January 2020 in “Nihon Yakuri Gakkai nenkai yoshishu” This study suggested that minoxidil's neuroprotective effect in mice was independent of its blood pressure-lowering action, unlike the effects observed with losartan and doxazosin.
June 2018 in “Surgical Case Reports” S-1 treatment led to a complete response in pancreatic cancer with manageable side effects.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that keratin filament networks in SG1 cells of mice undergo dynamic changes during cornification, impacting the barrier function of the stratum corneum.
January 2018 in “日本薬理学会年会要旨集 =” This study found that high-dose minoxidil, a potassium channel opener, may protect neuronal tissue from damage following transient focal cerebral ischemia in mice.
September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that orally administering the CCR5 inhibitor Maraviroc improved hair loss in 4 out of 5 mice with alopecia areata and also reduced the development of the condition, evidenced by decreased CCR5+ T-cell infiltration in treated mice.
April 2017 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” In this study, researchers found that in adult mice, new hair follicles with pigmentation can regenerate from the epidermis after skin wounding, aided by melanocyte stem cells moving from nearby existing hair follicles.
November 2016 in “The Molecular Biology Society of Japan”
September 2016 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This study found that knockout mice lacking SMS1 showed reduced body weight and hair loss, indicating a role for SMS1 in normal growth and hair health.
August 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study reported improvement in hair loss lesions in C3H/HeJ mice with alopecia areata following treatment with the CCR5 inhibitor maraviroc, alongside reduced infiltration of specific T cells in the lesions.
July 2016 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study concluded that a new model of reconstructed human epidermis using keratinocytes from plucked hair follicles offers a less-invasive alternative to conventional skin-derived models for skin research.
January 2016 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)” This study examined the expression of fatty acid transporters and binding proteins in mouse sebaceous glands and found that CD36 did not affect the localization of other related molecules.
January 2014 in “Progress of Digestive Endoscopy” This case report describes a 60-year-old woman with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome whose symptoms and polyposis improved following prednisolone therapy, but emphasizes the need for periodic digestive tract screening due to associated cancer risks.
June 2013 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)” This study reported that Glechoma hederacea subsp. grandis extract promoted hair growth in humans and mice, suggesting its potential as a natural remedy for hair loss conditions.
March 2011 in “Journal of Dermatology” This figure in the publication investigates the relationship between expression levels and tumor burden but reports no specific findings or conclusions.
April 2009 in “The FASEB Journal” This review of the Motherisk Program's counseling experience found a scarcity of information on medication safety related to paternal exposure to drugs and chemicals during the peri-conception period, emphasizing the need for further research.
September 2001 in “Connective tissue” Type XII and XIV collagens help maintain hair follicle structure in bovine skin.
June 1999 in “Connective tissue” March 1998 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” Keratin-associated proteins may have roles in various mouse tissues, not just hair.
January 1998 in “Dermatology” This abstract lists various medical conditions, treatments, and substances, but it does not report any new research findings.
June 1996 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” Two new compounds were found that could promote hair growth as well or better than minoxidil.
July 1995 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” February 1985 in “PubMed” March 2023 in “Clinical Toxicology” This correspondence highlights a case of intradermal minoxidil injection in a patient but does not report new research findings.
November 2019 in “Nosotchu” This case study describes a 21-year-old man who experienced a hemorrhagic stroke potentially linked to finasteride and minoxidil use for androgenic alopecia, emphasizing the need for thorough medication history in young stroke patients.
January 2019 in “Dermatologica Sinica” This study observed that dutasteride treatment led to improvement in acne vulgaris among two male patients with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting its potential as a treatment option for concurrent conditions.
