This study found that laccase-assisted grafting of poly(tyrosine) onto wool materials improved shrinkage resistance and mechanical properties while causing minor decreases in crystallinity and thermal resistance, suggesting a potential "green" approach to enhance wool durability.

This case study reports a new variant of chronic dermatophytosis with giant cutaneous horns, suggesting a possible genetic link and highlighting successful treatment with antifungal medications.

The researchers reported that both finasteride and PM-9 competitively inhibit the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme in P. crustosum broth.

This study found that Monascus cursory extraction reduced baldness, prostate hyperplasia, and tumor incidence in animal models of androgen-related diseases, suggesting it may be a promising new therapeutic candidate.
