research Recent advances in oxasteroids chemistry
New methods to make oxasteroids show promise for medical treatments like osteoporosis and breast cancer.
research Promotive Effect of Minoxidil Combined with All-trans Retinoic Acid (tretinoin) on Human Hair Growth in Vitro
Minoxidil and ATRA together boost hair growth more effectively than minoxidil alone.
research New advances in the treatment of thin endometrium
New treatments aim to improve thin endometrium to help more couples with infertility.
research Hair loss and herbs for treatment
Herbs can potentially treat hair loss by inhibiting a key enzyme and promoting hair growth, and deficiencies in zinc, biotin, and iron are linked to hair loss.
research Combination of herbal extracts and platelet-rich plasma induced dermal papilla cell proliferation: involvement of ERK and Akt pathways
Herbal extracts and platelet-rich plasma together may help increase hair growth by making certain cells grow more, through specific cell growth pathways.
research What may be the markers of the male equivalent of polycystic ovary syndrome?
Some men with early hair loss may have a condition similar to PCOS in women.
research Skin permeability and transdermal delivery route of 50-nm indomethacin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles
50-nm nanoparticles are better at penetrating skin and targeting hair follicles for drug delivery than 100-nm ones.
research Knock-Down of Arabidopsis PLC5 Reduces Primary Root Growth and Secondary Root Formation While Overexpression Improves Drought Tolerance and Causes Stunted Root Hair Growth
Changing the amount of PLC5 in Arabidopsis affects root growth and drought resistance, with less PLC5 slowing root growth and more PLC5 improving drought tolerance but hindering root hair growth.
research A Clinical and Biological Guide for Understanding Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia and Its Prevention
Scalp cooling can help prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss with a 50-90% success rate and is safe for patients.
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 Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Recent advances in thiasteroids chemistry
New sulfur-containing steroid analogs show promise for more targeted medical treatments.
research Natural Molecules in the Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): An Analytical Review
Natural molecules like inositols, resveratrol, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids may help manage Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), but their effects vary and need more exploration.
research Treatment options for alopecia: an update, looking to the future
The document concludes that there are various treatments for different types of alopecia, but more research is needed for evidence-based treatments.
research Assessment of the usefulness of dihydrotestosterone in the diagnostics of patients with androgenetic alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
research Side Effects of 5‐Alpha Reductase Inhibitors: A Comprehensive Review
5-alpha reductase inhibitors slightly increase the risk of sexual and mood side effects, and breast growth in men.
research Interventions for female pattern hair loss
Minoxidil effectively treats female pattern hair loss.
research Leydig Cell Hyperplasia and Adenomas in Mice Treated with Finasteride, a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor: A Possible Mechanism
High doses of finasteride cause cell growth and tumors in mice.
research Comparison of rheological properties, follicular penetration, drug release, and permeation behavior of a novel topical drug delivery system and a conventional cream
The new drug delivery system releases the drug better in sebum and targets follicles more effectively than the conventional cream.
research Methods for quantifying intrafollicular drug delivery: a critical appraisal
The document concludes that there is no agreed-upon best method for measuring drug delivery within hair follicles and more research is needed to validate current techniques.
research Dermal and Transdermal Drug Delivery through Vesicles and Particles: Preparation and Applications
Transdermal drug delivery systems are effective and promising for future use.
research FOXN1 Deficiency: from the Discovery to Novel Therapeutic Approaches
New treatments for immune disorders caused by FOXN1 deficiency are promising.
research Safety concerns regarding 5α reductase inhibitors for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
5α reductase inhibitors treat hair loss but may cause sexual side effects and risks.
research Finasteride and Its Potential for the Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss: Evidence to Date
Finasteride shows promise for female hair loss, but more research needed.
research Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy for Transgender Females
Hormone therapy for transgender females increases the risk of blood clots and requires careful dosing, monitoring, and lifelong management.
research Understanding and Addressing Hair Disorders in Transgender Individuals
Hormone therapy affects hair growth in transgender individuals, with testosterone potentially causing hair loss in trans men and estrogen reducing facial/body hair in trans women; treatment options vary.
research 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 Modulates the Hair-Inductive Capacity of Dermal Papilla Cells: Therapeutic Potential for Hair Regeneration
