This review discusses the cosmetic use and safety of Hypericum Perforatum Extract and Oil, finding that current data are insufficient to support their safety in formulations due to a lack of comprehensive testing.

This study found that a composition including Serenoa repens extract and anti-inflammatory agents effectively suppressed inflammation-related gene expression in a keratinocyte model, suggesting a potential dual strategy for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This review highlights the potential of aromatic plants as natural antioxidants in cosmeceuticals, which may combat skin aging and promote rejuvenation by counteracting oxidative stress, offering a natural alternative to synthetic products with benefits like photoprotection and anti-wrinkle effects.

This review discusses the potential of nanotechnology-based formulations for delivering topical minoxidil to improve hair loss treatment outcomes and reports no new clinical results, urging further research into their benefits and safety considerations.

This review found that while topical minoxidil is effective for treating female pattern hair loss, finasteride showed no more effectiveness than placebo, and low-level laser therapy increased hair count but with inconsistent results.

This study found that abietic acid from pine resin more effectively inhibits testosterone 5α-reductase than several plant extracts, suggesting potential for treating androgen-dependent diseases.

This study found that using a ruby laser for hair removal resulted in a significant average reduction of 56.4% in hair density among participants dissatisfied with other methods.

This study found that telomere shortening disrupts BMP/pSmad/P63 signaling, leading to skin atrophy via Follistatin up-regulation, and suggests potential therapeutic targets.

The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.

This study found that the methanolic heartwood extract of Avicennia marina significantly inhibits 5α-reductase type 1, reducing 5α-DHT production by 52% in a cell-based assay with human hair dermal papilla cells.

This study found that bovine lactoferrin promotes hair growth in mice by enhancing dermal papilla cell proliferation through the Erk/Akt and Wnt signaling pathways.

This study found that exposure to finasteride impaired spermatogenesis in male Xenopus laevis by affecting sex-specific feedback mechanisms in the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis.

This study concludes that phospholipid–polymer hybrid nanoparticles may be an effective delivery system for quercetin in treating androgenic alopecia by improving hair regrowth and preventing hair follicle cell apoptosis in rat models.

This review indicates that many former FDA category D and X systemic dermatologic medications may negatively impact male fertility, with further research needed to assess potential teratogenic effects.

This study found that petroleum ether extracts of Citrullus colocynthis reduced hair growth initiation time and advanced more hair follicles to the anagen phase in albino rats compared to untreated controls and minoxidil.

This review discusses challenges in managing cutaneous drug reactions to anticonvulsants and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the complexity of discontinuing or rechallenging suspected agents.

This study found that manipulating AKR1D1 expression in human liver cells effectively regulates glucocorticoid clearance and receptor activation, highlighting its role in liver-specific steroid hormone regulation.

This study found that adapalene-loaded nanospheres in a hyaluronic acid gel enhanced skin penetration and were nonirritant, making them potentially suitable for treating acne on oily skin.

In this case report, a 46-year-old woman with familial frontal fibrosis alopecia experienced initial stabilization of hair loss with dutasteride and minoxidil, but artificial hair transplantation led to implant folliculitis, requiring removal of the fibers.

This study found that Avicennia marina extract significantly inhibited 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human hair dermal papilla cells, suggesting its potential use for treating androgenic alopecia.

This study found that lipid nanocarriers called squarticles, conjugated with an antibody, enhanced minoxidil uptake in dermal papilla cells, potentially improving alopecia treatments.

This review discusses the cosmetic potential of Southeast Asian herbs and highlights the need for more systematic scientific evaluation of their efficacy and safety.

This study found that elevated carbon dioxide levels may help mitigate water deficit stress in soybean roots by altering gene expression related to stress and nutrient transport.

This review discusses the role of inheritance, androgens, and microinflammation in androgenetic alopecia and suggests some plant-based folk remedies may help address these factors but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the less common CAG-rs4045402 and GGN-rs3138869 polymorphisms were more frequent in patients with post-finasteride syndrome and androgenetic alopecia, suggesting a genetic predisposition to AGA development.

This case report describes a 27-year-old man hospitalized with fatigue, myalgias, weakness, profound weight loss, and abnormal liver function, leading to a diagnosis after chest imaging revealed pneumomediastinum.

This case report illustrates the risk of skin necrosis in patients with high antiphospholipid antibody levels after stopping anticoagulation therapy, highlighting the necessity for careful monitoring.

This review presents current evidence on medicinal plants and their phytoconstituents, such as phenolic compounds, used in acne treatment, highlighting their potential as alternatives to conventional therapies due to issues like antibiotic resistance and high cost.

This study found that a phytosomal delivery system improved the bioavailability of Cuscuta reflexa extract compared to the plain extract, suggesting enhanced potential for this formulation.

This study developed and validated a label-free assay using LC-MS to screen for S5αR inhibitors, identifying Thai herbal extracts, Impatiens balsamina L. and Curcuma longa L., as promising sources.
