This dissertation reported that the loss of Ovol2 impairs hair follicle regeneration and wound repair in mice, highlighting its role in regulating directional migration of epithelial cells.

This study found that hemodialysis patients taking water-soluble vitamins had a 16% lower mortality risk compared to those not taking any, but the specific supplementation needed remains unclear.

This review discusses skin diseases related to contraceptive use, reporting potential issues with oral contraceptives and infrequent reactions to mechanical or barrier methods without new clinical findings.

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 paper outlines the research plan and current progress of a study analyzing mineral metabolism changes in astronauts by examining hair shafts after long-term space flight, with no new results yet.

This study suggests that the differences in aluminium tolerance between ET8 and ES8 wheat cultivars are linked to a complex suite of physiological mechanisms, including variations in malate and K+ release, Ca2+ homeostasis, and SV channel properties, rather than solely malate efflux.

This review discusses the complex etiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), highlighting its association with insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism, but reports no clinical findings; the authors suggest further investigation of the pathophysiological mechanisms.

This study identified shared genes and pathways in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients with COVID-19, suggesting these may increase mortality and pointing to potential drug targets for treatment.

This review discusses the properties and therapeutic potentials of beta-sitosterol, highlighting a need for more detailed studies on its mechanisms and long-term effects in humans; it reports no new results.

In this review, the authors discuss the pharmacology of dutasteride and compare its efficacy to finasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia, highlighting dutasteride's effectiveness demonstrated in several clinical trials.

This study found that artocarpin delivered via alginate/chitosan microparticles effectively suppressed the growth of hamster flank organs compared to artocarpin in solution form, without significant systemic effects.

Non-viral vectors show promise for safe and effective CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in treating diseases.
