This publication presents a library of precision geometric medicines that reportedly kill harmful bacteria and fungi while sparing beneficial organisms, using a delivery system that targets pathogens specifically and avoids ecological harm.

In this case report, a three-generation family with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome showed a heterozygous PTCH1 splice-donor variant associated with the disease, and two affected relatives benefited from individualized, side-effect-guided dosing of the drug sonidegib, experiencing regression of basal cell carcinoma lesions.

This review examined genetic factors in 46, XY differences/disorders of sex development and found that whole-exome sequencing is more effective than panel sequencing for molecular diagnosis. It identified regional genetic variation and emphasized next-generation sequencing's role in detecting variants related to gonadal and androgen-related genes.

In this study of transgender and gender-diverse adults, the researchers observed that one-third of those on psychotropic medications within two years of starting hormone therapy experienced psychotropic polypharmacy, with a significantly higher likelihood of potential drug-hormone interactions in this group.

This study of monozygotic transgender male twins observed that consistent hormone therapy led to physical changes such as deepening voice and increased facial/body hair, with no reported mood-related adverse effects.

This review summarizes evidence and adverse event management recommendations for Sacituzumab Govitecan in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, emphasizing favorable survival data from clinical trials.

This study developed BroadAMP-GPT, a computational-experimental framework, to discover new antimicrobial peptides, identifying candidates effective against multidrug-resistant pathogens. Notably, AMP_S13 showed strong stability, low toxicity, and efficacy in infection models, highlighting the platform's potential in combating antimicrobial resistance.

In this study, whole-genome sequencing of Lanping black-boned sheep identified ERBB4 and ROR1 genes as potentially important in their distinctive hyperpigmentation, enhancing understanding of their genetic evolution from Lanping normal sheep.

This study found that GnRH-a treatment or orchiectomy, which required significantly lower doses of oral estradiol valerate, were more effective than anti-androgens like spironolactone and finasteride in achieving target hormone levels in transgender females in India.

This study suggests that using a dermoscope, a handheld microscope, can effectively help distinguish between Pityrosporum folliculitis and Acne vulgaris by revealing unique lesion characteristics that are not visible to the naked eye, offering a practical diagnostic alternative when KOH examinations are unavailable.

In this study, the researchers found that using dragon fruit peel extract in a gray hair dye formulation, along with specific adjuvants, produced a dark black color on gray hair, demonstrating its potential as a natural colorant alternative to synthetic dyes.

This case report suggests that nonsynchronized segmented heterochromia in black scalp hair in a 14-year-old girl may represent premature greying unrelated to deficiencies in iron, copper, zinc, or protein.

This study reported the first paleogenomic data from Korea, revealing genetic diversity in ancient Koreans from the Gimhae region, with evidence of admixture between northern-Chinese Iron Age populations and Japanese-Jomon-related ancestry.

This study established a murine chronic graft-versus-host disease model with scleroderma features, showing typical skin changes and cellular infiltrates associated with the condition.

This study found that transgenic mice expressing cgVEGF164 had increased hair follicle diameter and density, potentially linked to higher phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2, AKT1, and LEF1 proteins.

This review examined the psychological effects, mechanisms, health associations, and treatments related to premature hair graying, highlighting factors like genetics, oxidative stress, smoking, and diet, with the aim of enhancing understanding and addressing its broader implications.

In this case report, a 34-year-old man with Graves' disease experienced the rare simultaneous occurrence of depigmented skin spots (vitiligo) and recurrent alopecia areata, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of autoimmune complications in such patients.

This study found that vertical sleeve gastrectomy improved metabolic, behavioral, and reproductive symptoms in a rat model of PCOS, suggesting it may be a potential therapy for specific aspects of PCOS.

This study describes a planned multicenter randomized controlled trial to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of subdermal gestrinone pellets in patients with deep infiltrative endometriosis-related pelvic pain, but it does not report any findings yet.

This study observed that gender-affirming hormone therapy differentially affects metabolism in mice, with the specific metabolic impacts dependent on the type of hormonal treatment used.

This review assessed the role of scalp hair Survivin protein in individuals with premature graying, exploring its potential involvement in graying-related processes and highlighting its overexpression in autoimmune diseases that may influence the survival of specific immune cell clones.

This study reported that treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs and cross-sex hormones appears appropriate for carefully selected youth with gender dysphoria, but long-term safety needs further investigation.

This review highlights how the development of forensic DNA phenotyping systems like IrisPlex, HIrisPlex, and HIrisPlex-S has advanced criminal investigation by accurately predicting physical traits such as eye, hair, and skin color from DNA, thereby improving the precision and relevance of forensic applications.

A woman with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease developed lupus-like skin lesions, improved with treatment, suggesting a unique skin condition in carriers.

This study evaluated green tea extract-loaded spanlastic formulations and found that a vesicle builder to edge activator ratio of 8:2 produced optimal characteristics, including a particle size of 419.70 nm, an entrapment efficiency of 60.85%, and a drug loading of 11.07%.

This study reports that sacituzumab govitecan achieved a 33.3% overall response rate in patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who had prior treatments, with a median response duration of 7.7 months.

This study successfully established a transgenic sheep fibroblast cell line expressing the spider dragline silk protein gene, laying groundwork for developing transgenic sheep with this capability in hair follicles.

This study explores premature graying of hair, outlining potential causes such as genetic factors, nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune disorders, and evaluates various management strategies including nutritional supplements, pharmacotherapy, and addressing underlying conditions.

This study reports that hedgehog pathway inhibitors, sonidegib and vismodegib, showed distinct adverse event patterns in real-world data, suggesting the need for further research to confirm these findings.
