This review discusses the role of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in hair follicle development and how natural products that activate this signaling could be used to treat hair loss, but it reports no new experimental results.

This review found that synthetic cosmetics pose risks to human health, potentially causing various diseases, and negatively impact ecosystems, air quality, and oceans from production to waste disposal, highlighting the broad environmental and health consequences of cosmetic use.

This review assesses 191 studies and reports that bananas have numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, cancer-reducing, and antihypertensive properties, while also supporting roles in treating diabetes and depression, highlighting the fruit's potential as both a functional food and medicinal plant.

This study found that salinity stress in Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs may inhibit hair extension through changes in the tip-focused Ca(2+) gradient, while cytosolic pH remains unaffected.

This study used light sheet fluorescence microscopy to successfully image and analyze calcium oscillations in the root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, finding that these oscillations correlate with the root hair growth rate and that auxin affects these properties.

This study discovered that calcium dependent protein kinase 1 (CPK1) directly activates cyclic nucleotide-gated channels 5, 6, and 9, promoting root hair growth in Arabidopsis by regulating Ca²⁺ signaling.

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 reported that derivatization with 5-butylpicolinic acid improved the sensitivity for detecting testosterone and DHT in saliva using LC-ESI-MS/MS, with minimal interference from the saliva matrix.

The researchers reported that nicotinic acid normalized excessive sebaceous lipogenesis without affecting basal lipogenesis and suggested potential anti-acne benefits.

In this study, polymeric micelles containing retinoic acid were found to improve targeted delivery to hair follicle structures in human skin more efficiently than a marketed retinoic acid gel, suggesting potentially safer and more effective acne treatment.

This study found that the cocrystal of mycophenolic acid with isonicotinamide significantly improved solubility and dissolution rate, while two other cocrystals showed decreased performance in these areas.

This study found that the peptide derivative beta-Ala-Pro-Dab-NHbenzyl may reduce wrinkles and sebum production in human skin by inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase 4, suggesting potential for acne and skin inflammation treatment.

This study synthesized and verified the structures of Setipiprant's major and minor metabolites, confirming their regio- and enantioselectivity from earlier proposals in a clinical study.

This chapter discusses the synthesis and analysis of near-infrared fluorescent activity-based probes for imaging cysteine protease activity, reporting potential benefits for disease diagnosis but noting challenges in imaging specific locations with high cathepsin activity.

In this study, the researchers successfully increased dipicolinic acid production in Bacillus subtilis by genetically modifying the spoVF operon, achieving a significant productivity improvement in the culture medium.

This study found that ethyl acetate extract from mangosteen pericarp exhibited the strongest antibacterial effect against Propionibacterium acnes compared to other extraction solvents.

This study identified a new compound from fermented Carica papaya L. with moderate antioxidant and potent hair growth-stimulating activities in vitro.

The researchers reported that protocatechuic acid reduced melanin synthesis and enhanced antioxidant activity in cultured human hair follicle melanocytes, indicating potential for skin whitening applications.

This study found that artocarpin delivered via alginate/chitosan microparticles effectively suppressed the growth of hamster flank organs compared to artocarpin in solution form, without significant systemic effects.

This study found that Resina Pini and its main component, abietic acid, significantly promoted hair growth in a mouse model of androgenic alopecia by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity.

This study suggests that geranyl acetate may offer protective, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective effects against PPD-induced toxicity in keratinocyte cells, indicating its potential as a plant-derived treatment.

In this study, cinnamic acid in solution form showed strong antifungal activity against Microsporum canis, but when incorporated into hydrogels, the acid's diffusion and resulting antifungal performance decreased, though it maintained effectiveness for potential prolonged exposure.

This review summarizes current knowledge on succinic acid's applications in cosmetics and aesthetic dermatology, highlighting its potential benefits such as inflammation modulation and collagen production, although most supporting studies are small or preliminary, indicating a need for further research to validate these uses.

The optimized Cinchonine gel effectively fights acne bacteria and is safe for twice-daily use.

This study investigated autophagy activator ICP5249 and found it promotes hair growth by enhancing cell proliferation and autophagy-related markers in human dermal papilla cells and hair follicles, with AMPKα playing a regulatory role, suggesting its potential as a hair growth ingredient.

This study reported that abietic acid, derived from pine rosin, showed antimicrobial effects and reduced biofilm biomass in laboratory tests against microorganisms like Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, suggesting potential further applications for skin infections.
