This study found that treatment with vitamin D increased the expression of LL-37 through the vitamin D receptor in cultured sebocytes.

This study suggests that minoxidil is a potent stimulator of elastin expression in embryonic skin fibroblasts, primarily affecting elastin mRNA levels, without impacting cell proliferation during the stationary phase.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) suppresses prostaglandin E2 and TGF-β induced IGF-I gene promoter activity in osteoblasts, suggesting complex interactions among bone growth regulators and potential complications from anabolic steroid use.

This study found that the 5α-steroid metabolite profile in men with inherited 5α-reductase deficiency is similar to those taking the drug finasteride, suggesting the gene affects multiple steroid substrates.

In this study, researchers found that finasteride inhibits progesterone synthesis by blocking cholesterol side-chain cleavage in mouse-derived MA-10 Leydig cells, but this effect may not be evident in human or rat cells.

This study found that a mesenchymal stromal cell-derived regenerative extracellular matrix (rECM) significantly accelerated wound closure and improved healing in diabetic mice, also enhancing nerve and blood vessel formation compared to controls.

This study established a murine model for radiation-induced skin reactions, replicating clinical and histological features to aid future mechanistic and therapeutic research.

This research found that kaempferol, a flavonoid from hair growth-promoting plants, significantly enhanced human dermal papilla cell proliferation and inhibited specific signaling pathways, outperforming minoxidil, with topical application in mice promoting hair growth and thickness, indicating potential as a natural hair loss treatment.

This study provides a comprehensive platform to explore stem cell interactions regulating hair follicle growth, revealing key signaling pathways in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions using advanced RNA sequencing and transgenic reporters.

This paper reviews the use of interferons, particularly alfa interferon, in treating cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, noting its substantial efficacy both alone and in combination therapies with predictable, generally well-tolerated side effects.

In this retrospective study of eight Saudi children with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, researchers observed that adjunctive cinacalcet appeared safe and showed initial promise in improving serum PTH levels, though further investigation is needed to confirm its efficacy.

The conclusion suggests a new treatment for infantile hemangiomas and a potential target for hair loss treatment.

This study found that baicalin activates Wnt/ß-catenin signaling in human dermal papilla cells, increasing alkaline phosphatase expression, growth factor expression, and promoting hair growth in mice.

This study found that megestrol acetate increases the proliferation, migration, and adipogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells through glucocorticoid receptor phosphorylation.

Minoxidil boosts hair growth by undergoing a process in hair follicles and certain skin cells, and by increasing the production of compounds essential for hair growth and maintenance.

A woman successfully sued for not being told about a medication's side effects, emphasizing doctors' duty to inform patients.

This article reviews hirsutism, its causes, cultural perceptions, and symptoms, but provides no new clinical findings beyond existing descriptions and statistics on hair growth patterns in women.

In this retrospective study at Hiroshima University, methotrexate effectively controlled ocular inflammation in Japanese patients with non-infectious uveitis over 6 to 24 months, but a high incidence of adverse effects indicates careful monitoring and dose adjustments are important.

In this study, androgen did not affect keratinocyte growth in coculture with androgenetic alopecia-derived dermal papilla cells, but did significantly suppress keratinocyte growth when androgen receptor was overexpressed in the papilla cells.

Some drugs can cause hair loss or increase hair growth, but these effects are usually reversible when the drug is stopped.

This study found that the protein MIM is crucial for maintaining cilia and Sonic hedgehog signaling in mesenchymal cells by counteracting Src-mediated phosphorylation of Cortactin, impacting hair follicle formation.

This study found that downregulation of EGF and KGF signaling is necessary for hair follicle initiation in placodes, revealing a new role for KGF in hair follicle formation in mice.

This study found that combining herbal extracts with PRP increased human dermal papilla cell proliferation via ERK and Akt protein regulation, suggesting its potential for developing hair growth therapies.

Skin problems like acne, dry skin, and nail and hair changes are common in patients taking EGFR inhibitors.

In this study, 13-cis-5S*,8S*-epidioxy-5,8-dihydroretinoic acid was found to be significantly more cytotoxic to cancer cell lines than other retinoic acid analogs evaluated.

This article reviews the potential neuroprotective effects of 17α‐estradiol in neurodegenerative diseases and highlights its possibly lower toxicity compared to more feminizing hormones, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that Ganoderma lucidum extracts showed weak 5alpha-reductase inhibition but significantly inhibited prostate cell proliferation and testosterone-driven prostate growth in rats, suggesting potential as an ingredient for treating androgen-induced diseases.

This review discusses adverse effects associated with pegylated IFN therapy for chronic hepatitis C and highlights the potential of new antiviral drugs to reduce side effects and improve treatment adherence, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that bee venom promoted hair growth in mice and inhibited a key enzyme involved in testosterone conversion, suggesting its potential as a 5α-reductase inhibitor and hair growth promoter.

This study found that MBN, an herbal extract fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum, promoted hair growth and increased related gene expression in C57BL/6 mice.
