March 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that in sheep, the microRNA oar-miR-377 regulates hair follicle development by targeting the SLC24A2 gene, and identified a genetic variation associated with wool quality, suggesting potential markers for breeding.
February 2024 in “Zagazig University Medical Journal” This study found that TCF7L2 gene polymorphism is linked to alopecia areata, but no significant difference in treatment outcomes was observed between PRP and conventional therapy among different genotypes.
October 2022 in “The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine” In this study, serum omentin-1 levels were higher in females with idiopathic hirsutism compared to those with hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting it may help distinguish between these conditions.
June 2022 in “Biomedical reports” This study concluded that STK11 gene polymorphisms were not predictive of metformin response in women with PCOS, though they may influence alopecia and hirsutism.
June 2020 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study suggests that the DNMT3B -579 G>T polymorphism may be a genetic risk factor for colorectal cancer in the Azerbaijani population.
October 2018 in “International journal of reproduction, contraception, obstetrics and gynecology” This study found that in women with PCOS in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, glucose homeostatic disorders were common, particularly among those with higher testosterone levels, suggesting the need for glucose disorder screening in this population.
May 2025 in “The Journal of Rheumatology” This case report highlights the importance of trans-esophageal echocardiography in distinguishing Libman-Sacks endocarditis from infective endocarditis in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, guiding appropriate treatment for associated cerebrovascular disease.
January 2019 in “eScholarship (California Digital Library)” This study concluded that CNS1-dependent peripheral Tregs do not significantly impact type 1 diabetes in the NOD mouse model, with thymus-derived Tregs being the primary regulators.
February 2014 in “Revista Argentina de Cardiología” In this study, testosterone was found to increase the risk of arrhythmias in a rat heart model, while finasteride reduced this arrhythmogenic effect.
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.

March 2025 in “Molecules” This study explored the in vitro skin penetration of two compounds from Tectona grandis leaf extract used for standardization and found that compound 1 penetrates more efficiently than compound 2, especially with a propylene glycol enhancer.
In this study, the authors reported that certain SNPs on chromosome 20 were associated with androgenetic alopecia in the ethnic Han population of Yunnan, with specific alleles linked to higher likelihood of developing the condition.
March 2023 in “Trends in Telemedicine & E-health” Medical questionnaires could modernize healthcare by improving access and efficiency but need guidelines to ensure quality care.
June 2026 in “THE THERAPIST (Journal of Therapies & Rehabilitation Sciences)” This review highlights the rising interest in exosomes within regenerative medicine, emphasizing their role as communicators that offer standardized manufacturing and ease of use over stem cells. Yet, exosomes complement rather than replace stem cells, each holding unique positions within biological processes.
December 2023 in “Tuberkuloz ve Toraks/Tüberküloz ve toraks” This study identified female sex and specific radiological findings as risk factors for chronic post-COVID syndrome, while long-term use of angiotensin-2 receptor blockers was linked to fewer chronic symptoms.
