This study suggests that the outer root sheath of human hair follicles may act as a "metabolic center," capable of synthesizing glucose from lactate, which supports glycogen metabolism.

In this study, researchers found that in late pregnancy, the neuroactive progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone inhibits HPA axis responses to immune challenges via an opioid-mediated mechanism.

This study developed and validated a 50-item questionnaire, the PCOSQ-50, to effectively assess the quality of life in Iranian women with polycystic ovary syndrome, addressing aspects often missed by previous questionnaires.

This study found distinct differences in protein expression and wound healing pathways between Acomys cahirinus and Mus musculus, highlighting potential targets for reducing fibrotic response in mammals.

In this case-control study, female patients with early onset androgenetic alopecia had higher triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-C levels, and lower HDL-C levels compared to females with other skin diseases.

This study found that oral contraceptives containing cyproterone acetate significantly improved the overall quality of life in polycystic ovary syndrome patients after 6 months compared to those containing levonorgestrel.

This study reported that both phlebotomy and oral contraceptive pills with cyproterone acetate effectively improved insulin resistance and androgenic profiles in women with PCOS, but OCs had more impact on regularizing menstrual cycles.

This study found that among eleven tested polymethoxyflavones, 5-hydroxy-7,4′-dimethoxyflavone was the strongest steroid 5α-reductase inhibitor and suggests potential use for benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment.

This study found that soups with 5% and 10% hibiscus flower were more desirable in sensory attributes and had higher β-carotene content compared to the control soup.

Seminal bacteria can lower sperm quality in subfertile men.

This study observed that applying a cream containing secretome from Bovine Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells promoted healing and regeneration in burn wounds in rats, particularly at a 15% concentration.

This review discusses the complex role of the immune system in tissue repair and regeneration, highlighting its positive and negative influences but reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the influence of estrogens on hair follicle growth and metabolism, suggesting a significant role alongside androgens in hair growth control but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the hormonal and medication-related factors associated with acne development but does not present new research findings.

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 role of the mineralocorticoid receptor in skin biology, highlighting its potential involvement in keratinocyte and hair physiology, and proposes it may affect the side effects of glucocorticoid use.

This review summarizes current and emerging treatments for common hair loss conditions, highlighting good evidence for androgenetic alopecia but noting the lack of long-term data for alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecias.

In this study, pioglitazone treatment in patients with lichen planopilaris showed limited success, with significant improvement seen in only a minority of cases.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, focusing on its multifactorial etiology and challenges in clinical diagnosis, and calls for more research and better treatment options.

This review examines hormonal influences on acne development and available hormonal therapies but reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights the potential of aromatic plants as natural antioxidants in cosmeceuticals, which may combat skin aging and promote rejuvenation by counteracting oxidative stress, offering a natural alternative to synthetic products with benefits like photoprotection and anti-wrinkle effects.

This meta-analysis confirmed associations between some androgenic and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS, suggesting that these measurements might help predict metabolic risk in this population.

This study found that lipin 1β expression in both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue is significantly lower in PCOS patients compared to controls, suggesting its involvement in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance.

This review discusses the features and diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in obese children and reports no new findings, highlighting the need for a uniform pediatric definition and early intervention.

This study found that ethanol-extracted propolis stimulated hair growth in mice by promoting the proliferation of hair keratinocytes.

The authors concluded that increased expression of the HSD11B1 gene in adipose tissue correlates with obesity markers and predicts insulin resistance, but this association is independent of polycystic ovary syndrome when adiposity is controlled for.

This case report describes a 27-year-old man hospitalized with fatigue, myalgias, weakness, profound weight loss, and abnormal liver function, leading to a diagnosis after chest imaging revealed pneumomediastinum.

This article discusses the multifactorial etiopathogenesis of acne vulgaris, highlighting the roles of sebum production, keratosis, bacterial development, and inflammatory mediators, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, human hair follicles showed varying expression of cholesterol transport proteins during the hair cycle, suggesting a potential role of cholesterol in hair growth and cycling.

Different types of scarring alopecia may be stages of one disease, and accurate diagnosis is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss.
