The study found that a single autologous micrografting treatment using Rigenera® technology significantly improved the appearance of stretch marks in healthy women after three months, showing greater enhancements in skin properties compared to microneedling alone.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is effective in increasing hair density and reducing hair loss for alopecia, with variations in response based on activation status.

This study identified significant changes in the expression of nine proteins in the nucleus accumbens of rats treated with finasteride, suggesting potential novel targets for its neuropsychiatric effects.

This study found that the wash test reliably measures hair shedding in children, with the number of shed hairs increasing with age and suggesting a potential early onset of androgenetic alopecia.

This study explored the role of magic in traditional and modern Romanian societies, revealing that both rural and urban communities turn to magical rituals and witchcraft to address various misfortunes and needs, with the COVID-19 pandemic enhancing this reliance despite technological advancements.

This study found that Sol/ASC-DP nanoparticles could enhance the skin permeability of minoxidil due to improved stability and hydrophobic interactions in the nanoparticle structure.
