Pill splitting increased generic finasteride sales but didn't affect branded finasteride sales.

This article discusses the psychological impact of skin imperfections and suggests establishing a Cosmetic Dermatology Service within public health systems to address these issues ethically.

This review highlights how utilizing unconventional and non-traditional cell sources for cultivated meat production could overcome manufacturing challenges, with distinct biological advantages potentially improving bioprocess efficiency and enabling the creation of novel meat products, according to the authors.

This phase Ib study found that combining pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and pembrolizumab was well-tolerated and effective, with durable antitumor responses and a median survival of over two years in heavily pretreated ER-positive metastatic breast cancer patients.

This scoping review found that while digital health technologies designed to address health equity in Black communities have increased, the application and evaluation of equity-focused design approaches remain inconsistent, highlighting a need for integrating equity metrics throughout the design process.

This study highlights that alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition often starting in childhood, poses a higher risk of becoming chronic with an early onset and can result in poor therapy response.

This study evaluated a plant-based shampoo formulation's scale-up from laboratory to industrial production, reporting that the product maintained its quality, safety, and stability at each scale while meeting microbiological safety standards.

This study observed that plant-derived extracellular vesicles delivered through a microneedling technique showed favorable tolerance and subjective improvement in androgenetic alopecia patients, with 95% reporting perceived improvement and 85% experiencing no adverse effects after six sessions.

In this phase 1B study, patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer receiving combined pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and pembrolizumab had a disease control rate of 67% with responses lasting a median of 11 months; the treatment was well tolerated and showed potential for extended use.

This review highlights the potential of stem cell-based therapies, including hair follicle, mesenchymal, and induced pluripotent stem cells, as promising future treatments for alopecia, noting their regenerative and immunomodulatory capabilities as well as ongoing studies evaluating their effectiveness in overcoming current therapy limitations.

This review highlights the potential for physical exercise to reduce treatment toxicity and modification rates in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer receiving systemic treatments, suggesting benefits for survival outcomes; it recommends further trials to confirm these findings.

In this six-year study of a Saudi cohort, oral tofacitinib showed favorable long-term effectiveness for patients with AA, with manageable adverse events requiring regular monitoring.

This study developed a rapid ATP assay that effectively measures microbial populations on the skin and tracks changes after microbiome dysbiosis, with findings suggesting that ethanol-cleansed skin takes longer to recover than tape-stripped skin.

This pilot study found that an 8-week treatment with a hyaluronic acid and hydrogen peroxide gel improved folliculitis symptoms and patient satisfaction, supporting its potential use in dermatologic practice and future trials.

This case report demonstrated that long-hair follicular unit extraction may effectively reconstruct the mustache area following surgical scarring, with high patient satisfaction and no complications observed.

This study explores the design of responsive drug carriers based on the tumor microenvironment to improve targeting and reduce side effects in cancer treatment, using a model of delivering curcumin with a responsive polymer carrier and evaluating potential errors due to cancer cell heterogeneity.

This study found that hair follicle transplantation improved wound healing in diabetic mice by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation, with follicles from normoglycemic conditions proving more effective than those from hyperglycemic environments.

In a murine model of androgenetic alopecia, this study found that the newly designed IGF-1 biomimetic peptide Ac-GFFY-IGF led to faster and superior hair regrowth compared to minoxidil, suggesting potential for improved human therapies.

This case report suggests that a proactive physical therapy model can be effective for improving physical function and meeting exercise guidelines in patients newly diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus.

This source explores injectable minoxidil as a hair loss treatment, noting its enhanced bioavailability but also the potential for adverse effects and higher costs compared to other formulations, with a call for further research on its efficacy and access relative to alternatives.

In this study, a systematic review highlighted the potential of exosomes in cosmetics and regenerative medicine for improving skin rejuvenation and addressing aging, while also pointing out existing challenges such as regulatory hurdles and the need for more clinical validation.

This case report suggests that scalp arteriovenous malformations can cause local hair loss, which may recover following ethanol embolization treatment.

This systematic review found no existing studies evaluating the effectiveness of waxing and mechanical epilation as methods of preoperative hair removal to reduce surgical site infections, highlighting a potential area for future research.

This study suggests that a supercritical CO2 extract from wild-strawberry-processing waste may be an innovative and sustainable ingredient for cosmetic applications, particularly in treating androgenic-related skin conditions.

This case report highlights the significance of alopecia totalis and knuckle pad hyperpigmentation as early indicators of azathioprine-induced myelosuppression and pancytopenia.

This study found that using a new technique to apply platelet-rich plasma during surgery improved early outcomes in hips with avascular necrosis, including in patients previously treated for Covid-19.

This study found that using a new method to apply platelet-rich plasma during surgery improved early outcomes for patients with hip avascular necrosis, including those with a history of Covid-19.

In this study, researchers identified a collagen fragment, sample-1707, expressed in E. coli, which forms nanofibers and promotes blood clotting, osteoblast differentiation, and skin cell regeneration, making it a promising biomaterial for skin care, with a large-scale production yield of 600 mg/L.

This study developed an AI-driven method for classifying cells in Follicular Lymphoma cases, achieving a 63% F1-score, precision, and recall in distinguishing centroblasts from other cell types using whole slide images at x20 resolution.
