This review highlights that while low-dose oral minoxidil appears well-tolerated in cancer patients post-chemotherapy, its use during active chemotherapy has shown potential benefits but remains under investigation, with preclinical studies suggesting a protective effect against chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This study supports the conclusion that the hormetic dose-response model is the most prevalent and fundamental model in biological and biomedical sciences, applicable to a wide range of clinical conditions.

This study identified three Ayurvedic compounds that may serve as potential treatments against the macrolide-resistant enzyme murE of *Tropheryma whipplei*, addressing challenges in treating Whipple disease.

This study suggests that specific structural features of minoxidil analogs, such as hydrophobic and hydrogen bond field contributions, are key to enhancing lysyl hydroxylase inhibitory activity, which could inform future hair growth treatments.

This study reported that prenatal exposure to dihydrotestosterone altered long-term androgen metabolism in juvenile male rats, suggesting different regulatory mechanisms for 5a-reductase in hypothalamic versus pituitary tissues.

This study concluded that 16β-methyl-17α-benzoyloxypregnen-4-en-3,20-dione may be a promising treatment for androgen-dependent diseases and epilepsy due to its antioxidant effects and impact on GABAergic and serotonergic metabolism in rats.

This study found that some synthesized heterocyclic derivatives showed promising 5α-reductase inhibitor, antiviral, and anti-tumor activities, surpassing several reference drugs in effectiveness.

This study developed and validated a second derivative spectrophotometric method for accurately estimating tamsulosin and finasteride in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations.

In this study, researchers found that the thyroxine receptor agonist TDM10842 accelerated the onset of anagen, a hair growth phase, in C3H mice, potentially through activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin and Hedgehog pathways, with Pclaf playing a key role in this process.

This study found that golden silk mature silkworm powder improved cognition and neuron proliferation in mice, potentially by enhancing mitochondrial function and countering scopolamine-induced amnesia.

This study found that a topical plant worm extract significantly accelerated hair regrowth in mice without apparent toxicity or side effects.

This review discusses the safety of dermatological medications used during pregnancy, highlighting that retinoids have strong teratogenic risks and should be used with caution; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the 100% herbal complex extract, including Houttuynia cordata, significantly stimulated hair growth and increased hair density and weight in C57BL/6 mice, comparable to minoxidil treatment.

This study found that minoxidil nanoparticles increased drug delivery to hair follicles and improved hair growth more effectively in mice than conventional minoxidil formulations.

This study concluded that the anesthesia protocol using fentanyl, propofol, cisatracuria besylate, tranexamic acid, atropine, and metoclopramide resulted in the least pain during septoplasty.

This study found that higher dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels in the parietal region of the scalp may be linked to androgenetic alopecia's clinical presentation.

This review discusses the off-label use of drugs like Minoxidil, Aripripazole, and others, providing insights for physicians and pharmacists but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that bupropion was associated with a higher risk of hair loss compared to other antidepressants, with paroxetine presenting the lowest risk.

In this study, researchers found that both thermolabile and thermostable forms of phenol sulfotransferase contribute to the sulfation of minoxidil, emphasizing the need to consider both enzymes in assessing sulfation in human tissues.

This study in rats found that a new hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin formulation of minoxidil reduced the adverse cardiovascular and proliferative effects seen with traditional minoxidil solutions.

PEVs effectively deliver minoxidil through skin.

In this study, researchers found that in hairy guinea pig skin, minoxidil delivered via 40-nm nanoparticles had higher skin penetration than 130-nm nanoparticles, indicating nanoparticle size affects permeation.

In this study, researchers assessed the effects of deferasirox in 85 children with ß-thalassemia in Kirkuk and reported that while 55.3% experienced a reduction in serum ferritin, 9.4% had adverse effects, indicating that deferasirox is generally well-tolerated as an iron chelator with modifiable side effects.

This report describes a case of prolonged distributive shock attributed to minoxidil overdose, which involved intentional ingestion alongside trauma and NSAIDs, successfully managed with medications and hydration despite persistent low blood pressure.

This review summarizes 25 small molecule drugs with in vitro and in vivo data for COVID-19 treatment, highlighting their structural diversity and potential to guide future antiviral discovery.

This study reports the purification of a specific sulphotransferase from rat liver that catalyzes the sulphation of minoxidil, potentially implicating it in minoxidil's bioactivation.

This study, involving patients with early rheumatoid arthritis, found that treatment regimens combining methotrexate and glucocorticoids, with or without initial high-dose methylprednisolone, showed higher remission rates over one year compared to methotrexate or leflunomide alone, and all regimens were generally well-tolerated.

This review discusses the potential of low-dose oral minoxidil as a safe and effective treatment for certain hair disorders, including alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that puerarin, derived from Pueraria thunbergiana, may stimulate melanogenesis and prevent follicular depigmentation in a hair graying mouse model.
