This study found that certain VDR gene polymorphisms are more prevalent in female pattern hair loss patients than in healthy controls, suggesting these polymorphisms may increase disease risk.

In this study, among Indian patients with triple-negative breast cancer, Ki-67 expression levels were high but not significantly associated with treatment response to a neoadjuvant docetaxel-carboplatin regimen, which showed complete clinical, imaging, and pathological response rates of 39.13%, 34.78%, and 47.61%, respectively.

This study found that puppies fed organic selenium had better retention of selenium compared to those fed inorganic selenium, with no significant difference in coat quality or hair growth.
