In this study, a novel electrochemical sensor using a molecularly imprinted polymer was developed for the sensitive detection of minoxidil, successfully measuring its concentration in real samples.

In this study, patients with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia who received platelet-rich plasma injections with microneedling showed improvements in hair growth and thickness, as well as high satisfaction, over a three-month period compared to conventional therapy non-responders.

This study found that transdermal testosterone significantly increased the frequency of satisfactory sexual events in women experiencing SSRI/SNRI-related loss of libido, but did not improve overall sexual self-rating scores.

This review suggested that low-level light therapy using red/near-infrared light could be a safe and effective treatment for various skin and hair conditions, though more robust trials are needed to solidify its clinical utility.
