research Minoxidil exerts different inhibitory effects on gene expression of lysyl hydroxylase 1, 2, and 3: Implications for collagen cross-linking and treatment of fibrosis
Minoxidil affects collagen-related genes, potentially helping treat fibrosis.
research Histologic response to topically applied minoxidil in male-pattern alopecia
Minoxidil can help grow hair and make hair follicles bigger, but it can also cause side effects.
research How real is senescent alopecia? A histopathologic approach
Aging alone rarely causes significant hair loss; hormones are a bigger factor.
research Teriflunomide (Aubagio®) for the treatment of multiple sclerosis
Teriflunomide is an effective and generally safe oral treatment for relapsing MS, reducing relapses and slowing disability progression.
research Comparison of rheological properties, follicular penetration, drug release, and permeation behavior of a novel topical drug delivery system and a conventional cream
The new drug delivery system releases the drug better in sebum and targets follicles more effectively than the conventional cream.
research Chapter 7 Reproductive Dysfunction in Women with Epilepsy
Epilepsy and certain epilepsy drugs can lead to reproductive problems in women, but changing medication might improve these issues.
research Sex differences in the effect of finasteride on acute ethanol withdrawal severity in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice
