Many young Italian women have hyperandrogenic disorders like PCOS, which are linked to age, body weight, and insulin resistance.
research Applications and Risks of Nanomaterials Used in Regenerative Medicine, Delivery Systems, Theranostics, and Therapy
Nanomaterials in biomedicine can improve treatments but may have risks like toxicity, needing more safety research.
research Management of Endocrine Disease: Hyperandrogenic States in Women - Pitfalls in Laboratory Diagnosis
Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.
research Clinical Characteristics in Taiwanese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Taiwanese women with PCOS experience different symptoms based on age, with younger women facing more hormone imbalances and older women dealing with more metabolic issues.
research Relationship Between Steroid Hormones and Metabolic Profile in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Overweight women with PCOS have higher levels of certain hormones that could indicate a higher risk of heart and metabolic problems.
research Hepatology Highlights: Key Findings from 2004
Tenofovir is more effective than adefovir for resistant hepatitis B, Fibroscan is good for assessing liver damage, regulatory T cells may help hepatitis C persist, and other insights into liver health and disease were found.

research Prediction of Male-Pattern Baldness from Genotypes
Genetic data can predict male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, especially for early-onset cases in some European men.
research Sequence Variation in Caprine KRTAP6-2 Affects Cashmere Fiber Diameter
Different versions of the KRTAP6-2 gene in goats can lead to thinner cashmere fibers.
research Forensic DNA Phenotyping
Forensic DNA Phenotyping accurately predicts physical traits and is used in investigations, but needs more diverse population data for confirmation.
research Enrichment of Specific Hair Follicle-Associated Cell Populations in Plucked Hairs Offers an Opportunity to Study Gene Expression Underlying Hair Traits
Plucked hairs can be used instead of skin biopsies to study hair traits because they contain specific cells related to hair.
research Epigenetic Age Estimation in Saliva and Buccal Cells
The model accurately predicts age from saliva and buccal cells for forensic use.
research EtG Quantification in Hair and Different Reference Cut-Offs in Relation to Various Pathologies: A Scoping Review
EtG in hair can help detect alcohol use but may be inaccurate in people with certain health conditions.
research Factors Predicting Response to Oral Methylprednisolone Tapering Treatment in Alopecia Areata: A Retrospective Study
Younger patients and those with more hair loss are less likely to benefit from oral steroid treatment for hair loss, and low vitamin D may predict relapse.
research KRTAP 2-3 as a Novel Potential Biomarker of Cells in the Polyaneuploid Cancer Cell State to Predict Cancer Recurrence
KRTAP2-3 could help predict cancer recurrence by identifying specific cancer cells.
