This study established that a human epidermal model can be utilized to assess 5alpha-reductase activity and evaluate enzyme modulators, such as finasteride, for dermatological applications.

This study found that age-related hair thinning in Caucasian women over 50 involves significant structural changes within the hair follicle, suggesting an "aged hair program" rather than just producing thinner hairs.

This study found that, despite the unchanged total level of 18-MEA, deletion of the Sox21 gene disrupts its attachment to the hair cuticle, increases cholesterol sulphate levels, and differentially affects ceramide composition.

This study found that the primary mechanism behind hair relaxation in Afro-hair is the alkali-induced denaturation of helical filaments, leading to spontaneous straightening.

This study found that white poplar wood sawdust effectively removed up to 92.12% of thallium ions from contaminated water in laboratory conditions, demonstrating its potential as a low-cost adsorbent for reducing toxic thallium levels.

This study developed and analyzed a mathematical model for alopecia areata involving interactions among immune cells and cytokines, establishing conditions under which hairless patches can become stable and pervasive, particularly with certain biological rate levels and chemotactic sensitivities.

In this study, the researchers found that while the chitosan-alginate gel base supported hair growth, the addition of 0.5% celery extract did not enhance growth, likely due to its low concentration.

This letter discusses the variability in platelet-rich plasma preparation for androgenetic alopecia treatment and highlights that different methods yield varied platelet concentrations but not significant differences in growth factor secretion per platelet.

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.

In this experimental study, researchers developed and optimized metformin-loaded mucoadhesive microspheres for sustained anti-hyperglycemic and anticancer activity, demonstrating high entrapment efficiency, enhanced α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition, improved cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells, and promising stability.

In this study, researchers formulated an herbal antidandruff shampoo using plant extracts like neem, fenugreek seed, aloe vera, and clove, demonstrating its antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur and potential as a natural alternative for addressing dandruff.

This study found that applying a dutasteride-loaded liposome formulation to damp rat skin nearly doubled the drug's follicular accumulation compared to dry skin, suggesting scalp hydration status may significantly impact the drug's topical delivery, especially in follicle-rich areas.

In this study, gold nanoparticle-conjugated curcumin and thymoquinone formulations were more effective against melanoma cells in 3D bioprinted scaffolds than free or co-administered phytochemicals, sustaining stress responses and overcoming tumor adaptation barriers.

Combining PRP with microneedling and minoxidil may help treat severe hair loss.

This case report describes a six-year-old child with congenital biotinidase deficiency whose symptoms, including breathlessness, alopecia, and hearing loss, were reversed with biotin supplementation.

This study found that PRP may increase hair density in breast cancer survivors with EIA or pCIA, but improvements did not differ statistically between treated and untreated sides.

This study developed a novel hydrogel dressing, QL@MAB, which facilitates accelerated healing of infected diabetic wounds in rats by offering prolonged drug release, water retention, and adaptive drug delivery in response to high glucose levels in the wound environment.

This study aimed to enhance the skin penetration of minoxidil by encapsulating it in glycerosomal vesicles, offering a potential improvement in transdermal drug delivery for treating androgenetic alopecia. Results of the investigation were not reported.

The new skin organoid system effectively mimics human skin for studying its functions, injuries, and diseases.

This study demonstrated that alkali-modified Kapok fiber significantly enhances the adsorption of collagen, suggesting its potential application in collagen-based dressings.

This study revisits and reproduces Felix Pinkus' concept of the vitreous membrane in hair follicles, suggesting these structures may play a role in differentiation or nutrition due to their location in metabolically dynamic regions.

MRI helps distinguish between pituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas, guides treatment for pediatric CNS tumors, and assesses rhinocerebral mucormycosis with a high mortality rate in transplanted patients.

This study found that adjusting the polymer gel composition can create a more consistent release profile of finasteride with reduced initial burst release, enhancing patient compliance through in situ polymer precipitation.

This study found that plasma protein binding significantly contributes to the shifts in glucocorticosteroid concentration ratios among blood, saliva, and hair, challenging prior assumptions about enzyme inactivation as the main factor.

This study suggests that the oil extracted from Citrullus colocynthis seeds may be suitable for edible use and exhibits antimicrobial properties against several bacterial and fungal strains.

This article discusses the authors’ response to comments on their study about intradermal botulinum toxin's effect on androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new findings.

This article reviews botulinum toxin use in men, focusing on anatomical and treatment differences, with no new clinical results.

This study found that finasteride at a low dose of 0.1 mg/kg significantly reduced prostate size in male dogs with benign prostatic hyperplasia without causing toxic side effects.

This study found that combining D-004 with finasteride results in more significant prevention of testosterone-induced prostate enlargement in rats compared to using either treatment alone.

This review discusses the use of caffeine in cosmetics for its fat-reducing, antioxidant, and hair growth properties, but reports no new research findings.
