This paper reviews the historical use and contemporary relevance of plant-derived cosmetics, focusing on Suriname's herbal cosmetics industry and the potential to establish a beauty products industry there, without presenting new findings.

This study found that a minoxidil foamable emu oil emulsion significantly promoted hair growth in animals compared to a marketed 5% minoxidil solution, showing increased hair follicles in the anagenic phase.

This review highlights that synthetic biodegradable polymers like PVA, PCL, PLA, PLGA, PU, and PEO/PEG can address the limitations of natural polymers in wound healing, offering improved mechanical properties and slower degradation, thereby enhancing their application as wound dressings.

This review reports that chitosan, a versatile polysaccharide, shows potential for various therapeutic applications due to its chemical modifications, notably in treating non-communicable diseases and wound healing, though further clinical study is needed to confirm these benefits.

This review discusses plant-derived phytochemicals, such as phytosterols, polyphenols, and fatty acids, as potential alternatives to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors for prostate cancer treatment, highlighting their promising anti-cancer properties and potentially fewer side effects compared to conventional drugs.

This review highlights the potential of plant-derived natural compounds as biocompatible and biodegradable materials in dermal and transdermal delivery systems, emphasizing their unexplored benefits and detailing recent advances in isolation techniques and drug delivery technologies.

This review discusses the potential of phytochemicals from plants as alternative treatments for prostate cancer, highlighting their possible benefits over current 5-alpha-Reductase inhibitors, but reports no new findings.

This review explores plant-derived phytochemicals, such as phytosterols, polyphenols, and fatty acids, for their potential use as alternative treatments for prostate cancer, emphasizing their effects on 5-alpha-Reductase enzyme isozymes. It reports no new clinical results.

The study found that males with androgenetic alopecia had a significantly lower left-hand 2D:4D digit ratio compared to healthy controls, suggesting this ratio may help estimate future AGA risk.

This study concluded that the digit-length ratio (2D:4D) does not predict androgenic alopecia development, suggesting prenatal androgen exposure does not predispose men to this condition.

This study found that among vitiligo patients in south-southern Nigeria, there were significant correlations between digit lengths and digit ratio, but further research is needed due to the small sample size.

This study found that in male patients, a lower right-handed 2D:4D digit ratio combined with older age correlated with increased severity risk of androgenetic alopecia.

This article discusses the connection between prenatal androgen exposure, marked by the second-to-fourth digit ratio, and seborrheic dermatitis, but reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, researchers found that the congenital absence of the palmaris longus muscle was relatively uncommon and showed no significant differences according to sex, side, or digit ratio (2D:4D) among individuals assessed using MRI and radiographs.

In this review, the authors evaluated the potential of using the second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) as a predictor for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting future research directions but not reporting definitive results.

This study found that while prolactin and DHEA-S levels were higher in women with hirsutism compared to controls, there was no significant correlation between second to fourth digit ratio and hormonal profiles.

This study reports that a lower 2D:4D finger length ratio is significantly associated with higher disease activity and reduced spinal mobility in females with ankylosing spondylitis, but not in males.

This case report highlights the successful use of platelet-rich plasma infiltration to treat vasopressin-induced bilateral foot digit gangrene in a 20-year-old female, suggesting its potential in stimulating angiogenesis and wound healing, though further research is necessary to assess its general efficacy.

In this study, a significant negative correlation was observed between the 2D:4D digit ratio and maxillary sinus volume in men, suggesting an androgenic hormone influence on sinus volume development.

This research suggests that the digit ratio, 2D:4D, is unlikely to be a significant indicator of male androgenetic alopecia, contradicting a prominent isolated finding from a previous study.

In this study, Flii overexpression in mice enhanced fingertip regeneration and nail formation after both distal and proximal amputations, suggesting a role in digit and hair follicle regeneration possibly involving Wnt signaling.

In this study, fingertip regeneration in mice was associated with specific signaling pathways involving hair follicles and hedgehog signaling, with potential implications for improving human hand injury treatments.

This study found that a serum-free DMEM-F12 medium with 45% oxygen best supports in vitro development and differentiation of human fetal skin, closely mimicking the in vivo state.

This study found that activating BMP signaling in rodent and primate models significantly promotes nail and digit regeneration after amputation by enhancing the role of specific nail stem cells, though extreme proximal amputation only permitted partial regeneration without bone reconstruction.

In this study, researchers found that human fingerprint ridges are formed through a modified hair follicle developmental process and spatial patterns influenced by specific signaling pathways.

This study found that women with lower 2D:4D ratios and fewer middle-phalangeal hairs reported more adverse side effects from oral contraceptives, suggesting these features may predict hormonal contraceptive side effects.

This article presents a case of Olmsted syndrome in a 5-year-old boy, adding to the limited number of reported cases of this rare keratinization disorder.

In this study, young Ukrainian men with alopecia areata were found to have a "subpathological" body type, characterized by shorter lower limbs and longer upper limbs and torso compared to healthy peers.

This study found that self-reported androgen-driven phenotypes, like balding and finger length ratios, were not associated with cancer aggressiveness or biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer after prostatectomy.
