May 2011 in “Journal of Clinical Oncology” This study found that paclitaxel poliglumex showed limited effectiveness and was relatively well tolerated in post-menopausal women with advanced NSCLC, suggesting further testing of this treatment may not be justified.
23 citations
,
January 2016 in “Frontiers in immunology” This review discusses the potential of combining low-dose IL-2 with islet antigens to enhance antigen-specific Treg function in type 1 diabetes, but reports no new clinical results.

August 2014 in “The FASEB Journal” This study found that the catalytically inactive serine protease CAP1/Prss8 can still induce skin disorders in mice and is subject to inhibition by nexin-1, independent of its catalytic activity.
December 2025 in “Drug Design Development and Therapy” This retrospective study reported that in HER-2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients, anlotinib combined with taxane/capecitabine showed superior disease control rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival compared to bevacizumab plus chemotherapy, with both treatments having tolerable safety profiles.
May 2021 in “The FASEB Journal” This study presents the crystal structure of human SRD5A2 with finasteride and reveals insights into its enzyme catalysis and inhibition mechanisms, which may inform drug development.
In this study, baricitinib treatment for severe alopecia areata was associated with complete hair regrowth after 12 months in two patients, suggesting it may be an effective alternative to traditional therapies, although safety and clinical implications need careful consideration.
September 2025 in “Experimental & Molecular Medicine” This study observed that the small molecules KY19382 and KY19334 inhibited cancerous traits in human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cells by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, indicating their potential as treatments for cancers involving CDK1 overexpression and diseases related to CXXC5 accumulation.

June 1998 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study observed that PAI-2 is consistently expressed in differentiating cells of murine hair and nail, suggesting it may function as a marker of differentiation and possibly protect against premature cell death.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that the loss of transcription factor Ovol2 in epidermal and hair follicle stem cells leads to migration defects, which are partially improved by deleting the EMT-inducing Zeb1.
In a phase 2 trial, researchers tested a topical formulation for alopecia areata and found significant hair regrowth with the treatment, but these improvements did not lead to substantial enhancements in health-related quality of life.
