This study presents the first report on cloning and characterizing the full-length cDNA of SRD5A1 in Indian catfish (Clarias magur), revealing expression differences across reproductive phases and increased expression post-Ovatide administration in ovaries and testis.

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 found that Ganoderma lucidum extracts showed weak 5alpha-reductase inhibition but significantly inhibited prostate cell proliferation and testosterone-driven prostate growth in rats, suggesting potential as an ingredient for treating androgen-induced diseases.

This study identified ectodin as a novel BMP inhibitor that modulates BMP signaling in ectodermal development by interacting with SHH and FGF pathways.

In this study, researchers reported that a keratinocyte growth factor-Ig fusion protein could specifically detect and localize KGFRs in epithelial tissues, suggesting a method for histochemical detection of growth factor receptors.

This review discusses the development and role of corneodesmosin in skin and hair follicle integrity, highlighting findings from mouse models and its connection to genetic diseases, with no new experimental results included.

This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.

This review discusses the roles of androgens and androgen receptors in skin-related disorders and suggests that targeting androgen receptors may be a more effective treatment strategy.

This study found that C8/144B antibody exclusively binds to the hair follicle bulge and not the epidermal stratum basale, with cytokeratin 19 serving as a key marker of certain basal keratinocytes that decrease with age.

This article discusses the role of androgens in hair follicle changes, explaining how dihydrotestosterone contributes to hair thinning on the scalp, while promoting thicker facial hair in men, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that MDA-modified DNA may contribute to immune responses in alopecia areata patients by creating neo-epitopes, providing new insights into the condition's immunological mechanisms.

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 found that ZDHHC13 deficiency in mice is associated with abnormal liver function, lipid metabolism issues, and impaired mitochondrial function, highlighting ZDHHC13's regulatory role in liver metabolism.

This review article summarizes recent strategies to enhance the precise control of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, addressing tissue-specific challenges and off-target effects by exploring various activation methods like cell-specific promoters and small molecules.

This research presents a comprehensive workflow for producing EMA-compliant autologous keratinocyte-based therapies for wound healing and explores miRNA-mediated regulations in human keratinocytes and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

This study found that the receptor kinase RHS10 negatively regulates root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana by modulating growth duration and is associated with cell wall signal mediation, involving RNA catabolism and ROS accumulation.

This study demonstrates that keratin K2 is crucial for proper keratinocyte structure and function in specific mouse skin areas, and its deficiency leads to cellular aggregates and skin abnormalities.

This study found that procyanidins effectively alleviate neuropathic pain in mice by significantly inhibiting MMP-9/2 activity.

This study suggests that using glycosidases to lyse the polysaccharides of Botryoccocus braunii may allow for the semi-continuous recovery of hydrocarbons while keeping the cells viable.

This study found that recombinant human hair keratin proteins K31 and K81 show greater potential for inducing skin cell differentiation compared to natural keratin coatings.

This study investigated the Mandarin duck as a model for understanding lifelong developmental changes, finding that male sail feather morphogenesis involves a combination of local morphogenetic programs, epigenetic regulation, and hormonal cues, with increased female estrogen levels observed before the mating season.

In this study, researchers identified several active metabolites in Eclipta alba, demonstrated strong interaction with Alzheimer's disease proteins, and found that 28 days of treatment improved memory without significant toxicity in rats, suggesting potential pathways for treating Alzheimer's.

This study identified three Ayurvedic compounds that may serve as potential treatments against the macrolide-resistant enzyme murE of *Tropheryma whipplei*, addressing challenges in treating Whipple disease.

This article reviews the role of factor Xa inhibitors like Rivaroxaban and suggests they may eventually replace vitamin K antagonists, but their side effects require further clarification.

This study found that desmosomal cadherin desmoglein 3 loses its rigidity upon Ca2+ removal, regardless of desmosome functional state, suggesting a central role for signaling in hyper-adhesion.

This study found that Smad7 perturbs hair follicle development while promoting sebaceous gland formation by antagonizing Wnt/β-catenin signaling in transgenic mice.

This study introduces MicrobeFDT, a tool that clusters chemically similar compounds and links them to gut microbial enzymes and toxicities, demonstrating its utility by uncovering previously unknown metabolism of the cancer drug altretamine.

Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.

This study found that terbinafine prevented the invasion of keratin by Trichophyton mentagrophytes in experimental models replicating human dermatomycoses.

This study concluded that cyproterone acetate alone produced antiandrogenic effects on the female gerbil prostate, while ethinyloestradiol alone stimulated estrogenic activity, and their combination led to prostatic lesions.
