March 2026 in “The Aging Male” This retrospective pharmacovigilance study reviewed adverse event reports from 2004 to 2025 for drugs treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, identifying distinct safety signals for α1-blockers, 5ARIs, and PDE5I, including some potential new adverse events that require further investigation.
January 2025 in “International Journal of Research and Innovation in Applied Science” This study aimed to enhance the skin penetration of minoxidil by encapsulating it in glycerosomal vesicles, offering a potential improvement in transdermal drug delivery for treating androgenetic alopecia. Results of the investigation were not reported.
November 2024 in “Pharmaceutics” This study found that dutasteride-loaded transfersomes, compared to traditional liposomes, better target hair follicles by releasing the drug in a more controlled manner, as shown in vitro with enhanced follicular targeting (Tf = 0.32 versus 0.15, p < 0.005) using porcine ear skin.
October 2024 in “Cosmetics” This study found that while most women reported aesthetic improvement after PRP facial injections, objective skin analyzer data showed no significant changes, but midface volume improvement was more likely in those with lower platelet counts and higher estradiol levels.
September 2024 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study found that quercetin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles demonstrated positive protective effects on human hair against UV-B light, as they controlled microscopic surface roughness, reduced chemical changes, and minimized protein loss in vitro compared to other treatments.
May 2023 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This prospective randomized controlled trial found that combining platelet-rich plasma plus basic fibroblast growth factor injections with topical minoxidil significantly improves hair count and growth rate in androgenetic alopecia patients compared to either treatment alone.
This study found that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata symptoms in both ex vivo human hair follicles and in vivo mouse models, challenging the view that alopecia areata is solely CD8+ T cell-driven.
This study found that in early retinal neurogenesis in mice, the transcription factor Lhx2 regulates Sonic Hedgehog signaling by controlling expression of pathway genes like the co-receptors Gas1 and Cdon.
This study found that the Arabidopsis cation chloride cotransporter CCC1 is critical for regulating pH in the trans-Golgi network/early endosome, impacting plant growth and stress response.
