In this study, Betula platyphylla extract, particularly fraction H3-2, promoted human derma papilla cell proliferation and increased expression of certain growth factors, suggesting potential benefits for hair loss prevention.

This study reviews the potential of dibenzo derivatives as safer cancer treatments but finds conflicting evidence about their effectiveness, possibly due to structural differences among the compounds, and reports no new results.

This study reports that hormonal therapies, particularly combined oral contraceptives, are commonly used and effective in treating acne in women, especially those with hormonal imbalances or specific acne patterns, regardless of their serum androgen levels.

This study reports that structural and biochemical analysis of steroid 5α-reductases clarifies how they mediate steroid reduction with NADPH, potentially aiding in designing targeted therapies.

This trial explores whether spironolactone is more effective than cyclines for treating moderate acne in adult women, providing a potential alternative amidst concerns over antibiotic resistance.

In this review, the authors examine the causes, risk factors, and management strategies for chemotherapy-induced hair loss, highlighting its psychological impact and underscoring the role of healthcare providers, especially nurses, in supporting patients through this distressing side effect.

This study found that pectin lyase-modified red ginseng extract may promote hair growth by enhancing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, along with inhibiting testosterone-induced 5-alpha-reductase in human hair dermal papilla cells.

This article reviews treatment-induced sexual dysfunctions related to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and reports no new results; it highlights the need to better define and understand this controversial topic.

This study found that Avicennia marina extract and its active compound avicequinone C inhibit enzymes and receptors related to androgenic alopecia, potentially supporting hair growth in cultured dermal papilla cells.

TNF-a may not be as involved in certain types of hair loss as previously thought.

This review details the adverse effects and drug interactions of biologic agents used in rheumatoid disease treatment, highlighting their significant side effect profile without reporting new clinical findings.

This article discusses the newly approved drug dutasteride for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia, but reports no new research findings; the authors advise obtaining complete information before prescribing.

This article discusses the role of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors in prostate cancer prevention and highlights a medical quandary, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported that BRL 7660 significantly reduced sebum secretion and acne symptoms in human studies with topical administration, but the placebo effect and commercial pressures halted further investigations.

In this study, researchers found that crude extracts from Avicennia marina and its component avicequinone C inhibit mechanisms contributing to androgenic alopecia in vitro, including 5α-reductase activity and DHT-AR interactions, potentially promoting hair growth and delaying the catagen phase in human dermal papilla cells.

This study found that the TrichoScan effectively measures hair growth changes, showing significant increases in hair counts and thickness in men with androgenetic alopecia after 6 months of using 5% minoxidil solution.

This study analyzed 3,295 cases from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System to describe demographics and reporting trends of post-finasteride syndrome, finding that most reports came from patients rather than health professionals.

This study found that keratin 17 and TNFα play interdependent roles in regulating hair follicle cycling, with TNFα required for the anagen–catagen transition and its ablation partially rescuing hair cycling defects in K17-null mice.

This study suggests that Notch1 acts as a key signal in skin epithelium, promoting immune cell recruitment and aiding in normal skin repair after damage.

This study highlights the evolving understanding of acne's pathophysiology and suggests that targeting pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-17, IL-23, and TNFα with biological antibodies may offer new treatment strategies for severe acne and its scars.

This review discusses recent advances in how proinflammatory cytokines affect epidermal stem cell function during skin wound healing and introduces potential therapies targeting these cells and cytokines.

In this study, blocking the CXCR3 receptor in mice prevented the development of alopecia areata by inhibiting the accumulation of specific T cells in the skin, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach for humans.

This review discusses strategies to enhance mesenchymal stem cell therapy effectiveness but reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for improved consistency and efficacy in MSC-based treatments.

In this study, researchers isolated and identified diverse endophytes from plants in Asia, finding that these microorganisms have significant potential for producing useful metabolites, including enzymes and antibiotics.

This study validated the VQ-Dermato, the first dermatology-specific quality of life instrument in French, and found it to be reliable, acceptable for routine use, and more responsive than the SF36.

This study found that Schistosoma mansoni cercariae stimulate epidermal keratinocytes in mice, initiating pro-inflammatory responses and barrier repair mechanisms akin to those in wound healing.

This study found that Puerariae Flos extract inhibited testosterone 5α-reductase and promoted hair growth in mouse models, suggesting its potential use for treating androgenic alopecia.

This study developed and validated a 50-item questionnaire, the PCOSQ-50, to effectively assess the quality of life in Iranian women with polycystic ovary syndrome, addressing aspects often missed by previous questionnaires.

This study found that applying topical imiquimod during mid and late telogen in mice activates hair follicle stem cells and influences immune cell infiltration, promoting hair cycle entry independently of Wnt signaling.

This study identifies substance P, TNFα, and IFNγ as novel regulators of prolactin and its receptor expression in human skin, suggesting intracutaneous prolactin is not controlled by dopamine.
