Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a chronic skin condition best treated early with surgery for better outcomes and less recurrence.

This study observed that while both minoxidil and botanically-derived 5-alpha reductase inhibitors significantly increased hair count and diameter in women with female pattern hair loss, minoxidil was more effective, especially for greater hair diameter increases, but had more troublesome side effects.

This review covers androgenetic alopecia's epidemiology, pathogenesis, current management options, and research trends, concluding that no definitive cure exists despite extensive interest and ongoing genetic research efforts.

In this study, the ethanol extract of Zapoteca portoricensis stem significantly reduced markers of testosterone-induced benign prostate hyperplasia in male albino rats without harming liver and kidney function.

This article reviews the mechanism, usage, and alternatives of the medication minoxidil in dermatology and reports no new clinical outcomes.

This study demonstrated that steroidal carbamates 7–10 altered mRNA expression related to lipid metabolism in hamster flank organs and inhibited 5α-reductase activity without binding to the progesterone receptor.

Any drug can cause skin reactions, but antibiotics, NSAIDs, and psychotropic drugs are more common, with some reactions being life-threatening.

This study explored the structure and function of lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, revealing its dual role in substrate catalysis and as a lipophilic ligand carrier, potentially informing future drug delivery design.

In this study of Danioninae species, researchers reported that the presence of breeding tubercles on the pectoral fins is conserved in certain species and linked to local androgen conversion, with steroid 5-α-reductase playing a crucial role in their development.

This study introduced hydrogel microneedles loaded with palladium nanoparticles, which utilize the inherent cytotoxicity of polyethyleneimine to enhance the effectiveness of doxorubicin in treating melanoma, achieving a tumor inhibition rate of up to 98% in a murine model.

This study found that combining shikimic acid with Prunus mume fruit extract significantly reduces type I 5α-reductase levels in testosterone-stressed skin sebocytes, surpassing the effects of shikimic acid or standard acne treatments alone, and shows promise for stable, non-irritating acne remedies in cosmetic formulations.

This study found a significant association between finasteride use and increased risk of memory impairment, highlighting the need for risk communication and routine cognitive monitoring for long-term users.

In this case report, two patients with polyautoimmunity and difficult-to-treat lupus erythematosus experienced significant symptom improvement after adding anifrolumab to their regimen, suggesting its potential as an effective add-on therapy for refractory cutaneous symptoms in autoimmune conditions characterized by elevated interferon alpha activity.

This study reported the development of a scalp serum containing Beta-Sitosterol and nutrient-rich oils, showing stable physicochemical properties, suggesting potential for promoting hair growth and scalp health, though further clinical testing in humans is needed to confirm effectiveness.

In this study, researchers investigated the use of the Pulse Booster Drug Delivery Mesojectgun technology for non-invasive treatment of scalp conditions, finding improvements in hair volume, thickness, and reduction of hair loss in four participants with alopecia after applying specific active ingredients.

In this review, the researchers reported that 5α-reductase inhibitors demonstrated neuroprotective effects and reduced dyskinesias in animal models of Parkinson's disease, suggesting their potential for repurposing to manage symptoms in men with PD.

This study observed that chronic and acute exposure to finasteride negatively impacted development, reproduction, and gene expression in Daphnia magna, highlighting the environmental risks of this pharmaceutical for freshwater ecosystems.

This study found that elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) wound dressings promote tissue regeneration and stability without rejection in ex vivo and in vivo models, indicating potential for hard-to-heal wound treatment.

In this review, researchers reported that Psoralea corylifolia, extensively used in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, exhibits various pharmacological activities, including antioxidant and antidiabetic effects, and is primarily used for treating skin diseases. The authors suggest further clinical trials to explore its therapeutic potential.
