This study found that distinct isoenzymes of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase are expressed in human adrenals and gonads compared to the placenta and skin.

In this study, UVFD and sUVRD techniques revealed distinctive characteristics of GD lesions, suggesting that GD might be more common in younger individuals and females than previously thought, possibly due to underdiagnosis. Incorporating dermatoscopy in exams may help improve GD detection and management.

This article discusses the potential role of oral DHEA, available as a 'dietary supplement' in the US, in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, calling for clinical trials to assess its safety.

This study reports on an ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial of ex vivo gene therapy for treating severe Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, involving six adult participants with COL7A1 mutations resulting in deficient type VII collagen production.

The study's findings on VLDL as a biomarker for hair loss are unreliable.

This study investigated vitamin D receptor expression in normal hair follicles and those affected by alopecia areata, focusing on various markers using immunohistochemical staining.

This review explores how vitamin D3 analogs could target various skin processes and diseases, potentially offering selective and effective treatments beyond psoriasis, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case study reported that absence of alopecia does not reliably predict responsiveness to vitamin D treatment in Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, as demonstrated by a patient with normal hair growth who showed extreme resistance.

In this study, hair samples from dogs with chronic degenerative valve disease showed significantly higher concentrations of certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals compared to healthy dogs, suggesting a potential link that warrants further investigation.

This study found that DALL-E 2 performed poorly in generating accurate images of most pediatric dermatological conditions, highlighting the need for more domain-specific and inclusive training data.

This article reviews the potential uses of PDRN in regenerative and aesthetic medicine, noting promising results in various treatments but highlighting the need for further long-term studies to confirm their safety and effectiveness.

In this study using a rat model, discontinuing dutasteride improved some relaxant responses but did not fully restore erectile function, indicating a potential time-dependent detriment of the drug.

This report describes the enhancement of the French SNIIRAM/SNDS healthcare database through external data linkages, highlighting its potential use in medical research despite complexities in the integration process.

This study reports that a new DART-HRMS method can effectively analyze intact hair for drug use timelines, with cocaine detection aligning with forensic standards and identifying multiple drugs from high-resolution data.

This study found that conditioned medium from hair dermal papilla cells stimulated fetal bovine aortic endothelial cell growth and migration, suggesting VEGF-like activity in the medium.

This review of the JEADV editorial report highlights the journal's significant growth in submissions, quality, and impact over the course of the pandemic, but offers no new research findings.

The estradiol valerate/dienogest oral contraceptive helps with heavy periods, may improve acne and symptoms in PCOS, and doesn't affect sexual function.

This review explores the biological functions of vitamin D, highlighting how deficiency may increase the risk of various diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, dutasteride 1 mg daily reduced heavy drinking days and drinks per week among treatment-seeking men, particularly benefiting those with high baseline drinking to cope motives.

This article reviews the influence of vitamin D on various dermatological diseases and suggests that vitamin D supplementation might aid in maintaining skin cell homeostasis; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the relationship between vitamin D and various skin diseases but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need to assess and correct vitamin D deficiencies.

This review discusses hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women, emphasizing DHEA's unique ability to convert into sex steroids only in targeted tissues, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in vitro treatments with 5alpha-reductase inhibitors and androgen receptor antagonists strongly stimulate VEGF expression in dermal papilla cells.

This review discusses the potential role of vitamin D deficiency in cardiovascular and renal diseases and suggests that supplemental vitamin D could benefit cardiovascular outcomes, especially in African American and postmenopausal women; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that human liver dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase (DHEA ST) catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of minoxidil, indicating another pathway contributing to its metabolism in humans.

This study found that finasteride reduces microvascular density and VEGF expression in the seminal vesicle tissue of rats.

This study observed that three-dimensional cultures of dermal papilla cells enhanced endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis in vitro, which may improve vascularization in tissue-engineered skin constructs.

This study used homology modeling to create a detailed in silico structure of 5α-reductase type II, suggesting it can aid in designing steroid reductase drugs.
