Bee pollen, green tea, essential oils, and various plant extracts improve skin and hair health.

This study found that overexpression of sPLA2-X in mice was associated with alopecia and hair follicle abnormalities, highlighting its potential role in hair follicle homeostasis.

This review discusses nitric oxide's physiological roles and the development of strategies for delivering it exogenously, without presenting new clinical results.

This study reports that a lower 2D:4D finger length ratio is significantly associated with higher disease activity and reduced spinal mobility in females with ankylosing spondylitis, but not in males.

This review found an increasing trend in research on sperm DNA fragmentation over the past 20 years, especially focusing on lifestyle factors, asthenozoospermia, and varicocele, with the TUNEL technique as a predominant method.

This study found a previously unreported ST14 gene mutation in a patient with ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome, highlighting novel skin and hair characteristics and emphasizing the critical role of the Asp482 amino acid in matriptase activation.

This study examined the evolutionary and functional homology of steroid 5α-reductase and DET2 proteins, identifying protists as a common ancestor, and discovered a new subclass DET2-like in plants, potentially involved in polyprenol reduction.

This study found that FRβ knockout mice exhibited autoimmune symptoms and slower tumor growth compared to wild type mice, suggesting that the FRβ receptor may play a role in regulating immune responses in tumors and autoimmune conditions.

Matriptase is crucial for skin barrier, hair growth, and may contribute to skin cancer.

This study demonstrated that hyaluronan gel is a promising biomaterial for 3-D in vitro culture of mouse ovarian follicles, supporting the production of fertilizable metaphase II oocytes.

This review highlights the role of plant-derived organic selenium compounds, noting their high bioavailability and low toxicity, and provides a comprehensive overview of selenium's uptake in plants and metabolism in humans, offering a theoretical basis for future nutritional research.

This narrative review discusses the mixed and evolving evidence regarding glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and their influence on erectile dysfunction in men with type 2 diabetes and obesity, highlighting potential benefits and concerns yet to be clarified.

This study found that prolonged use of finasteride in women led to altered levels of sex steroids, DNA damage, and increased menstrual bleeding, suggesting adverse health effects without clear benefits for androgenetic alopecia treatment.

In this study, Quercetin-loaded black seed oil nanoemulsion effectively mitigated testosterone-induced testicular oxidative stress and inflammation in rats undergoing exercise and restraint stress, with improved antioxidant levels and reduced inflammatory markers compared to other treatment groups.

This study updates guidelines for evaluating and managing male infertility, including revised testing recommendations for Y-chromosome microdeletions, use of pelvic MRI, and testicular sperm in nonazoospermic males.

This study found that older age at puberty may be associated with lower semen quality and altered reproductive hormone levels in young men, though only some results were statistically significant.

This study observed that men with a family history of PCOS had lower median sperm concentration and higher rates of alopecia and gynecomastia compared to those without such a family history.

This study found that while finasteride effectively improves hair growth in male androgenetic alopecia, it may affect fertility at higher doses, and the evidence on its long-term sexual side effects is inconsistent and requires more rigorous research.

This collection of articles explores advancements in reproductive technologies for domestic dogs and cats, highlighting improvements like finasteride treatment for BPH in dogs and a rapid freezing method for cat sperm that enhance fertility preservation and genetic resource banking.

This case report highlights a persistent gynecomastia in a young man following low-dose finasteride, suggesting that the incidence may be underreported and calls for patient counseling and early intervention.

These guidelines recommend testing thyroid function in patients with obesity due to common hypothyroidism, and highlight that weight loss is crucial for addressing hormonal imbalances, with only modest weight loss benefits from treating endocrine disorders.

This review discusses recent research on male infertility causes and treatments, emphasizing the need for further understanding of idiopathic sperm abnormalities and molecular factors to improve patient outcomes; it reports no new clinical results.

In isolated rat lymph vessels, this study found that ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers impair lymph contractions and reduce lymph flow, potentially contributing to peripheral edema.

This narrative review on inositol use in PCOS treatment found positive results for myo-inositol alone and effective outcomes for a myo-inositol/D-chiro inositol combination at a 40:1 ratio, suggesting further research on other combinations like 66:1 to 100:1.

This study found that Origanum vulgare extract significantly ameliorated finasteride-induced liver and kidney damage in mice by improving biochemical indices, reducing inflammation, and enhancing antioxidant status in a dose-dependent manner.

This study found that high prepubertal and pubertal androgen levels, originating from both adrenal and gonadal secretion, were negatively associated with adult height outcomes in males with Silver-Russell syndrome.

Understanding genes and hormones is crucial for managing male puberty and sex development disorders.

This study reviews the emerging role of protein S-palmitoylation in dermatology, highlighting its impact on skin functions like inflammation and barrier maintenance, and evaluating its potential as a therapeutic target for skin disorders such as alopecia and psoriasis.

This meeting abstract details various lectures and workshops from the 30th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Andrology, including findings on genetic and physiological factors affecting male fertility, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Hairless (Hr) acts as a corepressor of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in human keratinocytes, blocking the action of vitamin D on keratinocyte differentiation.
