This study suggests that finasteride may reduce the aggressiveness and invasion of prostate tumors, with effects potentially differing based on the androgen responsiveness of the patient's prostate cells.

This study found that Gelatinase A activity is linked to the absence of type VII collagen during human fetal skin development, indicating its role in remodeling the basement membrane zone.

This study found that 6-Gingerol significantly suppressed hair growth in mice by reducing hair follicle number and length, potentially through increased expression of MMP2 and MMP9.

This study found that 6-Gingerol significantly suppressed hair growth in mice by interfering with the hair cycle and altering growth factor concentrations.

This study suggests that in hidradenitis suppurativa, MMP-induced matrix alterations may contribute to inflammation by releasing active peptides and inflammatory factors in the extracellular matrix.

This study found that cytokine and EGF stimulation leads to increased MMP-9 production in hair follicles, a process involved in hair follicle involution associated with alopecia.

This study found that Datura metel extracts obtained through supercritical CO2 extraction demonstrated significant biological activity, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and effectively promoted wound closure and collagen preservation, comparable to standard treatments, in laboratory experiments.

This animal study found that Prunus armeniaca L. seed oil improved inflammatory markers, oxidative stress levels, and skin structure in DNFB-induced seborrheic dermatitis in rats, suggesting its potential role in managing this condition.

This study found no significant association between the MMP-1 gene polymorphisms rs1799750 and androgenetic alopecia in the sample population.

This study found that Yiqi Huayu Chinese medicine may inhibit benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats by reducing MMP-2 levels and vessel renewal, with effects comparable to finasteride.

In this study, thymosin beta4 was found to stimulate hair growth in normal rats and mice by affecting key processes in the hair follicle cycle, such as stem cell migration and extracellular matrix remodeling.

In this cell study, Eclipta alba extract inhibited cancer cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, showing potential antiproliferative and anti-metastasis effects on liver and related cancer cell lines.

In this study, prolonged systemic administration of 17β-estradiol in castrated male mice delayed wound healing by inhibiting re-epithelialization and reducing collagen accumulation, with estrogen receptor-α likely mediating this effect.

This study suggests that type IV collagenases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, play important roles in the hair cycle by regulating the expression of VEGF, IGF-1, and TGF-β in mice.

This study found that adipose‐derived stem cells can restore skin barrier function and inhibit photoaging-related responses in UVB-irradiated mice, suggesting a potential therapeutic role in managing skin photoaging.

In this animal study, ginsenoside Rb1 demonstrated therapeutic effects on hypertrophic scar remodeling, with the highest efficacy observed at a dose of 0.56 mg.

In this study, researchers found that psoriasis patients with untreated lesions showed increased activation of defensins, matrix metalloproteinases, and neuropeptides, which may be stimulated by specific inflammation pathways.

In this study on wound healing, sulfated glycosaminoglycans from sturgeon cartilage enhanced fibroblast cell proliferation, migration, and collagen deposition, significantly accelerating wound closure and promoting re-epithelialization in both in vitro and in vivo tests.

This review discusses the potential of ginseng and its metabolites for treating hair loss and reports no new clinical findings.

This study used a novel fluorescent tagging method in mice to observe collagen IV dynamics during hair follicle development, revealing that alterations in basement membrane turnover can influence epithelial progenitor cell behavior and organ morphology by affecting cell proliferation and movement.

This study identified altered expression of MMP-19 in the skin's epidermal layers during diseases like psoriasis and eczema, implying a role in disease processes.

This study reported that a novel liposomal formulation, SP-bFGF-SF-LIP, enhanced bFGF stability and skin permeability, significantly improving hair follicle recovery and wound healing in a mouse model.

This study found that the type IV collagenases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, play significant roles in the hair cycle, potentially through their influence on VEGF, IGF-1, and TGF-β expression.

In this study, the researchers observed that MMP-2 and MMP-9 significantly fluctuated with the hair growth cycle in mice, suggesting their important role in hair development.

This study suggests that thymosin beta 4 may regulate hair growth by influencing VEGF and MMP-2 levels through the Wnt/β-catenin/Lef-1 signaling pathway in mouse models.

This study concludes that egg shell membrane hydrolysates, particularly Fraction I, may effectively mitigate UV-B radiation-induced wrinkles and promote skin collagen and hyaluronic acid production, suggesting potential use in functional cosmetics.

This review discusses the roles and mechanisms of thymosin β4 in hair follicle growth and development but reports no new experimental findings; the authors emphasize the need for further research on its molecular pathways.

This study found that single-dose x-ray irradiation in rat calvaria skin led to morphological changes in collagen fibers, disorganization, and a temporary absence of sebaceous glands and hair follicles.

Scalp dermal papilla and fibrous sheath cells have different MMP expression than scalp dermal fibroblasts.

In this study, researchers used a murine model of irritant contact dermatitis to reveal that hair follicle regions serve as key sites for neutrophil transepidermal migration, which requires MMP-9 expression stimulated by dermal monocytes.
