In this study, researchers identified two potential urinary biomarkers, testosterone–glucuronide and 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, along with four candidate biomarkers, to help understand and diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study reported on 23 medicinal plant species used in Ben M'hidi, El-Tarf, Algeria, providing ethnobotanical insights into their traditional therapeutic applications.

This study found that chronic administration of finasteride affected the isotopic composition of testosterone and nandrolone metabolites, impacting the drug-testing outcomes in athletic contexts.

This study found that hair thickness and density increased after treatment with human follicle mesenchymal stem cells and platelet rich plasma, associated with enhanced Wnt signaling and platelet derived growth factors.

This study found that a new analytical approach revealed an increased brain pregnenolone level following finasteride treatment in a mouse model, suggesting potential for improved understanding of neurosteroid roles in brain excitability.

This study developed and validated a Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detection method for assessing minoxidil, which shows good precision, accuracy, and specificity for quality control and pharmacokinetic studies.

In this study, secretomes from hypoxic mesenchymal stem cells were found to increase PDGF and reduce IL-1β gene expression in rats, potentially offering an effective topical treatment for alopecia caused by long-term fluconazole use.

This study developed a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method to detect sex hormones in health supplements from Hanoi, Vietnam, finding three out of 16 samples contained sex hormones, including banned testosterone at low levels (~0.5 mg/kg).

This paper discusses advancements in forensic hair analysis, emphasizing a novel DART–HRMS method that improves the accuracy and efficiency of detecting drug use timelines.

This review discusses the growing use of scalp hair for elemental analysis in various fields and highlights advancements in analysis techniques, including the future potential of laser ablation ICP-MS, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) significantly prevented hair loss induced by dexamethasone in a mouse model and enhanced cell proliferation in human hair follicle cells, suggesting a protective effect against stress-related hair loss.

This study surveyed patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy and found that glucocorticoid treatment commonly leads to adverse effects, particularly sleep disturbance, mood swings, and weight gain, with more severe effects reported by female patients.

This review examines how mesenchymal stem cells and their derivatives may enhance skin regeneration and rejuvenation, but it reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest iPSC-derived MSCs hold promise for future therapies.

This paper reviews the diagnostic criteria, etiological factors, and treatment approaches for PCOS, highlighting the importance of considering metabolic issues such as insulin resistance and obesity, but reports no new findings.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding and managing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including improvements in screening, diagnostics, and potential genetic and cell-based treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that women with PCOS have elevated serum androgen levels throughout adulthood, with these levels decreasing and variations increasing as they approach menopause.

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.

The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study developed a new method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to measure multiple steroid hormones in hair, requiring significantly fewer strands than previous methods, with high accuracy and precision.

This review discusses various chromatographic methods for analyzing finasteride in biological fluids and provides no clinical findings, focusing on detection techniques for different concentration levels.

This study used a newly validated method to find that one-year finasteride treatment resulted in no significant differences in urinary androgen and prostaglandin levels between male pattern baldness patients and normal controls.

This review examines the methods and challenges in androgen laboratory diagnostics, discussing their advantages, limitations, and evolution; it presents no new experimental results.

The conclusion is that a new method can measure caffeine and drugs in hair, finding caffeine abusers have 70 times more caffeine than normal, with a proposed cut-off value for abuse.

This study investigated the phytochemical composition and antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Zaleya pentandra extracts, finding high total polyphenol and flavonoid content and significant antibacterial effects, particularly in acetone extract, which may be suitable for developing antibacterial agents.

The researchers reported that epitestosterone treatment reduced eicosanoid levels generated by cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases in rabbit liver samples with carrageenan-induced inflammation.

This review discusses the potential of targeting glucocorticoid action as a treatment strategy for obesity and type-2 diabetes, highlighting promising animal study results but reports no new clinical findings.

This study describes a new LC-MS/MS method for analyzing Finasteride and Tadalafil, demonstrating system suitability, linearity, and accuracy in pharmacokinetic studies in rats, aligning with USFDA guidelines.

This study suggests that rather than inhibiting IL-15, selectively stimulating IL-15Ra-mediated signaling could be beneficial for managing alopecia areata and possibly other inflammatory hair loss conditions, as IL-15 promoted hair growth and maintained immune privilege in human hair follicles.

This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into myogenic, osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages, although this potential decreases over time and varies by lineage.
