Four new compounds were more effective than finasteride in treating prostate issues and hair loss, with one being 100 times more active and safe for use.
research Oxidative Activity of the Type 2 Isozyme of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) Predominates in Human Sebaceous Glands
The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.
research Toward a Diagnostic Score in Cushing's Syndrome
The document suggests creating a validated score to diagnose Cushing's Syndrome and considers plasma steroid profiling as a simpler diagnostic method.
research Therapy and Antifungal Susceptibility Profile of Microsporum canis
Terbinafine and itraconazole are more effective against Microsporum canis than fluconazole and griseofulvin.
research Protective effects of melatonin against metabolic and reproductive disturbances in polycystic ovary syndrome in rats
Melatonin may help treat PCOS symptoms in rats.
research An overview of JAK/STAT pathways and JAK inhibition in alopecia areata
Blocking JAK/STAT pathways can help treat hair loss from alopecia areata.
research Insight into Reepithelialization: How Do Mesenchymal Stem Cells Perform?
Mesenchymal stem cells help improve wound healing by reducing inflammation and promoting skin cell growth and movement.
research A dopamine-methacrylated hyaluronic acid hydrogel as an effective carrier for stem cells in skin regeneration therapy

research Photobiomodulation of human dermal fibroblasts in vitro: decisive role of cell culture conditions and treatment protocols on experimental outcome
Different lab conditions and light treatment methods change how human skin cells respond to light therapy.
research Tuning Wnt Signals for More or Fewer Hairs
Changing Wnt signaling can lead to more or less hair growth and might help treat hair loss and skin conditions.
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 The prolactin receptor as a therapeutic target in human diseases: browsing new potential indications
Blocking the prolactin receptor might help treat various diseases, but more research is needed.
research Transplantation of bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal and epidermal stem cells contribute to wound healing with different regenerative features
Bone-marrow and epidermal stem cells help heal wounds differently, with bone-marrow cells aiding in blood vessel formation and epidermal cells in hair growth.
research Patterns of ovarian morphology in polycystic ovary syndrome: a study utilising magnetic resonance imaging
The study found that women with PCOS have more and larger ovarian follicles and differences in ovarian structure, but these features alone can't always diagnose PCOS.
research A review of adipocyte lineage cells and dermal papilla cells in hair follicle regeneration
