December 2011 in “Revista Brasileira de Farmacognosia” In this animal study, petroleum ether and ethanolic extracts of Abrus precatorius seeds appeared to reverse androgen-induced alopecia in male albino rats by inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme, similar to finasteride.
June 2026 in “International Journal of Innovative Technologies in Social Science” In this narrative review, the authors highlighted that AI-supported electronic health record analysis could help recognize Polycystic Ovary Syndrome/Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome earlier, but also warned that these systems might perpetuate historical biases if not properly validated and interpreted.
September 2011 in “European journal of cancer” August 2025 in “International Journal of Scientific Research” This study found that both intralesional PRP and corticosteroids are effective for alopecia areata, but PRP offers higher patient satisfaction and fewer side effects, despite a slower initial response.
October 2008 in “The Journal of Urology” This article discusses the role of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors in prostate cancer prevention and highlights a medical quandary, but it reports no new clinical findings.

July 2023 in “Journal of visualized experiments” This study presents an improved protocol for isolating and culturing whole neonatal cochlear explants, enabling detailed analysis of hair cells and spiral ganglion neuron cells while simplifying culture steps without sacrificing explant quality, and was successfully tested on mice and rat cochleas.
This study developed and tested continuous implanters for dermal papilla cell aggregates, finding that the bar-cartridge type implanter is the most effective design for continuous cell implantation in androgenetic alopecia research.
December 2020 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study suggests that 150 kHz electromagnetic radiation exposure may reduce follicular cysts and increase developing follicles in a rat model of polycystic ovaries without affecting hormonal levels or overall ovary morphology.

,
March 2010 in “Gynecologic and obstetric investigation” This study found that parenteral administration of cyproterone acetate was more effective than high-dose oral treatment in reducing facial hair diameter and improving dermatological parameters in patients with severe hirsutism, despite similar androgen suppression.
1 citations
,
January 2018 in “International Journal of Clinical and Developmental Anatomy” This study highlights that including scalp dermoscopy in diagnosing patients treated with the Regenera® protocol revealed that expected outcomes were often overestimated for those with poor prognosis.
