This study assessed the therapeutic potential of Eclipta prostrata extracts in antibacterial and antioxidant applications, reporting that fractionated compounds showed enhanced efficacy and higher phenolic content compared to crude extracts, though some fractions also displayed high cytotoxicity, indicating a need for further evaluation.

This study found that the hydromethanolic extract of Carthamus caeruleus L. rhizome demonstrated significantly higher antioxidant and cytotoxic activities compared to the chloroformic extract, particularly against NCI-H460 lung carcinoma cells, suggesting its potential use as a traditional treatment for burns.

This study established a new reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method to accurately and precisely quantify silodosin and dutasteride in mixtures, meeting International Council of Harmonization validation criteria for stability, sensitivity, and recovery.

This source reports that the JOLT technique using HA fillers is effective in lifting and tightening the lower face and neck, camouflaging the jowl, and improving marionette lines and the mandibular border.

This study found that females with chronic diffuse hair loss, including chronic telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss, had significantly lower serum ferritin levels compared to controls, suggesting a strong association between decreased iron stores and hair loss.

This study found that Equisetum arvense, or horsetail, water extracts prepared with polyethylene glycol in an ultrasonic bath yielded the highest levels of phenolic compounds, such as hydroxycinnamic acids and flavonoids, indicating that this method improves the release of biologically active substances.

This study introduced new spectrophotometric methods to estimate Minoxidil in pharmaceutical forms, demonstrating its linearity across various buffers and solvents, and found these methods to be simple, economical, and effective according to ICH guidelines.

In this hospital-based case-control study, researchers at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University found that age, family history of alopecia, and low serum ferritin levels may be significant risk factors for female pattern hair loss among the studied population.

In this study, a clinical trial on a vegan patient with Vitamin B12 deficiency showed that administering Amra Beej Majja Churna over two months increased serum Vitamin B12 levels and alleviated symptoms like hair loss and tingling sensations in the lower limbs.

This study found that vitamin D deficiency was significantly more prevalent among men with androgenetic alopecia in eastern Uttar Pradesh, India, than in age-matched controls, suggesting a potential link between vitamin D levels and the condition's pathogenesis.

This study examined how varying concentrations of kaolin base in mud masks with red pomegranate peel extract influenced properties like viscosity, pH, and drying time, finding that a formulation with 22.5% kaolin performed best in terms of physical characteristics and enzyme inhibition.

The researchers reported that sulfated chitosan-containing sponges can modulate macrophage activity in diabetic wounds, reducing inflammation and promoting angiogenesis and tissue regeneration, which may enhance wound healing outcomes.

This survey study reported the pricing, formulation, and delivery options for compounded topical alopecia medications in the tri-state area, finding varied costs and noting the capability of most pharmacies to exceed commercially available minoxidil concentrations and offer delivery services.

In this study, cinnamic acid was found to enhance hair growth in human dermal papilla cells and hair follicle organoids by activating oxytocin signaling, suggesting its potential for developing hair growth-promoting products.

This study optimized the extraction process for abomasum protein from Tianshan red deer, identifying two proteins with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities, suggesting they could be beneficial in foods and nutraceuticals.

In this study, Avemor, a tonic containing aloe vera and moringa oleifera, along with varying concentrations of dried moringa leaf extracts, was tested on rabbits for hair growth, but the results showed variable effectiveness compared to a minoxidil control.

In this study using rat models, researchers developed a Pluronic@F-127 hydrogel to deliver the flavonoid pectolinarin, finding it accelerates wound healing and reduces scar formation by enhancing cell migration, proliferation, and antioxidant activity.

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 extracts from Cirsium japonicum var. spinossimum seeds are rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, demonstrating significant anti-inflammatory and cell proliferation effects in specific cell models, suggesting potential as a source for anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents.

In this case report, a four-year-old girl was diagnosed with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, manifesting as diffuse alopecia, frontal bossing, hypoplastic teeth, and skin-colored papules, due to a genetic mutation causing resistance to 1.25-dihydroxy vitamin D.

This study found that low ferritin levels are associated with higher telogen ratios in women with diffuse hair loss, suggesting an important role of ferritin in telogen effluvium diagnosis.

This study found that Solanum nigrum L. extracts showed potential as 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, similar to finasteride, and highlighted their promise for treating androgenic diseases like benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern hair loss.

This study developed and validated a precise and rapid HPLC method to simultaneously determine Minoxidil and Finasteride in pharmaceuticals, demonstrating successful application for routine quality control without interference from excipients.
