The researchers reported that DHT may reduce the inflammatory responses induced by C. acnes in androgen-sensitive human sebocyte cells, suggesting a potential link between androgens and infection in sebaceous disorders.

This study demonstrated that human hair shafts can inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria but have no effect on Gram-negative bacterial growth, offering insights into hair and scalp health.

This study found that zinc oxide and fucoidan-loaded chitosan nanofiber scaffolds may enhance wound healing and provide antibacterial protection against common surgical pathogens in vitro.

The new chitosan dressing heals wounds better and faster than current products.

This study found that testosterone and its metabolite DHT reduced macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of bacteria like MRSA and P. aeruginosa in vitro, and blocking testosterone's conversion to DHT improved bacterial clearance, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for combating wound infections in the elderly.

This study found that biliverdin beta and delta, metabolites of heme, play a critical role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa iron acquisition and cooperative behaviors, which are crucial for the bacterium's long-term infection in cystic fibrosis patients, suggesting potential targets for new therapies.

This study found that multimetal starvation by the immune protein calprotectin triggers unique regulatory responses in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, beyond those seen with individual metal shortages.

This study found that tannin effectively inhibits and degrades mono-species and polymicrobial biofilms, making it a potential candidate for antibiofilm treatments.

In this study, PEVIII, a nanocomposite chitosan-coated vesicle containing both α-hederin and hederacoside C, demonstrated notable antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a keratitis model, showing significant lesion reduction, tissue improvement, and decreased bacterial load and inflammatory markers compared to other treatments.

This study reported that abietic acid, derived from pine rosin, showed antimicrobial effects and reduced biofilm biomass in laboratory tests against microorganisms like Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, suggesting potential further applications for skin infections.

This study examined the antibacterial activity of Sansevieria trifasciata Prain. extracts and its ethyl acetate fractions, finding that both the extract and 40% fraction significantly inhibited bacterial growth, showing potential akin to ciprofloxacin in inhibiting S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa.

This study reported that zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized using Tridax procumbens leaf extract demonstrated significant antibacterial and anticancer activity, showing potential for applications in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields.

In this study, solid lipid microparticles loaded with lidocaine hydrochloride were developed to effectively deliver pain relief and antimicrobial benefits for wound management, demonstrated by testing with bioengineered skin substitutes and showing effectiveness against common wound-infecting bacteria.

The hydrogel helps heal seawater-immersed wounds by reducing infection and inflammation.

This study found that oil extracts from the plants Hedyotis corymbosa, Inula racemose, and Holostemma adakodien demonstrated significant antibacterial and antifungal activity in vitro compared to standard antibiotics and antifungals.

This study found that compounds from Ziziphus spina-christi roots exhibited promising antibacterial and antioxidant activities, supporting its traditional medicinal use.

This study found that a combination of 5% hexane extract of Curcuma aeruginosa and 5% minoxidil slowed hair loss and increased hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that a high sesquiterpene C. aeruginosa extract significantly reduced axillary hair growth in women compared to placebo with no apparent adverse effects.

In this study, germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa showed anti-androgenic effects by inhibiting 5α-reductase, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for treating androgen-dependent disorders.

In this study, applying 1% or 5% Curcuma aeruginosa essential oil lotion to the underarm for 10 weeks significantly slowed hair growth and brightened skin in young women, with no adverse effects reported.

This study found that co-applying Curcuma aeruginosa extract or essential oil with minoxidil significantly increased minoxidil's skin penetration in an ex vivo setting, suggesting an improved topical treatment strategy for androgenic alopecia with greater efficacy and the potential for lower minoxidil doses.

This study found that antiandrogenic compounds in Curcuma aeruginosa, including germacrone, degrade rapidly at high temperatures but are more stable when solubilized in PEG-40.

This study reported that the PrrH sRNA in *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* may directly regulate genes involved in pyochelin siderophore biosynthesis, highlighting its role in adapting to heme availability, with light conditions influencing this gene expression.

This study identified the genes for pyochelin siderophore biosynthesis as a novel target regulated by the heme-responsive PrrH sRNA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This study found that 660 nm laser treatment and povidone iodine both eradicated Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in mice wounds, with the laser enhancing healing, and the combination provided additive or synergistic healing benefits.

In this case report, a 46-year-old man developed scalp necrosis with infection following FUE hair transplantation, possibly due to factors like smoking, long surgery duration, dense grafting, and secondary infection. Early recognition and treatment prevented further tissue loss, but the patient had residual scarring.

In this study, researchers used pumpkin aqueous extract to create iron nanoparticles, finding them effective at inhibiting harmful bacteria found in burn and wound infections, as well as promoting burn healing and hair growth in a laboratory mouse model.

This study found that a high-sesquiterpene extract from Curcuma aeruginosa slowed axillary hair growth in women by 22% compared to placebo over 12 weeks, with results delayed by 6 weeks, and participants reported satisfaction without adverse effects.

This study found that the pH-sensitive hydrogel HECHA13, containing isoliquiritigenin, effectively inhibited the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and showed promise for transdermal delivery in acne treatment.

This study observed that hair follicles in hair loss patients had increased levels of Propionibacterium acnes, potentially linked to elevated immune response gene expression in miniaturized hair follicles.
