This review refutes several myths about testosterone therapy in women and suggests that testosterone is beneficial for both physical and mental health, though its safety in women continues to be researched.

In this study, a modified Ferriman-Galwey score greater than 4 was found to be effective for diagnosing hirsutism in Asian women, highlighting key areas such as the upper lip, thighs, and lower abdomen.

This study concluded that hair follicle hyperplasia found in pseudolymphomatous folliculitis can also occur in genuine cutaneous lymphomas, potentially as a coincidental result of underlying pathological processes.

This review discusses the definition, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of hirsutism and reports no new clinical results.

This study describes the otolaryngologic manifestations and multidisciplinary management strategies for 12 patients with ectodermal dysplasia, emphasizing the importance of early recognition for effective treatment.

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 review highlights essential preoperative assessments for ophthalmologists and non-oculo-facial surgeons performing upper facial rejuvenation, emphasizing the importance of understanding ocular and periocular anatomy to achieve both cosmetic and functional improvements.

This article examines the role and composition of integral hair lipids in forming a protective barrier similar to the skin's epidermal lipid layer and reports no new findings about their effects.

In this study, a methanol extract of Eclipta alba was found to have dose-dependent hair growth-promoting activity in C57BL6 mice.

This review discusses contemporary issues in syphilis diagnosis and management, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing both biomedical and psychosocial aspects, but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that serum calcium, serum ferritin, and vitamin D3 levels were lower in students with premature graying of hair compared to controls, suggesting a potential role in the condition.

Hairless mice lack fur due to a genetic mutation affecting skin response, not hormone issues.

This review discusses the interplay between epilepsy and reproductive endocrine disorders, examining the factors involved and emphasizing the importance of monitoring but reports no new research findings.

This study found that high levels of parathyroid hormone-related protein expression can result in the production of shorter hair shafts, likely through effects on angiogenesis.

Losartan can cause temporary loss of taste.

This article states that hormone therapy with estrogens and antiandrogens for transgender females is within an obstetrician-gynecologist's practice scope and involves careful dosing and monitoring to manage short-term thrombotic risks.

This study found that women with PCOS were more likely to have longer anogenital distances, indicating possible intrauterine origins linked to prenatal androgen exposure.

This study found that in Japanese male patients with androgenetic alopecia, dutasteride 0.5 mg daily over 52 weeks was associated with improvements in hair growth and appearance, with reported adverse events mostly mild.

This study observed that in primary extramammary Paget disease, carcinoma commonly spreads to significant depths along hair follicles and eccrine ducts, with a maximal depth of 3.6 mm.

This article discusses the development of a transdermal testosterone patch for postmenopausal women to deliver physiological testosterone levels but reports no new clinical results, highlighting a need for long-term safety data.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the Eda pathway's role in developmental biology, and highlights ongoing trials and areas for further research, including Eda's potential involvement in cell processes and disease.

Finasteride can cause one-sided breast enlargement, which disappears after stopping the drug.

This study found that a cocktail of three proteins from embryonic skin can enable adult fibroblasts to regenerate hair follicles by altering gene expression and activating regenerative signaling pathways.

In this study, topical tofacitinib significantly increased hair regrowth in mice compared to minoxidil or vehicle, potentially due to elevated VEGF levels and reduced inflammation.

In this study, Wnt-10b was found to promote hair follicle development and hair growth in cultured mouse embryonic skin and transplanted skin in nude mice.

This study identified 12 new genes associated with the hair follicle and various stages of the hair cycle in mice, which could lead to novel targets for hair growth or depilation therapies.

This study identified numerous size polymorphisms in the human ultrahigh sulfur KAP4 genes due to intragenic sequence variations, suggesting these polymorphisms may have arisen through deletions and duplications during evolution.

This study found that protease nexin-1 mRNA is expressed in human dermal papilla cells and is downregulated by dihydrotestosterone in balding scalp, suggesting a role in male-pattern baldness progression.

This review describes current medical and surgical treatments for transgender men, highlighting the effectiveness and general tolerability of hormone treatment, and suggesting that surgical benefits often surpass associated risks, although it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses how neuroendocrine pathways influence keratin regulation in human skin and hair follicles and suggests these pathways as potential targets for new treatments of skin disorders, but reports no clinical results.
