Drug repurposing is a cost-effective way to find new uses for existing drugs, speeding up treatment development.
research Doping-Control Analysis of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Determination of Its Influence on Urinary Steroid Profiles and Detection of Its Major Urinary Metabolite
Finasteride affects urinary steroid profiles and can potentially hide steroid abuse in sports drug testing.
research Xenobiotica-metabolizing enzymes in the skin of rat, mouse, pig, guinea pig, man, and in human skin models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research Combination Therapies and the Theoretical Limits of Evidence-Based Medicine
The current system can't fully test all combination treatments, so alternative methods and regulatory flexibility are needed.
research Single-strand DNA breaks in human hair root cells exposed to mobile phone radiation
Mobile phone radiation can cause DNA damage in human hair root cells.
research The human gut chemical landscape predicts microbe-mediated biotransformation of foods and drugs
The study developed a tool to predict how gut microbes process foods and drugs, showing that similar compounds often share metabolic pathways and effects.
research Hair greying is associated with active hair growth
White hair grows thicker and faster than black hair due to higher activity of growth-related genes and proteins.
research Human TSC2-null fibroblast-like cells induce hair follicle neogenesis and hamartoma morphogenesis
Cells from a skin condition can create new hair follicles and similar growths in mice, and a specific treatment can reduce these effects.
research Evaluation of the predictive capacity of DNA variants associated with straight hair in Europeans
Certain DNA variants can predict straight hair in Europeans but are not highly specific.

research Genetically-manipulated adult stem cells as therapeutic agents and gene delivery vehicle for wound repair and regeneration
Genetically-altered adult stem cells can help in wound healing and are becoming crucial in regenerative medicine and drug design.
research Side Effects of 5‐Alpha Reductase Inhibitors: A Comprehensive Review
5-alpha reductase inhibitors slightly increase the risk of sexual and mood side effects, and breast growth in men.
research CD98hc (SLC3A2) regulation of skin homeostasis wanes with age
CD98hc's role in skin health decreases with age.
research Two Hypomorphic Alleles of Mouse Ass1 as a New Animal Model of Citrullinemia Type I and Other Hyperammonemic Syndromes
Researchers created a new mouse model for studying Citrullinemia Type I and similar conditions, showing symptoms and treatment responses like those in humans.
research Tacrolimus in Dermatology
Tacrolimus is effective for various skin conditions with fewer side effects than cyclosporine.
research Higher PDCD4 expression is associated with obesity, insulin resistance, lipid metabolism disorders, and granulosa cell apoptosis in polycystic ovary syndrome
More PDCD4 is linked to obesity, insulin problems, and cell death in ovaries for those with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Sequential Scalp Assessment in Hair Regeneration Therapy Using an Adipose-Derived Stem Cell–Conditioned Medium
Using a special stem cell formula on the scalp once a month for six months helped people with hair loss grow more hair.
