This trial will compare the effectiveness of spironolactone to doxycycline for treating acne in adult females, potentially offering an alternative to antibiotics and isotretinoin.
This trial explores whether spironolactone is more effective than cyclines for treating moderate acne in adult women, providing a potential alternative amidst concerns over antibiotic resistance.
This study found that ethanol and methanol extracts of Spirulina platensis did not exhibit cytotoxic activity on WiDr colon cancer cells.
April 2018 in “Dermatologic Surgery” This overview describes the Dermatologic Surgery journal's comprehensive focus on a wide range of dermatologic surgical procedures, but it reports no new research findings.
This study found that deleting the Mad2l1 gene in mice leads to rapid onset of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and liver cancer due to induced chromosomal instability.
In this study, conditional inactivation of the Mad2l1 SAC gene in mice led to aggressive and lethal acute lymphoblastic leukemia and hepatocellular carcinoma, demonstrating a link between chromosomal instability and cancer development.
April 2016 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” Spironolactone use is not linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, but caution is advised for high-risk patients.
