This review outlines drug repurposing as an efficient, low-cost strategy to identify new uses for existing drugs, highlighting various computational and experimental approaches as well as publicly available databases to aid in personalized pharmacotherapy.

This study found that in male rats, hesperidin co-administration ameliorated finasteride-induced testicular toxicity by reducing oxidative stress and improving antioxidant status, sperm parameters, and enzyme activity compared to finasteride treatment alone.

This study found that activating TRPV4 in the skin of mice induced hair follicle regeneration by promoting anagen transition, suggesting potential treatment strategies for hair loss.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found 30 genetic loci associated with skin ageing phenotypes, noting shared biological pathways in aspects like pigmentation and wrinkling; researchers suggest further studies targeting the same SNP across populations could clarify these associations.

In this study, researchers using single nuclei RNA-sequencing found that fibroblasts in deeper layers of mouse skin expressed higher levels of pro-inflammatory genes post-wounding compared to other cells, highlighting their significant role in early inflammation and tissue repair processes.

This review examines emerging biomaterial strategies designed to support both neural regeneration and cutaneous wound healing, emphasizing their potential to improve sensory function through mechanisms like axonal regrowth and vascular network formation, while noting the need for standardized assessments and clinically translatable designs.

This study found that sebaceous glands in the skin are primarily renewed by their own stem cells during normal conditions, but after injury, they regenerate through stem cells from hair follicles, highlighting stem cell plasticity and regeneration capabilities.
