This randomized, placebo-controlled trial reported that USPlus PRO saw palmetto extract significantly improved lower urinary tract symptoms, including voiding, incomplete emptying, and weak stream, as well as sexual function in males over 12 weeks, while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

This study reported that the expression of sulfotransferase enzymes in hair follicles remained stable during treatment with topical minoxidil, indicating consistent metabolic activity throughout the treatment period.

This study found that treating hair with ATS, formed from fumaric acid and cysteamine, effectively improved hair quality by increasing moisture content and altering the internal structure of strong curls.

This study found that oral sulfasalazine led to varying hair regrowth outcomes in patients with persistent alopecia areata, with 56.3% showing moderate to good responses.

This study used nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry to locate where calcium and copper are concentrated in colored hair, finding these metals particularly in the cuticle's sulfur-rich regions.

This study suggests that finasteride-loaded polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan microspheres could be a promising embolic agent for benign prostatic hyperplasia, showing effective occlusion and sustained drug release in preclinical models.

This case report proposes that Post-Finasteride Syndrome might be sustained by specific microbes in the small intestine affecting hormone excretion and mitochondrial function, warranting further investigation in a larger cohort.

In this study, a superoxide dismutase gel prevented hair graying in mice exposed to photosensitization, suggesting that antioxidants can protect against oxidative damage involved in hair aging.

This study found that steroid sulfatase in the dermal papilla of hair follicles metabolizes dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate to support the development of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting potential for steroid sulfatase inhibitors as treatments.

This study found that hydrogen peroxide accumulation and reduced methionine sulfoxide repair play a significant role in the oxidative damage linked to senile hair graying.

This study found that xylanase and pectinase enzymes clean wool and specialty hair fibers as effectively as soap, without causing physical damage, whereas resinase was not effective.
