This study evaluated formulations of a cream containing turmeric and ginger extracts for inhibiting underarm hair growth, finding that the formulation with 15% stearic acid and 3% triethanolamine had the most optimal physical characteristics and potential for cosmetic development.

In this review, the authors discussed the potential of hemp in cosmeceutics for skin conditions like acne and dermatitis, emphasizing its therapeutic properties and formulation challenges but noting the need for standardizing cannabinoid content and documenting effectiveness.

In this study, a nanoemulsion containing lavender, peppermint, and rosemary essential oils was developed and shown to promote hair growth in mice at a rate comparable to 2% topical minoxidil, suggesting a promising natural alternative due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

In this review, researchers evaluated 111 studies on the biological activities and phytochemical components of the plant Tridax procumbens, emphasizing its ethnobotanical potential and the need for more research to understand its therapeutic benefits, especially in its native tropical regions.

This study focused on developing a nanoemulsion-based gel for delivering minoxidil, aiming to enhance its contact time with the scalp and potentially improve skin absorption compared to conventional topical solutions.

This review outlines the potential of nanoemulsion-based hydrogels (nanoemulgels) for enhanced topical and transdermal drug delivery in treating skin disorders, highlighting their ability to improve therapeutic efficacy, control drug release, and boost patient compliance.

This review discusses the potential for surface-modified nanostructured lipid carriers to enhance hair regrowth by improving drug absorption and stability, focusing on their use with agents like minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss treatment.

This review examines the advances in nanostructured lipid carriers for treating hyperpigmentation but presents no new clinical results; the authors highlight their potential benefits and applications.

This source discusses the potential of integrating herbal extracts with nanotechnology in skincare products, highlighting improved effectiveness and targeted delivery of active ingredients to skin cells compared to traditional formulations.

This study developed a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method to detect sex hormones in health supplements from Hanoi, Vietnam, finding three out of 16 samples contained sex hormones, including banned testosterone at low levels (~0.5 mg/kg).

This study found that replacing components with artificial sebum in the modified Leeming and Notman agar medium significantly increased the growth yield of Malassezia restricta.

This study found that measuring specific steroid hormone levels can aid in diagnosing P450 oxidoreductase deficiency, a subtype of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, by distinguishing affected patients from healthy individuals.

In this study, nanoemulsion formulations were found to significantly enhance the skin retention of the antiseptic agent triclosan, with the optimal mixture being a low surfactant concentration, as demonstrated through quantitative and qualitative analysis using tape-stripping and micro CT scans.

The researchers reported that epitestosterone treatment reduced eicosanoid levels generated by cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases in rabbit liver samples with carrageenan-induced inflammation.

Several companies launched new hair care ingredients in 2011 to improve conditioning, color retention, combability, and heat protection.

This study found that finasteride and melengestrol acetate exhibit varying levels of toxicity to freshwater mussels, amphipods, and mayflies, but current environmental concentrations suggest minimal direct effects on these aquatic invertebrates.

In a clinical trial, this study found that a modified slow-release oral testosterone formulation improved pharmacokinetics, delaying serum testosterone peaks and reducing serum DHT compared to immediate-release formulations, especially when combined with finasteride.

This study identified "HTLV-1-associated lichenoid dermatitis" as a skin condition in HTLV-1-infected individuals, characterized by reactive eruptions associated with increased immunity toward infected CD4+ T cells.

This case report describes a possible association between Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and linear IgA/IgG bullous dermatosis in a 35-year-old Japanese male, though coincidence cannot be ruled out.

This letter reports a homozygous missense mutation in the LIPH gene causing autosomal recessive hypotrichosis simplex in a Chinese patient.

This study found that the mutant hairless rhino bald protein in mice interacts with the vitamin D receptor but cannot repress its transactivation and shows abnormal cellular localization.

This study reported that the absence of Lsh in skin led to significant epidermal hyperplasia and altered gene expression, suggesting its crucial role in regulating epidermal proliferation, differentiation, and wound healing.

In this case study from King Fahad University Hospital, an 11-month-old Saudi boy with a history of short, non-growing hair was diagnosed with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, attributed to a homozygous mutation in the LIPH gene.

This study developed a double-wavelength laser scanning microphotometer to measure hair shaft and follicle absorbance, improving spatial resolution and reducing light scattering effects in vitro.

This study observed that some patients with homozygous c.736T>A mutation in LIPH may have mild hypotrichosis with long hairs in adulthood.

This study identified a specific LIPH gene mutation (736T>A) as common in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, potentially indicating its role in the condition's manifestation within this population.

This report presents a rare case of lichen spinulosus in a 52-year-old woman, featuring hyperkeratotic follicular papules and a dense lymphohistiocytic infiltrate in affected skin areas.

This study identified that in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, the c.736T > A LIPH mutation is associated with a mild phenotype, while the c.742C > A mutation may lead to severe baldness.

This case report describes the first known association of hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita with autoimmune hepatitis, expanding the list of conditions linked to this rare disorder.
