In this study, extracts from three Polynesian plants—Bidens pilosa, Calophyllum inophyllum, and Fagraea berteroana—were found to increase dermal papilla cell proliferation and modulate hair growth-related gene expression, suggesting potential for stimulating hair growth.

In this study, researchers found that crude extracts from Avicennia marina and its component avicequinone C inhibit mechanisms contributing to androgenic alopecia in vitro, including 5α-reductase activity and DHT-AR interactions, potentially promoting hair growth and delaying the catagen phase in human dermal papilla cells.

This study found that pregnane derivatives with higher lipophilicity, like compound 9d, had stronger androgen receptor binding and greater antiandrogenic effects in rats, correlating relative binding affinity with log P values.

This study isolated new geranylated coumarins from Mammea siamensis flowers and found that several of these compounds inhibit testosterone 5α-reductase.

This case report details a 38-year-old woman in Sri Lanka diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated protein-losing enteropathy, identified through hypoalbuminemia and EULAR criteria in a resource-limited setting.

This study evaluated compounds from Jatropha cordata bark, finding that a sterol mixture and n-heptyl ferulate demonstrated notable anti-inflammatory activity in murine macrophage cells without toxicity, suggesting potential for treating chronic inflammation.

In this animal study, soy isoflavones were found to protect lung tissue from the adverse effects of radiation, such as skin injury, inflammation, and fibrosis, suggesting a potential radioprotective benefit.

This study identified key proteins, such as Sfrp1 and Ppard, involved in the complex and dynamic regulation of yak hair follicle growth and degeneration across different stages, offering insights into yaks' adaptation to highland environments.

In this study, researchers observed significant differences in microbial composition between UV-induced fluorescent and non-fluorescent scalp areas in patients with androgenetic alopecia, noting a higher abundance of Cutibacterium in the fluorescent regions.

This study found that extracts from Indian gooseberry leaves showed strong antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, with low cytotoxicity, suggesting potential for developing new antimalarial drugs.
