October 2021 in “Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” In this study on cultured human dermal papilla cells, researchers found that niacinamide may enhance hair growth by reducing oxidative stress-induced cell senescence and delaying catagen entry, suggesting potential applications against hair loss.
February 2024 in “Indian Journal of Chemistry” In this study, researchers synthesized nine new nicotinamide derivative compounds and found that one, identified as N4, exhibited significant cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 breast cancer cells, while other derivatives demonstrated notable antibacterial, antifungal, and antibiofilm activities.
August 2019 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study developed the CATNIP computational model, which uses biological and chemical information to successfully identify drug repurposing opportunities for various conditions, including Parkinson’s disease and Type 2 Diabetes.

June 2024 in “Frontiers in Genetics” This review examined genetic factors in 46, XY differences/disorders of sex development and found that whole-exome sequencing is more effective than panel sequencing for molecular diagnosis. It identified regional genetic variation and emphasized next-generation sequencing's role in detecting variants related to gonadal and androgen-related genes.
May 2011 in “Utrecht University Repository (Utrecht University)” This study found no statistically significant difference in the severity of insect bite hypersensitivity symptoms between horses receiving a nicotinamide supplement and those receiving a placebo.
41 citations

November 2005 in “Journal of Clinical Pathology” This study found that CD1d is strongly expressed in human scalp skin and hair follicles, particularly in the anagen phase, suggesting a role in scalp immunology and potential implications for hair disorder treatment.
This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.
This case study documents a 55-year-old male with advanced NSCLC who experienced toe-predominant paronychia and a papulopustular rash following dacomitinib treatment, with the causality tools indicating a "probable" link, yet the therapy continued successfully without dosage alteration.
