This review discusses recent data on the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids and other steroid compounds and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that mice lacking the Vitamin D receptor showed disrupted hair follicle cycling, which was partially restored with hedgehog signaling pathway activation, suggesting a role for this pathway in follicle regulation independent of vitamin D.

This review discusses updated treatment guidelines for alopecia areata in Japan, highlighting new options like corticosteroid pulse therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

Researchers developed a method to detect hormone-blocking drugs in wastewater and found them in Beijing's sewage, suggesting they can survive sewage treatment.

This review discusses pharmacologic treatment options for muscle-related pain conditions and notes that there is strong evidence for the efficacy of tricyclic antidepressants and muscle relaxants in specific myofascial pain syndromes, but not universally.

This review discusses the variety of skin disorders associated with atopic dermatitis, exploring their complex relationships and shared genetic and environmental factors, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that chronic stress can lead to decreased skin pigmentation in mice by disrupting the skin's HPA axis, potentially making stress a risk factor for depigmentation.

This study found that selective deletion of Ctip2 in epidermal keratinocytes in adult mice leads to atopic dermatitis-like inflammation and suggests Ctip2 plays a crucial role in skin barrier maintenance and inflammatory regulation.

In this retrospective study, cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was found to be generally safe and led to mild feminizing effects, with more rapid feminization occurring when combined with estrogens.

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.

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 study found that adiponectin significantly enhanced lipid production in human sebaceous glands and may be a potential target for treating conditions with reduced sebum production.

This study found that despite the persistence of aberrant double-negative T-cells, functional immune-competence was maintained after thymic transplantation in a patient with a rare FOXN1 mutation.

In this study, patients with seasonal affective disorder were found to have increased functional connectivity in certain brain networks and higher low-frequency fluctuations compared to healthy controls, which aligns with their attentional and psychomotor symptoms.

Eating isoflavone can help mice grow hair by increasing a growth factor.

In this study, the researchers found that vitamin D and calcium signaling in keratinocytes are essential for normal skin regeneration after wounding, with deficiencies significantly delaying wound closure and re-epithelialization in mice.

This study identified a weak interaction between minoxidil and ß-cyclodextrin in solution, forming an inclusion complex with a 1:1 molar ratio.

This study found that topical application of niacin derivatives significantly increased hair fullness in women with female pattern hair loss compared to a placebo after six months.

This study found similarities in the regeneration processes of MRL mouse ears and axolotl limbs, involving G2 cell cycle arrest and nerve-dependent mitosis, but the role of p21 in axolotl limb regeneration remains uncertain.

This study identified three candidate genes (CORT, FGF5, and CD36) associated with cold climate adaptation in Yanbian cattle through genome resequencing and comparison with African tropical cattle.

This review discusses the potential roles of calcium in the regulation of pluripotent and tissue-specific stem cells but reports no new experimental results, highlighting areas for future research.

This study demonstrates that locally synthesized estrogen and androgen neurosteroids play opposite roles in long-term synaptic changes in male rats' medial vestibular nucleus, with testosterone-dihydrotestosterone mediating long-term depression and 17β-estradiol mediating long-term potentiation.

This case report describes an elderly multiple myeloma patient whose hair repigmentation was associated with lenalidomide use, suggesting hair graying may be reversible.

This study concludes that rhesus macaques are a suitable model for testing the pharmacological properties of finasteride and other 5aR inhibitors, due to their biochemical similarity to humans.

This review examines the role of cyclodextrins in improving the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of steroid drugs but does not report new experimental findings.

This study found that C57BL/6 mice with a diet containing specific levels of vitamin A showed alterations in retinoid metabolism and increased frequency of cicatricial alopecias, suggesting dietary factors may play a role in this condition.

In this study, researchers found that impaired cholesterol biosynthesis in hair follicles may trigger an inflammatory immune response linked to primary cicatricial alopecia, providing new insights into the disorder's pathogenesis.

This study found that certain keratin gene mutations associated with pachyonychia congenita are linked to altered enamel structure and increased risk of dental caries.

This study examined the structural and biochemical mechanisms of human lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, detailing substrate and product binding processes at the catalytic site and suggesting potential for drug delivery targeting hydrophobic molecules.

In this study, adipose-derived stem cells from superficial adipose tissue showed higher regenerative potential, and more macrophages were found in superficial than deep adipose tissue, potentially influenced by skin microbiota.
