This study found that four days of simulated night shift work in healthy adults reduced insulin sensitivity, suggesting a potential increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

This review discusses the use of testosterone therapy for low libido in women, noting mixed evidence on breast cancer risk and a lack of long-term safety data.

In this study, researchers introduced calcium carbonate-based carriers for transdermal drug delivery, observing efficient transport of substances and systemic absorption in rats, suggesting potential applications in regenerative medicine and dermatology beyond conventional topical treatments.

This study found that finasteride at 1 mg/day was the most effective dose for treating male pattern hair loss, with similar efficacy to 5 mg/day and better results than lower doses.

This study used fibre optic confocal imaging to visualize subsurface structures in live mouse skin, revealing cellular details and blood vessel networks that dynamic events could be studied in vivo.

This study found that in Arabidopsis seedlings, tonoplast intrinsic proteins are targeted to the vacuole via at least two pathways, including pathways with differing sensitivity to a chemical inhibitor that affect root hair growth and PIN2 targeting.

This systematic review found that long COVID symptoms, particularly fatigue, sleep disorder, and dyspnoea, were similarly prevalent in ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 syndrome, but psychological issues and poor quality of life were more common in the latter.

This study found that optimizing proteomic genotyping conditions from single human hair samples significantly improves the detection of genetically variant peptides, enhancing human identification with high precision across different biogeographic backgrounds.

This study found that lowering serum DHT levels with 5 mg finasteride daily did not significantly alter serum gonadotropin levels in healthy young men after 28 days.

This review discusses androgen manipulation strategies for conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic carcinoma but reports no new clinical results.

In this case study, the authors identified a circulating low molecular weight inhibitor that may contribute to insulin resistance in a woman with acanthosis nigricans and polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that sex differences in somatostatin biosynthesis in rat hypothalamic neurons develop between postnatal day 1 and 5, influenced by the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

This study developed a faster method to analyze fatty acid ethyl esters in human hair, potentially distinguishing alcohol consumption levels more efficiently.

This study found that genetically variant peptides from human hair can reliably identify individuals despite differences in age and storage conditions, provided environmental and processing factors are controlled.

Neurosteroids may help metyrapone reduce cocaine addiction.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells are stiff with high actomyosin contractility, while hair germ progenitors are soft and enlarge during quiescence, influencing hair regeneration; inducing miR-205 reduces contractility and activates regeneration in mice.

In this study of HIV+ men with low CD4 and testosterone levels, testosterone replacement therapy significantly improved sexual interest, erectile functioning, and sexual satisfaction over an eight-week period.

This study reports on the vulnerability of hair's structural lipids to physical and chemical damage and describes properties of hair treated with a synthesized ceramide derivative.

This study demonstrated a method for delivering a photosensitizer, Ammi majus fructuum furocumarines, into hair follicles using calcium carbonate particles, followed by UVA irradiation, which led to significant pigment accumulation, indicating potential improvements for photochemical therapy.

This study found that applying minoxidil topically had no recognizable effect on hair follicle growth in newborn mice, though it highlighted apoptosis as a potential marker for hair regression research.

This review examines existing research on transdermal testosterone for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder, suggesting it improves female sexual function with minimal side effects but highlights the need for more long-term safety data.

In this study, 4‐MAPC treatment reduced ventral prostate weight in rats primarily through decreased synthetic activity, with testosterone propionate increasing prostate weight and activity at pharmacologic doses.

This review found that commercial influences may affect how male baldness is represented as a disease and how treatment options are presented, often omitting limitations.

This study observed two cases of pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma suggesting potential differing origins: one from a hair follicle's outer root sheath and another from an intradermal nevus.

In this study, a 300 mcg daily testosterone patch significantly increased satisfying sexual episodes and sexual desire in postmenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder not receiving estrogen, compared to placebo.

In this study, researchers produced a biosurfactant from yeast that effectively reduces surface tension, acts as a good oil emulsifier, demonstrates antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and exhibits no cytotoxicity, suggesting its potential use in eco-friendly cosmetic formulations.

In this study, a mixed-methods survey of 357 balding men revealed that baldness is structurally stigmatized, with many participants experiencing distress and using treatments to combat it; others resisted stigma and expressed minimal distress.

In laboratory tests, this study found that a novel natural composition targeting 5-alpha reductase and inflammatory pathways reduced disease-related markers in androgenetic alopecia and benign prostatic hyperplasia more effectively than finasteride.

This meta-analysis found that rheumatoid arthritis patients experience poorer sleep quality compared to healthy controls, including reduced total sleep time and efficiency, longer sleep latency, and increased wakefulness after sleep onset.

This study reveals that the microRNA-200 family, highly enriched in hair matrix progenitors, restricts sebaceous gland development by inhibiting the SOX9-dependent lipogenic program, highlighting its specific role in epithelial plasticity within hair follicles.
