In this study, a topical application of Lotus corniculatus seed extract significantly reduced sebum production and skin oiliness in humans through inhibition of lipid synthesis pathways.

In this study, LC-OCT was used to distinguish between subtypes of scarring alopecia, laying the groundwork for further hypotheses and future research in larger and longitudinal studies to examine treatment responses.

This study comparatively evaluated different extraction techniques for Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi leaf extracts and found that conventional extraction with ethanol yielded the highest antioxidant activity and beneficial effects on skin cell viability, supporting its potential use in sustainable cosmeceutical formulations targeting skin aging.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris in real time, suggesting its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.

This study identified 674 differentially expressed proteins in the skin tissues of male and female Chinese merino sheep, suggesting gender-specific molecular mechanisms that may affect wool traits.

This study found that fruit extracts from certain Egyptian Sabal species demonstrated significant anti-androgenic activity and potential therapeutic effects against benign prostatic hyperplasia in rat models and cell lines.

This study found that while dutasteride significantly altered pregnane metabolism in mares during late gestation, it did not impact pregnancy outcomes, highlighting the complexity of pregnane metabolism and the necessity of LC-MS/MS for accurate measurement.

This study suggests that chest, arm, leg, and beard hair samples may be viable alternatives to scalp hair for monitoring long-term alcohol intake, although body hair is more typically collected from men.

This study developed a sensitive HPLC-MS/MS method for determining cyproterone acetate levels in human plasma and found no significant difference in its concentration between two oral formulations in bioequivalence testing.

This study found that autophagy-related gene expressions in bleomycin-induced mouse skin fibrosis initially increased and then decreased, implying autophagy activation may potentially reverse skin fibrosis.

This article reviews a variety of research presentations from the Society for Investigative Dermatology's annual meeting, highlighting advances in dermatological research without reporting new clinical results.

This study developed and validated a method for measuring stress biomarkers in hair during pregnancy, finding that glucocorticoid levels increased over trimesters while endocannabinoid levels remained constant, suggesting hair analysis as a reliable tool for monitoring stress responses in pregnant women.

This study examined finasteride degradation under stress conditions, identifying three unique degradation products in acidic environments, providing insights into impurity profiling and quality control for finasteride formulations.

This study observed that the degradation product PTeCA significantly increased in hair treated with oxidative cosmetics, suggesting it could be a reliable marker for detecting such treatments, with a proposed PTCA cut-off value using PTeCA as the gold standard.

This study observed that exposing human hair keratins to heat or UV treatments led to modifications in cysteine residues, disrupting crucial disulphide bonds and potentially reducing the structural integrity of hair similar to prolonged styling or sunlight exposure.

In this case study, authors reported that a 43-year-old female patient initially showed persistently high testosterone levels due to immunoassay interference, later verified as normal using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), highlighting the need to consider assay artifacts in diagnosing hyperandrogenism without clinical signs.

This study evaluated the anti-alopecia effects of Petroselinum crispum leaf extracts in a rabbit model and through molecular docking analysis, finding that two ethyl acetate fractions promoted hair growth, with effects comparable to minoxidil, suggesting potential for alopecia treatment development.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography correlates well with histopathological and dermoscopic findings in alopecia areata, suggesting it could be a useful diagnostic and monitoring tool for the condition.

This article discusses the diagnostic challenges between certain neonatal scalp conditions and highlights the potential of line-field confocal optical coherence tomography to provide detailed, non-invasive skin examination, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that various plant oils can penetrate the lipid-rich cell membrane complex of hair, improving its fatigue strength by preventing flaw propagation, with greater penetration observed for oils containing shorter chain lengths and unsaturated fatty acids.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized microscopic alterations in alopecia areata, suggesting its potential use in diagnosis and monitoring.

This study found that androstenedione was more effective than testosterone in diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS when measured by LC-MS/MS.

This study developed a method to measure local steroid hormone concentrations in hair, providing new insights into hormone dynamics associated with androgenetic alopecia.

This study developed a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method to detect sex hormones in health supplements from Hanoi, Vietnam, finding three out of 16 samples contained sex hormones, including banned testosterone at low levels (~0.5 mg/kg).

This study reports that dutasteride, used alone or with tamsulosin, effectively reduces acute urine retention and surgery risk in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, and may lower prostate cancer incidence, suggesting potential chemopreventive benefits.

This study observed that both finasteride and dutasteride significantly decreased dihydrotestosterone concentrations in hair, with dutasteride showing the greatest reduction.

This study found that hair from the vertex posterior is a reliable sampling region for detecting zolpidem intake, showing consistent drug concentration and peak position compared to other scalp regions.

This preliminary study of Alopecia Areata identified limited expression of certain metabolic transporters and enzymes in hair follicle immune cells, providing early insight into their unique energy needs.

This study concluded that the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method developed is viable for accurately quantifying spironolactone and its metabolite canrenone in plasma despite interference from plasma components.

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.
