This case report suggests that the progestogen-only pill may cause false-positive aldosterone/renin ratio results in primary hyperaldosteronism screening, indicating it should be omitted before testing.

This article discusses hair follicle testing as an alternative method for drug abuse screening but reports no new research findings.

This abstract provides no results, as it only notes Sharon Keene's professional role and describes a non-blood test for AGA genetics.

This study suggests that the O'Connor Tweezer Dexterity Test is a valuable tool for screening surgical assistants in hair transplantation for their ability to accurately and quickly place hair-grafts.

This study established that a human epidermal model can be utilized to assess 5alpha-reductase activity and evaluate enzyme modulators, such as finasteride, for dermatological applications.

This study recommends limiting routine thyroid function screening to children with alopecia areata who have medical histories of Down syndrome, atopy, or family histories of thyroid disease.

This study demonstrated the development of high-density protein microarrays allowing for antibody binding characterization and serum profiling from patients with autoimmune diseases, suggesting potential for diagnostic marker discovery.

This review discusses advancements in skin microphysiological systems, such as 3D bioprinting, skin organoids, and skin-on-a-chip, and their effectiveness in emulating human skin functions for research and preclinical applications, highlighting the potential for replacing animal testing with these innovative technologies.

Genetic testing for cancer risk can lead to early and life-saving treatments in people without symptoms.

This study found that coffee extraction and its active compound, caffeotannic acid, showed high enzyme inhibition activity against 5a-reductase in an in vitro model.

This abstract provides background information on polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new research findings.

This article highlights the need for dermatologists to define evidence-based standards to provide high-value care and reduce unnecessary testing, as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology.

This study reported a 6.3% prevalence of PCOS among women in a Sri Lankan community, with most cases presenting as oligo/amenorrhea and polycystic ovaries.

This study found that LC-MS/MS is a more reliable method than immunoassays for measuring serum 17OHP and androgen levels in women with hyperandrogenism.

This study identified procyanidin B2 and leucopelargonidin from Saraca asoca as potential inhibitors in PCOS by showing high binding energy scores against key enzymes involved in estrogen and testosterone biosynthesis.

This study used molecular docking to identify stiripentol as a potential new inhibitor of the SRD5A2 enzyme, which is targeted for treating androgen-related diseases; however, in vivo trials are needed to validate its efficacy.

This study established a protocol using anti-steroid antibodies to differentially label epidermal cell contributors, suggesting potential applications in simplifying complex trace DNA mixtures before profiling.

This study investigates the potential of onion extract as a treatment for androgenetic alopecia by using in silico and ADME/T analyses to examine how active compounds from onions interact with the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme.

This study developed a reliable and convenient cell-based model to screen for type II 5α-reductase inhibitors, identifying Curcumae longae and Mori ramulus extracts as potential candidates.

In this study, researchers developed a sensitive assay to measure the inhibition of steroid 5-α reductase (5AR) by chemicals like finasteride and dutasteride, revealing species-specific differences in inhibitor efficacy between human and fish cell lines.

This case study describes the diagnosis and treatment of a Japanese girl with non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, highlighting the normalization of testosterone and control of clitoromegaly after hydrocortisone therapy, but continued overgrowth issues.

This study concluded that neither basal nor ACTH-stimulated 17-OHP concentrations effectively indicate carrier status for 21-hydroxylase deficiency among Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, recommending molecular analysis of the CYP21 gene for reliable screening.
