This review explores the potential of selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors to improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes, emphasizing the need for more clinical research and reports no new clinical results.

This review suggests that most mutations in the SRD5A2 gene show no clear genotype-phenotype correlation in 5-α-Reductase deficiency, although mutation location affects severity.

This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride act as slow, time-dependent inhibitors of steroid 5α-reductase type II, with dutasteride being more efficient, influenced by the enzyme's genetic variants.

This study found that older men with vertex balding had lower levels of IGFBP-3 and higher levels of IGF-1 in their plasma.

This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 had higher numbers of nevi, dysplastic nevi, melanomas, and pilomatrixomas compared to age- and sex-matched controls.

In this study, fraction No. 3 of Oryza sativa bran extract demonstrated high unsaturated fatty acid content and significant 5α-reductase inhibition, suggesting potential for developing anti-androgenic alopecia products.

This study found that keratin derivatives with functionalized thiol groups improved binding to both natural and bleached hair fibers, suggesting a promising strategy for enhancing keratin's durability in hair repair.

This study examined the structural and biochemical mechanisms of human lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, detailing substrate and product binding processes at the catalytic site and suggesting potential for drug delivery targeting hydrophobic molecules.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) regulates the degradation of p27 in MCF-7 breast cancer and OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cells, involving SKP2 as a key factor.

The authors concluded that increased expression of the HSD11B1 gene in adipose tissue correlates with obesity markers and predicts insulin resistance, but this association is independent of polycystic ovary syndrome when adiposity is controlled for.

This study's molecular dynamics simulations suggest that electrostatic interactions mainly stabilize peptide binding to human hair keratin, with the protein's dielectric constant significantly affecting free energy calculations.

This study found that transdermal DHT treatment increased penile length in boys with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, but post-pubertal growth was limited and carried potential prostate complications.

This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats altered steroid hormone homeostasis and caused kidney damage, suggesting potential risks for patients with renal dysfunction on androgen or antiandrogen therapy.

This case report describes a Thai male with TRPS1 who exhibited unique and unreported features such as hypoplastic mandibular condyles, double mental foramina, and distinctive hair abnormalities.

In this study of a TRPS type I patient, many genes related to keratin and hair development were down-regulated in balding scalp areas, providing new insights into TRPS and hair morphogenesis.

This study found that adult patients with Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 exhibited a higher prevalence of various morphofunctional, inflammatory, and proliferative skin disorders compared to healthy controls.

This study found that epithelial components of calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe showed lectin binding and keratin staining patterns similar to normal hair follicles, with prominent Con A staining in tumor giant cells.

This study found that novel compounds moderately inhibited 5α-reductase type 1 activity compared to finasteride, offering valuable data on structure-activity relationships.

This study found that inhibiting 11β-HSD1 can partially reverse the negative impact of glucocorticoids on dermal papilla cells in human scalps, suggesting potential for treating stress-related hair loss.

This study found that older men with vertex balding have lower circulating levels of the protein IGFBP-3 and higher levels of IGF-1.

This review discusses the impaired functionality of regulatory T cells in the pancreas during the development of Type 1 diabetes, highlighting their role in disease pathogenesis, potential of Treg-based therapies, and challenges in clinical applications.

In a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, this study found that purple corn extract may improve symptoms by inhibiting prostate enlargement, reducing androgen receptor signaling, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects.

This study found that peptidylarginine deiminase type III and trichohyalin are coincidentally expressed in the infant rat hair follicle, but trichohyalin deimination occurs after their expression during development.

The researchers reported that inhibiting 11β-HSD1 activity in human dermal papilla cells may reduce the negative effects of glucocorticoids on hair growth, suggesting potential treatment for stress-related hair loss.

This case report discusses a 27-month-old girl with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, who showed minor improvement in skeletal features and alopecia after high-dose oral calcium and vitamin D3 treatment.

Antisense oligonucleotides show promise for treating Myotonic Dystrophy type I.

This case study reported a neonate of Indian descent with localized hypotrichosis type 1 due to a likely pathogenic deletion in the DSG4 gene, marking the first such case from India.

In this thesis, researchers explored ways to enhance the management of myotonic dystrophy type 1 by investigating the genetic inheritance patterns, especially small-sized repeat expansions, and assessing cardiac care, energy expenditure, and body composition in affected individuals.

This research found that the microtubule catastrophe factor KIF18B plays a crucial role in promoting spindle orientation in keratinocytes, linking this process to cell fate decisions during hair follicle morphogenesis.

The review discusses the diverse roles of WNT10B in mammary gland development, immune function, and its potential implications in cancer and regenerative processes, with no new experimental results.
