January 2021 in “Acta Cirurgica Brasileira” The study investigated the impact of dutasteride and finasteride on renal morphology in male rats over 40 days. Both drugs caused significant increases in serum urea and creatinine levels, indicating renal damage. Kidney weights, volumes, and the number of glomeruli per kidney were notably reduced, with dutasteride causing more severe effects than finasteride. Dutasteride led to a 51.6% reduction in glomeruli, while finasteride caused a 26.8% reduction. The study concluded that both drugs caused morphological and functional kidney damage, with dutasteride having a more pronounced impact. These findings suggested the need for careful consideration of renal function when prescribing these medications, especially for patients with a history of renal disease.

The study investigates cell population dynamics in wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN) in mice, using flow cytometry to analyze changes in various cell types at different time points post-wounding. Key findings include the dominance of non-immune dermal cells, an increase in epidermal cells from day 9 post-wounding, and the persistence of monocytes and neutrophils beyond the inflammatory phase. Most T cells in wounds were CD8+ and expressed γδTCR. The study provides a timeline for further research on cell subpopulations in WIHN, potentially aiding in strategies to reduce scarring and enhance hair follicle regeneration.
