This review examines the mechanisms of lung fluid imbalance in COVID-19-related pulmonary edema and suggests potential drug targets to improve management and reduce mortality.

This study found that men receiving enzalutamide and other androgen-deprivation therapies may be at increased risk for QT prolongation and torsades de pointes.

This study suggests that finasteride may reduce the aggressiveness and invasion of prostate tumors, with effects potentially differing based on the androgen responsiveness of the patient's prostate cells.

This study found that light stimulation of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells in the eyes can activate hair follicle stem cells through a neural circuit involving the sympathetic nervous system.

This review compiles current information about Eclipta prostrata, traditional uses, and its promising pharmacological properties, like hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects, but emphasizes that more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and ensure safety for clinical application.

This study demonstrated that OSA hydrogels enhanced the stability and retention of dermal papilla-derived extracellular vesicles, which significantly improved hair regeneration in both cultured human hair and a mouse depilation model.

This study found that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activates melanocyte stem cells, promoting hair follicle regeneration both in vitro and in vivo.

In this study, spiny mice showed superior cardiac recovery after myocardial infarction compared to other mouse strains, with enhanced myocardial preservation and functional stabilization.

This study found that combining platelet-rich plasma with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells significantly improved diabetic wound healing in rats by enhancing angiogenesis and modulating the Notch signaling pathway.

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 review explores how colloidal drug delivery systems can enhance the stability, absorption, and bioavailability of phytochemicals, potentially rediscovering ancient compounds' therapeutic benefits and overcoming limitations like poor solubility and bioavailability.

This study found that the dermal papilla of the hair follicle regulates stem cell quiescence and regeneration by modulating Shh and Wnt signaling pathways, highlighting the importance of signaling cross talk in regeneration.

This study found that BAF200, a subunit of the PBAF chromatin remodeling complex, is crucial for heart development and coronary artery formation in mice, as its absence led to embryonic lethality with severe cardiac defects.

This study observed that isoproterenol directs hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into cardiac muscle cells in large numbers, forming tissue sheets of beating heart muscle cells in culture.

This study found that metabolic syndrome or related metabolic issues are common among the family members of women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This review discusses skin diseases in transgender patients receiving gender-affirming hormone therapy and procedures, highlighting unique conditions and the underdiagnosis that affects their quality of life and mental health.

This study found that nano-sized lipid particles improved the skin accumulation and retention of dexamethasone compared to a base cream, suggesting potential benefits for inflammatory skin disease treatment.

In this laboratory study with rats, treatment with finasteride reduced dihydrotestosterone levels and fertility parameters, with a 30-day recovery period proving insufficient to fully restore sperm function and fertility.

This study found that teriflunomide, an oral medication taken once daily, significantly slowed disability progression in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis, supported by positive results in two Phase III trials and supplemented by various analyses including long-term studies and patient-reported outcomes.

This study concluded that the new subfractionation culturing method generates highly homogeneous adipose-derived stem cells with enhanced mitogenic, paracrine, and hair growth-promoting effects compared to traditional isolation methods.

This source outlines what it takes to be a competent provider for transgender individuals, focusing on their health needs, disparities, and coverage, and examines medical biases and hormone treatment guidelines, alongside treatment options for different age groups, concluding with evolving trends in medical education.

This case series describes six women with both PCOS and Graves' disease, suggesting a possible shared underlying cause for their co-occurrence.

This review discusses the pharmacological profile of teriflunomide for treating relapsing multiple sclerosis, highlighting its safety and effectiveness in reducing relapses and slowing disability progression, though direct comparisons with other oral medications are lacking.

This study found that there is a low prevalence and wide variability in U.S. insurance coverage for ancillary gender surgeries, with specific criteria often required for favorable coverage.

This study found that during the Covid-19 lockdown, the percentage of abstinent and low-risk alcohol drinkers increased while moderate and chronic drinking decreased compared to the previous four years.

This study found that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was effective in significant weight loss and improved lipid profiles in obese women during the first postoperative year, though some experienced alopecia, asthenia, dry skin, and cramps.

This review identifies significant variability in insurance coverage for gender-affirming surgeries in the US, affecting equitable access to care for transgender individuals and suggesting a need for health policy reforms.

This study found that temporary hair loss is common after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, and biotin supplementation showed low effectiveness in preventing this hair loss.

In this study using a mouse model, ECM/SVF-CM, derived from adipose-derived stem cells, was observed to stimulate hair growth more effectively than SVF-CM by promoting cell proliferation, neovascularization, and anagen induction, which may support its potential as an improved treatment for hair loss.

This review describes the dermatological uses of the contraceptive ethinylestradiol/chlormadinone acetate for conditions linked to high androgen levels and reports no new clinical results.
