This case report from the University of Alabama describes a rare paradoxical effect where divalproex sodium was associated with increased agitation and hostility in a patient with schizoaffective disorder.

In this study, Diane was reported to effectively treat acne, seborrhoea, androgenic alopecia, and mild hirsutism in hirsute women, with its effectiveness influenced by the severity and duration of the condition.

In this study, researchers established that increased expression of the human GLI-1 gene in mouse skin leads to the development of tumors that closely resemble human basal cell carcinomas, without requiring additional mutations in the p53 or Ha ras genes.

This study found that GTx-024 significantly increased total lean body mass and improved physical function in healthy elderly men and postmenopausal women, suggesting potential use for muscle wasting conditions.

This study suggests that the residues Val-889 and Arg-752 in the androgen receptor steroid binding domain are crucial for the intermolecular interaction necessary for receptor dimerization and function.

This study found that recombinant keratinocyte growth factor (rKGF) stimulated hair growth and provided a protective effect against alopecia in murine models, suggesting its role in hair follicle development and regeneration.

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.

This article discusses the cutaneous side effects of various chemotherapeutic agents but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the importance of dermatologists recognizing drug-induced skin reactions to better patient care.

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

This study identified Azithromycin and Roxithromycin as novel senolytic antibiotics that effectively target and reduce senescent human fibroblast cells.

This study found that VEGF stimulates the proliferation of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells via the VEGFR-2/ERK pathway, without involving p38, JNK, or AKT signaling.

This study found that applying supraphysiologic doses of topical T3 significantly accelerated wound healing in mice compared to a control vehicle, suggesting its potential as a cost-effective wound treatment.

This review discusses the possible impacts of prolactin on skin conditions like psoriasis, alopecia, and stress-related dermatoses, emphasizing the need for further research to explore its therapeutic potential.

In randomized controlled trials, this research reports that cyclosporin is as effective as glucocorticoids for treating canine atopic dermatitis and has potential benefits for other immune-mediated skin conditions in dogs.

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 human skin expresses proenkephalin, whose expression is upregulated by environmental stress and varies in pathological conditions, increasing in psoriasis and decreasing in melanocytic tumors.

This study found that hair depigmentation in mice and humans can be a dynamic indicator of KIT inhibition by the drug SU11248, correlating with treatment periods.

The researchers reported that the petroleum ether extract of Cuscuta reflexa may promote hair growth in testosterone-induced alopecia in mice by inhibiting the enzyme 5α-reductase.

In this study, manipulation of the enzyme 5α-reductase type 2 in human hepatocytes altered lipogenesis, suggesting clinical implications for patients using 5α-reductase inhibitors by affecting glucocorticoid action on hepatic lipid metabolism.

Finasteride may help improve certain brain function issues linked to dopamine.

This study suggests that red ginseng rhizome extracts, particularly ginsenoside Ro, may promote hair re-growth in an androgenetic alopecia model due to their inhibitory activity on testosterone 5α-reductase.

This study found that the anticonvulsant effects of progesterone against PTZ-induced seizures in mice require conversion to allopregnanolone, as shown by the reversal of these effects with a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor.

This study suggests that minoxidil may enhance hair growth by stimulating adipose-derived stem cell motility and growth factor secretion, promoting dermal papilla cell proliferation and accelerating anagen induction.

This review discusses the skin side effects associated with targeted cancer therapies and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the need for empirical management based on expert opinion.

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, the researchers found that thymosin beta-4 promotes odontoblastic differentiation in human dental pulp cells, suggesting it as a potential mechanism for regenerative endodontics.

This study introduces a mouse model of cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia, which effectively replicates human chemotherapy-induced hair loss and can be pharmacologically manipulated to study hair regrowth patterns.

This review discusses the role of skeletal muscle in synthesizing bioactive androgens, highlighting that intramuscular androgens may influence muscle via intracrine action, but their precise function remains unclear.

This article discusses alopecia areata occurring during Interferon Alpha-2b/Ribavirin therapy and reports no new clinical results.
