This study found that the novel alcohol-free topical foam CG2001, combining minoxidil and finasteride, was safe and well-tolerated in Chinese males with androgenetic alopecia, with significantly lower systemic exposure to finasteride compared to oral administration, potentially reducing sexual side effects.

In this phase I study, CG2001, a topical foam combining minoxidil and finasteride, was found to be safe and well-tolerated in Chinese males with androgenetic alopecia, showing significantly reduced systemic finasteride exposure compared to oral administration, potentially reducing related side effects.

This study established reference values for nine fertility hormones important in diagnosing and monitoring PCOS in Pakistani and other subcontinent populations.

This case study reports that a 16-year-old girl with hirsutism and menstrual irregularities was diagnosed with a benign steroid cell ovarian tumor, after high testosterone levels indicated a potential androgen-secreting source.

This report presents a rare case of suspected 3β HSD deficiency in an adult female with symptoms like male pattern hair loss and low testosterone, suggesting a non-classical presentation.

This case report describes a rare presentation of myxedema coma in a 46-year-old woman, initially identified by acute pulmonary embolism, which was managed successfully with thyroid hormone and corticosteroid treatment.

The researchers found that plant extracts from Papaver rhoeas L., Clitoria ternatea L., and Carthamus tinctorius L. are effective natural cosmetic dyes, offering intense and stable colors without cytotoxicity.

This review suggests that the Mediterranean diet, protein-rich diets, and soy may support hair health in nonscarring alopecias like androgenetic alopecia.

This study suggests that bio-nanovesicles, such as exosomes and microvesicles, may enhance skin and hair follicle regeneration by modulating key signaling pathways, potentially overcoming the limitations of conventional treatments for alopecia and chronic skin diseases.

In this study, researchers found that high-shine and straight-aligned hair are perceived as more youthful, healthy, and attractive by women across various countries, with alignment having a stronger impact than shine.

In this study, oral broccoli sprouts intake did not affect plasma androgen levels in males, while alfalfa sprouts intake increased testosterone and DHT levels, which may help prevent male late onset hypogonadism.

This study found that plasma 3 alpha-diol glucuronide was markedly elevated in women with idiopathic hirsutism, suggesting it may be a marker of peripheral androgen action.

This study found that combined Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol therapy improved metabolic and hormonal parameters, including weight, hormone levels, and skin conditions, in women with PCOS after 6 months.

This study found that among older men, lower calculated free testosterone was significantly associated with a higher risk of heart failure, suggesting a possible role of testosterone deficiency in heart failure incidence.

This study developed a multifunctional core-shell fiber dressing that preserves platelet-rich plasma for 180 days, facilitating sustained growth factor release and improved wound healing.

This study reports that women with hair loss had significantly lower levels of several biomarkers, including hemoglobin, iron, copper, selenium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, and thyroid hormones, compared to healthy controls.

This study found that NKB placental mRNA expression was higher in women with PCOS, particularly in pregnancies with female offspring, suggesting its involvement in PCOS-related placental dysfunction.

This study found that metformin's effect on reducing prolactin levels is less pronounced in women with PCOS compared to control subjects, likely due to higher endogenous testosterone levels, despite improvements in insulin sensitivity in both groups after six months of treatment.

This study found that Cerasus serrulata extracts, when obtained through specific methods, demonstrate significant antioxidative and antibacterial properties, as well as potential anti-alopecia effects in a mouse model, potentially making them useful supplements for these purposes.

This study found that lipid accumulation product (LAP) and free androgen index (FAI) can highly predict liver steatosis in women with PCOS phenotype A.

This review highlights that current in vitro models often fail to replicate the physiological oxygen levels experienced by different skin cell types, which could affect redox states and functions, potentially accelerating skin aging.

This study evaluated Humulus lupulus (hops) extract in cosmetic formulations and found it to maintain antioxidant and anti-irritant properties, reducing erythema by 10% after three weeks of use, supporting its potential for skin health improvement in plant-based cosmetics.

This study found that peroxide-rich plasma-activated water caused minimal morphological damage to hair, while nitrate-rich plasma-activated water induced significant damage, especially in porous hair types.

In this literature review, researchers compiled evidence on repurposed synthetic radioprotective agents, including metformin and simvastatin, that have demonstrated potential in mitigating the side effects of radiotherapy in cancer treatment.

This study suggests that using cell-free dexamethasone-primed stem cell media may offer a promising alternative treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus, showing immunomodulatory benefits and therapeutic efficacy in reducing various complications.

In a real-world registry study, ripretinib showed effectiveness with a median progression-free survival of 7.70 months and a tolerable safety profile in Chinese patients using it as a fourth-line treatment for advanced GIST, particularly benefiting those with non-gastric tumors.

The study found that patients over 70 with advanced ovarian cancer may have better overall and progression-free survival with weekly paclitaxel-carboplatin chemotherapy compared to a three-weekly regimen, despite increased blood-related toxicities.
