This narrative review highlights innovations in regenerative medicine and longevity research within plastic surgery, emphasizing biological, ethical, and regulatory aspects. The study underscores the potential to extend healthspans while balancing these advances with ethical considerations and safety.

A woman's hyperandrogenism was caused by a genetic mutation leading to non-classic adrenogenital syndrome.

This study examined the stability of two 5α-reductase inhibitors in Tectona grandis extracts, finding that they are more stable in acidic environments and degrade rapidly under heat and light unless protected, suggesting the need for careful storage when developing anti-hair loss medications.

This article reviews advanced strategies for enhancing drug delivery to cutaneous stem cells to improve treatment for skin conditions and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that using monoolein cubic phase nanoparticles with an entrapped hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin/minoxidil complex increased minoxidil skin permeation, but minoxidil retention in the skin was higher with a traditional solution.

This study found that ethanol-containing formulations significantly increased minoxidil retention in the stratum corneum and appendages initially, while a propylene glycol-rich formulation enhanced deeper skin penetration over time.

This study found that using curated biomedical databases as training examples for information extraction tasks in Genome-Wide Association Studies can outperform cost-insensitive methods, demonstrating their potential use without expert annotation.

This study found that the combined ethanolic extract ethosome formulation of Phyllanthus niruri, Zingiber officianale, and Croton tiglium Linné showed better safety and less cytotoxicity for hair growth promotion compared to the petroleum ether formulations.

This study found that mEGF ethosomal delivery systems mainly penetrated mice skin through the pilosebaceous unit and successfully induced hair follicles to transition from the telogen to anagen phase.

This study found that Cuscuta reflexa extracts promoted hair regrowth and follicular proliferation in cyclophosphamide-induced hair loss in male rats.

In this study, researchers found that punch grafting was more effective than follicular hair transplantation for treating stable vitiligo; however, follicular hair transplantation was found to be cosmetically preferable for exposed areas like the face due to fewer side effects.

This study assessed minoxidil solubility in propylene glycol and water mixtures, comparing cosolvency models and examining thermodynamic properties, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that platycodon ethanol extract showed potential as a natural ingredient for hair loss prevention by increasing radical scavenging ability, inhibiting inflammation, and affecting DHT generation in laboratory experiments.

This review discusses the potential of using human hair proteomics for non-invasive diagnostic and forensic applications but reports no new results; the authors highlight areas needing further research.

This study suggests that chest, arm, leg, and beard hair samples may be viable alternatives to scalp hair for monitoring long-term alcohol intake, although body hair is more typically collected from men.

This study focused on developing a nanoemulsion-based gel for delivering minoxidil, aiming to enhance its contact time with the scalp and potentially improve skin absorption compared to conventional topical solutions.

This study developed a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method to detect sex hormones in health supplements from Hanoi, Vietnam, finding three out of 16 samples contained sex hormones, including banned testosterone at low levels (~0.5 mg/kg).

This study observed that dandruff in Indian women is associated with a distinct scalp microbiome, including specific bacterial and unknown Malassezia species, with implications for nutrient homeostasis and cell-host adhesion pathways.

This study found that both a high dose of CPA and GnRHa are effective for treating hirsutism in hyperandrogenic women, but GnRHa with add-back therapy may lead to a longer remission period.

This review compiles information on traditional uses, phytoconstituents, and biological activities of Eclipta prostrata but reports no new experimental results; the authors call for more studies to understand its pharmacological mechanisms.

This study suggests that the testosterone analogs 7α-Methyltestosterone and 7α-Ethyltestosterone may offer promising androgenic, progestogenic, and anabolic properties for development as male contraceptives.

This study found that an optimized microemulsion for minoxidil with high solubility, permeation flux, and skin deposition can be achieved with specific low and high levels of certain surfactants and co-solvents.

This study found that excipients significantly influence the effectiveness of curcumin nanocrystals in dermal applications, enhancing or hindering hair follicle targeting and passive diffusion based on their selection.

This study found that penetration enhancer-containing vesicles significantly improved minoxidil delivery to the skin compared to traditional liposomes and penetration enhancer-containing ethanolic solutions, with deformability linked to enhanced deposition.

This study found that flutamide at 250 mg daily modestly improved hair thinning in premenopausal women with hyperandrogenic alopecia over one year, while cyproterone acetate and finasteride were not effective.

This review discusses developments in oral contraceptives, highlighting improved individualization, reduced side effects, and enhanced suitability for various women's health needs, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that finasteride, cyproterone acetate, and flutamide were similarly effective at reducing hirsutism in women, though they acted through different mechanisms.

This study found that papain/bisulfite disintegrates human hair cuticles by dissolving the endocuticle, potentially accelerated by ethanol's removal of cell membrane material.

This study found that the EtOAc extract of Tridax procumbens aerial parts significantly inhibited rat paw edema and COX enzyme activity, suggesting its potential anti-inflammatory properties.

This review examines androgen status in male and female obesity and its influence on the metabolic syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.
