This review examines around 68 plant sources from six major plant families, assessing their scientific rationale and use by the cosmeceutical industry for applications like anti-ageing and sun protection.

This study observed that autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cells and follicular stem cells were both safe and effective for improving resistant alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia, with no serious adverse events.

This study found that topical melatonin solution was associated with positive effects on hair density and reduction in hair loss for androgenetic alopecia, with good tolerability reported in several clinical trials.

This study found that in androgenetic alopecia, reduced stem cell factor production by dermal papilla cells may lead to decreased pigmentation in hair follicles.

This abstract reviews the use and effects of various antiandrogens, finding clinical benefits in treating hyperandrogenism in women and improvements in urinary symptoms or cancer management in men, but it reports no new clinical results.

Topical minoxidil is a safe and effective treatment for hair loss caused by androgenetic alopecia.

This study's meta-analysis reported that PRP injections significantly increased hair density compared to baseline and placebo in androgenetic alopecia patients, supporting its use as a beneficial treatment.

This review describes the molecular interactions between androgens and Wnt/ß-catenin signaling in androgenetic alopecia but reports no new experimental or clinical findings; the authors discuss potential Wnt/ß-catenin-targeted treatments for hair growth.

This opinion article explores the possibility of repurposing anticancer drugs, like methotrexate, as antimalarials, highlighting that toxicity might be manageable with appropriate dosing according to Paracelsus' law.

This study found that GLI2 plays a key role in activating follistatin, an activin/BMP antagonist, in response to hedgehog signaling in human epidermal cells, with implications for hair follicle development and basal cell carcinoma.

This study found that prostaglandin receptors are widely expressed in hair follicles, suggesting a complex network of prostanoid pathways involved in hair growth control.

This study suggests that fusaric acid at nontoxic concentrations may activate signal transduction in plants which could aid in the plant-defense responses against Fusarium spp.

This review discusses the clinical use of anti-androgen medications and highlights emerging evidence supporting plant-derived anti-androgens like spearmint tea for managing PCOS, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, and medicinal uses of Cuscuta reflexa but reports no new experimental results.

This article reviews recent findings on alopecia areata, highlighting genetic and immune factors in its pathogenesis but reporting no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for quality evidence on treatment efficacy.

This study developed electrospun nanofibers containing mupirocin for wound treatment, reporting enhanced antibacterial activity, high water absorption, and accelerated wound healing in a rat model, suggesting potential use for severe skin injuries at risk of infection.

This review discusses the cardiovascular risks associated with anabolic-androgenic steroid use and reports that, despite known toxic effects, further research is needed to clarify the causality of these risks.

This study identified the main secondary metabolites in Ziziphus jujuba seeds and confirmed that UPLC-MS/MS and GC-MS effectively demonstrate their pharmaceutical quality.

This study reported that women with PCOS had higher levels of certain hormones and lower SHBG levels compared to non-PCOS women with similar symptoms, highlighting a less favorable endocrine profile in PCOS cases.

This study reported that the aqueous ethanol extract of Lygodii Spora demonstrated in vitro testosterone 5alpha-reductase inhibition and in vivo anti-androgenic activity, potentially due to oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids.

This review discusses inflammatory and medication-related skin conditions associated with kidney disease and emphasizes the importance of timely referral to nephrology, reporting no new clinical results.

This article reviews plant-based secondary metabolites with potential anticancer properties and highlights the need for new treatments due to the side effects of current cancer therapies, but it provides no clinical results.

This study found that a ceria nanozyme-integrated microneedles patch accelerated hair regeneration in an androgenetic alopecia mouse model more effectively than minoxidil, with reduced application frequency and minimal skin damage.

This meta-analysis found that dutasteride was more effective than finasteride in increasing hair count and improving photographic assessments for men with androgenetic alopecia, while both drugs had similar rates of sexual dysfunction-related adverse effects.

This study describes the successful management of Andean bear alopecia syndrome in three female bears using oclacitinib, leading to rapid pruritus resolution and fur regrowth without adverse effects.

This study found that higher BMI was significantly associated with more severe hair loss in men with male-pattern and early-onset androgenetic alopecia.

This article reviews current guidelines for managing androgenetic alopecia and highlights the need for guidelines tailored to Japan; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that patients with severe vertex pattern androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher carotid intima-media thickness, suggesting an increased risk of subclinical atherosclerosis compared to other alopecia patterns and healthy controls.

This study evaluated the effect of 2% ketoconazole lotion for androgenetic alopecia, but the results regarding its effectiveness on clinical appearance remained unclear.
