research Stem cells and the skin
Stem cells can rejuvenate skin, restore hair, and aid in wound healing.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.

Pro-IGF-II improves muscle repair in old mice.
research Effects of dihydrotestosterone on rat dermal papilla cells in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.
research The modern management of hirsutism
Effective hirsutism management requires identifying the cause, combining new and traditional treatments, and setting realistic expectations for patients.
research Estrogen-Dependent Ontogeny of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus*
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.

The microneedle patches effectively treat allergic conjunctivitis with controlled, sustained release of medication.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescents
The document concludes that diagnosing PCOS in teenagers is difficult and should focus on specific hormone levels and menstrual irregularities, while also considering treatment for symptoms and related health issues.
research Estuarine bed-sediment-quality data collected in New Jersey and New York after Hurricane Sandy, 2013
Hurricane Sandy increased contamination in estuarine sediments in New Jersey and New York.
research Dermatological problems of the puberty
Puberty often causes skin issues like acne and excessive sweating, and treatments require patience as results may vary.
research Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are key for managing rare scalp disorders that cause permanent hair loss.
