This review examines recent advancements in green and emerging microextraction techniques, such as SPME and DLLME, for more sustainable hormone detection in biological samples, emphasizing environmentally friendly solvents and bioanalytical applications.

This scoping review found that while some small human pilot trials of extracellular vesicles as therapeutics showed promising outcomes, variability in study design and lack of placebo controls limit definitive conclusions about their safety and efficacy.

In this study, a high daily dose of interferon alfa-2b administered initially six times a week for two weeks followed by thrice weekly for 12 weeks was most effective in sustaining normal ALT values in patients.

In this study, a single dose of PTH–CBD produced a sustained increase in bone mineral density for up to a year in mice, indicating its potential as an osteoporosis treatment.

This study developed and validated a highly sensitive method using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry for accurately analyzing nine neuroactive steroids in human serum, which could enhance understanding of disease pathophysiology and support new biomarker and therapeutic discovery.

Low-dose oral minoxidil can cause dizziness in women without lowering blood pressure, so careful monitoring is needed.

Taking dutasteride every other day works as well as daily and better preserves sexual function.

Finasteride and dutasteride's effects are mainly due to target binding saturation and slow enzyme turnover.

In this study, researchers developed a carboxylated β-cyclodextrin formulation to enhance finasteride's physicochemical properties, achieving an encapsulation efficiency of about 85% and indicating potential for controlled drug release in therapeutic applications. Their findings suggest this inclusion complex could improve delivery of hydrophobic drugs like finasteride.
