This review discusses the role of androgens in the progression of cardiovascular disease and explores novel therapeutic targets without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that overexpression of PTHrP in mice chondrocytes led to short-limbed dwarfism and delays in endochondral ossification, highlighting PTHrP's role in inhibiting chondrocyte differentiation.

This study found that distinct isoenzymes of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase are expressed in human adrenals and gonads compared to the placenta and skin.

This study suggests that human hair follicles may actively suppress natural killer cells, which contrasts with the observed defects in NK cell regulation in alopecia areata.

In this study, a unique form of chronic superficial pyoderma gangrenosum with verrucous and ulcerative lesions was reported to heal without systemic corticosteroids in most patients.

This study found that in mice, transplanting hair follicle stem cells promoted recovery from spinal cord injury, as these cells largely differentiated into Schwann cells aiding nerve repair.

This article reviews how different 5alpha-reductase and 3alpha-HSD enzymes impact androgen levels and highlights their potential as drug targets for androgen-related diseases, but provides no new experimental findings.

Women with epilepsy should be monitored for reproductive issues, which can be caused by epilepsy or its treatments, especially when using valproate.

This study describes how feather pigmentation in birds is regulated by melanocyte distribution, differentiation, and patterned agouti expression, contributing to diverse and adaptive color patterns.

This article discusses the role of human hair follicles in neuroendocrinology and suggests potential new therapeutic targets by examining how neuromediators influence hair growth, pigmentation, and stem cell biology in organ cultures.

Lung immune cells can be trained to better fight infections after a virus.

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.

Testosterone needs to be converted to DHT to reduce stress response in male rats.

This review discusses prolactin production and regulation in human skin and hair follicles, highlighting its potential broader implications but reports no new empirical results.

This study observed that innervation of the mystacial pad in rats by fine-caliber axons is more extensive and complex than previously described, with distinct differences in labeling patterns depending on the tracer and survival time.

This study found that basal cell carcinomas show strong expression of vitamin D receptors at both mRNA and protein levels, suggesting a potential role in tumor growth regulation.

This study suggests that patients with STSD show a different pattern in androgen activation compared to healthy controls, potentially due to increased 5α-reductase activity and absent prepubertal serum DHEA surge.

This study found that a novel IKZF1 mutation, p.L188V, is linked to juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus and alters B-cell activation by disrupting normal DNA binding.

This review discusses the current understanding of androgen biosynthesis, mechanisms of action, and their roles in human biology, as well as related congenital and acquired disorders, but it reports no new research findings.

This study introduced a theoretical model suggesting that the morphological transition from bud to cap in tooth germ development is driven by mechanical interactions among cells.

Hair follicles can be used to easily create neurons and glial cells for potential nerve repair.

This review covers the connection between thyroid diseases and skin conditions like alopecia, dermatitis, and vitiligo, and highlights the need for further research on the role of thyroid hormones in skin health.

This article reviews skin disorders in Parkinson's disease, highlighting the potential of skin studies and stem cell research to advance understanding and treatment of the neurodegenerative disorder, without presenting new results.

This report describes a case of Ambras syndrome with a chromosomal inversion on chromosome 8, similar to a previous case, but not associated with altered androgen levels.

This study describes patients with moderate to severe scarring alopecia of the scalp margin and suggests that traction is not the sole cause for this condition, as half of the patients had no history of harsh hairstyling practices.

This review discusses the potential of nanoparticles to modify angiogenesis processes for therapeutic applications and reports no new clinical results, highlighting challenges and future prospects in treating angiogenesis-related diseases.

In this study, oral finasteride treatment for four weeks reduced the weight of the corpus cavernosum in rats but did not significantly affect erectile function.

This study found that in rats, morphine exposure may increase 5alpha-reductase activity in the CNS, leading to decreased testosterone levels, an effect blocked by finasteride.

This review discusses the therapeutic potential of potassium channel openers for various conditions, but notes that their clinical role is not yet fully established.

This review discusses female androgen insufficiency syndrome and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest that testosterone replacement may alleviate symptoms like loss of libido and fatigue.
