A 3-month stay in space causes skin thinning, disrupts hair growth, and changes muscle-related genes in mice.
research Kin‐cohort analysis of LRRK2‐G2019S penetrance in Parkinson's disease
The LRRK2-G2019S mutation in Parkinson's disease has a lifetime penetrance of 25-35%, and finasteride may help reduce symptoms in adult male Tourette syndrome patients.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research A preliminary study of finasteride in Tourette syndrome
Finasteride reduces Tourette syndrome symptoms, but results may be limited due to potential biases.
research The non-neuronal and nonmuscular effects of botulinum toxin: an opportunity for a deadly molecule to treat disease in the skin and beyond
Botulinum toxin has potential for treating various skin conditions and improving wound healing.
research Eph/ephrin signaling in epidermal differentiation and disease
Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
research Control by a hair’s breadth: the role of microRNAs in the skin
MicroRNAs play a crucial role in skin and hair health, affecting everything from growth to aging, and could potentially be used in treating skin diseases.
research Design of a RADA16-based self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold for biomedical applications
RADA16 is a promising material for tissue repair and regenerative medicine but needs improvement in strength and cost.
research Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome—Current Status and Prospects for Gene Therapy Treatment
Gene therapy has potential as a future treatment for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.
research Desferrioxamine treatment of aceruloplasminemia: Long‐term follow‐up
Finasteride may help reduce symptoms in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Repeated Low-Level Red-Light Therapy for Controlling Onset and Progression of Myopia-a Review
Red-light therapy may slow myopia progression better than traditional treatments.
research New steps forward in the neuroactive steroid field
Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research Clinical features, with video documentation, of the original familial lewy body parkinsonism caused by α‐synuclein triplication (Iowa kindred)
The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.
research Applications and Risks of Nanomaterials Used in Regenerative Medicine, Delivery Systems, Theranostics, and Therapy
Nanomaterials in biomedicine can improve treatments but may have risks like toxicity, needing more safety research.
research Carthami flos: a review of its ethnopharmacology, pharmacology and clinical applications
Safflower has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and shows promise in treating heart, brain, and inflammatory conditions, but more research is needed to ensure its safety.
research Risk Factors and Characterization of Vitiligo and Alopecia Areata in Patients With Chronic Graft-vs-Host Disease
Female donor to male recipient sex mismatch and positive ACA-IgG are key risk factors for vitiligo and alopecia areata in chronic GvHD patients.
research A rational approach to the diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome during adolescence
Diagnosing PCOS in teenagers should focus on signs of excess male hormones and not rely solely on ovarian ultrasound or irregular periods, and should be reassessed in adulthood.
research Exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic fields emitted from mobile phones induced DNA damage in human ear canal hair follicle cells
Mobile phone radiation may cause DNA damage in human ear hair follicle cells.
