This study found that using gallate-containing formulations like EGCG or tannic acid increased the solubility and controlled release of finasteride in microspheres, enhancing its dermal penetration in pig skin by 10 to 50 times compared to a control.

Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.

This article outlines the synthesis of spiro[cyclohexane‐1,2′‐[2 H ]indene] derivatives similar to known steroid 5α‐reductase inhibitors, but it does not report experimental findings.

This study found that several newly synthesized dihydrobenzopyran compounds inhibited insulin secretion and had vasorelaxant activity, with some more potent than reference KATP channel activators, though compound 21 functioned as a Ca2+ entry blocker.

In this study, transgenic mice expressing Msx-2 developed flaky skin with hyperproliferation and misalignment in epidermal cells, suggesting Msx-2 plays a role in skin and appendage growth control.

This study found that CTIP2 is highly expressed in mouse skin during embryogenesis and adulthood, suggesting it may play a role in skin development and homeostasis.

This study provides the first crystal structure of the human SRD5A2 enzyme, revealing key insights into its function and inhibition which may aid future drug development.

This study found that in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells, 17β-estradiol repressed polyamine oxidase transcription by interacting with AP-1 sites on its promoter.

This study found that for obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, concurrent type 2 diabetes is linked to worsened metabolic but milder reproductive aspects of PCOS and does not hinder the return to regular menstruation one year after surgery.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are necessary for proper hearing and neurotransmission in the ear's inner hair cells.

The researchers reported that PEG-FGF2 conjugates, particularly Compound 6, significantly enhanced stability, proliferation, migration, and wound healing activity compared to native FGF2, despite some reduction in bioactivity near crucial binding domains.

This study found that knocking down SFRP2 in an AGA model improved hair regeneration and reduced cellular dysfunction, suggesting that targeting the SFRP2-FSTL1 axis could be a promising therapeutic strategy for androgenetic alopecia.

CaBP1 and 2 are important for maintaining the activity of calcium channels necessary for hearing in inner ear cells.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are necessary for proper hearing and neurotransmission in the ear's inner hair cells.

This study found that iontophoresis significantly enhances the skin penetration of magnesium salt of L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, especially in hairy mice, compared to passive diffusion.

This study found that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks the host factor IGF2BP1 to stabilize its RNA and enhance translation, and identified Cepharanthine and Trifluoperazine as potential treatments against the virus.

Accurate method measures finasteride levels in human plasma using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

This study identified novel 4-Amino-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one analogs as potent androgen receptor antagonists that show strong antiproliferative activity against prostate cancer cells, suggesting them as potential lead compounds for therapy development.

The compound (NH4)2Mn0.17Cu0.83Cl4.2H₂O has a specific structure, shows weak magnetism at low temperatures, and undergoes phase changes at high temperatures.

This study reports two cases of fatal metformin intoxication with hair concentrations significantly higher than those in subjects under treatment, marking the first use of hair analysis for such cases.

In this study of female pattern hair loss, oral finasteride 5 mg and topical minoxidil 5% both significantly improved hair density and patient satisfaction over 6 months, outperforming finasteride 2 mg, which showed limited improvement beyond the third month. All treatments were deemed safe.

In a keratinocyte-specific knockout mouse model, this study found that deleting GRK2 disrupted hair follicle homeostasis, causing cyst-like structures, abnormal growth patterns, and eventual hair loss, suggesting potential links to immune-mediated alopecias.

This study found that procyanidins effectively alleviate neuropathic pain in mice by significantly inhibiting MMP-9/2 activity.

In this study, TASP0382088 showed potent selective inhibition of the ALK5 receptor, significantly reducing Smad2 phosphorylation in mouse skin following topical application.

In this study, the synthesis and testing of new pyrroloquinoline derivatives identified compound 7p, which showed low micromolar cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and HeLa cells, highlighting its potential for development into a potent anticancer agent.

This review highlights cepharanthine as a promising candidate for COVID-19 treatment due to its antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and favorable pharmacokinetic and safety profile, but reports no new clinical results.

This study concludes that rhesus macaques are a suitable model for testing the pharmacological properties of finasteride and other 5aR inhibitors, due to their biochemical similarity to humans.

This study found that although diabetic patients undergoing a very low calorie diet experienced faster weight loss initially, those on a conventional diet and exercise plan maintained weight loss more effectively over five years.

In this noninferiority study, researchers found that a 0.2% caffeine-based topical liquid was not less effective than 5% minoxidil solution in improving hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia over six months.

In this study, a topical formulation with compounds from the monoterpenoid family significantly improved hair growth indicators like anagen:telogen ratio, hair fall, and visual hair density in men and women with pattern hair loss.
