This study reports that telogen effluvium, a reversible hair loss condition following COVID-19, is influenced by factors like stress and inflammation, but appropriate dermatological treatment can aid recovery, as highlighted by a clinical case example.

This paper reviews extraction methods for obtaining polysaccharides from brown macroalgae like Sargassum, highlighting their antiviral, antimicrobial, and antitumoral bioactivities in both in vivo and in vitro studies, while also discussing challenges in research and commercialization of Sargassum-based products.

This study found that both a proprietary ultrahigh-pressure extract and a hexanic extract of saw palmetto showed comparable inhibition of 5α-reductase, suggesting similar potential for managing symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

In this study, researchers aimed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of low-dose oral minoxidil in adolescents, as existing data on its use in this population are limited and there are no specific pediatric guidelines for prescribing it. Results are not reported.

This pilot study suggests that platelet-rich plasma may be a promising treatment for chronic telogen effluvium with good safety, and cost-effective preparation methods may be reliable alternatives to more expensive ones.

This study analyzed the affinity, stability, and pharmacokinetics of compounds from Sansevieria trifasciata, reporting that three compounds showed promising molecular docking results against the androgen receptor and satisfactory pharmacokinetic profiles, similar to minoxidil, in an in-silico setting.

This study found significant associations between polycystic ovary syndrome and increased serum levels of reproductive hormones, as well as connections to infertility, hirsutism, and metabolic syndrome in Yemeni women.

This review discusses the efficacy of the lipidosterolic extract of Serenoa repens for treating lower urinary tract symptoms and reports no new clinical results; the authors propose further examination of the existing literature and guidelines.

This study suggests that nanoliposomes encapsulating saw palmetto CO2 extract could be effective for delivering drugs to treat hair loss due to their small size, dispersion, and negative charge.

In this study, hyperplastic layers of scabietic sheep skin showed expansive keratin labeling, indicating altered keratin expression compared to healthy skin.

In this study, researchers found that taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana supplements for five days altered the urinary steroid profile in a way that may interfere with the steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport.

This analysis discusses the role of genetic factors, particularly male hormones and specific gene variants, in influencing sex differences and potential susceptibility to severe COVID-19 outcomes, but notes that conclusive evidence is lacking, highlighting the need for larger studies.

This study reports that a new multi-slit knife for hair transplant procedures reduces surgical time and increases precision by enabling quick creation of equidistant "brick-pattern" sagittal slits.

This study demonstrated that the antiandrogen drug enzalutamide may reduce TMPRSS2 levels in human lung cells and mouse lungs, supporting its potential as a COVID-19 treatment option.

The document describes a method for preparing hair for microscopy by embedding it in plastic, cutting it, and storing it cold before imaging.

In this study, sarolaner administered orally proved effective in treating demodectic mange in a naturally infested cat in Brazil, as no mites were observed and skin condition improved after 21 days.

This study found that under optimized extraction conditions, the Gleditschia fera fruit extract contained a high level of saponins and demonstrated notable antioxidant activity.

This article describes the growth and characteristics of saw palmetto and its fruit but reports no new research results.

This study examined the follicular unit density in the scalp and beard donor areas of Indian men undergoing hair restoration surgery, reporting mean densities of 78.2/cm² and 49.7/cm² respectively, and proposed guidelines for safe follicular unit extraction.

This study found that a combination extract of pandanus and sansevieria leaves at a 3:2 ratio showed better hair growth activity than either extract alone.

This study reviewed previous research and found that while mesotherapy appears to improve outcomes in treating androgenetic alopecia without significant adverse effects, the supporting studies were of poor quality, and further research is necessary to confirm its efficacy and safety.

Saponin astragaloside from Astragalus membranaceus Bunge effectively enhances eyebrow growth.

This study found that topical BPM31543 was safe, tolerable, and showed potential to reduce chemotherapy-induced alopecia at higher dosing levels among adult women with cancer receiving taxane-based chemotherapy.

This study found that dutasteride was more effective than finasteride in increasing total and thick hair count and reducing thin hair count in men with AGA, with both drugs having similar side effect profiles.

This study found that the dietary supplement RJ-SP4AGA significantly improved hair growth and reduced hair loss in post-menopausal women with androgenetic alopecia over 16 weeks.

This study found that a novel saw palmetto supercritical CO2 extract effectively inhibits 5α-reductase type II in vitro, suggesting its potential for promoting prostate health in benign prostatic hyperplasia.

In this study, GTx-027, a selective androgen receptor modulator, significantly inhibited tumor growth in certain breast cancer models and showed good tolerance in a Phase II trial with postmenopausal women.

This article discusses Serenoa repens (Saw palmetto) for preventing and treating androgenic alopecia, highlighting its phytosterols' role and lack of side effects but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that, in mouse ear epidermal stem cells, a cell-autonomous size control mechanism involving the RB pathway dictates S phase entry timing based on cell size, despite external environmental variations affecting growth rates.
