This policy brief highlights that post-drug syndromes remain under-recognized in pharmacovigilance, leading to inadequate risk assessments and patient care. It identifies systemic failures in current frameworks and recommends actions to improve long-term drug safety monitoring and education, affecting public health outcomes significantly.

This study found that the cocrystal of mycophenolic acid with isonicotinamide significantly improved solubility and dissolution rate, while two other cocrystals showed decreased performance in these areas.

This study reports a case of a 59-year-old female with refractory follicular mucinosis and diffuse scalp alopecia who achieved complete clinical remission following treatment with a combination of topical tacalcitol and photodynamic therapy.

This case report describes the first use of laser capture microdissection to confirm that atypical lymphocytes in a folliculotropic mycosis fungoides case involving the central nervous system were part of the same tumor clone.

This prospective study in Morocco reported on 20 cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding that dermoscopy played a key role in diagnosing and managing the condition, which can increasingly affect premenopausal women.

PP405 may help hair growth by activating hair follicle stem cells.

This study observed that Polygoni mulitiflori Radix water extracts accelerated hair regrowth in mice by enhancing enzyme activities and increasing IGF-1 gene expression related to hair growth.

In this retrospective study of patients with advanced Merkel cell carcinoma responding to immunotherapy, those treated for 18 months or longer showed better progression-free outcomes compared to shorter treatment durations, indicating potential benefits of extended therapy duration.

This review of facial feminization surgery literature suggests it is generally safe and satisfactory for patients, though more research is needed to establish best practices and quality-of-life outcomes.

This study introduces the MHS Hair Restoration Protocol, a systems-biology model targeting hair follicle health through the gut-microbiome-endocannabinoidome axis and innovative topical treatments, emphasizing a holistic approach to pattern hair loss.

This study found that a hair tonic formulation containing 1.5% light fraction patchouli oil demonstrated strong antifungal activity against Malassezia globosa and promoted hair growth in rabbits, suggesting potential benefits for hair care despite the need for human clinical trials to confirm safety and effectiveness.

In these aquatic laboratory studies, researchers found that Finasteride reduced dihydrotestosterone levels in fathead minnows and increased gene expression related to androgen pathways in both minnows and medaka, indicating potential conservation of pharmaceutical effects on androgen biosynthesis across different species.

Once-daily 5% minoxidil foam increases hair regrowth and density in women with hair loss, but not as effectively as twice-daily 2% minoxidil solution, though it's safer and more convenient.

This study found that MPZL3 plays a crucial role in controlling sebaceous gland size and sebocyte proliferation in mice and humans, implicating its potential involvement in skin disorders like acne and psoriasis.

This study reported that prompt diagnosis and treatment with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and topical immunomodulators are key to mitigating the effects of frontal fibrosing alopecia and preventing permanent hair loss.

The micropunctiform technique for hair restoration is safe, simple, and creates a natural hairline.

In this study, researchers discovered that the MafB gene, which is important for macrophage differentiation, shows high expression in the pancreas and is influenced by sex steroids, with varied expression patterns in hamster tissues and during reproductive phases.

In this observational study, patients with androgenic alopecia or hair loss related to COVID-19 showed more significant hair regrowth when treated with combined pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and photobiostimulation therapy compared to photobiostimulation therapy alone, with a statistically significant increase in hair count.

This review discusses the mechanisms associated with protoporphyrin IX in living cells and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize its potential in cancer diagnosis and the risks of toxicity.

This study found that Pomiferin may effectively stimulate extracellular matrix protein expression in skin and scalp models, with results comparable to retinol, suggesting potential as a topical treatment ingredient.

In this study, Norwegian researchers followed over 350 patients with porphyria cutanea tarda for an average of 7 years and found that 25% experienced biochemical relapse, suggesting the importance of routine follow-up for early detection and management.

This study suggests that macrophages play a more substantial role in the pathogenesis of Lichen planopilaris compared to Frontal fibrosing alopecia, as indicated by increased CD68+ cells in Lichen planopilaris.

This study observed that Platycarya strobilacea S. et Z. extract enhanced hair growth and improved hair follicle length and immune response in mice compared to control groups.

Recent Phase III trials reported that once daily 5% minoxidil foam significantly increased hair count in women with female pattern hair loss and was shown to be as effective as twice daily 2% minoxidil solution.

This study suggests that PDGFA and BMP2 play a role in the hair follicle cycle in cashmere goats, with PDGFA particularly involved in activating the growth phase.

This study found that PSAT1 is a key regulator of cellular survival and regenerative capacity in cashmere goat hair follicle stem cells, highlighting its role in the SHF cycle and its potential as a target to boost cashmere fiber production.

This study observed that ECMs produced by papillary fibroblasts showed the largest fibers and supported keratinocyte differentiation better than reticular fibroblast matrices, informing biomimetic material design for skin tissue engineering.

This study found that Substance P increased mitochondrial activity and biogenesis markers in cultured human scalp hair follicles, suggesting a novel link between stress-related neuropeptide signaling and hair follicle mitochondrial responses.

In this study, PMC was identified as a promising plant for nourishing hair, with effective hair growth promotion and 5α-reductase inhibition observed in both laboratory and animal studies for androgenetic alopecia treatment.

This study found that subcutaneous injection of medroxyprogesterone acetate was more effective than intramuscular or topical treatments in reducing hair diameter for hirsute females.
