This study explored Black Sea shark liver oil-based emulgels, finding that the addition of borage oil (Gel 2) enhanced the anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties compared to shark liver oil alone (Gel 1) and a reference diclofenac gel, suggesting promising eco-friendly applications in dermatocosmetics.

This study developed a method for extracting proteins from micro-sized human head hairs, facilitating proteomic analysis even with limited hair sample availability.

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 Cerasus serrulata extracts, when obtained through specific methods, demonstrate significant antioxidative and antibacterial properties, as well as potential anti-alopecia effects in a mouse model, potentially making them useful supplements for these purposes.

This study defined menstrual phase-specific reference intervals for circulating androgen levels in young women, highlighting that anovulatory females showed higher androgen, LH, and FSH levels compared to ovulatory females.

This study reported that Juniperus sabina needle extract showed significant anti-butyrylcholinesterase activity, suggesting potential medicinal value due to high podophyllotoxin levels.

This review highlights the need for standardized reporting on fucoidan extract properties to better understand the relationships between chemical structures and bioactivities, and to improve the quality and utility of fucoidan-related data.

In this study, researchers investigated GAGs from the marine invertebrate Microcosmus exasperatus, finding that its polysaccharides possess antitumoral properties without affecting anticoagulant activity. The unique composition shows potential for cancer treatment when combined with existing therapies in future studies.

This study demonstrated a validated UPLC method for analyzing finasteride in low-dose drug products, highlighting methanol content and flow rate as critical factors for method robustness and accuracy.

This review discusses strategies for developing semi-solid topical generic products to match the quality of reference-listed drugs, using concepts like quality by design and reverse-engineering, but reports no new results.

In this study, extracting internal lipids from Caucasian hair fibers led to decreased water permeability, influenced by the fluidity of lipids.

This review highlights that pomegranate exhibits promising beneficial effects in preclinical and clinical studies for cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular diseases, though further research is needed on its bioavailability and metabolites for effective therapeutic use.

This study found that methyl jasmonate can induce tanshinone biosynthesis in S. miltiorrhiza by affecting the expression of the SmMEC gene, as supported by RT-PCR and transcriptomic data.

This study found that a combination of betulin and cytostatic Namitecan had a statistically significant synergistic effect on solid Ehrlich adenocarcinoma tumors in NMRI mice, and suggests a promising method for administering betulin in in vivo experiments despite its water insolubility.

The researchers observed that in cichlid fishes with different dental structures, tooth replacement accelerated more than three times following tooth extraction, alongside distinct changes in gene expression and cellular interactions over one week, providing insights into tooth regeneration mechanisms in vertebrates.

This study found that overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein in mice resulted in 30–40% shorter hair due to premature transition into the catagen phase of the hair cycle.

In this study, researchers analyzed the clinical phenotype and primary pathogenic links in patients who survive the acute phase of a critical illness and rely on prolonged intensive care, finding that these patients show persistent inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and other chronic complications over time.

This study found that lipid extraction increased water diffusion in wool and hair fibers; the effect was more pronounced in hair, indicating lipids are crucial for water permeability.
