This study concluded that finasteride, cyproterone acetate, and flutamide were similarly effective at reducing hirsutism in women, though they acted through different mechanisms.

This study found that excessive heat caused the most significant structural changes in hair from Caucasian and Afro samples, especially when combined with other treatments like bleaching and straightening.

This study found that gelatin microspheres delivering adipose-derived stem cells significantly accelerated diabetic wound healing in rats, suggesting a promising approach for enhancing cell-based therapies.

In this study, PEVIII, a nanocomposite chitosan-coated vesicle containing both α-hederin and hederacoside C, demonstrated notable antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a keratitis model, showing significant lesion reduction, tissue improvement, and decreased bacterial load and inflammatory markers compared to other treatments.

This study identified a new minoxidil analogue called triaminodil in an illegal hair-growth supplement, but no data on its chemical, toxicological, or pharmacological properties are available yet.

This study found that hair follicles in mice and humans can convert wound-related myofibroblasts into adipocytes, suggesting a potential pathway to reduce scar formation by activating BMP signaling.

This review explores the role of nutritional factors in hair loss, noting that iron and l-lysine supplementation may benefit some individuals, while excessive supplements can lead to hair shedding.

This study found that while MK-0773 significantly increased lean body mass in sarcopenic frail elderly women, it did not significantly improve muscle strength or physical function compared to placebo.

The document concludes that the exact way alcohol causes harm to fetal development is unknown, but it significantly affects nutrient transport to the fetus and a safe level of alcohol during pregnancy is not determined.

This study observed that keratose, derived from human hair, integrated well in mouse tissue and remodeled with collagen, suggesting potential as a non-toxic biomaterial for regenerative applications.

This study found that in women undergoing chemotherapy after breast surgery, topical minoxidil significantly shortened the duration of hair loss compared to a placebo without significant side effects.

This study found that aromatherapy involving essential oils significantly improved symptoms of alopecia areata compared to carrier oils alone in a randomized controlled trial.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have a higher prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and increased androgen bioavailability may be involved alongside metabolic factors.

This study found that prenatal exposure to finasteride in rats led to permanent changes in developmental endpoints like anogenital distance and nipple retention, which were predictive of further reproductive tract malformations.

This study found that flutamide at 250 mg daily modestly improved hair thinning in premenopausal women with hyperandrogenic alopecia over one year, while cyproterone acetate and finasteride were not effective.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor in lampreys, which lack bones and hair, binds 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and may function to induce enzymes for detoxifying substances.

This preliminary study suggests that finasteride might cause depressive symptoms, indicating the need for cautious prescription in patients at high risk for depression.

This study found that a genetic variant in the EDAR gene leads to typical East Asian hair characteristics by increasing signaling output, as shown in transgenic mice experiments.

This study found that patients with acne vulgaris had higher serum IGF-1 levels and more intense FoxO1 and mTOR expression than controls, suggesting their role in acne pathogenesis.

This review covers the epidemiology, clinical features, and treatment of four common skin infections in children, reporting no new experimental findings.

This review discusses recent advancements in hair rejuvenation strategies and assesses the potential of herbal drugs as safer alternatives, but reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that reactive oxygen species regulate the stress-induced SP-Mast cell pathway, which might support using antioxidants to treat stress-related hair loss.

This review discusses the emerging "endocrine phenotype" of COVID-19, highlighting the implications for managing diabetes, obesity, vitamin D deficiency, and other endocrine conditions in affected patients.

In this study, researchers observed that hyperandrogenic PCOS patients exhibited distinct miRNA and TGFβ signaling gene expression patterns in granulosa cells, suggesting these factors may play a role in PCOS pathogenesis.

In this study, expressing human K16 in the epidermis of K14 null mice prevented early skin blistering but led to age-related anomalies, indicating K16 and K14 have distinct roles despite their sequence similarity.

In this study, researchers created a novel fibrous membrane inspired by ancient Chinese medicine that effectively promotes hair follicle regeneration and wound healing in deep burn injuries by releasing quercetin, copper, and silicon ions.

This study found that using 3D Gel-C6S-HA scaffolds seeded with VEGF165-modified rat hair follicle stem cells enhanced angiogenesis and vascularization in tissue-engineered skin, improving wound healing.

This study concluded that although RBP4 and adiponectin levels are associated with visceral fat, they do not independently contribute to the development of PCOS.

This study found that dimethylpabamidopropyl laurdimonium tosylate, a quaternary ammonium surfactant, adsorbs onto human scalp hair with kinetic and isotherm behaviors fitting specific models, changing hair fiber wettability from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.

This review discusses the unique characteristics and disorders of Asian hair, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive studies in this area.
