This study found that lower testosterone levels in male COVID-19 patients were associated with greater disease severity and longer hospital stays.

The researchers reported that in hairless mice, epidermal cell division orientations and epidermal thickness varied by body site, with dorsal and ear epidermis primarily dividing parallel to the basement membrane, unlike hind paw and tail epidermis.

This study found that finasteride decreased DHT-stimulated AR activity and cell growth in prostate cancer cells with mutant AR, but not in those with wild type AR.

Metformin helps manage diabetes, PCOS, and weight in kids but needs more research for long-term safety.

This study found that using spanlastics, a nano, surfactant-based drug delivery system, improved the bioavailability, drug release characteristics, and pharmacokinetic behavior of famotidine, a poorly soluble drug, by enhancing its dissolution and membrane permeation.

This study identified a novel recessive mutation in mice causing lethal congenital lamellar ichthyosis, with skin and hair follicle alterations similar to human congenital ichthyoses, linked to a specific genetic defect affecting Fatp4.

This study found that dutasteride more effectively inhibited androgen receptor signaling and reduced cell growth compared to finasteride in prostate cancer cell models, with varying sensitivities across different cell lines.

This study found that people taking Serenoa repens for more than 14 days had a higher likelihood of serious adverse reactions, particularly when also using multiple or interacting supplements, although higher SR doses were linked to lower risk.

In this case report, a 38-year-old woman with Parry–Romberg syndrome displayed left-sided facial atrophy and subclinical central nervous system involvement detectable by neuroimaging, suggesting that even symptom-free cases may benefit from systematic brain evaluations.

In this study, reports from individuals using Serenoa repens indicated a possible post-Serenoa syndrome characterized by persistent sexual and neuropsychiatric symptoms, with causality assessed as 'probable' in 54% of cases, highlighting an underrecognized safety concern that warrants further investigation.

This study found that engineered reconstituted skin can form morphogenetic units that promote tissue patterning and hair regeneration, with certain signaling pathways restoring this ability in adult and fetal cells.

This study found that a new alcohol-free minoxidil hydrogel formulation showed comparable in vitro efficacy and skin absorption to the commercial minoxidil product for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that castration-resistant prostate cancers resistant to CYP17A1 inhibitors may still depend on steroids and could respond to therapies targeting de novo intratumoral steroid synthesis.

This study reported that the novel AKT inhibitor CCT128930 demonstrated significant antitumor activity in human cancer cell lines and xenografts, highlighting its potential as an anticancer therapy.

This study revealed the complex three-dimensional innervation of touch domes in cat forepaw skin, highlighting the extensive branching and unmyelinated endings associated with Merkel cell–axon complexes.

This study found that AHCC significantly reduced alopecia caused by Ara-C in neonatal rats and improved liver function affected by 6-MP and MTX in mice.

This study found that chronic administration of testosterone in mice induced an elevated EPO secretion response, possibly mediated through DHT, without affecting baseline EPO levels.

Finasteride boosts morphine's pain relief and prevents tolerance and withdrawal in rats.

This study developed a stable nanoemulsion using ultrasonic vibrations and Tween 80 emulsifier, which can enhance the antibacterial activity and prolong the shelf life of food products, as well as be applicable in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals for oral and transdermal use.

This review highlights the importance of selecting high-quality bioassays in discovering bioactive compounds from marine sources, emphasizing their role in evaluating safety and efficacy during pharmaceutical, food supplement, and cosmetic development.

This meta-analysis suggests a significant association between the use of facial sunscreen and moisturizer and frontal fibrosing alopecia, while finding no significant relationship with hair products or treatments.

This case report described a probable case of acute liver injury associated with high-dose S. repens, highlighting the safety concerns of self-medicating with herbal supplements like saw palmetto.

This case series found that topical janus kinase inhibitors, along with oral fexofenadine and vitamin D supplementation, significantly reduced disease severity in Black pediatric patients with alopecia areata, demonstrating substantial hair regrowth and minimal adverse side effects.

This case series observed that five Black pediatric patients with moderate to severe alopecia areata showed significant hair regrowth and minimal disease activity after treatment with topical JAK inhibitors, vitamin D supplementation, and antihistamines, with additional therapies in some cases.

This review discusses the potential and current limitations of regenerative therapies like PRP and stem cells in dermatology, highlighting the need for more clinical trials to standardize protocols and optimize outcomes.

This study found that a community education program using group discussions and leaflets significantly increased knowledge and skills among Sungai Bilu residents in South Kalimantan for using riverbank plants as alternative medicine.

This study found that men with early-onset male pattern alopecia did not significantly differ from healthy individuals in cardiovascular and metabolic measures, but hsCRP and galectin-3 were linked to cardiovascular risk factors in those with the condition.

SFRP-4 might be an early indicator of diabetes and hypertension in men with androgenic alopecia.

This article discusses the growing trend of repurposing existing medications for innovative therapeutic uses and highlights the need for pharmacy practitioners to be informed about accessing clinical evidence related to these applications, but it reports no new results.
