This study found that human hair surfaces exhibit nonhomogeneous wettability, potentially influenced by daily rhythms and even monthly changes possibly linked to the menstrual cycle.

In this study, novel substituted benzoyl benzoic acids and phenylacetic acids were potent and selective inhibitors of human steroid 5alpha-reductase type 2, with one compound showing promising bioavailability in rats for potential clinical evaluation.

This study observed that lipids in human hair accumulate in specific areas and do not significantly impact water permeability, highlighting the utility of AFMIR for studying complex biomaterials.

This study found that dutasteride reduced β-amyloid plaque load in a cerebral amyloidosis model, seemingly linked to mitochondrial apoptosis and autophagy processes.

This study suggests that minoxidil may serve as a suitable reference drug for high permeability classification in the Biopharmaceutics Classification System due to its consistent permeability across different intestinal segments and pH levels.

This research article evaluates the protein content of yeast grown on wood hydrolyzate, without providing new results or clinical findings.

In this study, 4-substituted N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as potential 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and antiandrogens.

Finasteride modifies 5-alpha-reductases through a two-step process, affecting inhibitor potency and possibly causing side effects.

This study reports that synthetic carbohydrate receptors effectively inhibit Zika virus infection in cell cultures by blocking early stages of viral entry.

This study found that Monascus cursory extraction reduced baldness, prostate hyperplasia, and tumor incidence in animal models of androgen-related diseases, suggesting it may be a promising new therapeutic candidate.

This study introduced a novel nonsteroidal androgen receptor antagonist that effectively controls sebum production in the golden Syrian hamster ear model through targeted follicular delivery.

This study found that hair proteome profiling and genetically variant peptide identification in hairs remained effective after an explosive blast, indicating potential for forensic human identification despite damage.

This study presents a method for directly measuring the solubility of solid chemicals in the skin's stratum corneum under various humidity conditions, emphasizing its importance for dermal drug delivery and chemical safety assessments.

This study identified a series of novel β-glucuronidase inhibitors that may help mitigate adverse effects of first-line anti-cancer drugs by targeting gut bacteria, based on virtual high-throughput screening findings.

This article describes the efficient synthesis of (S)-N-(2-bromo-6-methoxypyridin-4-yl)-2-hydroxy-2,4-dimethylpentanamide, a novel topical antiandrogen, with high purity and enantiomeric excess but reports no pharmacological results.

Cold waving solutions quickly reduce cystine to cysteine in hair.

This study introduces a novel in vitro model for clubfoot fibrosis to enable high-throughput drug screening and found that while the model increased collagen deposition, the antifibrotic drug minoxidil effectively inhibited the expression of collagen cross-linking enzymes.

In this chemical investigation, cyclospongiaquinone 1 from the sponge Verongula cf. rigida showed strong steroid 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, comparable to that of finasteride.

This study synthesized and verified the structures of Setipiprant's major and minor metabolites, confirming their regio- and enantioselectivity from earlier proposals in a clinical study.
