This study found that a high-fat diet in rats led to obesity, insulin resistance, and structural changes in the parotid salivary glands, with associated negative impacts on general health.

This study found that in vitro extracts of Glycyrrhiza glabra root are strong antioxidants, particularly in ethanolic form, and contain secondary metabolites, but only showed mild antibacterial activity.

This case report describes a 62-year-old woman who developed chin and upper lip hair growth after using bimatoprost for glaucoma, highlighting hirsutism as a possible side effect of prostaglandin analogues.

This study reports that electromagnetic energy from a hydrocolloid wound dressing paste adversely affected human skin lipid droplets in vitro, but the implications, including potential cancer links, are unknown.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone treatment in female rats altered anterior pituitary gland gene expression, with significant repression of prolactin and inhibition of GnRH receptor gene expression, suggesting specific hormone production changes.

This review discusses how nanospanlastics, a type of ultra deformable vesicular nanocarrier, could enhance glaucoma management by improving the delivery and effectiveness of intraocular pressure-lowering agents, tackling adherence challenges, and advancing targeted therapies, according to the authors.

This study reported the first comprehensive transcriptome atlas of the extraorbital lacrimal gland in mice, identifying over 41 cell subclasses and revealing significant cell-cell communication networks, particularly among innate lymphoid cells.

In this study, 81% of patients with chronic migraine in Glasgow continued using erenumab for significant headache reduction at three months, suggesting a high response rate.

This study found that, in mice, different precursor populations give rise to Merkel cells in hairy versus glabrous skin, but their formation is controlled by a common genetic program involving FGFR2 signaling.

This review highlights the potential of cell-free therapies, particularly cell extracts, in addressing radiation-induced salivary gland damage from head and neck cancer treatment, emphasizing their practicality and safety compared to traditional therapies despite incomplete understanding of their bioactive components.

In this study, CD34-positive progenitor cells in irradiated salivary glands were observed to potentially aid in blood vessel formation and remodeling, suggesting their role in tissue healing after radiotherapy.

This review summarizes clinical trials and comparative studies showing that latanoprostene bunod 0.024% is effective and safe for reducing intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, detailing its mechanism and side effects while considering its therapeutic role.

This report documents the second known case of Castleman's disease in the lacrimal gland, diagnosed in an 84-year-old woman through histological examination after excising a left upper lid mass.

This study utilized ultrasound biomicroscopy to evaluate the anterior chamber in angle closure glaucoma patients, revealing that the anterior chamber angle is wider on the downside than the upside and identifying important parameters for potential laser surgery.

This study found that testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone affect human sebocytes differently depending on the skin region, with spironolactone inhibiting their proliferation and counteracting androgen effects in facial sebocytes.

This study found that in patch- and plaque-stage scalp psoriasis, sebaceous gland atrophy and reduced hair follicle size were common but there was no evidence of alopecia.

In this study, researchers developed a hair tonic using 7.5% Aloe vera extract and 2.5% licorice extract, finding that the formula with 15% ethanol showed optimum activity by promoting hair growth and increased hair weight in rabbits over 28 days.

This study found that exosomes derived from human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells enhanced stem cell proliferation and structural restoration in irradiated salivary glands of rats, with significant improvements observed by day 7, suggesting activation of the Wnt signaling pathway.

This article reports that while surgical excision is often the best treatment for SCC, intralesional cidofovir also showed success without systemic toxicity in the case discussed.

In this study, researchers found that steroidal 17β-carboxamides 1-4 significantly inhibited 5α-reductase enzyme activity and reduced prostate weight more effectively than finasteride in a hamster model, without toxic side effects, suggesting potential for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
