The authors suggest that nanoparticles, synthesized from biological sources, may enable targeted cancer therapy with fewer side effects than traditional methods.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that in a mouse model, the stimulation of mammary tumor growth due to progesterone is primarily caused by its metabolite, 5αP, not progesterone itself.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) regulates the degradation of p27 in MCF-7 breast cancer and OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cells, involving SKP2 as a key factor.

This review discusses the expression of PSA in hormonally-regulated tissues and female malignancies, emphasizing its potential as a diagnostic biomarker and role in antidoping initiatives.

This review discusses the traditional uses and reported bioactivities of Elephantopus scaber, but provides no new experimental results; the authors call for more research on its anticancer potential.

This study suggests that paeoniflorin's protective effects on brain astrocytes may be mediated by TSPO and neurosteroids biosynthesis.

This review highlights the potential of wedelolactone from the plant Wedelia Chinensis, summarizing its reported pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antitumor, anti-osteoporosis activities, and organ protection based on existing in vitro and in vivo research findings.

This review reports the potential therapeutic effects of Semecarpus anacardium Linn. (Bhallataka), noting its compounds like anacardic acid may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties, but emphasizes that further research is necessary to confirm these effects and determine safety due to inconsistent study methods.

In this in vitro study, researchers found that a combination of soursop leaf extract and doxorubicin moderately enhanced the anti-cancer effect against MCF-7 breast cancer cells, but they did not report on reducing doxorubicin's side effects.

This study found that the hydromethanolic extract of Carthamus caeruleus L. rhizome demonstrated significantly higher antioxidant and cytotoxic activities compared to the chloroformic extract, particularly against NCI-H460 lung carcinoma cells, suggesting its potential use as a traditional treatment for burns.

This study surveyed the use and potential toxicity of medicinal plants in the Fez-Meknes region of Morocco, documenting 59 toxic species used primarily for cosmetic purposes and minor illnesses, and identified hair loss and rheumatism as having the highest informant agreement ratios.

The article reviews various medicinal properties of Semecarpus anacardium Linn., highlighting its traditional use for different diseases and noting its potential benefits as antiatherogenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and hypoglycemic, among others.

This study developed a new analytical method to identify a wide range of endocrine disrupting compounds in full-term amniotic fluid, revealing diverse substances with potential endocrine activity.

In this study, the ethyl acetate extract of Semecarpus anacardium Linn leaves was reported to induce cytotoxicity in cancer cells, cause cell cycle arrest, and suppress tumor growth in mice.

This study found that the ethyl acetate extract of Semecarpus anacardium leaves demonstrated cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cancer cells and induced apoptosis, suggesting potential as a cancer treatment with fewer side effects.

This study found that hair growth gel and tonic containing red grape seed extract were physically and chemically unstable under high temperature and humidity conditions over 30 days.

This review explores androgen metabolism in the skin, highlighting enzyme localization and potential implications for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

The study found that prolactin expressed in human scalp hair follicles acts as an autocrine modulator, inhibiting hair growth and promoting hair follicle regression, which may contribute to hair loss in hyper-prolactinemia patients.

This study supports the conclusion that the hormetic dose-response model is the most prevalent and fundamental model in biological and biomedical sciences, applicable to a wide range of clinical conditions.

This study describes the enzymatic processes through which DHEA is converted to active sex steroids in human skin, highlighting an androgenic effect on sebaceous glands and estrogenic effects in the vagina.

This study observed that in hormone-starved prostate cancer cells, the androgen 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone rapidly induces matriptase activation and shedding, which involves androgen receptor signaling and requires both transcription and protein synthesis.

This study screened synthesized pyridinecarboxamides for antitumor properties and found that many, particularly 5c and 7a, showed moderate in vitro activity against various human tumor cell lines.

In this study, treatment with DHEA induced mild to moderate hyperplasia of sebaceous glands in ovariectomized rats, which was prevented by the antiandrogen Flutamide but not by the antiestrogen EM-800.

This review explores nano-quercetin formulations to enhance the solubility, stability, and targeted delivery of quercetin, highlighting its potential efficacy in treating cancer, inflammation, metabolic diseases, and tissue regeneration, though challenges in biocompatibility, toxicity, and production remain, per this source.

This review highlights that nanoemulsions, especially those with droplet sizes under 200 nm, show promise in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics by improving drug stability, bioavailability, and reducing side effects, with potential applications in CNS diseases, cancer treatments, and skincare products.

This study found that vitamin D regulates cholesterol metabolism and may influence prostate cancer development through mechanisms affecting prostate cell growth and sex hormone metabolism.

In this study, researchers formulated a nanosuspension of kenikir leaf extract that meets physical criteria and exhibits cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

This review suggests that garlic contains substances which may complement breast cancer treatment, but it reports no new experimental results.

This source reports that trastuzumab deruxtecan improves outcomes in HER2-positive and HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, emphasizing the need for careful adverse event monitoring, particularly for interstitial lung disease, and managing emetic risk to maximize benefits.

This study found that skin exposure to toluene diisocyanate in mice creates immune-recognition reservoirs in the skin's stratum corneum and hair follicles, potentially leading to sensitization and allergic reactions.
