This review discusses the repurposing of natural products for COVID-19 treatment but reports no new clinical findings, highlighting ongoing research to target host and viral mechanisms.

In laboratory settings, this study found that finasteride repurposed as a quorum sensing inhibitor significantly reduced virulence factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including biofilm formation by 45% and pyocyanin production by 49%, suggesting potential for treating infections.

This review highlights phytochemicals, particularly flavonoids and phenolics, as potential supportive treatments for SARS-CoV-2 by interfering with viral proteins and providing anti-inflammatory effects; it suggests a foundation for future therapeutic and vaccine development efforts.

This study found that protease nexin-1 mRNA is expressed in human dermal papilla cells and is downregulated by dihydrotestosterone in balding scalp, suggesting a role in male-pattern baldness progression.

This review discusses targeting host cell proteases as a novel approach to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting transcriptional modulation and enzymatic inhibition as promising therapeutic strategies, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the alcoholic extract of Eclipta alba exhibited dose-dependent antianaphylactic effects in animal models, possibly due to membrane stabilization and reduced histamine release.

In this study, researchers used in silico mutagenesis to identify key calcium-binding sites influencing the stability of Rand protease from Bacillus subtilis, potentially enhancing its application in industries like leather dehairing by improving stability and eliminating the need for additional metal ions during the process.

This study found that Ldh activity in hair follicle stem cell-mediated squamous cell carcinoma is not necessary for tumorigenesis, as its modulation did not affect the cancer's development or characteristics.

This study found that Puerariae Flos extract inhibited testosterone 5α-reductase and promoted hair growth in mouse models, suggesting its potential use for treating androgenic alopecia.

This study reports that compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the HEPHL1 gene in a child were associated with abnormal hair and cognitive issues, linking altered ferroxidase activity to hair disorders.

This study found that pregnane derivatives with higher lipophilicity, like compound 9d, had stronger androgen receptor binding and greater antiandrogenic effects in rats, correlating relative binding affinity with log P values.

This study found that dutasteride more effectively inhibited androgen receptor signaling and reduced cell growth compared to finasteride in prostate cancer cell models, with varying sensitivities across different cell lines.

This study found that finasteride has selective effects on oxidative stress and acetylcholinesterase activity in different brain regions in rats with thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy.

This study found that NKIRAS2 expression affects skin tumor suppression and HRAS-driven transformation in mice, indicating its role in carcinogenesis depends on expression level and cellular context.

This study found that human chymase overexpression in transgenic mice may contribute to increased mortality from LPS treatment compared to wild-type mice.

This study found that 2MbisP increases epidermal thickening more rapidly than atRA in rhino mice, while both compounds similarly reduce utricle size.

This study observed that topical application of maslinic acid stimulated hair growth in mice comparably to minoxidil, possibly through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and involving ciliary gene activity, highlighting increased levels of trichogenic gene expression and protein levels.

Protease Nexin-1 is found in human hair growth cells and is affected by male hormones.

This review highlights that while moderate physical activity benefits skin health by improving circulation and reducing stress, intense exercise or inadequate protective measures can harm the skin, emphasizing the need for sun protection and personalized care.

In this study, Typhonium flagelliforme leaf-ethanolic extract combined with natural interferon was observed to stabilize body weight, inhibit tumor growth, and reduce mitosis, angiogenesis, and certain protein expressions in carcinogen-induced tumors in female mice, suggesting potential antitumor effects.

This study found that a 50% ethanolic extract of Adiantum capillus had significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in animals, particularly at the highest tested dose of 300 mg/kg.

In this review, researchers evaluated 111 studies on the biological activities and phytochemical components of the plant Tridax procumbens, emphasizing its ethnobotanical potential and the need for more research to understand its therapeutic benefits, especially in its native tropical regions.

This study found that in mice, inactivating beta-catenin in the dermal papilla reduces hair follicle progenitor proliferation and disrupts the hair cycle.

This study found that glycolytic metabolism and lactate production are crucial for hair follicle stem cell activation, and manipulating these processes can stimulate the hair cycle.

This study found that c-Jun is essential for vitamin D receptor expression, and the vitamin D receptor inhibits c-Jun-dependent cell death through non-classical mechanisms independent of vitamin D3.

This review explores recent insights into how intrinsic gene oscillations and molecular interactions in hair follicle stem cells contribute to their regenerative potential, with potential implications for regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that synthetic carbohydrate receptors effectively inhibit Zika virus infection in cell cultures by blocking early stages of viral entry.

This study found that patients with acne vulgaris had significantly lower serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity compared to healthy controls, suggesting that oxidative stress might play a role in the condition's development.

This study found that cathepsin L deficiency in mice led to significant abnormalities in hair follicle development and cycling, including disrupted hair shaft outgrowth and premature hair growth phase entry.

In this review, researchers examined the physiological benefits of Cheonggukjang, a salt-free fermented soybean paste, highlighting its various health-promoting components that may contribute to improved heart health, diabetes management, and cancer prevention, among other benefits.
