The effectiveness of finasteride for preventing chronic bacterial prostatitis is unclear.

In this study, 1 mg/day finasteride lowered serum PSA concentration in men aged 40–60, suggesting that PSA adjustment recommendations for prostate cancer screening using 5 mg/day finasteride should also apply to this lower dose for hair loss treatment.

This study found that hydroquinone caused structural damage to the skin of rats, while aloe vera reduced this damage, suggesting potential concerns for its use in skin lightening creams.

This study found that local platelet-rich plasma injection improved mid-term outcomes for carpal tunnel syndrome more effectively than other conservative treatments, although long-term effects and standardization need further research.

This study observed that long COVID symptoms differed between patients infected in the Delta and Omicron periods, with those in the Omicron period experiencing milder illnesses but more fatigue, insomnia, and cough.

This review examines how GLP-1 receptor agonists might impact metabolic and reproductive outcomes in polycystic ovary syndrome, but it reports no new clinical findings and highlights the need for further research.

This review discusses the effects of chemical hair straighteners and reports associated side effects like scalp inflammation and hair damage, noting the variability of findings and the need for further research.

This study found that 1 mg/day of finasteride significantly reduced serum PSA concentrations in men with androgenic alopecia aged 40–60 over 48 weeks, suggesting implications for prostate-cancer screening in this population.

In this study, a topical Ashwagandha serum significantly improved hair growth, density, thickness, and quality of life in adults with mild to moderate hair loss compared to a placebo, demonstrating potential as an effective and safer alternative treatment for alopecia.

This review examines the negative relationship between polycystic ovarian syndrome and cardiovascular health, suggesting treatments like oral contraception and lifestyle changes may mitigate these effects, but highlights the need for further research.

This case report highlights two instances of alopecia areata, demonstrating diverse presentations, and suggests upadacitinib as a promising treatment option, resulting in hair regrowth within 3–6 months, without worsening sarcoidosis-related skin lesions.

In this study, cats fed trace minerals complexed with lysine and glutamic acid displayed temporary improvements in hair loss and dander scores at 45 days, compared to those receiving inorganic trace minerals, although no differences were seen by day 90.

In this study, researchers at the Laboratory of Regenerative Medicine WUM are exploring the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-19 infection, focusing on stem cell mobilization and engraftment processes, and utilizing advanced diagnostic techniques to develop algorithms for rare disease classification, including amyloidosis.

This review examines the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma for treating hair loss, highlighting the lack of standardized protocols for PRP preparation and delivery and reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that the crude extract of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaves, whether irradiated or not, showed significant antioxidant activity without causing toxicity in rats, suggesting gamma radiation may enhance its therapeutic properties.

This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats has lasting effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis, neuroinflammation, and gut microbiota composition even one month after discontinuation.

In this study, researchers used a patient-reported outcome questionnaire to assess long-term adverse effects in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, finding persistent symptoms like neuropathy, dysgeusia, insomnia, and nail loss. Peripheral neuropathy was notably prolonged in those receiving anthracycline- and taxane-based regimens compared to docetaxel/cyclophosphamide.

This study from years of treating hair loss in Japan reported various treatment outcomes: some patients showed improvement with manual treatment alone, others with added finasteride, some did not respond to either, and some maintained benefits even after stopping finasteride.

In this study, testosterone treatment was found to increase blood pressure in rats, potentially through mechanisms involving sodium and water retention in the kidneys and changes in specific gene expressions in the brain.

This review highlights that incorporating nanomaterials into scaffolds can significantly enhance angiogenesis in tissue regeneration by simulating extracellular matrix structures and effectively delivering angiogenesis-related factors, offering promising designs for vascularization and therapeutic applications.

This study found that coadministration of 5α-reductase inhibitors with oral testosterone in oil significantly increases serum testosterone levels in medically castrated men compared to testosterone alone, with food intake minimally affecting these levels.

This study found that a stochastic follicular automaton model replicates hair follicle cycle fluctuations, with deterministic simulations aligning with steady-state levels as follicle numbers increase.

This review outlines strategies for preventing, identifying, and managing complications related to current MS therapies and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the growing complexity in MS treatment regimens.

This study found that a single injection of Platelet Rich Stroma improved knee function and reduced pain and stiffness in patients with knee osteoarthritis over twelve months.

This study found that spaceflight alters gene expression in human hair follicles, with variations among astronauts, and suggests that spaceflight may inhibit cell proliferation in hair follicles.

The study reported that reducing finasteride particle size significantly improved its cellular permeation through prostate epithelial cells, though it had a lesser impact on systemic pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution in rats.

This study observed that the incidence of hair loss as a spontaneously reported side effect of novel oral anticoagulant therapy is approximately 4.4 per 100 patient years.

Mesenchymal cells can significantly boost human hair growth and longevity.

In this study, DNA cross-linking agents used in cancer therapy were found to cause unintended hyperplasia and fate mis-specification in normal epithelial stem cells through inflammasome activation in dermal fibroblasts.

This study found that both subclinical and overt maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy and lactation caused significant damage to the skin development of rat offspring, including pronounced hyperkeratosis and reduced hair follicle formation, with more severe effects observed in overt hypothyroidism.
