research Inhibition of Skin 5α-Reductase by Oral Contraceptive Progestins In Vitro
Norgestimate is the most effective birth control progestin for reducing an enzyme linked to acne and excessive hair growth in women.
research Action of Topical Minoxidil in the Bald Stump-Tailed Macaque
Minoxidil promotes hair growth but stops working when discontinued.
research Clinical and Biological Impact of the Exposome on the Skin
Environmental factors, hormones, nutrition, and stress all significantly affect skin health and aging.
research Critical Analysis on Characterization, Systemic Effect, and Therapeutic Potential of Beta-Sitosterol: A Plant-Derived Orphan Phytosterol
Beta-sitosterol has potential health benefits but needs more research to fully understand its effects and improve its use in treatments.
research Regenerative Hair Waves in Aging Mice and Extra-Follicular Modulators Follistatin, Dkk1, and Sfrp4
Aging mice have slower hair regeneration due to changes in signal balance, but the environment, not stem cell loss, controls this, suggesting treatments could focus on environmental factors.
