April 2016 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” Daylight photodynamic therapy is effective and well-tolerated for treating actinic keratoses with minimal side effects.
December 2013 in “Estudo Geral (Universidade de Coimbra)” This research investigated the design and synthesis of steroid-based compounds as aromatase inhibitors for breast cancer, finding that certain structural modifications significantly enhance their inhibitory potency.
January 2013 in “Hunan Agricultural Sciences” In this study, Lactobacillus reuteri and Bacillus natto were found to potentially replace Aureomycin in alleviating weaning stress in piglets, based on growth, diarrhea rate, immunity, and other health indicators.
December 2012 in “Bulletin of Egyptian Society for Physiological Sciences” This study found that topical application of copper (II) albumin complex improved healing signs in rats with full thickness thermal burns, enhancing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pain modulating effects.
December 2011 in “Thorax” In this study, researchers reported that individuals from iodine-deficient regions have an increased risk of developing hypothyroidism from MDR-TB treatment regimens containing PAS and/or Prothionamide.
July 2003 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery” Stopping certain drugs can improve skin conditions, arsenicosis affects over half of a Bangladeshi village, males are more vulnerable, and certain treatments are effective for warts, acne, and psoriasis. Smoking and drinking are linked to psoriasis in men, a cream helps with a type of skin cancer, and low iron levels don't directly cause chronic hair loss in women.
April 1992 in “Current opinion in therapeutic patents” This study reports the development of novel 4-amido-Δ4,6-steroids as potential inhibitors of 5α-reductase, showing promising in vitro results for conditions like acne and benign prostatic cancer.
January 2023 in “Italian journal of dermatology and venereology” This study found that a new oral supplement with sulfurated amino acids and trace elements effectively improved hair growth and reduced hair loss in women with telogen effluvium and mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia.
August 2022 in “Nutrients” This ex vivo study found that hair follicles in female pattern hair loss exhibited nutrient insufficiency and dormant metabolism, but maintained nutrient uptake capability, suggesting potential benefits of nutritional supplementation as an adjunct therapy.
January 2022 in “Current Enzyme Inhibition” This study found that two novel nonsteroidal derivatives inhibited specific enzymes in vitro and in vivo, leading to dihydrotestosterone accumulation in androgen-dependent glands, suggesting potential therapeutic use for mood improvement in the elderly.
January 2016 in “대한피부과학회지” This study observed no significant association between early-onset androgenetic alopecia and medical comorbidities in the Korean population.

September 2018 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” In this study, researchers observed that cosmetic peroxide bleaching causes oxidative damage and protein loss in human hair, not only affecting the cuticle but also deeper cortical structures, correlating with bleaching severity.
26 citations
