This review discusses the pathways of androgen biosynthesis and reports no new findings, highlighting the need to understand the interplay between the classic and backdoor pathways.

This study found that certain curcumin analogs derived from natural plant sources exhibit anti-androgen activity by inhibiting steroid 5-alpha reductase, identifying key structural features for their potency and safety in treating androgen-related conditions.

This research studied European human hair, finding that cysteic acid and protein carbonylation increased with both chemical and photochemical oxidation. Protein carbonylation was highlighted as a more sensitive marker for photochemical oxidation, providing better in situ visualization of hair damage than cysteic acid.

This study found that the growth of hair ice on dead wood requires the biological activity of a winter-active fungus, specifically Exidiopsis effusa, which shapes and stabilizes the ice structures.

This study found that GhPLDα1 in upland cotton may be involved in fiber development, correlating with increased hydrogen peroxide and cellulose biosynthesis during secondary cell wall thickening.

In this study, researchers developed vegan exosome-like vesicles from microalgae that mimic mammalian exosomes, demonstrating promising in vitro, ex vivo, and clinical effects such as improved wrinkle depth and elasticity, making them a potential alternative in cosmetic applications.

In this cross-sectional study, social support was found to improve empowerment and alopecia-related quality of life in breast cancer patients, with an indirect benefit on quality of life achieved through enhanced empowerment.

DS cells in hair follicles can help form and restore hair, especially in hair loss conditions.

This review discusses the structure and function of steroid nuclear receptors, particularly focusing on androgen receptor dysregulation in prostate cancer and androgen insensitivity syndromes, without reporting new experimental results.

In this study, researchers developed a new sodium alginate/chitosan/Zn2+ hydrogel that showed improved physical properties, antibacterial activity, and biocompatibility, and demonstrated enhanced wound healing and skin regeneration in an in vitro model.

In this review, various expression systems for synthesizing recombinant collagen are compared, highlighting their efficiency, modification capabilities, and cost. Key purification techniques are also analyzed, and challenges like reducing R&D costs and improving safety protocols are identified.

This study found that human peptidylarginine deiminase type III is the predominant isoform in hair follicles and may modulate structural proteins during hair and hair follicle formation.

This study found that a novel hybrid bilayer scaffold system enhanced wound healing in an in-vivo model by promoting cell viability, migration, and preventing infection, showing potential as an advanced dressing for cutaneous wounds.

Aging skin is affected by inflammation, reduced stem cell function, and slower wound healing.

This study found that CYP21A2 gene mutations are the most common cause of non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, while CYP11B1 mutations are rare and may partially impair enzyme activity.

This study found that micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was highly effective for analyzing the cross-sectional geometry of hair fibres, including the medulla in highly curled hair, but less effective than scanning electron microscopy for surface details.

This study found no statistically significant relationship between androgenic alopecia and the PON1 ML55 and QR192 genetic polymorphisms, despite a higher frequency of the PON 55 L allele in patients.

This review discusses the relationship between zinc deficiency and skin disorders, emphasizing zinc transporters' roles, but it reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight potential benefits of regulating zinc levels via transporters.

This review highlights that biomaterial properties can be designed to modulate macrophage activity, potentially reducing foreign body responses and enhancing tissue healing in regenerative medicine.

This article discusses the structure and function of sebaceous glands and their role in skin moisture but reports no new research findings.

This study investigated the histogenetic relationship between basal cell carcinoma and hair follicles, revealing specific staining patterns of a monoclonal antibody in different skin tissues.

This study found that PT-LCG extends hair follicle activity and promotes continuous cashmere growth by enhancing lipid synthesis, remodeling the extracellular matrix, and modulating inflammatory signaling, offering insights into improving cashmere yield and quality through molecular breeding.

This study found significant species differences in the enzyme activity and inhibitor affinities of prostatic 5α-reductases from rats, dogs, and humans, with variable potencies for different 3-oxo-4-azasteroid inhibitors across species.

This study constructed a model to predict finasteride's inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase type 2 and calculated that a 1 μM plasma concentration, after 50 mg administration, matches prostate inhibition levels.

This review highlights the need for standardized reporting on fucoidan extract properties to better understand the relationships between chemical structures and bioactivities, and to improve the quality and utility of fucoidan-related data.

This review discusses the isolation, structure, and bioactivity of lignans and neolignans from 2016 to mid-2018, reporting no new clinical results but highlighting their potential protective properties against diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration.

This study found that colchicine treatment significantly reduced hair fiber elongation in cultured hair follicles and altered protein expression and activity in dermal papilla cells, suggesting a role for the ubiquitin-proteasome system in its effects.

This study found that dermal sheath stem cell characteristics are lost with aging in humans, affecting skin rejuvenation and structure, and identified specific proteins like Activin A influencing keratinocyte and fibroblast activity.

This study found that oxidative stress markers, specifically MDA and H2O2, along with decreased SOD activity, may play a key role in the development of diffuse hair loss in the studied population.

This article explores how natural and man-made factors shape architecture and environments for human activity in emergency situations, focusing on the unique conditions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Results are not reported.
