This review summarizes the proposed model that describes how different shapes of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 ligands interact with the vitamin D receptor to mediate genomic and rapid responses in cells.

This study found that both the natural ligand 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and the synthetic agonist LG190178 bind similarly to the vitamin D receptor's coregulator motifs, suggesting similar biological functions.

In this study, researchers observed a high prevalence of ferritin and vitamin D deficiency in women with acute telogen effluvium, highlighting the importance of laboratory screening for these deficiencies, while also noting a correlation between ferritin levels and hair loss severity.

This study found that Meth-A cells induced alopecia in mice, but this effect was blocked by a protein kinase inhibitor, suggesting immunological mechanisms involving lymphokine-activated killer cells.

The authors concluded that coagulopathy can result from vitamin E supplementation, even at marginally elevated levels, especially when combined with other drugs that increase bleeding risk.

This review examines the impact of biotin, vitamin B12, and zinc on male reproduction, emphasizing their role in spermatogenic failure, but reports no new clinical results.

This study explored the structure and function of lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, revealing its dual role in substrate catalysis and as a lipophilic ligand carrier, potentially informing future drug delivery design.

This study investigated the photoprotective properties of Brazilian pepper tree extract against UV-induced damage in skin cells, reporting that it enhanced expression of genes relevant to skin health and showed superior activity compared to standard antioxidants.

The researchers reported that disrupting ATRA signaling by deleting RDHE genes in the hair follicle led to altered hair follicle cycles, composition, and gene expression, indicating RDHEs' role in hair follicle signaling coordination.

This review analyzed current studies on metabolite production from the medicinal fungus Cordyceps militaris, focusing on its fermentation modes and biological functions, and emphasizes the need for modern fermentation processes to enhance industrial production.

This study evaluated hair tonic formulations containing Ambon banana peel extract and found that the preparation, particularly at an 8% concentration, significantly promoted hair growth compared to other formulations, though it still differed from the control group's effectiveness.

This review discusses the potential causes and treatments for alopecia in nonhuman primates, emphasizing the need for comprehensive testing before attributing hair loss to stress.

This perspective proposes a new classification system for "superfoods" to better align them with environmental and social sustainability goals, emphasizing plant-based sources over animal-based ones due to lower greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation impacts.

This review discusses the potential of metabolic engineering to enable sustainable industrial-scale production of L-aspartate and its derivatives, detailing current microbial production progress, limiting factors, and future prospects with emerging technologies in synthetic biology.

This study found that oxidative damage is present in the mitochondria of PolG mice, which exhibit premature aging-like phenotypes due to mitochondrial dysfunction.

In this study, researchers developed a polyherbal hair growth oil using botanical substances and base oils like coconut and castor oil, finding it to be stable, non-irritating, and suggesting potential hair-growing properties through mechanisms such as scalp blood flow improvement and anti-inflammatory effects.

This study found that a 2% polyherbal phyto-complex cream containing aqueous extracts of Trichosanthes cucumerina and Abrus precatorius effectively promoted hair growth in preclinical tests, comparable to minoxidil 2%.

This review details the global mutation patterns of genes associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and highlights potential, yet unproven, treatments like minoxidil and regenerative therapies, reporting no new clinical results.

In this review, researchers examined the physiological benefits of Cheonggukjang, a salt-free fermented soybean paste, highlighting its various health-promoting components that may contribute to improved heart health, diabetes management, and cancer prevention, among other benefits.

This article discusses the various roles of steroids in vertebrate organ systems and notes several glucocorticoids that were among the Top 200 Drugs by sales in the 2010s, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review suggests that microneedling shows promise for improving hair quality, thickness, and density in treating androgenetic alopecia, but standardized treatment protocols are currently lacking.

In this study, researchers observed that individuals with alopecia areata exhibited significant changes in scalp microbiota diversity and composition, which were linked to disease severity and inflammation markers, though it remains unclear if these microbial shifts are a cause or a result of hair loss.

This research highlights selenium's critical roles in various biological processes and underscores the potential health impacts of both its deficiency and excess, including increased mortality risk, poor immune function, and neurological issues.

This article reviews various strategies, primarily developed by the Turin University Pharmaceutical Technology group, for increasing entrapment efficiency of hydrophilic molecules in nanoparticulate systems and reports no clinical results.

This study evaluated herbal hair gels made with extracts of flax seed and curry leaves, finding that the formulations offered good texture, stability, and sensory appeal while promoting healthy hair and scalp without irritation, making them suitable for regular use.

This study presents a method using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to quantify biotin in plasma and serum, and explores how high biotin intake can interfere with diagnostic immunoassays that utilize biotin-streptavidin technology, potentially leading to misdiagnosis of endocrine disorders.

This review discusses the dermatologic manifestations of hyperandrogenism in women and outlines the diagnostic approach and treatment options, reporting no new clinical results.

This review discusses advancements in understanding hair cycle and inflammatory alopecias, proposing a standard classification and tiered treatment recommendations, but reports no clinical results.
