A new, quick method accurately detects minoxidil in drugs and cosmetics.

This review explores the applications of phytonutrient-based biosensors in micro-electrochemical systems and reports no new experimental findings, emphasizing the potential and challenges of this innovative approach.

This study developed a high-throughput method that identifies bioactive chemicals influencing DHT production in prostate cancer cells, with potential nutraceutical candidates including fucoxanthin, phenethyl caffeate, and Curcuma longa L. extract.

This study describes a capillary GC method for accurately measuring spermidine levels in hair lotions, confirming its precision and specificity for this application.

This study found that a five-dimensional model of personality perception from men's facial photographs better captures the complexity of face perception than the traditional two-dimensional Valence-Dominance model, highlighting overlaps with personality structures known from differential psychology.

In this study, researchers found that male and female APCHi mice exposed to ionizing radiation showed near-normal lipid and metabolite levels, suggesting activated protein C may offer some protective effects against radiation-induced damage affecting organ systems.

In this study, the researchers found that over half of the tested calcium food supplements had calcium levels exceeding the amounts declared by their manufacturers, indicating a need for better quality control.

This study found that gene expression of CD70 and CD27 was higher in alopecia areata lesions and correlated with increased disease severity and activity.

In this study, researchers developed grooved microneedles made from hyaluronic acid for precise transdermal drug delivery, achieving accurate dosage with a high probability of delivery (98% or more) by using an easy-to-operate applicator for shearing force.

This study identified two key epigenetic-related genes, HR and SMYD4, which may act as potential biomarkers in keloid disease, suggesting new therapeutic avenues for further research.

This review summarizes how single-cell omics technologies have advanced understanding of cellular regulatory programs in sheep and goats, but highlights limitations in genomic annotation and integration with population genetics for molecular breeding.

This study proposed a new standardized in vitro framework using human hair tresses to evaluate cosmetic hair product performance and found significant improvements in hair breakage, tensile strength, shine, volume, and frizz control compared to a control group without such changes.

This study found a significant overlap between gene expression signatures of alopecia areata and certain chronic inflammatory skin disorders, suggesting shared biological processes may drive their co-occurrence and providing a foundation for future research into distinct comorbid subtypes.

This study developed a method using UHPLC-MS/MS and MSPE to detect trace amounts of sex hormones in cosmetics, finding progestins and estrogens in some products, and performed a preliminary safety evaluation for residual progesterone in hair loss prevention cosmetics.

Shrimp extracts may help heal burns and fight bacteria.

This study found that hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis in adolescents, with androgen levels correlating more strongly with body size and composition in boys than girls.

This study evaluated a hair mask containing rice germ oil GX-N and ferulic acid on damaged hair and found that rice germ oil GX-N improved hair characteristics after bleaching, UV, and heat exposure, but adding ferulic acid did not provide extra benefits.

This study used metabolomics to identify distinctive metabolic and phenolic profiles in American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) from various regions, revealing specific biomarkers that can help differentiate between ginseng from Northeast China, Shandong, and the United States.

This study of patients with moderate to severe alopecia areata in Morocco found that oral betamethasone mini-pulses yielded ≥50% hair regrowth in 62.5% of cases, improved quality of life scores, and were generally well-tolerated, though relapses and mild side effects were noted.

The wolves suspected of man-eating in the 1880s likely ate very little human flesh and mostly consumed a diet similar to herbivores and omnivores.

This study found that combining microneedling with a topical glycosaminoglycan lotion improved hair density and follicular thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia, with no adverse effects except mild pain, suggesting potential synergistic benefits as a treatment.

This study found that the RapidHIT™ ID system can successfully obtain DNA profiles from single hair roots, particularly those with high nuclei counts.

This study found that trichoscopy can confirm the diagnosis and assess the clinical severity of female androgenetic alopecia, correlating specific features with different severity grades.

The researchers found that using hair analysis to detect past use of cannabinoids or amphetamines in individuals with psychosis was limited by individual variations in hair growth rates, affecting the method's reliability.

This review highlights the use of droplet microfluidics in microgel fabrication, emphasizing its ability to control microgel properties and discussing applications in areas like drug delivery and tissue engineering, as well as addressing current challenges and future research directions.

This paper introduces a framework attributing Post-SSRI, Post-Finasteride, Post-Retinoid, and an unnamed sexual dysfunction syndrome to downregulated estrogen receptor activity, potentially guiding future treatments in sexual medicine.

This study suggests that dermoscopy can help identify and distinguish various rosacea subtypes, improving clinical diagnosis and treatment decisions.

This study found that ALKBH5 plays a critical role in wound re-epithelialization by enhancing the stability of PELI2 mRNA, and its absence delays wound healing. Supplementation with PELI2 can partially rescue this delay, pointing to potential new therapies for stubborn wounds.

This study observed that high levels of immunoreactive cortisol in the tail hair of captive Asian elephants were often associated with stressful or distinct behavioral events, suggesting its potential for reconstructing their physiological history.

This study found that exclamation mark hairs are the only trichoscopic feature that can differentiate clinically suspicious SA from AA.
