March 2025 in “OncoTargets and Therapy” This study found that in circulating tumor cells from non-invasive liquid biopsies, the GG genotype of the CYP3A5 A6986G affects longer disease-free survival in DLBCL patients, highlighting the significance of circulating biomarkers for prognostic evaluation.
October 2021 in “Turkderm” This study found that women with post-adolescent acne experience marked menstrual irregularities, polycystic ovaries, androgenetic alopecia, hirsutism, and metabolic syndrome, but insulin resistance and dyslipidemia may not significantly contribute to their acne's pathogenesis.
January 2015 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” This study found that glucose starvation and hypoxia are physiological triggers of ER stress in in vitro differentiated adipocytes, rather than high concentrations of saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, or proinflammatory cytokines.
This study found that in Korean patients, cardiovascular disease-related risk was significantly associated with male sex, moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia, and particularly FV-type alopecia.

January 2024 in “American Journal of Translational Research” In this study on craniofacial trauma reconstruction, younger age, adequate protein intake, lower anxiety scores, better scar assessments, and reduced infection rates were associated with improved prognoses, highlighting the importance of these factors for optimizing outcomes.
April 2026 in “Frontiers in Veterinary Science” This study observed that in privately owned, intact cats, male cats exhibited significantly higher long-term hair cortisol concentrations compared to females, while environmental and behavioral factors did not significantly impact cortisol levels, suggesting individual traits may influence stress markers more than external factors.
July 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this study conducted on rabbits, conventional blood treated with 120% sodium citrate was observed to achieve the highest platelet recovery and enrichment coefficient, while altering sodium citrate concentrate affected levels of growth factors PDGF and TGF-β1 after plasma activation.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that 1550-nm Er:Glass fractional laser treatment significantly increased hair density and shaft diameter in patients with androgenetic alopecia, though the mechanism may not involve Wnt10A or IGF-1 expression.
