Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.

Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.

Hair follicle stem cells can change their role to ensure proper hair development.

A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.

Glucocorticoid receptors help regulate genes important for skin health and hair growth.

Affected males are born with ambiguous genitalia, raised as females, but develop male traits at puberty due to enzyme deficiency.

New methods to make oxasteroids show promise for medical treatments like osteoporosis and breast cancer.

Women with hyperandrogenism have higher androgen levels and lower SHBG, which may contribute to conditions like excessive hair growth and early puberty.

Testosterone in human pancreas cells boosts insulin production.

Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, which could be a new target for treating hair loss and other skin conditions driven by testosterone.

Corneal cells can transform into hair-producing skin cells when exposed to certain signals.

Human hair follicle stem cells can be turned into red blood cells.

Lower TGFß1 levels help stem cells become beige fat cells.

Seven genes are highly expressed in both germ-line and hematopoietic stem cells.

Male tissue has more cell death than female tissue after ischemia, and some neurosteroids only protect female cells.

Ovarian steroid cell tumors can mimic adrenal hyperplasia, and surgery can normalize hormone levels.

Rat liver stem cells can grow into organoids and help treat liver diseases.

Human dermal stem cells can become functional skin pigment cells.

Increased 11β-HSD1 activity in skin may contribute to aging and could be targeted to reduce aging effects.

Testosterone and some of its forms can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in skin.

Blocking a specific enzyme can reduce the negative impact of stress hormones on hair growth cells.

The estrogen receptor pathway controls hair growth cycles and affects skin cell growth.

Canine hair follicle cells convert progesterone into various metabolites, mainly cortisol.

Isoproterenol helps hair follicle stem cells turn into beating heart muscle cells.

Dog hair follicle stem cells can turn into fat cells.

Steroid-binding globulins have important roles beyond just transporting steroids.

Sox2-positive cells determine specific hair follicle types in mammals.
