Finasteride may help prevent prostate cancer.

This study found that expression of certain mutant keratin genes in mice led to severe alopecia, suggesting a similar mechanism could cause hair loss in humans.

This study reported that heterozygosity for FHIT affects mice's susceptibility to spontaneous alopecia areata and to certain preneoplastic lesions induced by benzo[a]pyrene, but does not change how they respond to budesonide and N-acetyl-L-cysteine.

Higher hair levels of calcium and magnesium are linked to higher body weight, while lower levels are linked to worse metabolic health.

This study found that testosterone combined with progesterone stimulated digging behavior in ovariectomized rabbits but also reduced food intake, an effect partially counteracted by progesterone.

This study found that estazolam improved PTSD-like behavior deficits in an animal model, which was linked to increased allopregnanolone levels in specific brain regions.

The authors reported that V-Y-S plasty was a safe one-stage method for reconstructing very large scalp alopecia following burns or surgeries.

This study introduces a new device for measuring changes in hair stiffness and lubricity, which can help predict the effects of various hair treatments.

This study found that progesterone significantly delayed epileptogenesis development in a mouse model, and its effects were inhibited by finasteride, highlighting the potential role of neurosteroids in modifying epilepsy progression.

This review explores the similarities between wound healing, palatogenesis, and orofacial clefting, suggesting these processes share common pathways and genetic regulatory mechanisms, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that the ethyl acetate extract of Fagraea berteroana fruits and its fraction FEAE-F0 promoted cell proliferation and modulated gene expression in hair follicle cells, suggesting potential for hair growth stimulation.

This review discusses three decades of progress in feather development, regeneration, and evolution, with no new experimental results; it highlights feathers' potential as a model for morphogenesis studies.

This review discusses how macro-environmental factors such as intradermal adipose tissue and sex hormones influence hair and feather stem cell niches, suggesting environmental targets for regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that nano-sized lipid particles improved the skin accumulation and retention of dexamethasone compared to a base cream, suggesting potential benefits for inflammatory skin disease treatment.

This study found that injecting a mixture of epidermal stem cells and dermal papilla cells can induce hair follicle regeneration and well-ordered epidermis formation in mice.

This study found that the methylation level at CpG III site 4 of the KRT17 gene promoter significantly influences wool production in Angora rabbits, suggesting its potential as an epigenetic marker for breeding high wool yield.

In this study, researchers observed that exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields enhanced hair follicle regeneration and formation of hair follicle-like structures in bioengineered skin in nude mice.

This study investigated the Mandarin duck as a model for understanding lifelong developmental changes, finding that male sail feather morphogenesis involves a combination of local morphogenetic programs, epigenetic regulation, and hormonal cues, with increased female estrogen levels observed before the mating season.

This thesis explored how stratum corneum barrier disruption and pH-sensitive nanoparticles influence drug penetration and release in skin models, highlighting potential applications for treating atopic dermatitis.

This study found that in children undergoing minimally invasive pyeloplasty, failure to regularly reposition the head during surgery and a head compression duration over 3.5 hours significantly increased the risk of developing pressure alopecia, highlighting the need for improving intraoperative head positioning and protective measures.

This case report documented the successful treatment of a 61-year-old male's persistent alopecia areata with acupuncture therapy, showing significant improvement within 2 months and complete resolution in 9 months, underscoring acupuncture's potential role in managing long-standing alopecia without drugs.

This review highlights emerging evidence that chemotherapy-induced alopecia may be driven by immune mechanisms similar to alopecia areata, involving hair follicle immune privilege collapse, and evaluates Janus kinase inhibitors as potential treatments, while cautioning about their immunosuppressive risks in cancer patients.

This study reported that a novel nanomedicine combining berberine and sinapic acid significantly inhibited the growth of mouse mammary carcinoma cells and demonstrated an anti-tumor effect in vivo, without significant systemic toxicity after 28 days, suggesting a promising, low-toxicity therapeutic strategy for breast cancer.

This study found that oral administration of Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide reduced tumor volume and improved survival in mice by modulating macrophage polarization and enhancing antitumor immune responses.

This study reports that carbamazepine can self-assemble into stable channel structures without guest polymers, while griseofulvin relies on guest molecules for structural stability in drug-polymer inclusion complexes.

This study investigated the molecular mechanisms behind the formation of drug-polymer inclusion complexes and found that carbamazepine can self-assemble into stable channel structures without guest polymers, unlike griseofulvin, which requires guest molecules for structural stability.

This research elucidates the molecular mechanisms underlying carbamazepine and griseofulvin's inclusion complex channel formations with polymers, revealing why carbamazepine forms stable channels independently, while griseofulvin requires polymeric support due to weaker interactions.

This study found that rabbit hair follicle stem cells, combined with electro-spun nano silk fibers, successfully constructed a tissue-engineered urethra, suggesting potential for future in vivo repair studies.

In this study, researchers detailed how hair follicles regenerate after microsurgical amputation, observing a wound reaction involving dynamic dermal-epidermal interactions and changes in extracellular matrix components.

This review establishes a tolerable upper intake level of 255 μg/day for selenium in adults, warning that supplements and Brazil nuts may cause excess intake.
