research Insulin resistance and its relationship with high molecular weight adiponectin in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome and a maternal history of polycystic ovary syndrome
Teens with PCOS and a mom with PCOS have higher insulin resistance and lower adiponectin levels, which could signal early metabolic problems.
research Androgen receptors are only present in mesenchyme-derived dermal papilla cells of red deer (Cervus elaphus) neck follicles when raised androgens induce a mane in the breeding season
Red deer only have androgen receptors in neck hair cells for mane growth during breeding season.
research The Modified Ferriman-Gallwey Score and Hirsutism among Filipino Women
An mFG score of 7 or higher indicates hirsutism in Filipino women, often linked to higher free testosterone levels.
research Effects of Hydrogels on Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells Paracrine Activity and Extracellular Vesicles Production
Hydrogels can enhance stem cell activity, but more research is needed to optimize their use.

New imaging and testing methods can effectively assess hair shape changes and damage.
research Hirsutism scoring in polycystic ovary syndrome: concordance between clinicians' and patients' self-scoring
Patients with PCOS tend to score their hirsutism higher than clinicians, making self-scoring less useful for diagnosis.
research Substrate specific sulfatase activity from hair follicles in recessive X-linked ichthyosis
Recessive X-linked ichthyosis involves a less efficient enzyme in hair follicles, suggesting two distinct enzymes.
research Ratio of ovarian stroma and total ovarian area by ultrasound in prediction of hyperandrogenemia in reproductive-aged Thai women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A diagnostic test
Ultrasound measurement of the ovarian stroma to total area ratio is not a reliable single predictor of high male hormone levels in Thai women with PCOS, but works better when combined with clinical signs.
