This study found that the methanolic heartwood extract of Avicennia marina significantly inhibited the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase type 1 in a cell-based assay, suggesting potential anti-androgenic effects for treating androgenic alopecia.

This study found significant upregulation of IDO-1 and IDO-2 in human basal cell carcinomas, suggesting that IDO production may confer immune privilege characteristics to the tumors, potentially impacting their growth.

This study found that the NHD domain, but not the PHD domain, of hPygo2 is crucial for Wnt-independent growth of ovarian cancer cells, and identified a key interaction with Treacle protein involved in ribosomal biogenesis.

This study supports that an antibody response against anagen-specific hair follicle antigens, including trichohyalin and keratin 16, may play a role in alopecia areata.

This study found that dietary vitamin E influenced gene expression in rat livers, altering genes related to metabolism, coagulation, and steroid processing, and confirmed its effects on related biological endpoints.

Flutamide worked better than finasteride for reducing excessive hair growth in women, but had more side effects.

Blocking IL-1 could help treat some hair loss conditions; alopecia affects liver detox systems; spironolactone is better than finasteride for female hair growth; focusing on the catagen hair phase could lead to new alopecia treatments.

Spironolactone reduces hair growth in women with unexplained excessive hairiness.

This study found that multiple genes and pathways, particularly several keratin-associated proteins, may be involved in the molecular pathogenesis of male androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers found that changes in immune cell infiltration and immune-related gene expression may contribute to the immune microenvironment changes in male androgenetic alopecia.

This study demonstrated that FT-Raman spectroscopy is effective for identifying finasteride polymorphs in tablets and detecting the presence of alternative polymorphs down to about 15% concentration.

This study found that while there were no significant objective changes in facial hirsutism using topical finasteride, most patients perceived a reduction in hair growth after treatment.

This study identified two cell surface markers, FAP and CD90, that distinguish between papillary and reticular fibroblasts in human skin, suggesting distinct functions and distribution in dermal layers.

This study identifies six novel keratin genes from the chromosome 17q21.2 region, suggesting their association with hair follicles, while all 27 keratin genes in the domain have been characterized transcriptionally.

This study found that low-dose finasteride use in young men was associated with higher reporting of persistent sexual dysfunction, with some cases linked to suicidal ideation.

This study found that mutations in phosphorylation sites on the PIN3 protein disrupt its phosphorylation and subcellular trafficking, affecting auxin transport and root growth in a cell-type-specific manner.

This review discusses three newly identified forms of epidermolysis bullosa related to mutations in DST-e, EXPH5, and ITGA3, offering insights into their genetic and clinical characteristics but reports no new clinical results.

Raspberry ketone may help grow hair and improve skin elasticity.

This study found that supplementing young rats' diet with lactoflavin prevented cataract development, while a diet lacking all B vitamins, except flavin, led to cataracts and alopecia.

This study observed that root hair growth in Arabidopsis occurs episodically, with each growth period associated with external alkalization and internal acidification, suggesting a role for proton influx in facilitating polar growth.

This study validated the Black Identity, Hair Product Use, and Breast Cancer Scale (BHBS) as a tool to measure social and cultural factors related to hair product use and perceived breast cancer risk in Black women.

This review discusses gender identity disorder in Japan, highlighting the high prevalence and challenges in accessing appropriate treatment, and calls for wider understanding among medical professionals.

In this study, a genetic analysis identified a pathogenic variant in the ALOXE3 gene associated with non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, and the patient's response to antifungal treatment highlights the risk of cutaneous fungal infections.

This study reports an increased frequency of the DI genotype of the ACE gene polymorphism among women with PCOS, notably in those with hyperandrogenism, and an association of the II genotype with insulin resistance.

This study found that female Holdobaggy goslings have higher melanin content in their dorsal plumage than males, suggesting that initial plumage color can be used for sex identification.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with coat type in domestic dogs, showing certain variants linked to single-coated breeds and suggesting potential regulatory roles.

This study demonstrated that current facial recognition software can accurately identify individuals from MRI head scans within minutes, highlighting significant privacy concerns for clinical trial participants and the need for enhanced data protection measures.

This case study reported a rare infection by Trichosporon inkin, causing white piedra in a family in Southern Brazil, emphasizing the importance of molecular tools for precise identification.

This study found that transgender or gender-nonconforming youth experience higher odds of sleep disorders compared to cisgender peers, but gender-affirming therapy may reduce these odds.
