This guide reviews the biology of sebaceous glands and their evaluation methods, emphasizing their roles beyond lipid production in skin health and disease, and reports no new research results.

This article discusses the role of neurohormones and neuropeptides in hair follicle pigmentation and outlines promising neuroendocrinological strategies to address greying and damage, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that free testosterone levels were a more sensitive indicator of hyperandrogenism in women with acne than total testosterone levels.

This study reports that oral spironolactone may be a useful and low-cost first-line treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa in women, with relatively few side effects.

This case report describes a patient with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome experiencing female pattern hair loss, suggesting that factors beyond direct androgen action may contribute to this condition in women.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia is the leading cause of hair loss in adolescents and may indicate endocrine disorders, emphasizing the need for accurate diagnosis.

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.

This study defined menstrual phase-specific reference intervals for circulating androgen levels in young women, highlighting that anovulatory females showed higher androgen, LH, and FSH levels compared to ovulatory females.

In this study, 68% of patients treated with finasteride showed improved hair growth in male androgenetic alopecia, compared to 38% with Serenoa repens, indicating finasteride's superior efficacy.

This review discusses the physiological changes in the female body during pregnancy, relating them to hormonal shifts, and comments on treatment considerations, but it presents no new research findings.

This study found that sebaceous glands in bald scalp have greater androgen binding affinity and capacity than those in hairy scalp, possibly contributing to the androgenic response seen in male pattern baldness.

This study found that the antiandrogen drug enzalutamide reduced TMPRSS2 levels and significantly decreased SARS-CoV-2 entry and infection in lung cells, supporting further clinical trials for COVID-19 treatment.

This review highlights the need for tailored hormonal treatment strategies for non-binary transgender individuals, emphasizing personalized care to enhance psychological well-being and quality of life.

This study analyzed skin from 538 knockout mouse mutants and identified 50 with epidermal phenotypes, providing valuable insights into genetic conditions and systemic effects related to skin abnormalities.

Finasteride improves hidradenitis suppurativa but not for child-bearing women.

This review discusses the physiology of hair growth, common abnormal patterns of hirsutism, and examines differential diagnoses and treatment options, but provides no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the use of testosterone therapy for low libido in women, noting mixed evidence on breast cancer risk and a lack of long-term safety data.

This study found that low-dose tamoxifen may effectively treat painful gynecomastia in patients receiving flutamide and finasteride for advanced prostate cancer.

Hidradenitis suppurativa improves with antiandrogen therapy.

This review discusses the presence of the StAR protein in 17 non-classical steroidogenic tissues, suggesting that advanced detection methods are needed for a complete understanding of its functions in these tissues.

This review discusses the steroidogenic properties of human skin and suggests that impaired steroidogenesis may be linked to conditions like acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This review explores genetic and lifestyle factors influencing hair diversity and reports no new findings, calling attention to the potential for future discoveries in genetic and epigenetic research.

This study found that the combination of spironolactone and finasteride significantly improved hirsutism scores more than spironolactone alone in women, with similar side-effect profiles between treatments.

This review discusses idiopathic hirsutism, potential underlying mechanisms, and various therapeutic approaches without providing new clinical results, and emphasizes the need for further research on well-defined patient groups.

In this study, the authors concluded that COVID-19 may not cause direct long-term harm to testicular function, but temporary indirect effects could occur, suggesting a possible delay in pursuing parenthood post-recovery.

This study found that androgen receptor activation in adult mouse skin reduces β-catenin-induced hair follicle growth and sebaceous gland conversion, highlighting its role in stem cell fate decisions.

This study suggests that 5α-reduced glucocorticoids may have anti-inflammatory potential and could serve as biomarkers for liver inflammation in metabolic disease, with implications for drug development.
