Melatonin may protect inner ear cells from damage by reducing cell death and oxidative stress, potentially treating sudden hearing loss.

This review details the expression and diverse functions of melatonin receptors in non-neural tissues and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing their potential as therapeutic targets across various physiological and pathological processes.

This study utilized a sequence-structure alignment approach to improve the characterization of Class A Rhodopsin GPCR superfamily, including orphan and unclassified receptors, through evolutionary analysis.

This chapter reviews existing knowledge about melatonin's MT₁ and MT₂ receptors in human tissues, discussing their established and potential functions, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study demonstrated that engineered skin substitutes using human keratinocytes and murine dermal papilla cells can develop pigmented hairs without sebaceous glands, suggesting separate pathways for hair development and eruption.

This study found that the proteins GDNF, NTN, GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and c-Ret are differentially expressed during various stages of the human hair follicle cycle, with potential implications for hair biology.

This study suggests that decorin may help maintain hair follicle stem cells and its reduced expression could contribute to age-related hair loss.

This study found that non-pigmented hair follicles have significantly lower expression of nucleotide excision repair genes, which may be associated with reduced melanin production capacity in these follicles.

This study found that rat hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells can be successfully differentiated into beating atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes by using specific combinations of growth factors and inhibitors in culture, demonstrating their potential to form functional myocardial fibers similar to adult heart cells.

This study found that VEGFR-2 activation may play a role in hair follicle differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis by co-expressing with several key proteins in normal human scalp skin.

This in-vitro study reported that a luliconazole-based formulation improved hair cuticle integrity and was more effective than ketoconazole in repairing damaged hair after 5 and 10 washes, with sensory analysis supporting these results. Further human studies are needed to confirm its clinical effects.

This review discusses the pharmacological and dermatological uses of Ligustri Lucidi Fructus and its components, such as anti-inflammation, anti-allergy, anti-dermatotumor effects, and hair growth promotion, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that chemical lumbar sympathectomy with 5% phenol effectively treated idiopathic livedo reticularis in most patients, offering a potential long-lasting solution with repeatable efficacy upon recurrence.

This study found that Fructus Ligustri Lucidi water extract significantly increased proliferation in human hair dermal papilla cells, potentially promoting hair growth by activating ERK and Akt pathways.

In this in vitro study, wedelolactone induced selective apoptosis in prostate cancer cells by inhibiting 5-Lox activity, suggesting it may have potential as a treatment for prostate cancer.

This study found that treating Tradescantia stamen hair cells with LiCl disrupts mitotic progression, leading to metaphase arrest, which can be reversed by myo-inositol or CaCl2 addition.

In this study, Fructus Ligustri Lucidi extract was found to promote the proliferation of human hair dermal papilla cells by activating the ERK and Akt pathways.

This study synthesized indole-acenaphthylene compounds using a magnetic nanocatalyst and explored their photoluminescence properties for detecting copper ions in a mixed solvent system, achieving a detection limit of 9.5 ∙ 10 –6 M.

This study identified mefloquine as a potent inducer of lethal ER stress that effectively eliminated vemurafenib-resistant and sensitive melanoma cells, suggesting its potential for repurposing as a melanoma treatment.

Flubendazole in a nanoemulsion can potentially treat lung cancer and cryptococcal meningitis effectively and safely.

In this study, researchers found that an ethyl acetate extract of the green microalga Scenedesmus deserticola significantly increased the viability of human dermal fibroblasts by over 20% compared to a control and identified a potent anti-UV compound, loliolide, through further fractionation.

This study reported that among 10 tested 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole compounds, compound 4c showed the highest activity against cancer cell lines, with a 95.37% average growth rate.

This study found that combining prodigiosin and essential oil from Thuja orientalis leaves showed a synergistic effect against the 3rd larva stage of Cx. pipiens, significantly reducing acetylcholine esterase activity and altering midgut pH, compared to untreated larvae.

The trial helped find the best dose of deuruxolitinib for treating alopecia areata.

This study found that the FER/MLO signaling module plays a crucial role in calcium oscillations and ROS production in root hair tip growth, with the MLO15 protein regulating these processes and restoring disrupted growth and signaling in fer mutant root hairs.

This study reviewed the potential of Lupeol, a natural triterpenoid, in promoting hair growth and reducing inflammation related to alopecia, revealing promising molecular pathways and favorable pharmacokinetics while suggesting further research to validate these findings.

In this first-in-human study, BLZ-100, an intraoperative fluorescent imaging agent, was administered to 21 patients before skin cancer surgery and was found to be well tolerated without serious adverse effects, suggesting its potential to help distinguish cancerous from non-cancerous tissue based on fluorescence.

This study found that aminomethylpyrazole compound 10l inhibited hair growth in a mouse model and showed a low risk for photo-irritation, though it was slightly less effective than eflornithine.

This study found that compound 3, a tetrahydropyridoindole carboxymethylated at position 5, significantly inhibited sorbitol accumulation in both rat eye lenses and tissues affected by diabetes, indicating its potential as a lead compound for ALR2 inhibition.
