This study found that androgenetic alopecia may involve a defect in the conversion of hair follicle stem cells to progenitor cells, as demonstrated by a reduced presence of progenitor cells in bald scalp samples.

This review discusses the role of dihydrotestosterone in benign prostatic hyperplasia and reports no new results; the authors highlight 5alpha-reductase inhibitors as a well-established treatment option.

In this study, among patients undergoing chemotherapy for breast or gynecologic cancers, smell and taste functions significantly decreased but largely recovered three months post-treatment, with taxane-based regimens causing more severe taste disturbances.

This review explores androgen metabolism in the skin, highlighting enzyme localization and potential implications for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, targeting ornithine decarboxylase overexpression to hair follicle keratinocytes in mice was sufficient to promote skin tumor development without additional tumor promoters.

Stem cells are in deep skin layers, while differentiating cells are in shallow layers.

Understanding and targeting specific molecules can help reduce scarring and promote scar-free healing.

This review explores the hypothesis that polycystic ovary syndrome may originate in fetal life due to genetic predispositions and environmental influences, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that administering an adenovirus vector to increase Sonic hedgehog gene expression in mouse skin accelerated the transition of hair follicles into the growth phase, promoting hair growth.

This review discussed the potential of multifunctional photoresponsive hydrogels for wound regeneration, highlighting various types prepared with diverse photosensitizers and photothermal/photodynamic agents, and explored their role in modulating bacterial microenvironments to inhibit infection and promote healing.

This study found that calcitonin‐gene‐related peptide immunoreactive sensory axons in rats are predominantly involved in tissue maintenance rather than nociceptive functions.

Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.

In this study, patients informed about finasteride's potential sexual side effects reported a significantly higher occurrence of these side effects, suggesting a nocebo effect.

This study identifies SOX9 as a critical downstream effector of ERG in TMPRSS2:ERG fusion-positive prostate cancer, indicating its role in tumor invasion and growth.

This study concluded that including ovarian morphology in the diagnosis significantly increases the estimated prevalence of PCOS, revealing substantial variability due to clinical criteria and diagnostic cut-offs.

This review discusses persistent adverse effects of 5α‐reductase inhibitors, like diminished libido and erectile dysfunction, in some patients and highlights the need for patient discussions before therapy, especially for androgenetic alopecia.

This study reports that bioactive peptides derived from food proteins may lower serum cholesterol and exhibit antihypertensive and immunostimulating effects, suggesting potential in preventing lifestyle-related diseases.

This paper reviews the complex pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome, exploring how hormonal and metabolic disturbances contribute to its symptoms and related health risks, but it presents no new findings.

This review discusses the capabilities of ethosomes as drug delivery carriers and reports improved outcomes in a clinical study with an ethosomal acyclovir formulation.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia causes significant psychological distress, particularly in women, who exhibit a more negative body image and less adaptive functioning compared to controls.

This review discusses the key Indian medicinal plants and their pharmacological properties, aiming to support the development of new ethnomedicines, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome was 16.6% with Rotterdam criteria but decreased to 6.3% or 8.5% when using alternative criteria involving antral follicle count or anti-Müllerian hormone.

This study found that the circadian clock in mouse skin regulates cell proliferation and affects sensitivity to UVB-induced DNA damage, with potential implications for understanding human skin cancer risk.

This study found that the skin microbiome in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa differs significantly from healthy controls, suggesting a potential link between microbial imbalance and the disease.

In this 48-week trial, 5% topical minoxidil was more effective than both 2% minoxidil and placebo in promoting hair growth in women with female pattern hair loss, with notable improvements in nonvellus hair count and hair growth assessments.

This study found that removing PPARγ specifically from mouse adipose tissue led to severe fat loss, insulin resistance, diabetes, and associated metabolic abnormalities.

This review discusses the pathobiology of chemotherapy-induced alopecia and highlights challenges in managing it, reporting no new clinical results and emphasizing the need for well-designed preclinical models to develop effective treatments.

This study found that a basal 17-hydroxyprogesterone level is effective for screening nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women, with a 4 ng/mL cutoff providing high specificity and positive predictive value.

This review discusses the potential of pumpkin seeds as a functional food ingredient, highlighting their promising bioactive compounds and health benefits, but reports no new clinical results.

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.
