January 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This quiz article provides a series of dermatological diagnosis questions based on a Journal of Investigative Dermatology article and includes explanations but reports no original research findings.
January 2018 in “Elsevier eBooks” This article discusses the hypothalamus-pituitary-testis axis in androgen production and spermatogenesis but presents no new research findings.
January 2018 in “Refubium (Universitätsbibliothek der Freien Universität Berlin)” This thesis developed stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, demonstrating their potential for targeted genetic material delivery with reduced toxicity and diagnostic applications, and explored pH-sensitive nanogels for effective skin drug delivery and monitoring.
July 2016 in “Cancer research” This study found that mutant cells in hair follicles can be tolerated or eliminated by surrounding normal tissue, suggesting the potential for wild-type cells to counteract oncogenic mutations.
This review discusses the potential of using sustained release systems to increase the effectiveness and reduce side effects of 17-alpha-estradiol in alopecia treatment and reports no clinical results.
This study developed nanoparticulate systems for caffeine delivery in hair follicles, demonstrating effective caffeine loading and release, as well as successful imaging within model hair follicles.
This study reported that the HG3 formulation of a Ketoconazole anti-dandruff gel exhibited superior drug release and antifungal efficacy without causing skin irritation, compared to other formulations tested.
The man's scalp tightness after hair surgery affects his life and work, and it's unclear if it's due to the surgery or a mental health issue.
November 2010 in “Clin-Alert” Monitoring for adverse effects in clinical treatments is crucial.
October 2010 in “Epilepsy Currents” This study found that inhibitory neurosteroids synthesized within glial cells can reduce seizure frequency in epileptic animals by enhancing inhibitory transmission via γ-aminobutyric acid receptors.
September 2008 in “Fertility and Sterility” This study found that infertile couples who perceive themselves as having high intimacy report better subjective health, particularly in fulfilling social responsibilities and maintaining physical fitness.
October 2005 in “CRC Press eBooks” Telogen effluvium is a condition where hair falls out due to various factors like illness, stress, or nutrient deficiency.
June 2002 in “Surgery (oxford)” This review discusses the post-burn deformities seen after healing from acute burns and emphasizes the need for integrated, multidisciplinary management to prevent these sequelae; it reports no new clinical results.
October 1988 in “Pediatric research” In this study, researchers observed that the sequence of maturity markers in normal boys showed specific time lags, with some markers appearing before and others after spermarche.
May 2026 in “Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics” In this study, researchers developed and tested a novel peptide, AMHR2BP, which mimics the function of Anti-Müllerian hormone to protect ovarian follicles in mice, showing promise for preserving ovarian health during chemotherapy without causing toxicity.
November 2022 in “Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research” In this study, the researchers developed a cellulose-based hydrogel that provides sustained drug release with improved bioavailability and stability over time.
August 2022 in “Theriogenology” This study found that allopregnanolone has a bimodal effect on prolactin secretion in sheep, stimulating PRL mRNA expression but inhibiting hormone release under stress and pregnancy conditions.
January 2021 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study found that coated microneedles promoted drug release effectively, comparable to marketed minoxidil solutions, with stable performance over 30 days at high temperatures.
