In this study, HDAC inhibitors promoted the differentiation of rat C6 glioma cells through the production of 5α‐reduced neurosteroids, enhancing serotonin-stimulated BDNF gene expression.

This study found that the gene SRD5A1, associated with methylation changes due to early-life environment, may play a role in altering reproductive phenotypes in women by delaying pubertal onset and decreasing ovarian reserve.

This study demonstrated that a specific 9-kbp fragment of the bovine keratin 6 gene effectively directs tissue-specific and inducible expression in transgenic mice, suggesting potential applications for targeted gene therapy in hyperproliferative skin conditions.

This study reports that TFM-4AS-1, a selective androgen receptor modulator, promoted bone and muscle growth with reduced effects on reproductive organs in ovariectomized rats.

This review discusses the role of 5α-reductase in prostate development and BPH, and reports no new clinical results; ongoing trials are exploring dual isozyme inhibitors for improved treatment efficacy.

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.

A new method was developed to accurately measure enzyme activity related to prostate health.

This study found that vismodegib promotes Basal cell carcinoma regression by inducing tumor differentiation but leaves a small population of quiescent cells that can drive relapse, which can be eliminated by adding a Wnt signaling inhibitor.

This study found that p2y5 functions as a novel LPA receptor involved in the G13-Rho signaling pathway, with implications for human hair growth, and proposes renaming it to LPA6.

This review discusses the role of Ysc84/SH3yl1 proteins in linking actin regulation to membrane morphology changes but reports no new experimental results.

This study identifies mutations in the SRD5A3 gene as a cause of a new type of congenital disorder of glycosylation, impacting mental, ophthalmologic, and cerebellar functions.

PRO-C22 can help diagnose and monitor the severity of hidradenitis suppurativa.

This study reports that 2-(1-Adamantyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-on-6-O-sulfamate is the most potent steroid sulfatase inhibitor identified so far, exhibiting 170-fold higher activity than the lead compound estrone sulfamate.

This study reported that derivatization with 5-butylpicolinic acid improved the sensitivity for detecting testosterone and DHT in saliva using LC-ESI-MS/MS, with minimal interference from the saliva matrix.

This study found that in circulating tumor cells from non-invasive liquid biopsies, the GG genotype of the CYP3A5 A6986G affects longer disease-free survival in DLBCL patients, highlighting the significance of circulating biomarkers for prognostic evaluation.

This study found that black cohosh extract BNO 1055 reduced testosterone-induced prostate and seminal vesicle growth in rats, suggesting it may contain potent 5α-reductase inhibitors useful for prostate cancer prevention.

The researchers investigated a Maine Coon cat with suspected classical Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and discovered a heterozygous deletion in the COL5A1 gene, underscoring the value of whole-genome sequencing for precise veterinary diagnostics.

This study suggests that in gilthead seabream, DHT is involved in the onset of the meiotic phase of spermatogenesis and influences serum levels of E2 through regulation of aromatase activity.

This study reported that newly synthesized progesterone derivatives significantly reduced prostate weight in testosterone-treated hamsters, with 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity dependent on the size of the substituent at C-17.

This study found that constitutively active Stat3 in transgenic mice led to reduced keratinocyte stem cell populations in hair follicles, altering stem/progenitor cell dynamics and homeostasis.

This study observed that in hormone-starved prostate cancer cells, the androgen 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone rapidly induces matriptase activation and shedding, which involves androgen receptor signaling and requires both transcription and protein synthesis.

This study suggests that over-expression of Sp2 may limit stem cell differentiation and contribute to tumorigenic cell growth in mice.

This study found that SZ95 sebocytes and HaCaT keratinocytes exhibit distinct enzyme expressions and activities, implicating their different roles in androgen metabolism and homeostasis in vitro.

This article presents a case of 5-alpha-reductase deficiency in a Saudi individual, reporting no new research findings.

This study found that inhibiting the interaction between CXXC5 and Dishevelled could stimulate hair regrowth in mouse models by enhancing WNT/β-catenin signaling, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for hair loss involving compounds that block this interaction, such as interfering short peptides.

This article suggests that testosterone therapy might be considered if other treatments fail, but emphasizes discussing potential risks and benefits with patients before prescribing.

In this case report, a 20-year-old male with tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome was found to have a de novo frameshift mutation in the TRPS1 gene, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing this rare disorder.
