This study found that hair samples from children with kwashiorkor or marasmic kwashiorkor had about 20% less cystine compared to one child with adequate protein nutrition, suggesting the need for further research.

This study developed a method for extracting proteins from micro-sized human head hairs, facilitating proteomic analysis even with limited hair sample availability.

This study observed that combining hair dyeing with sodium hydroxide relaxers drastically increased protein loss in Caucasian virgin dark brown hair, while ammonium thioglycolate or guanidine hydroxide relaxers caused less damage.

This review discusses the benefits and cardiovascular risks of androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer patients, noting that optimizing cardiovascular risk factors is important when using ADT.

In this study, optical coherence tomography was used to produce 3D images of human hair, revealing that after chemical treatment with ammonium thioglycolate, the main hair structures were not identifiable due to damage.

In this study, novel substituted benzoyl benzoic acids and phenylacetic acids were potent and selective inhibitors of human steroid 5alpha-reductase type 2, with one compound showing promising bioavailability in rats for potential clinical evaluation.

This study found that serum prolactin and dehydroepiandrosterone levels did not determine the onset of mink hair growth cycles, though their metabolites may influence other aspects of hair growth.

This study found that topical application of N,N-dimethylglycine sodium salt increased dermal blood flow and velocity in human subjects, likely through its effects on endothelial cells and NO-dependent vasodilation.

This study found that keratin-based particles were able to recover and enhance the mechanical properties and thermal stability of virgin and overbleached Asian hair, improving its strength and smoothness by around 40%, and demonstrated safety in human skin keratinocytes.

This study found that acellular dermal matrix scaffolds may facilitate full-thickness skin wound healing by promoting a pro-regenerative immune response through M2 macrophage polarization via the Lamtor1 pathway.

This study assessed the antioxidant properties and contents of carotenoids and chlorophylls in 10 plant oils, finding fenugreek seed oil to be highest in carotenoids and pomegranate oil most active against free radicals, highlighting their potential as natural materials with antioxidant benefits.

In this study, researchers found that people with Parkinson's disease showed higher levels of inflammasome proteins, including caspase-1, ASC, and IL-18, compared to healthy individuals, suggesting these proteins as reliable biomarkers for inflammation in PD.

In this study, vitiligo and alopecia areata were more common among patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease than previously reported, linked to higher NIH skin scores and greater immunosuppressive treatment.

This study suggests that any baldness, particularly moderate balding, is associated with a higher risk of fatal prostate cancer in men, supporting a possible link between hair loss and prostate cancer mechanisms.

Acankoreoside J from Acanthopanax koreanum may help promote hair growth.

This review summarizes recent advancements in steroidal 5α-reductase inhibitors for benign prostatic hyperplasia and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses common skin disorders in older women and their treatments, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that young women with female-pattern hair loss exhibit increased testosterone production rates while dihydrotestosterone production rates remain within or below the normal range.

This study observed that local injection of minoxidil effectively prevented Ara-C-induced alopecia in newborn rats, while topical application was ineffective.

This study explored the potential of silk fibroin methacrylate hydrogel microneedles to deliver α-MSH directly to the epidermis in vitiligo patients, enhancing melanocyte protection and melanosome transfer, potentially offering a new treatment avenue for this challenging condition.

This review examines the role of red cell distribution width and its association with iron metabolism and other factors in diagnosing and monitoring various anemic and non-anemic conditions, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study found that differences in cashmere fiber diameter in Tibetan cashmere goats are associated with variations in metabolic, hypoxic, and stress response-related proteins, offering insights for breeding strategies.

This study found that genetically variant peptides from human hair can reliably identify individuals despite differences in age and storage conditions, provided environmental and processing factors are controlled.

This study found that in newborn rats, progesterone's effects on apnoea frequency are influenced by a sex-specific balance between its metabolite allopregnanolone and progesterone receptors.

This study found that metformin is inversely associated with serum PSA levels in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting further research is needed on its potential impact on prostate cancer progression.

In this study, PEG and keratin scaffolds selectively influenced protein release rates based on charge and size, suggesting their potential for targeted delivery of protein therapeutics.

This study found that in newborn rats treated with caffeine, progesterone increased apnoea frequency by inhibiting breathing, suggesting it may not be suitable for preterm neonates without addressing allopregnanolone's effects.

This study observed that men with vertex androgenetic alopecia at age 40 had a higher risk of early-onset prostate cancer, suggesting a potential link between the conditions.

This study found that coactivating LIN28B and follistatin enhances cochlear supporting cells' ability to regenerate hair cells in neonatal mice by reprogramming them into progenitor-like cells.

This review discusses the dual role of the TMPRSS2 gene in coronaviral lung infection and prostate cancer, cautioning against TMPRSS2 inhibitors for early prostate cancer due to potential pro-inflammatory effects.
