This study reports a case of an ovarian steroid cell tumor with malignant potential, presenting unusually with osteopenia and low weight instead of the expected virilizing symptoms.

This study found that gonadal dysfunction is very common in premenopausal women with acromegaly and may be caused by hyperprolactinemia, GH/IGF-I excess, or tumor effects.

This case report describes a patient with sarcoidosis who experienced severe symptomatic hypercalcemia, scarring alopecia, and acute-on-chronic kidney failure.

This study suggests that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, which is essential for periodontal ligament homeostasis under occlusal hypofunction conditions.

This study found that cultured outer root sheath cells from human hair follicles expressed a keratin profile similar to their in vivo environment, indicating environmental influence on keratin expression.

In this case study, a 15-year-old obese boy was diagnosed with acanthosis nigricans and hair casts in the axillae, with Wood's lamp and dermoscopic examination revealing specific features, yet fungal infection was ruled out through a negative KOH test.

In this case report, a 10-year-old girl with an adrenal adenoma experienced symptoms like hirsutism and clitoromegaly; after surgical removal of the tumor, her symptoms and biochemical abnormalities resolved over several months.

Tissue expansion is a useful method for reconstructive surgery with good results and room for further enhancement.

This case report describes a woman with hypertension, alopecia, and other symptoms, revealing that her condition was due to ovarian hyperthecosis, highlighting the overlap of adrenal and ovarian disorders.

This case study reports a new variant of chronic dermatophytosis with giant cutaneous horns, suggesting a possible genetic link and highlighting successful treatment with antifungal medications.

This study found that a high-energy shock wave can increase osteogenic activities in human mesenchymal cells, offering insights into potential therapeutic targets for trauma-induced heterotopic ossification.

This study highlights the role of Orai1 in ameloblast differentiation and maturation, showing that its down-regulation affects cell proliferation and enamel formation during tooth development.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type 1 and a rare non-ossifying fibroma in her femur, suggesting a potential link between the genetic condition and bone lesions.

This review discusses the cell biological characteristics of the outer root sheath of normal human hair follicles and highlights some similarities and differences with trichilemmal tumors, but reports no new results.

This study found that patients with hidradenitis suppurativa had lower trabecular bone score and total hip bone mineral density compared to controls, with a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency.

Hirsutism and acanthosis nigricans are important for diagnosing PCOS; dermatologists play a key role in early detection and treatment.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher serum Osteopontin levels, which were positively associated with metabolic syndrome components, suggesting a potential role in its pathogenesis.

This report describes a 27-year-old patient with Ehler-Danlos syndrome who also presented with hypophosphatasia and mastocytosis, and suggests enzyme replacement therapy might alleviate symptoms in such overlapping genetic conditions.

This study found that polycystic ovary syndrome was the most common cause of hirsutism among premenopausal Algerian women, affecting nearly 60% of participants.

This study found that hyperbaric oxygen treatment in rats led to structural changes in epidermis and dermis, including decreased E-cadherin expression and increased connective tissue.

This article proposes a novel hypothesis that androgenetic alopecia may be mainly caused by skull bone expansion affecting blood supply to hair follicles rather than differences in individual follicle programming, and calls for more genetic research into skull development.

This case study reported that sudden hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women may indicate hormonally active ovarian tumors such as Leydig cell tumors, which can be effectively treated with surgery.

This report describes a complex case of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism with virilization and concurrent rare ovarian tumors, highlighting the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in diagnosing and managing such challenging scenarios.

This review highlights that idiopathic hirsutism is characterized by local hyperandrogenization affecting hair growth, without other signs of hyperandrogenism, and shows no new results; racial differences in prevalence are noted but not in androgenic steroids.

The researchers reported that in nonmelanoma skin cancers, the expression of osteopontin splice variants is significantly higher compared to normal skin, with OPN-a elevated in basal cell carcinoma more than OPN-c.

This report describes a case of widespread Porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus in a 15-year-old woman with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome, involving both eccrine ostia and hair follicle infundibula.

This case study reported hyperandrogenism in non-obese triplet sisters with one sister's hyperthyroidism masking its clinical and biochemical signs until treatment increased her androgen levels and hirsutism.

This case report describes a 57-year-old Japanese male with a folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma containing unusual hair shaft fragments, providing insight into its characteristic histological features.

This study found that the cosmetic olfactory receptor agonist cyclohexyl salicylate may stimulate hair growth and expand stem cell progeny, suggesting potential as a cosmetic adjuvant for hair loss.
