This review discusses the role of steroid 5 alpha reductase 2 in converting testosterone to DHT and its association with conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer; it reports no new results.

This study found that a hair tonic made from sweet potato leaf extract demonstrated strong antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur in vitro, comparable to 2% ketoconazole, suggesting its potential as an antidandruff treatment.

This study identified numerous nutraceutical components in unripe fruits of three Musa species, potentially valuable for developing pharmaceuticals that promote human health.

This study demonstrated that cortisol, estradiol, and testosterone are preserved in archaeological human hair, allowing for the analysis of ancient stress and reproductive hormone patterns.

This study found that a green tea extract gel was stable across various temperatures, did not cause eye irritation, and significantly increased eyelash growth compared to a placebo after two months of use in human volunteers.

This review explores the concept of cosmetic toxicity in Ayurveda, focusing on chemical hazards in cosmetics and their management, but provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that compounds isolated from Indian medicinal plants showed good to moderate hair growth activity in vivo compared to minoxidil.

Atopic dermatitis may have genetic causes and can be treated with pharmacologic methods, glycerin creams, and controlling Staphylococcus aureus colonization.

This study found that ethanol-containing formulations significantly increased minoxidil retention in the stratum corneum and appendages initially, while a propylene glycol-rich formulation enhanced deeper skin penetration over time.

This review suggests that GABAergic neuroactive steroids modulated by alcohol could play a role in vulnerability to alcohol use disorders, providing a rationale for further therapeutic exploration.

This review explores the potential of using genetically-manipulated stem cells as both therapeutic agents and gene delivery vehicles for enhanced wound regeneration, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses recent developments in α1-adrenoceptor antagonists and 5α-reductase inhibitors for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, reporting no new clinical results while identifying potential areas for future drug development.

This systematic review explored the potential of cetirizine, an anti-inflammatory antihistamine, as a complementary treatment for androgenetic alopecia, reporting that it might help prevent hair follicle miniaturization by reducing inflammation and modulating immune activity, without notable side effects.

This literature review found that combinations of certain herbal extracts with coconut oil, such as Hibiscus rosa sinensis and Centella asiatica, promoted hair growth in animals over 30 days, with varied results across rat and rabbit models.

In this study, formulations of a typical lotion shampoo with ethanol or propylene glycol increased the in-vitro release rate of zinc pyrithione, an anti-dandruff agent.

In this study, researchers found that isoproterenol, an adrenergic β2 receptor agonist, promoted hair growth and hair follicle stem cell proliferation in models of androgenetic alopecia by modulating the PI3K/AKT/β-Catenin pathway, suggesting a potential new therapeutic strategy for hair loss.

This study found that ethanol extract and n-hexane fraction of rampai leaves may stimulate hair growth in rabbits, showing potential as an anti-alopecia treatment.

In this survey, dermatologists in India reported preferring alcohol-free minoxidil combined with procapil and finasteride over traditional alcohol-based formulations for managing androgenetic alopecia, citing better tolerance and patient adherence.

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 the vitamin D receptor in lampreys, which lack bones and hair, binds 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and may function to induce enzymes for detoxifying substances.

This review discusses the pharmacological benefits and chemical compounds of the Sophora genus, noting its traditional use and wide pharmacological actions, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews potential factors influencing Behçet's disease, like increased neutrophil functions, immunological changes, stress, and hormonal alterations, but it presents no new clinical results.

In this animal study, researchers found that finasteride may offer neuroprotective benefits as a post-ischemic treatment for strokes in aged male rats, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent in this context.

This study found that NKIRAS2 expression affects skin tumor suppression and HRAS-driven transformation in mice, indicating its role in carcinogenesis depends on expression level and cellular context.

This study found that mesenchymal cells in mouse and chicken embryonic skin undergo a process of migration driven by tissue tension and WNT secretion, influencing their dispersal and integration into dermal condensates.

This study suggests that the testosterone analogs 7α-Methyltestosterone and 7α-Ethyltestosterone may offer promising androgenic, progestogenic, and anabolic properties for development as male contraceptives.

In this study, researchers observed that after mesenchymal cell division in mouse and chicken embryonic skin, elevated migration speed and persistence for 180 minutes contribute to mesenchymal dispersal and preferential recruitment to dermal condensates.

This study developed a faster method for analyzing fatty acid ethyl esters in hair to help detect alcohol consumption levels, showing potential for applications in forensic and clinical settings.

This study found that oil extracted from Prinsepia utilis seeds is physicochemically stable and suitable for use in manufacturing ketoconazole soap, which met quality control standards and may provide a cost-effective alternative to expensive additives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.
