This case study reports that a virilizing Leydig cell type ovarian tumor in a 40-year-old woman caused hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, which improved post-surgery.

The study suggests that male pattern baldness, a possible indicator of sex hormone levels, may be linked to an increased risk of gastric cancer in men.

This study found that among middle-aged Korean men, higher serum uric acid levels were associated with a reduced risk of developing lower urinary tract symptoms.

This study found that treatment with the pure antiandrogen Flutamide did not affect the estrous cycle or plasma levels of most hormones in female rats, supporting its potential use for treating hirsutism, acne, and alopecia in women.

This study found that in PCOS patients, variations in the lipin 1 gene, particularly the intron 1 SNP, may protect against insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, highlighting a potential genetic factor in the disorder's cardiometabolic complications.

The source does not provide an abstract for this letter to the editor, so specific results regarding the long-term efficacy and safety of dutasteride for male androgenetic alopecia are not reported.

This study found that a gene from hamster flank organs is indirectly regulated by androgens, despite lacking direct androgen responsive elements, indicating involvement of androgen-dependent transcription factors.

This study found that acanthosis nigricans and skin tags in nondiabetic, obese patients were significantly associated with higher insulin levels, suggesting they may serve as clinical markers of hyperinsulinemia.

This research highlighted that the gut microbiota may influence ovarian health, suggesting it could be used as a biomarker for early diagnosis and treatment of diseases like PCOS, ovarian insufficiency, and ovarian cancer due to its impact on hormone levels.

This study found that the protein OsUEV1B is essential for maintaining phosphate balance in rice, with Pi deficiency leading to its inhibition and causing overaccumulation of phosphate in mutants.

In this study, a newly engineered scaffold, PADM-MX-Ag-Si@Dox, demonstrated potential as a multifunctional biomaterial for postoperative melanoma treatment by controlling drug release, enhancing wound healing, and enabling real-time tumor surveillance through temperature, pH, and electrical stimuli.

In this animal study on albino Wistar rats, Lavandula stoechas extract was found to significantly enhance diabetic wound healing, with improved healing percentages and tissue development observed, suggesting its potential in diabetic foot management and pointing to the need for further research into its mechanisms.

This review discusses various treatments for noncicatricial alopecias, such as androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, including mesotherapy, microneedling, and platelet-rich plasma therapy, noting that outcomes vary across these procedures.

This article reviews various hair growth and hair loss treatments, noting limited new developments since FDA-approved drugs but highlights recent cosmetic surgery and potential cell-based therapies; it reports no original findings.

This study characterized the SARM PF-05314882, finding it demonstrates anabolic activity in rats with minimal effects on the prostate, seminal vesicles, and luteinizing hormone levels.

This study found that androgenic alopecia is highly prevalent in women with PCOS, suggesting early dermatological screening could help identify related metabolic and psychosocial risks.

This study found that plasma-activated water significantly improved wound healing in diabetic rats compared to both atmospheric pressure cold plasma and conventional dressings.

This study highlights factors contributing to increasing seborrheic alopecia among teenagers, including hormonal, lifestyle, and psychological influences, and suggests integrated treatment strategies including medication, lifestyle adjustments, and psychological interventions.

This review discusses current and emerging treatments for androgenetic alopecia, covering mechanisms, efficacy, and safety of both androgen-targeted and non-androgen-targeted approaches, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that near-infrared LED therapy enhanced ATP synthesis, reduced reactive oxygen species, and promoted collagen production and hair growth more effectively than white LEDs in human skin cells and a photoaging mouse model.

In this randomized controlled trial involving breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, this study investigated the efficacy of low-level light therapy for preventing hair loss, measuring outcomes like hair count and patient quality of life, but the abstract does not report specific results.

This study evaluated a novel hand-held low-level light therapy device for treating mild-to-moderate acne, finding it significantly reduced inflammatory lesions and moderate acne severity without severe adverse reactions, while also reducing Cutibacterium acnes viability in vitro.

This study evaluated a hair tonic formulated from oil palm leaf extract, finding it demonstrated very strong antioxidant activity and could prevent hair decolorization from sun exposure, with effective concentrations ranging from 25 to 200 ppm.

This study concluded that a 5% concentration of celery extract in hair gel provided the best preparation characteristics, including standard parameters for organoleptic properties and spreadability.

This article reviews optical coherence tomography for skin imaging and its potential clinical uses, but does not include new clinical findings.

This study presents a method using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to quantify biotin in plasma and serum, and explores how high biotin intake can interfere with diagnostic immunoassays that utilize biotin-streptavidin technology, potentially leading to misdiagnosis of endocrine disorders.

In this study, researchers found that cosmetic formulations containing guaraná extract effectively controlled oiliness in oily skin and hair by reducing sebaceous gland activity and lipid content without compromising skin barrier function, making them promising for managing excessive sebum production.

This Ph.D. project aims to evaluate the self-assembling potential of hair keratin extracts and study the cellular response to both crude and purified keratins, highlighting their potential applications from biomedical to water remediation.

This study observed that a polyherbal hair oil made from virgin coconut oil and extracts of nine different herbs demonstrated effectiveness in promoting hair growth with a cooling effect and no reported side effects, based on various evaluated properties.

This abstract describes the use of lasers in hair transplantation for creating recipient sites and enhancing hair growth but reports no new findings.
