This study reports that VP-16-213 (etoposide) shows significant therapeutic activity in several cancers including small cell bronchogenic carcinoma and certain leukemias, with hematologic toxicity being the primary side effect.

This study found that a synthetic avicequinone C analogue, 5e, was significantly more potent in inhibiting steroid 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human keratinocytes compared to the original isolated compound.

In this study, topical CUR61414 was effective in inhibiting basal cell carcinomas in mice, but no clinical activity was observed in human trials.

This study reported that in a mouse tail wound model, the synthetic dual inhibitor corin accelerated wound closure by enhancing re-epithelialization, and further in vitro experiments demonstrated increased expression of genes promoting keratinocyte migration, suggesting its potential as a treatment for chronic wounds.

This study showed that the stress hormone CRF inhibits hair growth and induces hair loss by affecting both the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells and hair follicle function.

This study observed that combined treatment with thyroxine and hydrocortisone increased lipid accretion and fat cell development in hypophysectomized fetal pigs, suggesting a key role of these hormones in fetal adipogenesis.

This study found that some synthesized 17-oximino-5-androsten-3β-yl esters demonstrated stronger cytotoxicity and antiandrogenic activity against prostate cancer cells than finasteride.

In this study, baicalin, a component of Baikal skullcap, was found to inhibit necroptosis in a cellular model of toxic epidermal necrolysis, suggesting it may be effective against severe drug-induced skin eruptions.

This study found that progesterone implantation in castrated male rats mitigated stress-induced increases in corticosterone levels and protected against spatial memory impairment and increased exploratory behavior.

This case report suggests that genetic evaluation for glucocorticoid resistance, such as the NR3C1 gene variant, is crucial for proper diagnosis and management of patients showing atypical signs of hypercortisolism.

This randomized controlled study reported that combining Ecklonia cava with Diane-35 significantly improved weight, waist circumference, hormonal balance, and inflammation markers in women with polycystic ovary syndrome over three months compared to Diane-35 alone.

This case study reported a unique instance of a benign adrenal adenoma co-secreting cortisol and DHEA-S, which initially mimicked PCOS symptoms. Surgical removal resulted in significant clinical improvement, confirming the diagnosis of cyclic adrenal Cushing's syndrome.

This report describes an 11-year-old boy with Netherton syndrome who developed Cushing syndrome after using low-potency hydrocortisone ointment extensively, highlighting caution with long-term topical treatments in such conditions.

This study developed lipid-core nanocapsules for encapsulating menthol, improving its solubility and thermal stability, and demonstrated their safety and rapid skin absorption in ex vivo tests, highlighting potential applications for cosmeceuticals.

This study established a stable formulation for caffeine nanocrystals in specific solvent mixtures, which could be used to test their potential for enhanced hair follicle targeting and penetration.

This study developed a new competitive 5alpha-reductase inhibitor with an IC(50) of 0.84 microM using a novel chemical structure.

In this study, the researchers reported that Krox20 plays a crucial role in epidermal homeostasis and hair development, influencing stem cell maintenance and cell survival through the modulation of cellular pathways.

This study analyzed the structure and dynamics of ketoconazole, revealing how its molecular characteristics, such as spin-lattice relaxation time and chemical shift anisotropy, are influenced by π-π stacking interactions and different carbon site environments.

Oral dexamethasone may help regrow hair in adults with alopecia totalis and universalis.

PH-762 shows promise in treating skin cancer by effectively targeting and silencing PD-1 in tumors with minimal side effects.

This study found that the oral contraceptive containing drospirenone (EE/DRSP) was as effective as EE/CPA in reducing acne lesions, sebum production, and hair growth in women with acne.

This case report describes a 62-year-old female patient with onycholysis whose condition recurred despite taking Coix seed extract, although both initial and recurrent symptoms resolved with its use, suggesting limited efficacy and warranting further study.

This study found that mitotane causes specific changes in cortisol metabolism, including increased excretion of certain metabolites, which may influence cortisol bioavailability without hindering early detection of adrenocortical carcinoma recurrence.

This study developed a polyherbal chocolate formulation aimed at managing PCOS and hormonal balance, finding that formulation F2 showed excellent organoleptic properties and stability, with future in vivo studies being suggested.

This review discusses the potential therapeutic applications of wedelolactone, a compound in Eclipta prostrata, for various chronic human diseases and reports no new clinical results.

This Phase II study found that BAY 43-9006, given at 400 mg orally twice daily, led to stable disease in 30% and tumor reduction in 40% of renal cell carcinoma patients.

This review discusses current treatment methods for managing androgenetic alopecia in men and women, but reports no new clinical results, highlighting the lack of a standard treatment guide.

This study found that activating CXCR2 on ras-transformed keratinocytes promotes migration and tumor development in a mouse skin model.

In this study, a patient with cystic fibrosis developed iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to impaired clearance of budesonide from concurrent itraconazole use, highlighting the need for regular monitoring in such combination therapies.

This case report describes a rare instance of functioning adrenocortical oncocytoma in a 14-year-old girl with virilization and reviews related literature.
