research Molecular epidemiology of hypospadias: Review of genetic and environmental risk factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Regulation of masculinization: androgen signalling for external genitalia development
Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research Significant effects of mild endogenous hormonal changes in humans: considerations for low-dose testing.
Small changes in hormones can significantly impact health, showing the importance of sensitive testing for chemicals that disrupt hormones.
research The profile of steroid hormones in human fetal and adult ovaries
Fetal ovaries produce different hormones than adult ovaries, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals may affect this process.
research Contaminants of emerging concern in the fetal environment
Fetal environments contain various chemicals that may disrupt hormones.
research Cyberspace Chat
Environmental factors and chemicals might affect hormone balance and contribute to common hair loss.
research A preliminary study on the relationship between environmental endocrine disruptors and precocious puberty in girls
Reducing phthalate exposure may help prevent early puberty in girls.
research Could the Risk of Chronic Degenerative Valve Disease (CDVD) in Dogs Depend on Exposure to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals Polluting the Environment?
Exposure to certain chemicals may increase the risk of heart disease in dogs.
research An Analytical Framework for the Selective Extraction and Determination of Nine Multiclass Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals from Haircare Products
Haircare products may expose users to harmful chemicals despite regulations.
research Female Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens can treat female hormonal conditions, but environmental ones may harm reproductive health.
research Cyproteronacetat zur topischen Therapie androgenabhängiger Erkrankungen
Cyproterone acetate is used for topical treatment of diseases dependent on male hormones.
research Transcriptomic profiling in Silurana tropicalis testes exposed to finasteride
Finasteride affects frog testes by increasing testosterone, decreasing 5α-DHT, and impacting genes related to reproduction and other functions.
research Stem cells in tissues, organoids, and cancers
Stem cells are crucial for tissue growth, cancer treatment, and disease modeling, but challenges remain in clinical use.
research The Aromatase Inhibitor Fadrozole and the 5-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride Affect Gonadal Differentiation and Gene Expression in the Frog Silurana tropicalis
Fadrozole and Finasteride change frog sex ratios and cause intersex animals with altered gene expressions.
research Hormonal activity in commonly used Black hair care products: evaluating hormone disruption as a plausible contribution to health disparities
Common Black hair care products may affect hormone levels and potentially impact health, especially in reproductive and metabolic areas.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Hair care product use among pregnant women of color: protocol for a feasibility educational intervention
Educational efforts can reduce harmful chemical exposure from hair products in pregnant Women of Color.
research Prevalence of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Like Symptoms in the General Practice of an Obstetrics and Gynecological Office on the Island of Tobago: A Retrospective Chart Analysis
19.7% of Afro-Caribbean women in Tobago have PCOS.
research Heterozygous COL5A1 deletion in a cat with classical Ehlers–Danlos syndrome
A cat's poor wound healing was linked to a genetic deletion in the COL5A1 gene.
research Environmental Factors and Puberty Timing: Expert Panel Research Needs
Chemicals and body size might change when puberty starts and progresses, but more research is needed to confirm this.
research Clinical and biological impact of the exposome on the skin
Environmental factors, hormones, nutrition, and stress all significantly affect skin health and aging.

research The Black identity, hair product use, and breast cancer scale
The BHBS is a valid tool to study cultural norms and breast cancer risk in Black women.
research Topical application of synthetic melanin promotes tissue repair
Synthetic melanin applied to skin speeds up wound healing.
research Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Adolescents
PCOS in teens causes hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, and can lead to infertility and other health issues.
research Thyroid hormones and androgens differentially regulate gene expression in testes and ovaries of sexually mature Silurana tropicalis
Thyroid hormones and androgens affect gene expression in frog reproductive organs differently between males and females.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome, medical semantics, and the political ecology of health in India
PCOS in India is linked to broader sociocultural and environmental changes, not just diet and exercise.
