This study identified 374 eQTLs in scalp hair follicles associated with genes involved in metabolic, mitotic, immune processes, and responses to steroid hormones, contributing insights into genetic variation and hair traits.

This study identified numerous size polymorphisms in the human ultrahigh sulfur KAP4 genes due to intragenic sequence variations, suggesting these polymorphisms may have arisen through deletions and duplications during evolution.

This study suggests that both the central biosynthesis and metabolism of progesterone to 3α,5α‐THP in the ventral tegmental area are crucial for facilitating lordosis in female rats.

This meta-analysis found that the rs2476601 SNP of the PTPN22 gene is significantly associated with reduced susceptibility to alopecia areata, with carriers of the C-allele and CC-genotype having a lower risk.

This study found that all-trans and 9-cis retinoic acids increase steroid sulfatase activity in HL60 cells through mechanisms involving RARα/RXR heterodimers and multiple signaling pathways.

This study reports two cases where localized prostate cancer with low PSA levels was incidentally detected through CT scans performed for other medical reasons.

This research suggests that defects in keratinocyte differentiation due to putrescine accumulation in SSAT transgenic mice lead to skin changes and hair loss, and reducing putrescine can promote hair regrowth.

This study found that in male mouse pancreatic islet β cells, testosterone enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by being locally converted into dihydrotestosterone and estradiol.

This study found that certain fatty acids and triterpenoid-glycosides from Eclipta prostrata L. leaves exhibit potent inhibitory effects on the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B enzyme, suggesting potential anti-diabetic and anti-obesity benefits.

This review re-evaluates the role of Serum Prostate Specific Antigen in prostate cancer diagnosis, suggesting it is most reliable for detecting cancer recurrences after treatment.

The researchers reported that the facial Psoriasis Log-based Area and Severity Index (fPLASI) more reliably and sensitively captured clinical improvement in facial psoriasis than the existing facial Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (fPASI).

This study found that TAZ promotes adipogenesis in goat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells by enhancing PI3K/AKT pathway activity, with overexpression boosting adipocyte formation and knockdown inhibiting it.

This study suggests that using the International Psoriasis Council's classification, which includes body surface area, special areas, and treatment history, may identify more candidates for systemic therapy than by body surface area alone.

This study found that palmoplantar pustulosis patients exhibited oral dysbiosis, particularly among those with pustulotic arthro-osteosis, as compared to healthy controls.

This study developed mathematical models to simulate phosphate uptake in rice and Arabidopsis, suggesting a phosphate-sensitive repressor could regulate PHO2 mRNA levels, and highlighting potential targets and traits for improving phosphorus-use efficiency.

This study found that Sp6 overproduction in ameloblast-lineage cells increased cell proliferation and ameloblastin expression, suggesting that Sp6 promotes amelogenesis by inhibiting follistatin gene expression.

This study found that nitrate, rather than ammonium, significantly enhances phosphate starvation responses in plants through a regulatory cascade involving NIGT1, SPX, and PHR1 proteins.

This study found that multimetal starvation by the immune protein calprotectin triggers unique regulatory responses in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, beyond those seen with individual metal shortages.

This study found that in hidradenitis suppurativa, the proteins SERPINB3/B4 and S100A7/A8/A9 were significantly overexpressed in lesional skin compared to nonlesional skin, suggesting new pathways in the disease's pathogenesis.

This study suggests that the ANE syndrome mutation in yeast Nop4, analogous to human RBM28, disrupts protein folding and protein-protein interactions, contributing to ribosomal dysfunction.

This study found that proteins secreted by early-passage dermal papilla cells, including SDF1, MMP3, biglycan, and LTBP1, may play significant roles in hair follicle regeneration.

In this study, researchers conducted additional IHC staining on equine skin sections and found that collagen type III primarily labels the extracellular matrix, while anti-PDGFR-antibody staining highlights cells with long-shaped processes mainly arranged around hair follicles.

This study reports that a specific transporter protein in Staphylococcus hominis is responsible for transporting a malodour precursor, thereby playing a key role in human body odor production.

This study found that Substance P increased mitochondrial activity and biogenesis markers in cultured human scalp hair follicles, suggesting a novel link between stress-related neuropeptide signaling and hair follicle mitochondrial responses.

This review found that 5α‐reductase inhibitors were associated with slightly increased rates of decreased libido, erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction, gynecomastia, and mood disorders compared to placebo, though their long-term effects remain unclear.

This study found that UVB exposure led to visible tanning and distinct DNA methylation changes in pigmentation genes in tan-capable skin but not in non-tan skin, highlighting GNAS as a potentially UVB-responsive gene.

This study identified nine pathogenic variants in the PADI3 gene, and variants in the S100A3 and TCHH genes, which may disrupt protein function and contribute to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have significantly higher plasma levels of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor and other hemostatic markers compared to age- and BMI-matched healthy controls.

This study found that astrotactin-2 undergoes unique intramembrane proteolysis during maturation, revealing specific transmembrane topologies and substrate sequence requirements for cleavage.

In this study, researchers identified and examined males with 17 beta-HSD3 deficiency in a highly inbred Arab population, noting genetic findings and the progression of male characteristics despite being raised as females initially.
