This study found that in male mouse pancreatic islet β cells, testosterone enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by being locally converted into dihydrotestosterone and estradiol.

This study found that college students with androgenetic alopecia exhibited higher levels of various psychological symptoms compared to those without AGA, with medical and art students showing particularly elevated symptoms.

This case report describes a patient developing hidradenitis suppurativa-like lesions after undergoing gamma secretase complex inhibitor therapy for desmoid tumours, illustrating potential skin toxicity linked to the treatment.

This study found that among women with diffuse alopecia, 47.7% exhibited psychopathological symptoms, with mixed alopecia patients showing more severe manifestations compared to those with metabolic alopecia, suggesting the need for personalized management strategies.

This research evaluated the wound healing potential of NIMO-CH, a cellulose hydrogel with indigenous microorganisms, in ICR mice and found complete wound closure with hair growth by day 18-20, suggesting it could be a viable alternative for wound care.

In this study, the NADES extract of mangkokan leaves (Polyscias scutellaria) demonstrated antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with a total flavonoid content measured at 4.944 mgEQ/gSimplisia using the disc diffusion method.

This study found that testosterone enhances insulin secretion in human pancreatic islets by being converted into DHT and E2, processes that are necessary for this effect.

In this study, aesthetic surgery significantly improved body image and psychological health; however, high preoperative body image distress predicted lower satisfaction post-surgery, highlighting the importance of psychological screening to manage expectations and outcomes.

This study found that testosterone enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in male and female human islets through its conversion to DHT and E2, a process disrupted by 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibitors.

This study found that testosterone enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in male and female human islets, requiring conversion to DHT and E2 via SRD5A1 and aromatase.

This study assessed the potential for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion power in Fiji, finding higher power output and efficiency during summer due to greater temperature differences between surface and deep sea waters.

Hair follicle samples effectively show how well the drug MK-0752 targets and engages with the Notch pathway.

This review examines hair shaft disorders, reporting limited evidence for treatments like minoxidil and oral retinoids, and emphasizes gentle hair care and genetic counseling for managing congenital cases.

This review discusses the prognosis and treatment options for hair shaft disorders, finding no studies but suggesting some disorders improve with specific treatments like minoxidil and retinoids, while gentle hair care remains essential.

This research suggests that plucked hair follicles may serve as a reliable surrogate tissue for tumor biopsies in drug development, based on a mouse model linking hair and tumor pharmacodynamic responses.

This study found that differentiated airway epithelial cells can revert into functional stem cells in vivo, suggesting a more general role for this dedifferentiation process in tissue regeneration in higher vertebrates.

The researchers reported that DHT-inducible DKK-1 may play a significant role in DHT-driven balding by inhibiting hair follicle cell growth and promoting apoptosis in androgenetic alopecia.
