This study found that JetPeel-assisted topical minoxidil significantly improved hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to topical minoxidil alone or no treatment.

This article explores the concept of cycling synergistic nutrients to minimize overdose risks and enhance nutrient absorption, but presents no new clinical findings; it suggests applicability across various health domains.

This study found that nearly all nurses caring for chemotherapy patients showed detectable levels of cyclophosphamide in their urine, indicating significant occupational exposure to this antineoplastic drug.

This study found that low frequency sonophoresis may reduce percutaneous absorption of sodium fluorescein-loaded liposomes by partially blocking follicular pathways in the skin.

In this case study, zinc deficiency persisted despite supplementation in a patient with severe malnutrition and empyema, potentially due to nutrient absorption competition and proton pump inhibitor use.

This study observed that DDAIP-HCl enhanced the permeation of minoxidil through human cadaver skin, suggesting potential for improved treatment efficacy in male pattern hair loss.

This study found that microinfusion of 0.5% minoxidil in the scalp led to a significant reduction in diastolic blood pressure, indicating systemic absorption, while the control group experienced a rise in systolic pressure possibly due to procedural pain.

In this study, BECD-treated wavy hair showed reduced undulation and improved straightening after drying, as BECD enhanced the contraction and rearrangement of molecular chains in non-keratin proteins, unlike untreated hair, which retained its wavy structure.

This case report of a 16-month-old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica, who showed atypical symptoms and normal zinc serum levels, highlights how genetic testing and zinc supplementation led to marked improvement in her condition, underscoring the importance of accurate diagnosis in metabolic disorders.

In this study, researchers investigated genetic variants in pharmacogenes affecting tadalafil and finasteride pharmacokinetics, finding fed volunteers had higher drug exposure than fasting individuals, but genetic variation did not significantly impact pharmacokinetics after correcting for multiple comparisons.

This study found that a sub-fraction of Noni fruit, FEA-3, showed hair growth-promoting effects in a rabbit model of androgenic alopecia, similar to Minoxidil.

This study developed a stable, cosmetically appealing formulation for the topical delivery of the peptide FOL-005, enhancing skin permeation and maintaining stability by keeping the peptide solid and in a water-free environment with particle sizes under 10 µm.

This study found petroleum ether to be more effective than methanol at extracting β-sitosterol from Eclipta alba, with higher concentrations detected using HPTLC and HPLC methods. The extracted materials contained metals within safety limits.

This study found that although soil and forage in Middle Paraíba, Brazil, contained normal to high copper levels, the surrounding bovine populations showed signs of copper deficiency likely due to antagonistic effects from high iron, zinc, and manganese levels.

This study found a negative correlation between lead and calcium levels in the scalp hair and finger nails of exposed and unexposed males, with variations suggesting these tissues can reflect metabolic changes over time.

Targeting drugs to hair follicles can treat skin conditions, but reaching deep follicle areas is hard and needs more research.

This article reviews the digitization of historical issues of the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, highlighting the impact and citation durability of its 1970 publications; it reports no new clinical results.

This study highlights the potential benefits of combining dermoscopy with natural oil blends to improve the treatment of skin disorders and enhance patient compliance, but it emphasizes the need for further large-scale research to optimize these approaches in dermatology.

This infographic compares the safety profiles of SH‑1, a cosmetic ingredient, which showed no systemic absorption, and PP405, an investigational drug with dose-dependent systemic uptake and potential threshold breaches, highlighting differences in safety between cosmetic and investigational substances according to this report.

This study reported that a bioderived melanoidin/tannic acid nanocomplex forms a durable, antioxidant-active coating on hair fibers, providing enhanced UV protection and improving tensile resilience by suppressing oxidative stress and activating endogenous antioxidant pathways.

In this study, the researchers developed and optimized a curcumin nanocrystal gel to enhance skin permeability, reporting improved dissolution properties and antiproliferative effects on cell lines, suggesting it as a promising topical delivery system.

This review reports that pharmacogenomic variations in the SULT1A1 enzyme significantly influence the response to minoxidil treatment for alopecia, suggesting personalized therapeutic strategies could improve efficacy while emerging pharmaceutical technologies aim to optimize oral minoxidil's absorption and minimize side effects.

In this study, two cases of generalized hypertrichosis in young children were reported as resulting from indirect exposure to topical minoxidil through skin contact with caregivers, emphasizing the importance of preventing unintended contact and recognizing potential reversible side effects in pediatric populations.

This review highlights the potential of microalgae as sustainable sources for nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals, emphasizing their applications in functional foods, dietary supplements, and cosmetics for roles such as anti-aging and photoprotection in alignment with sustainability principles.

In this study, researchers observed that patients with Alopecia Areata had significantly lower serum zinc and higher copper levels compared to healthy controls, indicating a disrupted zinc-copper balance that may contribute to the disease's pathogenesis.

This narrative review highlights the critical role of pharmacists in optimizing topical corticosteroid therapy through proper agent selection, dosing, and patient education to manage various steroid-responsive skin conditions effectively.

This case report describes an 8-year-old boy with acrodermatitis enteropathica who showed significant recovery from severe symptoms after receiving a therapeutic zinc supplement.

In this case report, a 10-month-old ethnic minority infant from Xinjiang with acrodermatitis enteropathy improved clinically and biochemically after zinc supplementation, underscoring the importance of early genetic testing for SLC39A4 mutations and individualized zinc therapy in managing this disorder.

This case report highlights an atypical presentation of acrodermatitis enteropathica in an 18-year-old male, exhibiting symptoms like erythrokeratoderma variabilis with a positive response to high-dose oral zinc, underscoring the importance of considering zinc deficiency in unusual skin conditions.

This study found that microneedles co-delivering minoxidil and a nitric oxide donor effectively promoted hair growth and follicle transition to the growth phase in an alopecia mouse model, suggesting a promising new approach for androgenetic alopecia treatment.
