause female hair loss.

In this study, the addition of a topical gel containing growth-factor mimicking oligopeptides and other ingredients showed improved efficacy in subjects with androgenic alopecia using minoxidil or finasteride compared to drug treatment alone.

This study highlighted the potential of iron chelators, deferoxamine and deferiprone, to improve hair density, thickness, and elasticity and reduce hair loss by up to 66.8% over six months in individuals with autoimmune alopecia, suggesting they may offer a promising therapeutic option.

This study reported that the Fe@C/CB electrocatalyst effectively detected Metol in water samples with a low detection limit, high sensitivity, and good stability, suggesting it as a promising tool for environmental monitoring.

This study found that CI-1033 caused skin lesions in rats that resemble effects seen in humans receiving EGF receptor inhibitors, suggesting this animal model can help explore the mechanisms behind this cutaneous toxicity.

This study analyzed the genetics of the patchiness phenotype in New Zealand rabbits and found that the gene KRT82, with identified SNPs in its promoter, may serve as a potential biomarker for breeding these rabbits.

This review highlights the potential of cell-free therapies, particularly cell extracts, in addressing radiation-induced salivary gland damage from head and neck cancer treatment, emphasizing their practicality and safety compared to traditional therapies despite incomplete understanding of their bioactive components.

This study suggests that perforin/granzyme-B might play a role in the interaction of sex hormones in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that forming inclusion complexes of DPCP with HPβCD using the 3D ground mixture method enhances its anti-inflammatory activity at lower doses compared to complexes with β-CD.

This study found that among women with PCOS, higher HOMA-IR levels were associated with acanthosis nigricans, and increased DHEA-SO4, FAI, and FI values were linked to hirsutism.

This study suggests that low serum iron and ferritin levels may be associated with telogen effluvium in patients presenting with hair loss.

This study found that one-third of females with acne and PCOS also showed insulin resistance, suggesting that women with these conditions should be evaluated for impaired glucose tolerance.

In this study, hyperandrogenemia was observed in 78.2% of Greek women with polycystic ovary syndrome, with testosterone being the most commonly elevated androgen and acne the most frequent clinical feature.
