This review discusses the role of skin enzymes in drug metabolism and emphasizes the need for models assessing enzyme activity to evaluate the safety and bioequivalence of topical generic drugs, highlighting efforts to standardize testing protocols for transdermal products.

This study found that prolonged inhibition of DGAT1 in mice and dogs led to atrophy of sebaceous glands, with mice also experiencing alopecia, suggesting potential skin-related risks for humans using DGAT1 inhibitors.

This review discusses how environmental factors like lifestyle, nutrition, and vitamin deficiencies may influence autoimmune diseases such as MS, SLE, and AA, highlighting associations with vitamin D levels and dietary interventions, but notes a lack of conclusive evidence for their roles in disease pathogenesis.

This review focuses on the roles of amino acids, peptides, and proteins in cosmetics, highlighting their importance in skin health and their potential for development in personal care products due to their unique properties and biocompatibility.

This study found that certain steroidal compounds, especially 10a–10c, demonstrated strong antiandrogenic activity by binding to the androgen receptor and reducing prostate weight in a hamster model.

This review explores nano-quercetin formulations to enhance the solubility, stability, and targeted delivery of quercetin, highlighting its potential efficacy in treating cancer, inflammation, metabolic diseases, and tissue regeneration, though challenges in biocompatibility, toxicity, and production remain, per this source.

This study found that pretreatment combining maceration with press-shear force and moist heat significantly increased the total phenolic and flavonoid contents in galactagogue herbs like banana inflorescences and Thai ginger.

This article reviews the properties of cellulose nanocrystals for sustainable development but presents no new experimental results.

This study identified new oxidative derivatives of finasteride, including a newly discovered metabolite, by using the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina.

This article discusses the various roles of steroids in vertebrate organ systems and notes several glucocorticoids that were among the Top 200 Drugs by sales in the 2010s, but it reports no new clinical findings.

Finasteride safely treats enlarged prostate and male-pattern baldness.

This research developed a zinc-doped nanocomposite using biodegradable materials, observing effective bone targeting and regeneration capabilities in vivo, with no observed cytotoxicity in the MG63 cell line, potentially due to blocking Farnesyl Diphosphate Synthetase to inhibit osteoclastic activity and promote osteogenesis.

In laboratory experiments, this study found that the topical prodrug SCD-153, a derivative of 4-methyl itaconate, reduced inflammation-related gene expression and induced significant hair growth in mice, suggesting it as a promising treatment candidate for alopecia areata.

This study observed a significant increase in cellular retinol-binding protein-1 expression in lesional skin of patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, suggesting its potential role in the disease's pathogenesis.

This review discusses U.S. patents in organic process development published in July and August 2004 and reports no new experimental results.

The researchers evaluated scientific data on the usage and pharmaceutical applications of ascorbic acid derivatives, such as ascorbyl-6-palmitate and ascorbyl-2-glucoside, highlighting their development into stable delivery platforms to overcome ascorbic acid's instability and formulation challenges.
