This review discusses the current understanding of androgen biosynthesis, mechanisms of action, and their roles in human biology, as well as related congenital and acquired disorders, but it reports no new research findings.

This study found that fibromodulin significantly reduces scar formation and boosts scar strength in rodent and porcine models, suggesting potential for FMOD-based therapies in cutaneous wound repair.

Metformin should be used for PCOS mainly in those with glucose intolerance, and has limited benefits for infertility or hirsutism.

This study found that metformin treatment during pregnancy in women with PCOS was associated with higher SHBG levels in newborns, but did not affect androgen or estrogen levels at birth.

This study found that dual 5α-reductase inhibition in rats led to decreased sperm motility and altered morphology, resulting in subfertility.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and physiological regulation of neuroactive steroids, focusing on their varied responses to stress and ethanol in rats, mice, and humans, but it reports no new findings.

This review discusses normal menstrual variations and common menstrual disorders in adolescent girls, focusing on symptoms, evaluation, and management, but does not present new clinical results.

This study reported that the most common hair loss disorder among children in south-east Nigeria was tinea capitis, and its clinical course was influenced by parental attitudes towards treatment.

This study found that hair diameter increases toward the scalp during pregnancy, a novel observation compared to the normal decrease seen in nonpregnant women.

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 reviews the complexity and diverse manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting potential genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors in its pathogenesis without presenting new clinical findings.

In this study, mouse amnion epithelium was successfully transformed into skin and hair follicles when associated with hair-forming dermis, revealing the necessity of specific influences for follicle formation.

This study found that women with PCOS were more likely to have longer anogenital distances, indicating possible intrauterine origins linked to prenatal androgen exposure.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes A and B had the highest prevalence of metabolic syndrome, and that the visceral adiposity index may help predict metabolic risk.

This study demonstrates that FMOD deficiency in mice alters TGF-β ligand and receptor expression during wound healing stages, leading to delayed wound closure and increased scar size.

The study found that among young Brazilian women, the likelihood of metabolic syndrome in those with PCOS is strongly associated with BMI and the phenotype involving menstrual irregularity and hyperandrogenism.

This review discusses recent advancements in generating appendage-bearing skin organoids from pluripotent stem cells and their potential applications in dermatological research, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of microRNAs in skin function and potential therapeutic applications, emphasizing their importance in wound healing and disease management, though it reports no new experimental findings.

This study reported that in rat retinas under high pressure, allopregnanolone synthesis increased and helped reduce pressure-induced damage through GABAA receptors, suggesting potential therapeutic use in glaucoma.

This study suggests that canonical BMP signaling, particularly involving Smad1 and Smad5, plays a critical role in hair follicle stem cell regulation and hair morphogenesis, with distinct roles from pSmad8.

This study found that male pattern baldness and a history of severe acne were inversely associated with testicular germ cell tumors, while taller height showed a positive association.

This review discusses the role of LPA(3) in embryo implantation and its genetic connection with prostaglandin signaling, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the challenges in diagnosing non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia and emphasizes personalized treatment approaches, reporting no new clinical results.

This article reviews the clinical and histological features of acanthosis nigricans and its associations with insulin resistance and other conditions, but highlights the need for more research on its classification, severity assessment, and treatment options.

This article reviews current treatment options for acne, hirsutism, and androgenetic alopecia in women with PCOS, recommending individualized and multidisciplinary approaches, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that BAF200, a subunit of the PBAF chromatin remodeling complex, is crucial for heart development and coronary artery formation in mice, as its absence led to embryonic lethality with severe cardiac defects.

This review discusses the effects of thyroid hormone on the skin and explores the potential for using it to treat skin diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This review explores the significant impacts of hormonal changes within normal physiological ranges and suggests examining low-dose effects from chemicals disrupting hormonal activity; it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that certain endocrine factors, influenced by smoking, birth order, and frequency of orgasms, may play an important role in the development of male breast cancer.

This article reviews the genetic and psychological aspects of androgenetic alopecia in men and women, reporting no new clinical findings while emphasizing the broad impact of this hair loss condition.
