In this study, a new pH-responsive hydrogel composed of polyvinyl alcohol and boric acid was found to release salvianolic acid B effectively, reducing excessive scar formation and enhancing tissue regeneration during early-stage wound healing.

This review found that women with idiopathic hirsutism may have increased 5α-reductase activity, as indicated by elevated levels of a dihydrotestosterone-reduced metabolite, but more research is needed to confirm its clinical relevance as a biomarker.

This study identified several compounds from traditional Chinese medicines that may inhibit prostaglandin D2 synthase, potentially providing promising candidates for treating androgenic alopecia with minimal adverse skin reactions.

This article discusses Serenoa repens for androgenetic alopecia and reports no strong evidence of its effectiveness, emphasizing the need for larger clinical trials.

This study found that human liver dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase (DHEA ST) catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of minoxidil, indicating another pathway contributing to its metabolism in humans.

This study demonstrates that Puerariae Lobatae Radix may regulate skin lipid metabolism by inhibiting sebaceous gland growth and reducing triglyceride secretion, highlighting its therapeutic potential for sebaceous gland-related conditions.

In this study, among postmenopausal women with female androgenetic alopecia, the combination of Pygeum africanum and Serenoa repens extracts at higher doses plus MSM significantly increased total hair growth and hair resistance compared to a lower dose formulation after 16 weeks.

This study found that sebaceous glands predominantly exhibit oxidative activity of the type 2 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isozyme, which is not inhibited by 13-cis retinoic acid.

This review discusses the therapeutic potential of costunolide for various diseases, highlighting its bioactivity and mechanisms, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study found that Ocimum basilicum L. showed the highest 5α-reductase inhibitory activity among ten Thai plants, despite no correlation between enzyme inhibition and total phenolic content.

This study found that topical application of Russelia equisetiformis methanol extract significantly increased hair growth in albino Wistar rats, potentially due to its triterpene and flavonoid content.

This study found that sulforaphane may help alleviate hair loss by increasing hair count after 18 weeks of use and enhancing the expression of a DHT-degrading enzyme in cellular models.

This review explores the potential of selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors to improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes, emphasizing the need for more clinical research and reports no new clinical results.

This study reports the development of novel 4-amido-Δ4,6-steroids as potential inhibitors of 5α-reductase, showing promising in vitro results for conditions like acne and benign prostatic cancer.

This study found that the leaf extract of Tectona grandis and its major bioactive constituents moderately inhibit the 5α-reductase enzyme, which is linked to androgenetic alopecia, and also possess anti-inflammatory properties, showing promise as dual-action candidates for managing this condition.

In this study, fraction No. 3 of Oryza sativa bran extract demonstrated high unsaturated fatty acid content and significant 5α-reductase inhibition, suggesting potential for developing anti-androgenic alopecia products.

This review examines sulforaphane's interactions with hormone-mediated health conditions, focusing on gender-specific health issues, but reports no new original research findings.

This study found that sandalwood oil, like 3% minoxidil, significantly promoted hair growth and maintained the anagen phase in a C57BL/6 mouse model of alopecia.

This tool was developed to enhance reproducibility and sensitivity in measuring partial hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients, particularly those undergoing JAK inhibitor therapy, using scalp photographs.

This study by Gao et al. reports that two nonsteroidal selective androgen receptor modulators, S1 and S4, demonstrated tissue-selective actions in rats, suppressing prostate growth while maintaining muscle growth without altering hormone levels.

This study found that ethanol and water extracts of Albizia saponaria bark significantly stimulated hair growth in male rabbits over 24 days.

This study highlights the declining availability of Indian Sandalwood due to overharvesting and spike disease and emphasizes the importance of suitable host plant selection for its cultivation.

In this study, high-dose dutasteride significantly reduced several core symptoms of PMDD compared to placebo, supporting the role of neurosteroids in this condition.

This study found that certain curcumin analogs derived from natural plant sources exhibit anti-androgen activity by inhibiting steroid 5-alpha reductase, identifying key structural features for their potency and safety in treating androgen-related conditions.

In this study, broccoli sprout extract and sulforaphane were found to reduce cell viability, suppress growth, and induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells, and oral broccoli sprout extract inhibited tumor growth in animal models, suggesting it may be effective in managing breast cancer.

This study conducted an in silico evaluation and found that berberine displayed better binding interactions with the 5α-reductase enzyme and TGF-β2 compared to minoxidil, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, the researchers optimized the extraction conditions for crude polysaccharide from Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaves, achieving a yield of 9.66% and demonstrated strong antioxidant activities in vitro.

This study found that red light exposure significantly enhanced the growth, phytochemical content, and therapeutic potential of Eclipta alba callus cultures compared to other multispectral light exposures.
