This study found that the natural polymer-based hydrogel Gel/SA@PL released growth factors in a controlled way, which enhanced tissue regeneration and minimized scarring in the healing of diabetic wounds.

This study used a zebrafish model and advanced mass spectrometry to identify 11 metabolites of epristeride, revealing significant effects on purine metabolism and aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, which may aid in developing anti-doping detection methods.

Panax notoginseng may help with oral ulcers and hair growth.

This study reported that a new formulation of finasteride solid lipid nanoparticles, combined with LPC and NTC, enhanced hair growth in mice without visible skin reactions, suggesting it could effectively manage androgenetic alopecia.

Smart microneedles using advanced tech could improve psoriasis treatment.

This source discusses using stratum corneum ablation as a promising method to enhance transdermal drug delivery by temporarily removing the skin's outermost barrier to improve medication absorption.

This study found that two eco-friendly analytical methods for quantifying Finasteride and Tadalafil in a new dosage form were effective, green, and suitable for quality control.

This study identified three novel genetic loci associated with PCOS and found similar genetic architecture across different diagnostic criteria, with evidence suggesting genetic links between PCOS and various metabolic and psychological traits.

In this study, researchers developed a niosomal gel system for transdermal delivery of testosterone, reporting strong penetrative capability, good spreadability, and a promising in vitro drug release profile, suggesting it may be an effective alternative for reducing the side effects of steroid treatments.

This study found no significant differences in cleaning agent residue removal from hair follicles among different wiping methods, suggesting the agent remains despite removal attempts.

This study reported that imaging characteristics of sebaceous nevus vary significantly by age group, revealing dynamic developmental changes that can be effectively identified through dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy, offering noninvasive diagnostic potential.

This study found that autologous nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may help some newly-onset type 1 diabetes patients become insulin-free, although gastrointestinal and other mild side effects were observed.

This article discusses the importance of routine karyotyping in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, as it may reveal the presence of Turner syndrome and recommends early diagnosis and treatment; it reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights the effectiveness of medicinal plants in treating symptoms of hair disorders, emphasizing their antifungal and antioxidant properties as supported by 23 selected studies.

This study reviewed literature on using vegetable oils to prevent skin aging, highlighting their antioxidant properties and their role in combating free radicals, which leads to extrinsic aging, while also noting Brazil's important contribution to this field with its rich natural resources.

This source describes clascoterone, a new topical treatment for acne vulgaris that blocks androgen receptors to reduce sebaceous gland activity and inflammation, offering a lower risk of systemic side effects compared to oral treatments.

This review concluded that low-dose oral minoxidil is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for male androgenetic alopecia, with significant hair density improvements and manageable side effects.

In this narrative review, the authors highlighted that AI-supported electronic health record analysis could help recognize Polycystic Ovary Syndrome/Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome earlier, but also warned that these systems might perpetuate historical biases if not properly validated and interpreted.

This study found that topical eflornithine effectively reduces facial hair growth in women with hirsutism, showing improved outcomes when used alone or with laser and IPL therapies.

This review outlines that minoxidil (topical and oral) and 5α-reductase inhibitors are the most effective treatments for androgenetic alopecia, with additional therapies like platelet-rich plasma and hair transplantation enhancing results, emphasizing the need for individualized, combination approaches.

This review identified emerging therapies for androgenetic alopecia, such as low-dose oral minoxidil and stem cell-based treatments, which show promise for improved hair loss management but require standardized protocols and large-scale trials for further validation.

This narrative review assesses evidence on the role of oral supplements in reducing common side effects caused by isotretinoin treatment for acne vulgaris, with the aim of providing guidance for enhancing treatment tolerability.

This study systematically reviewed dermatological conditions affecting transgender and gender-diverse individuals, highlighting that testosterone therapy can induce acne in 25–88% of transgender men and alopecia after over two years, while dermatologic care must consider both medical and social complexities.

This study concluded that alcohol and tobacco products harm the skin by disrupting microcirculation, impairing the epidermal barrier, slowing wound healing, and accelerating the aging process.

This review highlights that while pharmacotherapy, including biological agents, provides varying but often partial control of hidradenitis suppurativa depending on disease severity, significant challenges and high relapse rates persist, necessitating further research for more effective treatments.

This review found that dutasteride is more effective than finasteride in increasing hair count and shaft thickness for androgenetic alopecia in men, with potential for reduced systemic side effects through mesotherapy, although further research is needed on long-term safety and dosage.

This study found that low-dose oral minoxidil (≤5 mg/day) effectively increased hair number and diameter in men and women with androgenetic alopecia, and was generally well-tolerated with mostly mild adverse effects, although serious complications were rare and associated mainly with pre-existing heart conditions.
