This study reported that in rat retinas under high pressure, allopregnanolone synthesis increased and helped reduce pressure-induced damage through GABAA receptors, suggesting potential therapeutic use in glaucoma.

In this study, petroleum ether extract of Citrullus colocynthis fruit effectively promoted hair growth in a mouse model of androgen-induced alopecia, showing comparable results to the standard treatment, finasteride.

This study suggests that human keratin fiber matrix has a well-defined nano-scale grainy structure rather than being amorphous, with grain size influenced by chemical treatments, temperature, humidity, and follicle-level factors.

This review outlines the current state of freeze-dried platelet-rich plasma (FD-PRP) research, emphasizing its use in wound healing, lumbar fusion, knee conditions, and dentistry, but reports no new clinical findings.

Eating isoflavone can help mice grow hair by increasing a growth factor.

This study developed lipid nanoparticles for delivering minoxidil and finasteride to the dermis and hair follicles, showing stability and a desired prolonged release, though with low skin penetration levels.

This study found that minoxidil provides cardioprotective effects in guinea-pig heart cells through selective activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels.

This review discusses micro-segmental hair analysis for forensic toxicology, emphasizing its potential to provide detailed drug distribution profiles and its application in investigations, while noting the method's limitations and future perspectives.

This study found that conditional knockout of N-WASP in keratinocytes of mice led to skin barrier defects, increased immune cell infiltration, and hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, indicating its crucial role in skin homeostasis.

This study found that white wax and its extract may promote hair growth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity and increasing cell proliferation, with efficacy surpassing finasteride.

The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.

This review discusses androgen manipulation strategies for conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic carcinoma but reports no new clinical results.
