A new topical finasteride formulation effectively promotes hair growth with fewer side effects.

This chapter reviews the use of liposomes and cyclodextrins to improve the delivery and effectiveness of the peptide angiotensin-(1-7) in various therapeutic applications and reports no new experimental results.

This study suggests that true binary and ternary inclusion complexes were formed between finasteride and 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin, with or without the addition of specific polymers.

This study found that using monoolein cubic phase nanoparticles with an entrapped hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin/minoxidil complex increased minoxidil skin permeation, but minoxidil retention in the skin was higher with a traditional solution.

In this study, repeated finasteride administration was associated with decreased social interaction and cognitive deficits in male rats, potentially linked to changes in cholinergic system activity.

This review examines the role of cyclodextrins in improving the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of steroid drugs but does not report new experimental findings.

This review discusses the potential of nanotechnology-based formulations for delivering topical minoxidil to improve hair loss treatment outcomes and reports no new clinical results, urging further research into their benefits and safety considerations.

This study found that repeated finasteride administration in male Wistar rats led to increased depression-like behavior, suggesting an animal model for investigating finasteride's neuropsychiatric effects is viable.

This research investigated aqueous alginate-based hydrogels for delivering minoxidil and reported that using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) with molar substitution 0.65 significantly enhanced minoxidil's solubility and skin permeability without damaging the epidermis, suggesting potential as an alternative to commercial minoxidil solutions.

This study found that finasteride maintained chemical and physical stability in various excipient mixtures, which may guide the development of stable topical delivery systems.

In this study, clozapine reduced suicide-related behaviors in a schizophrenia-like mouse model, but its effects on exploratory behavior were counteracted by the neurosteroid inhibitor finasteride.

This article discusses how challenges in drug development and success rates are driving a shift in the pharmaceutical industry towards engineering targeted drug delivery systems, with nanomaterials offering potential solutions for selective therapeutic delivery.

This study developed finasteride-containing granules using a method that improved follicular targeting for androgenic alopecia and reported potential for easy industrial production.

This study evaluated new aqueous gel formulations of minoxidil without irritants and found that the calcium alginate gel showed the best performance in terms of drug release and skin permeation.

This study found that Hedgehog signaling likely contributes to cervical carcinogenesis, and while itraconazole reduced growth in mice, it did so through pathways other than inhibiting Hedgehog signaling.

This study observed that using the Fisher score feature selection approach with capsule network models led to a promising 94% accuracy in diabetes detection, indicating its potential as a diagnostic tool.

Smart microneedles using advanced tech could improve psoriasis treatment.

This study found that microplastics on the Lebanese Mediterranean coast transport various organic and inorganic pollutants, posing threats to marine organisms and potentially human health.

This research focused on formulating finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil with cyclodextrins to enhance their solubility and skin penetration for topical use, potentially reducing scalp irritation from current alcohol-based preparations.

This case report describes a 40-year-old woman with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome diagnosed with multiple chromophobe renal cell carcinomas, highlighting the importance of recognizing associated dermatologic lesions for early intervention.

In this case report, a 36-year-old patient undergoing secukinumab treatment for psoriasis experienced both hepatitis B reactivation and hair discoloration, suggesting a potential link between these effects, though further studies are needed to understand this relationship.

This study suggests that hair loss disorders like Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis may result from mutations that disrupt post-transcriptional regulation of HR protein expression by PCPB2 interacting with Hr mRNA.

In this case series study, mild ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was reported in only one out of 118 PCOS patients receiving highly purified HMG injections for IVF treatment.

This study suggests that human lymphoblastoid interferon, with or without prednisolone pretreatment, may be an effective and safe treatment option for hepatitis B in Oriental patients compared to placebo.

This study found that in lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B patients, tenofovir significantly reduced HBV DNA levels faster and more consistently than adefovir, reaching undetectable levels in all treated patients by 44 weeks.

In this case report, a newborn with Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome was diagnosed through early skin biopsy, which revealed unique histopathological features, including dystrophic calcifications, confirming a pathogenic variant in the EBP gene.

In this clinical case report, a man with Birt Hogg Dube syndrome presented with parathyroid cancer, the first such case according to the authors, highlighting a potential link between Folliculin gene mutations and parathyroid cancer development.

This study suggests that NBCCS and BFHS may be the same genetic condition, which could help improve identification and management of misdiagnosed cases with specific surveillance strategies.

During treatment with interferon/ribavirin for hepatitis C, this study observed significant and lasting improvement in a patient's psoriasis without additional psoriasis-specific therapies.

This study provides evidence that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata in previously healthy human hair follicles, challenging the view that it is solely an autoantigen-dependent autoimmune disease.
