In this prospective observational study, researchers observed that hyperthyroidism significantly affects cardiac function, often resulting in reversible cardiac changes, with echocardiography playing a crucial role in diagnosis and monitoring.

This study found that the KrasG12D mutation alters ERK signal dynamics in hair follicle stem cells, leading to tissue deformation, and suggests a collective effect of mutant cells is necessary for disruption.

This study found that Hirosaki hairless rats experience transient activation of STAT5A in the mammary glands during early lactation, involving O-GlcNAc modification rather than Tyr-phosphorylation.

In this study, activation of oncogenic K-ras in a mouse model caused the oral mucosa to rapidly progress from squamous hyperplasia to carcinoma within 14 days, demonstrating its acute sensitivity.

New cancer treatments show promise in reducing tumor growth and improving skin regeneration in mice.

This study found that in mice, EGFR activation suppresses mitotic regulators like Rcc2 and Stathmin 1, facilitating the transition to catagen in hair follicles.

In this case study, authors reported that a 43-year-old female patient initially showed persistently high testosterone levels due to immunoassay interference, later verified as normal using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), highlighting the need to consider assay artifacts in diagnosing hyperandrogenism without clinical signs.

This case report describes a 48-year-old woman with a history of PCOS and chemotherapy-induced menopause who was found to have a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor causing postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

This article critiques Huang et al. while emphasizing the critical role of the Wnt signaling pathway and M2 tumor-associated macrophages in liver cancer progression, and suggests targeting the Wnt pathway could offer therapeutic benefits.

This study identified a novel missense MAFB variant in a family with some unaffected members, suggesting incomplete penetrance and the potential influence of modifier genes, epigenetic mechanisms, or environmental factors on MCTO phenotype.

This review analyzes 873 cases of female hyperandrogenism, primarily attributing it to polycystic ovarian syndrome, and explores sample testing for suspected neoplasms but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with androgenic alopecia and progressive hirsutism who, despite normal imaging, had significantly elevated testosterone due to a Leydig cell tumor, revealed after surgical exploration; the condition improved post-surgery, underscoring the importance of considering such tumors in similar presentations.

This study suggests that in mice, plasmalogens may enhance hair growth by activating TRPC4 channels, which increases calcium influx and subsequently stimulates AMPK in hair follicles.

This study found that bursts of ERK activation in the epidermis of mice were linked to cell division, supporting synchronized cell proliferation and transient ERK activity in living tissues.

In this study, the researchers found that optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) is involved in the transition between filamentous and rounded mitochondria in hair follicle dermal papilla cells, potentially influencing cellular energy dynamics.

In this study, activating TRPV1 nociceptors in mice skin stimulated dormant hair follicles and promoted hair growth through a mechanism involving dermal macrophages, fibroblasts, and neuropeptides, highlighting a new role for nociceptors in tissue recovery after injury.

In this study, severe hair loss occurred in PKC epsilon transgenic mice treated with DFMO during skin tumor prevention, highlighting a link between polyamine biosynthesis, hair follicle maintenance, and metastasis suppression.

This case report described a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism whose symptoms improved after a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, revealing bilateral ovarian hyperthecosis.

This study found that patients with the MITF p.E318K variant are more likely to develop multiple primary melanomas and dysplastic nevi with uncommon dermoscopic patterns compared to non-carriers.

This letter to the editor discusses excessive hair growth observed around local β-interferon injection sites for malignant melanoma but reports no new clinical results.

This paper discusses four rare causes of hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the importance of detailed biochemical testing and invasive diagnostic tools when imaging fails to identify ovarian tumors.

This study demonstrated that dominant mutations in mouse gasdermin A3 disrupt mitochondrial oxidative stress regulation, suggesting a gain-of-function effect on epidermal differentiation.

This study reported that an HS-associated NCSTN mutation in iPSC-derived skin organoids led to altered hair follicle stem cell differentiation and increased expression of proteins linked to HS inflammation.

In this study, researchers observed that dormant TRP-2+ melanoma cells in bone marrow can interact with CD8+ T cells in tumor-bearing ret transgenic mice, potentially influencing immune responses.

This review discusses the effects of mineralocorticoid receptor overexpression in mice skin, reporting no new data but highlighting its link to epidermal atrophy, early barrier formation, eye issues, and hair loss.

This study found that c-Maf positive M2 macrophages may promote hypertrophic scar formation by enhancing the proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix deposition of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts through increased TGF-β1 expression.

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 mitochondrial reactive oxygen species are crucial for normal epidermal differentiation and hair follicle growth, as demonstrated by impaired development in mice lacking these signals due to a keratinocyte-specific TFAM deficiency.

This case study describes a 15-year-old girl with a Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor who showed high androgen levels and steroidogenic responses similar to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome before surgery.

In this study, activation of Tgr5 was found to improve alopecia areata and bone microstructure in mice by down-regulating the JAK1-STAT3 signaling pathway.
