This case study reports that combining skin debridement with topical and systemic antifungals improved treatment outcomes for kerion celsi in a 5-year-old boy, preventing scarring alopecia.

In this study, MMF plus prednisolone was found to induce remission in 81% of patients with proliferative lupus nephritis, with fewer adverse effects such as alopecia and amenorrhea compared to CYC plus prednisolone, despite similar overall remission rates.

This study demonstrates that pH-responsive nanogels designed with comb-like anionic polymers significantly improved oral delivery of the chemotherapy drug camptothecin, enhancing drug stability in acidic conditions and release in the intestines, with increased cellular uptake and cytotoxic effects against colorectal carcinoma cells.

This study reports a case where cyclosporine effectively treated a 51-year-old woman with idiopathic follicular mucinosis resistant to other therapies, suggesting its potential as an option for refractory cases.

This article reviews the discovery and various physiological effects of cyproterone acetate, reporting its established indications for several androgen-driven conditions but providing no new clinical data.

This study identified a specific SNP in the CACNB4 gene associated with a higher risk of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast cancer patients, which may help develop interventions to improve their quality of life.

This study reviewed the challenges of delivering nucleic acids for gene therapy, highlighting the limitations of non-viral vehicles and exploring bioinspired strategies using cell membrane camouflage for improved delivery efficacy.

In this study, the researchers synthesized copper-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles and observed that they enhance tumor microenvironment regulation and, when paired with disulfiram, effectively kill cancer cells while also showing synergistic anti-tumor effects with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Flubendazole in a nanoemulsion can potentially treat lung cancer and cryptococcal meningitis effectively and safely.

This case report describes a 6-month-old girl in China who experienced complete remission of tinea capitis after 8 weeks of treatment with oral fluconazole and ketoconazole cream.

This study found that a combination of spermidin, rutine, and zeaxantine effectively reduced staurosporin-induced apoptosis in cultured hair follicle dermal papilla cells, potentially preventing the regression phase in the hair follicle cycle.

This study found that nearly all nurses caring for chemotherapy patients showed detectable levels of cyclophosphamide in their urine, indicating significant occupational exposure to this antineoplastic drug.

This study found that hydroalcoholic extracts of Bacopa monnieri demonstrated significant antimitotic activity in an Allium cepa model, suggesting potential comparable effects to the standard drug methotrexate.

In this study, scalp hypothermia with the Theracool™ cooling machine was largely ineffective for preventing alopecia in breast cancer patients undergoing a chemotherapeutic regimen including cyclophosphamide and anthracyclines.

In this retrospective study, cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was found to be generally safe and led to mild feminizing effects, with more rapid feminization occurring when combined with estrogens.

In rats with cyclophosphamide-induced hair loss, this study found that applying cetirizine HCl-loaded emulgel with microneedling stimulated hair growth, suggesting a potentially safer alternative to minoxidil for treating chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This review details the preclinical and early clinical activity and side effects of docetaxel, showing its significant effectiveness against various cancers with neutropenia as a major side effect.

This study found that CNGC 6, CNGC 9, and CNGC 14 are crucial for maintaining calcium oscillations necessary for normal root hair growth in plants, with mutations leading to defects like swelling and bursting.

This study reviews the role of the zinc finger protein CXXC5 in cellular signaling and its implications for cancer, discussing how its dysregulation is linked to various physiological and pathological processes, as well as potential therapies targeting CXXC5.

This study found that oil extracts from the plants Hedyotis corymbosa, Inula racemose, and Holostemma adakodien demonstrated significant antibacterial and antifungal activity in vitro compared to standard antibiotics and antifungals.

This study found that pulmonary delivery of cepharanthine significantly improved bioavailability and may provide protective effects against pulmonary fibrosis related to COVID-19 infection in a rat model.

This article reviews interventions for preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia and highlights scalp cooling as the only currently effective method, while noting its limitations and other potential options without providing new results.

In this study, TS-13, an antioxidant, accelerated hair regrowth in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia but did not completely prevent cyclophosphamide's hair loss effects, showing potential for mitigating such side effects without interfering with the drug's therapeutic action.

This study found that topical application of cyclosporin A and FK506 induces new hair growth in mice, while ascomycin and rapamycin do not, suggesting hair induction is not due to immunosuppression.

This review discusses current strategies for head and neck cancer treatment, highlighting the effectiveness of cisplatin in combination therapies, and notes increased toxicity with multimodal treatments but no overall survival advantage for doublet regimens; it reports no new clinical results.

In this randomized controlled trial, researchers observed that topical clobetasol propionate 0.05% was significantly more effective than topical tacrolimus 0.1% for treating alopecia areata, with a higher treatment success rate of 74.2% versus 45.2%, suggesting clobetasol as a preferred first-line topical therapy.

This communication discusses previous reports of deadly hematopoietic depression associated with the topical use of demecolcine for skin cancers, highlighting potential hazards relative to colchicine ointment in psoriasis.

This study observed that Icariside II, an extract from Epimedium brevicornu Maxim, can inhibit the growth of gastric cancer in cell lines and mouse models by promoting apoptosis and suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, with minimal toxicity to normal gastric cells.

This study developed a sensitive HPLC-MS/MS method for determining cyproterone acetate levels in human plasma and found no significant difference in its concentration between two oral formulations in bioequivalence testing.
