This review discusses the cosmetic potential of Southeast Asian herbs and highlights the need for more systematic scientific evaluation of their efficacy and safety.

This study constructed a panel of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic genes, revealing that current SNP chips insufficiently capture many drug-response gene variants, highlighting the need for complementary genetic approaches.

This study demonstrated that high doses of L-cystine and vitamin B6 effectively prevent doxorubicin-induced hair loss in mice.

This study developed a caffeine-loaded solid lipid nanoparticle gel, observing significant reduction in subcutaneous fat tissue thickness in histological tests compared to an untreated group, suggesting it could effectively treat cellulite as a promising nanocosmeceutical gel.

This review summarizes the antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties of Indian Gooseberry, its phytochemical composition, and its use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that multifunctional electrospun scaffolds containing silver vanadate, hydroxyapatite, and graphene oxide significantly improved wound healing in a rat model, promoting rapid re-epithelialization, enhanced mechanical properties, and strong antibacterial activity, making them promising candidates for advanced wound care applications.

In this study, PEVIII, a nanocomposite chitosan-coated vesicle containing both α-hederin and hederacoside C, demonstrated notable antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a keratitis model, showing significant lesion reduction, tissue improvement, and decreased bacterial load and inflammatory markers compared to other treatments.

This chapter provides an overview of the complex chemical and physical structure of the hair surface, detailing how factors like ethnicity, environmental stress, and cosmetic treatments can alter its properties and influence the adhesion of hair care products.

This review discusses current treatment strategies for alopecia and highlights the potential of lipid-based nanoparticles to improve drug delivery to the scalp and hair follicles, noting their ability to enhance skin penetration and drug stability while outlining associated challenges and the need for further research.

This source outlines various antiandrogen and androgen inhibitor drugs used to treat cutaneous disorders of hyperandrogenism, detailing their mechanisms, uses, dosages, and side effects, with emphasis on spironolactone, finasteride, dutasteride, and oral contraceptives.

The document explains how certain drugs block hormones to treat cancers like breast and prostate cancer.

Hyperpigmentation is common in pregnancy and may not fully fade after birth; melasma, also frequent, can persist but has limited treatment options during pregnancy.

This study found that finasteride and melengestrol acetate exhibit varying levels of toxicity to freshwater mussels, amphipods, and mayflies, but current environmental concentrations suggest minimal direct effects on these aquatic invertebrates.

This paper discusses the role of steroid sulfatase in hormone-dependent tumors and highlights the development of potent inhibitors, noting the commencement of a phase I trial for one inhibitor in postmenopausal breast cancer patients.

This review concluded that oral finasteride for men and topical minoxidil for both genders have the most evidence supporting their effectiveness and safety for treating androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, women with idiopathic hirsutism who took finasteride for 9 months experienced a significant reduction in hirsutism scores compared to those receiving a placebo, with minimal side effects.

This study reports that C3H/HeJ mice and DEBR rats serve as effective models for screening potential treatments for human alopecia areata, despite certain challenges in predictability and cost.
