August 2010 in “Springer eBooks” Hormonal contraceptives are effective for teens but require careful consideration of side effects and individual health.
April 2010 in “Cancer Research” This study found significant upregulation of IDO-1 and IDO-2 in human basal cell carcinomas, suggesting that IDO production may confer immune privilege characteristics to the tumors, potentially impacting their growth.
February 2010 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study found that nonobese women with idiopathic hirsutism had higher fibrinogen levels and lower nitrite/nitrate concentrations compared to controls, similar to those with PCOS.
July 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” This study introduced the BASP classification, a new system for categorizing pattern hair loss in both men and women, and applied it to analyze 2213 Korean subjects.
January 2007 in “Queen Mary Research Online (Queen Mary University of London)” This study identified interactions between EGF signaling and the GLI proteins in basal cell carcinoma that may contribute to the limited metastasis seen in this skin cancer.
This study found that keratin-gelatin composite films effectively promoted early wound healing and full-thickness skin graft acceptance in dogs, outperforming bFGF-gelatin films.
January 2007 in “Universiti Putra Malaysia Institutional Repository (Universiti Putra Malaysia)” This study concluded that keratin-gelatin composite films were more effective than bFGF-gelatin films in promoting early and uncomplicated wound healing in dogs, observing improved epithelialization and graft acceptance.
February 2004 in “Oncology Times” This presentation by Dr. Shutsung Liao suggests that a treatment approach involving cyclic use of androgens and anti-androgens, along with green tea extract, may help extend survival in advanced prostate cancer patients resistant to standard therapy.
February 2003 in “European Urology Supplements” Baseline PSA levels affect general health and sexual satisfaction in men with BPH treated with finasteride or placebo.
January 2001 in “Chinese Journal of Reparative and Reconstructive Surgery” This study found that endogenous EGF may play a role in epidermal development and wound healing, while the absence of bFGF in embryonic rats' skin could contribute to non-scar healing.
January 1998 in “Differentiation” Basonuclin is crucial for hair follicle development and cycling in mice.

January 1994 in “Medical Entomology and Zoology” This article reviews various microscopy techniques and their applications in dermatology but reports no new experimental results.
December 2022 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” In this study, PRPF treatment was more effective than PRP alone in improving hair count and hair quality in androgenetic alopecia patients, with PRPF showing significant improvements in various hair growth parameters and having no statistical differences observed in the placebo group.
March 2022 in “Japanese Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine” In this case study, a novel treatment combining basal stone therapy and placenta extract applied to the scalp improved hair loss in a 46-year-old man resistant to typical home-care treatments for androgenic alopecia.
January 2022 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study found that combining basic fibroblast growth factor with minoxidil improved hair treatment efficiency and patient satisfaction compared to minoxidil alone for early-stage androgenetic alopecia in men.
