This study explored the structure and function of lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, revealing its dual role in substrate catalysis and as a lipophilic ligand carrier, potentially informing future drug delivery design.

This study found that knock-down of keratin 15 in various cell lines affected cell spreading, morphology, migration, differentiation, and proliferation, suggesting its role in maintaining the stem cell nature of keratinocytes.

This review discusses the neurobiology of sexual function and reports no new results; the authors cover multiple endocrine and neurotransmitter influences on sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm stages.

This study found that gonadal dysfunction is very common in premenopausal women with acromegaly and may be caused by hyperprolactinemia, GH/IGF-I excess, or tumor effects.

This workshop review discusses the dual role of cellular senescence in cancer, highlighting both its anticancer effects and pro-tumorigenic potential, while reporting no new research results.

This study demonstrated that caffeine, minoxidil, and the HIF-1α-stimulating agent deferiprone significantly enhanced dermal papilla cell proliferation in a 3D culture model, suggesting deferiprone as a potential alternative to minoxidil.

This study found that chronic use of Russelia equisetiformis extracts in rats may impair liver function, with a more pronounced effect observed from the methanol extract.

In this study on testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats, hydroxychloroquine significantly reduced prostate-related markers and enhanced therapeutic effects when combined with finasteride, suggesting potential as a new treatment approach.

In this study, researchers overexpressed Lrig3 in mouse skin and observed hair loss linked to changes in skin protein profiles and signaling pathways, suggesting a potential role for Lrig3 in maintaining skin homeostasis.

This study observed that lifestyle modifications resulting in weight loss improved menstrual irregularity and hormonal balance among infertile obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome, although changes in total testosterone and estrone were not significant.

In this study, oral finasteride treatment for four weeks reduced the weight of the corpus cavernosum in rats but did not significantly affect erectile function.

This study found that white hair fibers have lower lipid content and different water absorption dynamics compared to brown hair fibers, suggesting differences in their barrier functions.

This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma in hair follicle morphogenesis using a novel mouse model but reports no new results, highlighting the need for further research on its function during the hair cycle.

In a laboratory setting, this study found that overexpression of the FGF5 short form in cultured keratinocytes increased hepatic growth factor gene expression, suggesting a potential role in hair growth.

This study observed that rhizobacterial strain RT3 significantly improved drought tolerance in lettuce by increasing survival rates and fresh biomass after rewatering, with metabolites such as proline and glycine enhancing stress resilience.

This study utilized a mouse model of traumatic brain injury to reveal that acute neurotrauma triggers widespread lipid metabolism reprogramming and storage lipid accumulation in microglial and monocyte populations, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, inhibited autophagy, and exacerbated inflammation through a pathological feedback loop.

This study found that a 50% ethanolic extract of Adiantum capillus had significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in animals, particularly at the highest tested dose of 300 mg/kg.

The human hair follicle can store topical compounds and be targeted for drug delivery with minimal side effects.

This study found that treatment with a 1550 nm fractional erbium–glass laser increased hair density and thickness in women with female pattern hair loss, suggesting it may be an effective and safe option.

This study suggests a potential link between proteasome function and nucleotide excision repair in animal models with defects in the NER pathway, with implications for ageing.

This study found that 1550-nm Er:Glass fractional laser treatment significantly increased hair density and shaft diameter in patients with androgenetic alopecia, though the mechanism may not involve Wnt10A or IGF-1 expression.

The researchers reported that differences in brain functional connectivity between unmedicated seasonal affective disorder patients and healthy controls vary with ICA model order, peaking in volume at model order 70.

This study found that a nanoparticle-in-nanofiber system significantly accelerated wound healing in rats by promoting angiogenesis and tissue regeneration more effectively than a commercial wound dressing.

This study found that aging in the epidermis disrupts cytokine balance and stem cell function, which may contribute to broader tumor-suppressive mechanisms.

In this mouse study, severe selenoprotein deficiency in epidermal cells was linked to skin abnormalities, disrupted hair follicle development, and progressive alopecia, highlighting the role of selenoproteins in skin and hair health.

In this study, researchers reported that a keratinocyte growth factor-Ig fusion protein could specifically detect and localize KGFRs in epithelial tissues, suggesting a method for histochemical detection of growth factor receptors.

This review discusses the nutrient profile and potential health benefits of pumpkin and watermelon seeds, concluding they are underutilized and could be developed into various nutraceuticals.

This study found that pharmacological inhibition of sex steroid synthesis impacts pathogenic processes in traumatic brain injury in a sex-specific manner, with distinct effects of letrozole and finasteride on molecular and neurological outcomes.

In this study, minoxidil treatment in aged mice increased elastin expression and improved aortic structure and function, suggesting its potential for arterial remodeling in aging.

This study developed an antimicrobial microneedle patch for delivering apoptotic vesicles to treat infected wounds, which was found to effectively reduce bacterial growth and accelerate scarless healing, including the rapid formation of mature hair follicles in just 8 days, a previously unreported early outcome.
