Many skin patients also have mental health issues, and doctors should treat both together.
research Combination of media, biomaterials and extracellular matrix proteins to enhance the differentiation of neural stem/precursor cells into neurons
Using certain small proteins with a growth factor and specific materials can increase the creation of neurons from stem cells.
research Minoxidil prevents 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine-induced serotonin depletions: role of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels, Akt and ERK
Minoxidil prevents serotonin loss from MDMA by affecting potassium channels and increasing Akt phosphorylation.
research Mechanisms underlying select chemotherapeutic-agent-induced neuroinflammation and subsequent neurodegeneration
Chemotherapy can cause brain inflammation and damage, and understanding this process could help manage side effects.

Juniperus plants contain compounds with potential for developing various medical treatments.
research Characterization of minoxidil/hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex in aqueous alginate gel useful for alopecia management: Efficacy evaluation in male rat
The gel made of minoxidil and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin improves hair growth and is good for long-term use.
research Advancements in research on the immune-inflammatory mechanisms mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome in ischemic stroke and the regulatory role of natural plant products
Natural plant products like Proanthocyanidins and curcumin may help treat ischemic stroke by reducing inflammation.
research Relating neurosteroid modulation of inhibitory neurotransmission to behaviour
Neurosteroids can influence behavior by modulating brain inhibition, with potential for treating psychiatric disorders.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Expression patterns of the glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor, neurturin, their cognate receptors GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and a common signal transduction element c-Ret in the human skin hair follicles
Certain proteins and their receptors are more active during the growth phase of human hair and could be targeted to treat hair disorders.
research Finasteride improves motor, EEG, and cellular changes in rat brain in thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy
Finasteride helps brain function in rats with liver-related brain issues.
research Roles of Wnt7a in embryo development, tissue homeostasis, and human diseases
Wnt7a protein is crucial for development and tissue maintenance and plays varying roles in diseases and potential treatments.
research Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania, a disorder where people compulsively pull out their own hair, often starts around age 12, is more common in adult females, and can be treated with behavior therapy and medication.
research COVID-19 and hypopituitarism
COVID-19 and hypopituitarism (reduced pituitary gland function) are linked, with the latter's related health issues potentially worsening COVID-19 outcomes, and COVID-19 possibly increasing risk for pituitary complications.
research Polygonum multiflorum extract support hair growth by elongating anagen phase and abrogating the effect of androgen in cultured human dermal papilla cells
Polygonum multiflorum extract helps hair grow longer and fights the effects of hormones that cause hair loss.
research Isoallopregnanolone reduces tic‐like behaviours in the D1 CT ‐7 mouse model of Tourette syndrome
Isoallopregnanolone may be a safe and effective treatment for reducing tics in a mouse model of Tourette syndrome.
research Obsessive-compulsive disorder in dermatology
Skin doctors should recognize and treat conditions like hair-pulling and skin-picking early, often using therapy and medication, to help 50-70% of patients.
research Epidermal stem cell fate: what can we learn from embryonic stem cells?
Embryonic and adult stem cells are valuable for improving skin grafts and cell therapy.

Cannabinoid receptor-1 signaling is essential for the survival and growth of human hair follicle stem cells.
research Female pattern hair loss: beyond an androgenic aetiology?
Estrogen and prolactin may play bigger roles in female hair loss than previously thought.
research Progress and prospects: gene therapy for performance and appearance enhancement
Gene therapy shows promise for enhancing physical traits but faces ethical, safety, and regulatory challenges.
