In this study, researchers used gas chromatography–mass spectrometry to analyze agarwood from Laos and Thailand, identifying key volatile compounds also found in five other regions, and highlighted cytokine-regulated anti-inflammatory activity as a significant biological mechanism, suggesting potential for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.

The document concludes that there are still unknowns about the effectiveness, risks, and detection of performance-enhancing drugs, and doping remains a challenge.

This review discusses various drugs and their uses across multiple therapeutic categories but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that red ginseng oil and its major components improved hair regrowth in testosterone-treated mice by promoting an earlier anagen phase and altering related gene expressions.

This review discusses the choice and formulation of medicated and cosmetic shampoos for scalp disorders and hair aesthetics, providing guidelines based on hair types and patient age, and reports no new results.

In this study, quercitrin was reported to promote hair growth and cell viability in cultured human dermal papilla cells by enhancing cellular energy metabolism and growth factor production via MAPK/CREB signaling.

Finasteride helps reduce pain and inflammation in animals.

This letter to the editor discusses the controversy surrounding the use of anti-androgen therapy for COVID-19 without providing new clinical evidence, and calls for caution in making extraordinary claims.

This study found that phenylbutazone and fluocinolone acetonide have similar anti-redness effects in both haired and hairless animals, making hairless rats a potential alternative for testing without needing depilation.

This study found that 12.5% moringa seed oil demonstrated optimal anti-alopecia activity in rabbits, significantly improving hair weight compared to the treatment with 0.1% finasteride.

This study suggests that the role of vitamin 25(OH)D in the pathogenesis of PCOS and diminished ovarian reserve may be independent of serum vitamin 25(OH)D levels.

Most women preferred the 1% pyrithione zinc shampoo for better hair smoothness and less frizz while controlling dandruff.

This review discusses treatments for female acne, highlighting the effectiveness of low-dose oral contraceptives and noting their similar side effects to placebo; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the cutaneous side effects associated with vemurafenib and ipilimumab in metastatic melanoma treatment and emphasizes the importance of dermatologists in managing these skin eruptions; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, nearly 5% of anti-TNF-treated patients with IBD developed psoriasiform skin lesions, with smoking identified as a main risk factor, and ustekinumab proved highly effective in severe cases.

This study found that the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome was 16.6% with Rotterdam criteria but decreased to 6.3% or 8.5% when using alternative criteria involving antral follicle count or anti-Müllerian hormone.

In this study, oral administration of Lactococcus lactis strain H61 to senescence-accelerated mice was linked to reduced bone density loss, less skin ulcer incidence, and reduced hair loss, along with altered immune responses.

In this study, Ganoderma lucidum extract was found to significantly inhibit 5alpha-reductase activity and testosterone-induced prostate growth in rats, suggesting potential use for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

In castrated rats, this study found that triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum inhibited both types of 5α-reductase and reduced prostate growth linked to testosterone but not dihydrotestosterone.

This study found that the EtOAc extract of Tridax procumbens aerial parts significantly inhibited rat paw edema and COX enzyme activity, suggesting its potential anti-inflammatory properties.

This study found that the aqueous ethanol extract of Myricae Cortex demonstrated in vitro testosterone 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity and in vivo anti-androgenic effects in mouse and hamster models.

Anti-androgens, like finasteride, dutasteride, and spironolactone, may lessen the severity of COVID-19 in men, leading to fewer ICU admissions.

In this study, germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa showed anti-androgenic effects by inhibiting 5α-reductase, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for treating androgen-dependent disorders.

In this study, the researchers reported that chloramphenicol-loaded liposomes, particularly those incorporating deoxycholic acid, enhanced follicular uptake and showed strong antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, offering potential for treating MRSA-infected skin conditions with good skin biocompatibility and minimal toxicity.

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.
