270-300 / 1000+ results research Age‐dependent changes in damage processes of hair cuticle
Older people's hair cuticles get more easily damaged and lose protective oils, especially in their 40s and 50s.
research Consumption of a low-carbohydrate and high-fat diet (the ketogenic diet) exaggerates biotin deficiency in mice
The ketogenic diet can worsen biotin deficiency, suggesting a need for biotin supplements.
research How Biodegradable Polymers Can be Effective Drug Delivery Systems for Cannabinoids? Prospectives and Challenges
Biodegradable polymers can improve cannabinoid delivery but need more clinical trials.
research Redefining hormone resistance in prostate cancer
The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
research Development of Liposomal Systems of Finasteride for Topical Applications: Design, Characterization, and In Vitro Evaluation
Liposomes improve finasteride delivery for hair loss treatment, making it a promising option for topical use.
research Review of the effects of 17α-estradiol in humans: a less feminizing estrogen with neuroprotective potential
17α-estradiol is a safe estrogen that might protect the brain and doesn't cause feminization, needing more research for treating brain diseases.
research In Vivo Investigation in Pigs of Intestinal Absorption, Hepatobiliary Disposition, and Metabolism of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride and the Effects of Coadministered Ketoconazole
Ketoconazole increases finasteride's effectiveness and lifespan in the body.
research Male pattern hair loss: prevention rather than regrowth
Preventing hair loss is more effective than regrowth; oral finasteride is a realistic option.
research Novel small molecules downregulate CDK1 expression and inhibit Wnt/β-catenin signaling in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma by targeting its distinct tumor-specific cellular landscape
Small molecules KY19382 and KY19334 may help treat skin cancer by reducing CDK1 levels and blocking harmful cell signals.
research Penetration and distribution of three lipophilic probes in vitro in human skin focusing on the hair follicle
Medium lipophilic substances penetrate skin best, and adding ethanol can increase delivery to hair follicles.
research Hunting the genes in male‐pattern alopecia: how important are they, how close are we and what will they tell us?
Genes play a significant role in male-pattern baldness, and understanding them could lead to new treatments and insights into related health issues.
research Spotlight Commentary: Importance of dose redefining in the process of drug repurposing
Redefining drug dosages is crucial when repurposing them for new uses.
research Peer Review #3 of "Computational drug repositioning based on side-effects mined from social media (v0.1)"
Reviewers criticized the study for assuming drugs with similar side-effects work the same way and questioned the validity of its findings due to potential biases and data quality issues.
research Penetration of drugs through skin, a complex rate-controlling membrane
The skin is a complex barrier for drug penetration, but understanding its structure and interactions can improve drug delivery methods.
research Electrophysiological mechanisms of minoxidil sulfate-induced vasodilation of rabbit portal vein.
The study explains how minoxidil sulfate causes vasodilation in rabbits by opening potassium channels and inhibiting calcium channels.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors – The Finasteride Story
Finasteride safely treats enlarged prostate and male-pattern baldness.
research Advances in Chitosan-Based Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery
Chitosan, a natural substance, can be used to create tiny particles that effectively deliver various types of drugs, but more work is needed to improve stability and control of drug release.
research Formulating, Optimizing and Evaluation of Dutasteride Loaded Insitu-Emulgel for Androgenetic Alopecia
The new gel for hair loss is safe, effective, and reduces side effects.
research Comparison of stratum corneum penetration and localization of a lipophilic model drug applied in an o/w microemulsion and an amphiphilic cream
The microemulsion delivered the dye deeper into the skin than the cream.
research Human hair follicle organ culture: theory, application and perspectives
Human hair follicle organ culture is a useful model for hair research with potential for studying hair biology and testing treatments.
research Wedelolactone, a medicinal plant-derived coumestan, induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in prostate cancer cells via downregulation of PKCε without inhibiting Akt
Wedelolactone selectively kills prostate cancer cells without harming normal cells.
research Keratin film made of human hair as a nail plate model for studying drug permeation
Keratin films from human hair can potentially replace human nail plates for drug testing.
research Stability of opiates in hair fibers after exposure to cosmetic treatment
Cosmetic treatments like bleaching and perming can greatly reduce opiate levels in hair, possibly leading to false-negative drug tests.
research Quantitative Models for the Study of Hair Growth in Vivoa
The conclusion is that small hair follicles cause baldness in macaques, and treatments like antiandrogens and minoxidil can prevent hair loss and promote regrowth.
research Formulation and optimization of transfersome containing minoxidil and caffeine
