The researchers reviewed cepharanthine, a long-used bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, for its antiviral properties, including significant inhibition of SARS-CoV-2. They discussed cepharanthine's other pharmacological actions, highlighted plasma membrane fluidity as a key antiviral mechanism, and examined its safety, bioavailability, and potential for new clinical applications.

This study found that invasomes enhanced the iontophoretic transdermal delivery of finasteride in rabbits, increasing AUC and T1/2 compared to oral suspension.

In this study, researchers found that a composition containing mannose-6-phosphate significantly reduced the total skin pore area by 24% in women after 56 days and by 30.2% in men after 7 days, suggesting its effectiveness in improving pore appearance by targeting dermal and epidermal modifications.

This study demonstrated that a finasteride-loaded proniosome significantly enhanced transfollicular delivery and hair growth in mice without causing skin irritation, with effects comparable to a 2% minoxidil solution.

This study found that isoliensinine, a natural compound identified from a database, effectively prevented stress-induced hair greying in mice by blocking β-2 adrenergic receptors on melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles.

In this study, researchers created a novel fibrous membrane inspired by ancient Chinese medicine that effectively promotes hair follicle regeneration and wound healing in deep burn injuries by releasing quercetin, copper, and silicon ions.

Treating sleep apnea in young obese women with PCOS can improve heart health and insulin sensitivity.

Finasteride effectively blocks rat enzymes, but with varying methods and strength.

This study found that pubic skin fibroblasts respond to androgens, increasing 5α-reductase activity via an androgen receptor-mediated mechanism, suggesting its potential as a marker of androgen action in vitro.

This study found that prostaglandin D2 promotes androgen receptor and AKT signaling in human dermal papilla cells through the DP2 receptor, potentially contributing to androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the role of the androgen receptor in breast cancer as a prognostic indicator and potential therapeutic target, highlighting its controversial therapeutic value and the need for further study.

This study found that anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a valuable primary variable for classifying functional androgenization, especially in distinguishing ovarian-related groups, and supports the novel stratification system.

This study reported that metallic-glass-coated tattoo needles reduced trauma and improved tattoo quality in pig skin experiments compared to uncoated needles.

COVID-19 can cause different types of hair loss, with telogen effluvium being the most common.

This study synthesized indole-acenaphthylene compounds using a magnetic nanocatalyst and explored their photoluminescence properties for detecting copper ions in a mixed solvent system, achieving a detection limit of 9.5 ∙ 10 –6 M.

This study found that continuous implantation of melatonin in cashmere goats advanced the growth cycle of cashmere by inducing secondary hair follicle development and altering gene expression.

Pharmacists play a crucial role in patient care and optimizing treatment outcomes.

This Ph.D. project aims to evaluate the self-assembling potential of hair keratin extracts and study the cellular response to both crude and purified keratins, highlighting their potential applications from biomedical to water remediation.

An intact skin barrier is crucial to prevent infection in cases of tether-induced tenosynovitis.

This study found no direct association between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome in the Chinese population, though AGA was closely linked with higher systolic blood pressure in men.

In this study, UVB irradiation of organ-cultured human anagen hair follicles in vitro reduced hair elongation and increased cell death, affecting hair growth and regulatory processes.

In this study, EPC-K, a compound with antioxidant and moisturizing effects, was found to decompose significantly under certain conditions, impacting its stability in quasi drug hair-growing products.

The document concludes that inflammation markers can be used in diabetes, vitamin D3 affects immune pathways, hyperthyroidism changes hormone levels, androgen levels help diagnose Adrenocortical Carcinoma, erectile dysfunction is linked to diabetes, hypogonadism is common in HIV-infected males, and hormones can be biomarkers for various conditions.

This study suggests that while hair analysis using GC-MS is a sensitive method for detecting cocaine ingestion, it may not reliably indicate the amount, timing, or duration of drug use due to interindividual variability and multiple incorporation mechanisms.

This study found that lower serum ferritin levels were significantly associated with telogen effluvium compared to healthy subjects and may serve as a potential biomarker for its diagnosis.

This study adapted a method for culturing melanocytes from human hair follicles to horses, successfully creating partially melanotic equine melanocytes, potentially advancing hair follicle biology research across species.

This article provides a clinical update on alopecia areata, highlighting the disease's multifactorial causes, challenges it presents, and the current treatment options, with a focus on comparing international guidelines and discussing comorbidities.

This study reports that difluoromethyl nitrile oxide can rapidly functionalize various alkenes at room temperature, leading to products that can transform into valuable medicinal chemistry building blocks like CF2H-isoxazolines for bioactive molecule modification.

This study investigated the expression of KRTAP6 gene family in Gansu Alpine fine-wool sheep, finding significant expression during the anagen phase and a negative correlation between KRTAP6-1 and KRTAP6-5 expressions with wool fiber diameter and strength.

This study found that lipids extracted from Schizochytrium sp. significantly enhanced the proliferation and survival of dermal papilla cells under oxidative stress, reduced reactive oxygen species, inhibited ferroptosis, and promoted antioxidant genes, which improved hair growth in experimental settings, suggesting a potential treatment for alopecia.
