The authors describe drug repurposing as a promising strategy for finding new uses for existing drugs, noting it is efficient, cost-effective, and poses lower risks than traditional drug discovery processes, potentially aiding in the treatment of rare and difficult-to-treat diseases.

This source reports that scalp cooling is currently the only safe and FDA-cleared method to potentially reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss, with about a 50% chance of maintaining sufficient hair to avoid needing a wig.

This review summarizes various effects of bergamot components on multiple health conditions in humans and animals but reports limitations in their use for stress and anxiety relief in aromatherapy.

In this study, epidermal Notch activation increased jagged 1 expression, leading to skin changes like thickening and blistering, with these effects inhibited when jagged 1 was absent.

This review discusses the potential benefits of activating NRF2 for treating hair follicle disorders linked to oxidative stress and reports no new clinical results.

This review assessed evidence on laser therapies for alopecia areata, reporting that the 308-nm excimer laser showed hair regrowth in several studies, while more research is needed for other laser types.

In this study, researchers found that a polyphenolic extract from Annurca apples, high in procyanidin B2, increased hair growth, density, and keratin content in healthy subjects after 2 months of use, and stimulated keratin biosynthesis in vitro.

This study found that Scutellaria baicalensis extract and its main component baicalin inhibited androgen activation signaling and promoted proliferation of human dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential use in treating androgen-associated disorders.

This study reports that compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the HEPHL1 gene in a child were associated with abnormal hair and cognitive issues, linking altered ferroxidase activity to hair disorders.

This animal study found that dermal papilla cells in hair follicles of chimeric mice can originate from various fibroblasts in the skin, challenging assumptions about their specific lineage.

This study reported that heterozygosity for FHIT affects mice's susceptibility to spontaneous alopecia areata and to certain preneoplastic lesions induced by benzo[a]pyrene, but does not change how they respond to budesonide and N-acetyl-L-cysteine.

This review discusses the use of supercritical carbon dioxide for extracting rice bran oil, noting its advantages over conventional methods for preserving nutrients and antioxidants, but provides no new experimental results.

This article reviews the interaction between sex hormone pathways and morphogenesis-related signaling in epithelial organ development, using a chicken model to propose testable hypotheses, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that finasteride may affect hair follicle growth by altering the expression of caspases and XIAP, potentially regulating the anagen phase of hair growth.

This study found that ginsenoside F2 may suppress hair cell apoptosis and improve hair growth outcomes in a DHT-induced hair loss model more effectively than finasteride.

This article reviews the negative effects of androgenic disorders and highlights that newer oral contraceptives with less androgenic progestins may reduce these effects and improve compliance, but it reports no new results.

This review discusses the role of the androgen receptor in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, and notes a lack of new research results on its therapeutic potential.

This study reports that finasteride treatment in men with androgenetic alopecia appears to restore caspase and XIAP expression in hair follicles to levels similar to those in individuals without the condition.

This article discusses perioral dermatitis and reports no new results; the authors present two cases implicating fluoride toothpaste as a potential cause.

This article reviews drug-induced pigmentation and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting difficulty in confirming drug associations due to factors like delayed onset and polypharmacy.

This study found that partial follicular units extracted from the donor area can survive and regenerate new hairs at their original site and when transplanted, effectively creating two hair follicles from one.

This study found that micro-current electrical stimulation may promote hair growth in human hair follicle-derived papilla cells and a mice model by enhancing cell proliferation, migration, and activating key growth pathways.

This study found that diffuse alopecia in HIV-1-infected patients is characterized by higher rates of follicular stem cell apoptosis compared to controls, suggesting a hair cycle disturbance associated with the infection.

This study found that mackerel-derived fermented fish oil extract and its component DHA promote hair growth by activating anagen pathways in dermal papilla cells.

This study found that, in Japanese patients with androgenic alopecia, sebaceous glands exhibit increased multilobulation which may be significant in the condition's pathology.

This study identified 30 new compounds with significant androgen receptor binding affinity through a combination of virtual screening and in vitro testing.

This article highlights that rivaroxaban, commonly associated with bleeding risks, may also cause rare non-bleeding adverse effects like liver injury and hypersensitivity.

This study found that in rodent models, the ability of D1 dopamine receptor activation to impair sensory gating is facilitated by 5α-reductase type 1, which produces allopregnanolone.

This review discusses the prenatal care guidelines for women with systemic lupus erythematosus and emphasizes the need for disease activity control to reduce maternal and fetal complications; it reports no new results.

This study found that doxorubicin induces hair follicle apoptosis through TRAIL receptor signaling, providing insights for managing chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
