,
September 2019 in “BioFactors” This study found that Ginkgolide B and bilobalide from Ginkgo biloba increased dermal papilla cell viability and promoted hair follicle growth in mink models by influencing signaling pathways.
This source explains that Equine Cushing’s disease, or PPID, in horses is due to the degeneration of brain cells producing dopamine, leading to elevated cortisol levels and characteristic symptoms; it outlines diagnosis methods and emphasizes life-long pergolide treatment to manage the condition.
2 citations
,
June 2019 in “International Journal of Dermatology” This study found that while a modified BASP classification for pattern hair loss could classify previously unrecognized types, it was less accurate and harder to use than the existing BASP classification.
2 citations
,
August 2025 in “Cureus” In this study conducted at Sir Ganga Ram Teaching Hospital in Pakistan, researchers found that preoperative use of finasteride significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss and shortened hospital stay for benign prostatic hyperplasia patients undergoing bipolar TURP, compared to those not receiving finasteride.
December 2021 in “Figshare” This study suggests that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, which is important for periodontal ligament homeostasis under occlusal hypofunction conditions.
February 2026 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” In this study, researchers identified 47 proteins associated with male pattern baldness severity and prioritized five candidate genes, including druggable CD38, suggesting new non-hormonal targets for therapeutic development.
