This study concluded that a new model of reconstructed human epidermis using keratinocytes from plucked hair follicles offers a less-invasive alternative to conventional skin-derived models for skin research.

This review discusses advancements in skin microphysiological systems, such as 3D bioprinting, skin organoids, and skin-on-a-chip, and their effectiveness in emulating human skin functions for research and preclinical applications, highlighting the potential for replacing animal testing with these innovative technologies.

The researchers reported that the rat Hershberger assay reliably detected endocrine-disrupting effects of finasteride, procymidone, and 17α-methyltestosterone, validating the assay's sensitivity for identifying hormonal activity.

This study demonstrated that aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of Catharanthus roseus and Schwenckia americana showed no acute oral toxicity at the tested dose in rats, although histological changes in kidney and liver tissues were observed.

This study found that rice bran supercritical CO₂ extract was classified as a non-irritant for ocular use but a moderate irritant for dermal use in rabbits and guinea pigs.

In this study, data from the FAERS database indicated varied associations between certain medications and obstructive sleep apnea, with some biologics associated with a decreased risk of developing the condition.

The researchers described a chip-based bioreactor platform for dynamic perfusion, which may enhance in vitro skin models by introducing mechanical shear stress and extending culture periods.

This article discusses the potential of RNA-based biopesticides for sustainable agriculture and reports no new experimental results; it highlights the need for improved delivery systems and regulatory development to enhance deployment.

This study suggests that the patchy thickening and reddish discoloration in rabbit skin during the hair cycle may be due to large anagen-phase hair follicles compressing the dermis and increased blood vessels causing redness.

This study found that a combination of curcumin and piperine demonstrated moderate antioxidant activity, negligible cytotoxicity, and significant potential for promoting hair regrowth in rat models of alopecia, suggesting it could be a safe and effective natural alternative for managing hair loss.

The study introduced an advanced skin model, ImmuSkin-MT, which effectively distinguished between different strengths of skin sensitizers by mimicking the interaction of immune cells in skin tissue.

In this animal study, hibiscus leaf simplicia ointment was found to protect red blood cell levels and promote better hair growth in UV-exposed rats, though it did not maintain normal skin histology; the ointment showed no significant acute dermal toxicity.

This review discusses recent advances in skin penetration mechanisms, specifically focusing on the enhanced understanding of the follicular pathway and its implications for transdermal therapies, immune system targeting, and nanoparticle safety.

This article provides guidelines for molecular genetic testing of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, focusing on quality requirements, methodologies, and variant classification; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, polymeric micelles containing retinoic acid were found to improve targeted delivery to hair follicle structures in human skin more efficiently than a marketed retinoic acid gel, suggesting potentially safer and more effective acne treatment.

This study found that adapalene-loaded solid lipid microparticles may enhance targeted drug delivery into sebum due to their similarity to sebum components, although both this formulation and a standard cream showed equivalent follicular penetration.

In this study, researchers developed a new self-administered finasteride delivery system using powder-carrying microneedles that improved hair growth efficacy and addressed safety concerns compared to topical finasteride gel by allowing sustained intradermal release of the drug for three days with a single application.

This study found that 3% peppermint oil significantly enhanced hair growth in C57BL/6 mice, showing increased dermal thickness, follicle number, and follicle depth compared to other treatments.

This study found that spironolactone reduced fish fecundity and caused masculinization of females at certain concentrations, while having no effect on Daphnia magna reproduction, underscoring concerns for environmental exposure to vertebrates.

This study found that Ganoderma lucidum extracts reduced prostate enlargement and improved symptoms in testosterone-treated rats, suggesting potential benefits for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This review discusses AR-modulating agents developed between 2012 and 2018, highlighting challenges with ligand-binding domain antagonists and proposing nonconventional approaches targeting other domains as promising strategies.

This study found that the HPCH-based formulation P-08–016 may facilitate finasteride deposition in the dermis, potentially offering an alternative to systemic therapy by minimizing systemic absorption.

This article presents a model for evaluating public R&D that emphasizes measuring capacity-based metrics over traditional outcome-based metrics, using the concept of a Knowledge Value Collective.

This review discusses the potential of nanotechnology-based formulations for delivering topical minoxidil to improve hair loss treatment outcomes and reports no new clinical results, urging further research into their benefits and safety considerations.

This study found that ethanolic leaves extract of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. exhibited strong antioxidant activity and enhanced wound healing properties in mice, showing reasonable safety in toxicological evaluations without severe alterations.

This study found that Teucrium polium L. subsp. geyrii Maire extract demonstrated a large safety margin in acute and subacute toxicity tests on mice and significantly enhanced wound healing in rats, especially with callus extract, by improving cell proliferation and wound contraction.

This study found that the alcoholic extract of Eclipta alba exhibited dose-dependent antianaphylactic effects in animal models, possibly due to membrane stabilization and reduced histamine release.

This study found that lavender oil significantly promoted hair growth in female C57BL/6 mice by increasing hair follicle number, depth, and dermal thickness, while reducing mast cell numbers.

The EFSA panel concluded that coriander seed oil is safe for use as a novel food ingredient at the proposed intake levels for healthy adults.

This review discusses the ethnobotanical uses and phytochemistry of Plumbago zeylanica L., highlighting its potential pharmacological benefits for conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, but reports no new experimental findings.
