This review discusses the development and potential therapeutic applications of steroid sulfatase inhibitors for hormone-dependent disorders and cognitive dysfunction, reporting no new clinical results.

This review examines the interconnected roles of bone, adipose tissue, and the central nervous system in regulating energy balance, providing no new experimental results.

This study found that overexpression of OsPHR2 in rice leads to increased phosphate accumulation and root architecture changes even under phosphate-sufficient conditions.

This study found that modulating BMP activity in transgenic mice affects the development and characteristics of several ectodermal organs, such as skin, hair, and claws, highlighting a stage-dependent influence on organogenesis.

This study found that A-ring reduced derivatives of norethisterone and levonorgestrel exhibit estrogen-like potency in rat osteoblasts, suggesting a mechanism for 19-norprogestins' bone restoration effects in postmenopausal women.

This study found that OsPHR3 overexpression in rice led to significant tolerance to low-phosphorus stress and normal growth under normal conditions, suggesting its potential for improving phosphorus uptake efficiency.

In this study, researchers reported that adult females approaching menopause in Canada generally had similar or lower blood concentrations of toxic, essential, and trace elements compared to their peers, but most participants showed zinc levels below the proposed adequacy threshold.

Higher hair levels of calcium and magnesium are linked to higher body weight, while lower levels are linked to worse metabolic health.

This study found that hair from ovarian teratomas shares similar chemical composition and morphology with scalp hair, but differs in physical properties and cysteic acid bands.

This study analyzed the cornified envelope of epidermal proteins, finding keratins dominate, which may help explain the minimal impact of deleting genes for single envelope components in congenital ichthyosis.

This study suggests that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) and fibroblast growth factor 23 form a crucial axis in regulating phosphate balance, akin to its role in calcium regulation, and explores novel VDR interactions including with curcumin.

This article reviews the roles of several signaling pathways and molecules, including FGFs, Hh, Notch, TGF, and Wnt, in the development of teeth and hair follicles, but reports no new findings.

This study presents two adolescent cases of ovarian hyperthecosis, a rare cause of severe hyperandrogenism, highlighting management strategies involving gonadotropin suppression and hormone replacement after excluding androgen-producing adrenal and ovarian tumors.

This study found that keratin genes in the epidermis of aquatic mammals like cetaceans have evolved to replace stress-inducible keratins K1 and K10 with constitutively expressed K6 and K17, suggesting adaptations to their environment.

This study identified a recurrent mutation in the endothelin receptor type A associated with mandibulofacial dysostosis with alopecia, and proposed a mechanism involving increased ligand affinity due to structural changes.

In this study, researchers found that dentin sialoprotein and phosphophoryn are present in rat and mouse hair follicles, suggesting these proteins may play a role in hair follicle development, similar to their role in dentin mineralization.

This study developed finite element models to examine skin's biomechanical properties, finding that structural heterogeneities like Rete ridges and hair follicles create distinct stress and strain patterns that may influence mechanosensation and skin integrity.

This study found that photobiomodulation via LED light at 630 nm and 810 nm increased proliferation and mineralization in osteoblast-like cells, with comparable effects between the two wavelengths.

This report describes a boy with ectodermal dysplasias who was genetically diagnosed due to newly discovered TSPEAR gene variants, which have now been associated with this condition.

This historical observation found that parathyroid extract treatment in newborn rats led to a condition resembling scleroderma, characterized by skin hardening, calcium deposition, and possible necrosis.

This study found that ESR1 gene polymorphisms may be linked to hormonal imbalances in young women with hyperandrogenism, potentially affecting bone mineral density indirectly.

This study found that the transcription factor GLABRA 2 inhibits ethylene production, regulating root hair growth in Arabidopsis under nutrient deficiency conditions.

This study found that disrupting the microtubule cytoskeleton in Arabidopsis root hairs caused loss of growth directionality and suggested microtubules interact with calcium gradients to regulate apical growth stability.

This study investigates calcium and phosphorus accumulations in the hair of mummies from the Taklamakan desert and debates their exogenous or endogenous origin.

The demineralized bone matrix scaffold is better for cell attachment than the mineralized bone allograft.

The researchers reported that the OVOL1-OVOL2 axis may play a role in hair follicle differentiation and tumorigenesis, and OVOL1 and OVOL2 are potential diagnostic markers for pilomatricoma and pilomatrix carcinoma.

This mini-review highlights emerging themes on how tissue stiffness, a fundamental material property, influences morphogenetic processes in living organisms, an area gaining increased attention alongside the role of mechanical forces in shaping cell behavior.

This study highlights a rare case of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A caused by a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, emphasizing the complexity of managing this condition with high-dose calcium and vitamin D therapy.

This study found that modifying biphasic calcium phosphate/poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement with human hair keratin improves its hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, and supports bone repair in rats, indicating potential for orthopedic applications.

In this study, 17β-estradiol increased VEGF production in differentiated THP-1 cells, while dihydrotestosterone counteracted this effect by modulating adenylate cyclase activity.
