This study found that plasma protein binding significantly contributes to the shifts in glucocorticosteroid concentration ratios among blood, saliva, and hair, challenging prior assumptions about enzyme inactivation as the main factor.

Women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia often have higher levels of certain androgens, but the specific pattern can't be predicted just by looking at symptoms.

This study found that low doses of bisphenol A may increase proliferation of the ventral prostate in adult rats by altering the estrogen to androgen ratio and gene expression.

This review examines around 68 plant sources from six major plant families, assessing their scientific rationale and use by the cosmeceutical industry for applications like anti-ageing and sun protection.

This study found that age-related fluctuations in hormones and endocannabinoids in male C57BL/6 mice showed specific patterns, with peak values observed around 2.7 to 3.4 months, with these patterns seen in both plasma and hair but with different magnitudes.

In this study, higher DHA/omega-6 fatty acid ratios were linked to increased social impairment in individuals with autism, alongside lower antioxidant enzyme levels and higher markers of lipid peroxidation.

This review discusses the role of keratins in maintaining epidermal structure and function and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the lack of rational therapies for skin disorders linked to keratin mutations.

In this study, adolescents with depressive symptoms were found to have higher urinary excretion rates of certain steroid metabolites, including corticosterone and adrenal hormones, and a specific metabolite ratio was identified as a potential biomarker for distinguishing these patients from healthy controls.

This systematic review reported that PCOS is marked by increased androgens, hirsutism, and an elevated LH/FSH ratio, with metformin showing a therapeutic effect on menstrual cycles, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment strategies.

Adding bentonite clays to goat diets increased milk yield, periwinkle shell improved chicken egg production, and vaccination increased muscle area and carcass yield in calves.

This review discusses the effects of hormonal changes on hair follicles, concluding that hormones like androgens and estradiol significantly influence hair growth and cycle, while the roles of other hormones are still being researched.

This study developed immortalized human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal-like stromal cells (iHF-MSCs) as a consistent source of therapeutic secretome, reporting their superior immunomodulatory and regenerative performance, potentially advancing cell-free therapies for inflammation and tissue repair.

This study found that short-day photoperiod treatment in Shanbei white cashmere goats enhanced cashmere growth, increased secondary follicle density, and altered hormone levels and gene expression related to hair follicle development.

This source evaluates the clinical effectiveness of 308 nm monochromatic excimer phototherapy in treating moderate-to-severe alopecia areata, noting that both laser and lamp methods show promise without significant risks.

This article discusses the clinical spectrum and pathobiology of radiotherapy-induced alopecia and reports no new research findings, highlighting potential pathways for future targeted RIA management.

This study found that in male rat hippocampal slices, DHT is necessary for low frequency stimulation-induced long-term depression, while E2 synthesis is essential for high frequency stimulation-induced long-term potentiation.

This study found that Grateloupia elliptica extract may help treat hair loss by promoting dermal papilla cell proliferation, inhibiting 5α-reductase, and reducing inflammation in various cell types.

This study found that 3D spheroid culture reprogrammed mesenchymal stem cells into a uniform immunosuppressive phenotype, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for inflammatory diseases like psoriasis.

This review explores how mesenchymal stem cells and their extracellular vesicles may treat various skin diseases by modulating immune responses and promoting healing, though further clinical trials are needed to confirm their safety and efficacy in practice.

This study found that in overweight or obese women with PCOS, certain baseline subcutaneous adipose tissue genes significantly predicted weight loss response to a 4-month behavioral lifestyle intervention, with the gene GSTM5 as the strongest predictor.

In this study, researchers reported that a newly developed interferon-γ release assay for cell-mediated immunity to SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid peptides demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity, making it a robust tool for routine diagnostic tests and potentially useful in predicting clinical outcomes after pathogen re-exposure.

In this study, two methotrexate-loaded liquid crystal formulations for topical application showed immunomodulatory effects and induced skin changes in mice with imiquimod-induced psoriasis.

This study found that Centipeda minima and brevilin A significantly reduced oxidative stress and inflammation in human dermal fibroblasts, suggesting their potential to protect against skin aging and inflammation.

In this study, Artemisia sieversiana extract was found to safely promote hair follicle dermal papilla cell growth and inhibit hair loss through anti-androgen, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects at a cellular level.

This study found that topical rebamipide, originally a gastric ulcer medication, can activate hair follicle stem cells and promote hair regeneration by modulating dermal adipocyte metabolism, with potential targeting of the prostaglandin E receptor EP4.

This study found that among HIV-infected women, central lipohypertrophy was associated with shorter eyelashes but not changes in scalp hair texture or inflammation.

This study suggests that combining finasteride with traditional herbal formulas Yongdamsagan-tang or Paljung-san may not interfere with drug metabolism while potentially enhancing anti-inflammatory effects for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that LED light irradiation induced proliferation and migration of human outer root sheath cells, potentially through the stimulation of the Wnt/β-catenin and ERK signaling pathways.

In this study, six types of cold-pressed oils commonly found in the Polish market were analyzed for their health-promoting compounds and antioxidant activity, revealing them as valuable sources of bioactive compounds like polyunsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols, sterols, and polyphenols, without exceeding recommended deterioration parameters.

This study found that dietary pyridoxine increased hair follicle density in Rex rabbits by activating PI3K/Akt, Wnt, and Notch signaling pathways, which may promote hair growth and delay telogen onset.
