In a study on wound healing, researchers described injectable POEGMA‐DA hydrogels as a promising non-toxic alternative to traditional wound closure methods, showing effective tissue adhesion and enhanced regeneration of skin structures in a mouse model without significant inflammation.

In this review, researchers analyzed literature on trichotillomania and found advances in understanding its neurobiology—highlighting dysregulated reward circuits and genetics—and treatments, with behavioral therapy and innovative pharmacological approaches improving outcomes where traditional SSRIs do not.

This review highlights advances in understanding trichotillomania's neurobiology and treatment, noting behavior therapy's effectiveness and new pharmacological and digital therapies, while addressing underdiagnosis, stigma, and research gaps.

In this literature review, researchers highlighted that trichotillomania involves dysregulated reward circuits, abnormal sensory processing, and potential genetic factors, advancing both therapeutic strategies and understanding of the condition, but stigma and provider training gaps persist in effective care provision.

In this study, female patients with Female Pattern Hair Loss were found to have significantly lower serum levels of vitamin D and ferritin, as well as lower total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, compared to healthy controls, suggesting these factors may contribute to the condition's pathogenesis.

This study developed a hydrogel dressing incorporating angelica polysaccharides, demonstrating enhanced wound healing properties in a mouse model by promoting rapid hemostasis, tissue healing, and new blood vessel formation compared to Tegaderm™ film.

This study developed a novel hair-straightening shampoo incorporating a polyphenol–inorganic sulfate redox agent, finding that it effectively straightens hair while enhancing strength and reducing damage due to its protective polyphenol coating.

This study developed a bilayer bionic skin scaffold that mimics the skin's structure to resist microbial invasion and enhance wound healing, with in vivo animal studies showing improved collagen deposition, neovascularization, and hair follicle formation.

This study developed a quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem that reshapes the perifollicular microenvironment, showing potential for rescuing hair follicle viability and regenerating hair follicles in androgenic alopecia by scavenging reactive oxygen species and promoting angiogenesis.

This study found that administering an alcoholic extract of Mentha spicata leaves significantly reduced testosterone levels and aggressive behavior in female rats with elevated testosterone, suggesting its potential protective role against such symptoms.

This review discusses anticoagulant and antihypertensive medications as potential contributors to medication-induced telogen effluvium and reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights scientific information about the medicinal uses and phytochemistry of Musa paradisiaca plant parts, which are traditionally used in human medicine to treat conditions such as diabetes, diarrhoea, hypertension, and ulcers, and exhibit various pharmacological activities including antidiabetic, antioxidant, and wound healing effects.

This study found that medium/large extracellular vesicles derived from hair follicle and adipose tissue mesenchymal stromal cells both demonstrated significant neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in cell cultures, highlighting their potential use as biopharmaceuticals for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

This study found that Polygonum multiflorum radix ethanol extract may promote melanin synthesis, potentially helping to turn gray hair back to black by enhancing antioxidant activity and increasing tyrosinase expression.

This study found that neonatal administration of Allopregnanolone may mitigate some behavioral effects of early maternal separation in adolescence, but also lead to similar adverse effects as the separation in adulthood.

This study found that dutasteride may offer neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic neurons in an animal model of early-stage Parkinson's disease, suggesting potential therapeutic use.

This study observed no teratogenic effects of oral decongestants and surprisingly favorable neonatal outcomes in Swedish women who used them during pregnancy.

This article reviews clinical and treatment aspects of hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the roles of diagnostic practices, combined oral contraceptives, and cyproterone acetate, but introduces no new findings.

This study suggests that the neurosteroid allopregnanolone may play a crucial role in how ethanol affects neurons related to alcohol addiction vulnerability.

This study found that in male rats, chronic finasteride treatment reduced allopregnanolone levels, which, upon drug withdrawal, correlated with increased pro-inflammatory cytokines and altered neurotransmitter levels.

Finasteride may cause sexual dysfunction by reducing epinephrine levels.

In this study, researchers developed an injectable silk fibroin-based hydrogel that enhances wound healing by protecting against oxidative stress and promoting tissue repair, outperforming commercial wound dressing Tegaderm™ in animal models.

This study found that an injectable hydrogel, SF-g-SDA, outperformed commercial Tegaderm™ in healing wounds, promoting collagen deposition, and enhancing neovascularization in animal models.

This study suggests that inhibitors of steroidogenic enzymes may have therapeutic potential for certain behavioral disorders linked to dopaminergic hyperfunction, despite concerns about their endocrine impacts.

This study found that finasteride significantly reduced levodopa-induced dyskinesia in both male and female rats without diminishing l-DOPA's motor benefits, indicating potential for clinical trials in Parkinson's patients.

This study found that celery supplementation improved cognition and behavioral disorders in LPS-exposed mouse offspring by increasing levels of dopamine, acetylcholinesterase, and serotonin in the forebrain.

In this study, several compounds, including estrogen and Dutasteride, showed neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic neurons in an MPTP mouse model of Parkinson's disease.

This study identifies substance P, TNFα, and IFNγ as novel regulators of prolactin and its receptor expression in human skin, suggesting intracutaneous prolactin is not controlled by dopamine.

This review discusses the role of neuro(active)steroids, particularly those in the 5α reductase pathway, in modulating dopamine signaling and their impact on neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by dopamine imbalances, including addiction, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's Disease.

This study found that systemic administration of NDP-MSH, a melanocortin receptor agonist, provided neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, reducing neuroinflammation and suggesting a role for regulatory T cells in these neuroprotective effects.
