Finasteride, CPA, and flutamide are all equally effective in reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research A New Primary Wound Dressing Made of Polyethylene Oxide Gel
Vigilon, a new wound dressing, promotes faster and better healing with less pain.
research Comparison of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and a low dose oral contraceptive given alone or together in the treatment of hirsutism.
Combining a GnRH agonist with a low-dose oral contraceptive is more effective and safer for treating hirsutism than using either alone.
research Relationships between cerebrospinal fluid GABAergic neurosteroid levels and symptom severity in men with PTSD
Lower levels of certain brain chemicals are linked to worse PTSD symptoms in men.
research Sodium valproate and thrombocytopenia.
Sodium valproate can cause low platelet count.

research Promoted growth of murine hair follicles through controlled release of vascular endothelial growth factor
Controlled release of VEGF in a collagen hydrogel boosts hair growth in mice.
research Bacteria induce skin regeneration via IL-1β signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research EFFECTS OF A LOW‐DOSE DESOGESTREL‐ETHINYLESTRADIOL COMBINATION ON HIRSUTISM, ANDROGENS AND SEX HORMONE BINDING GLOBULIN IN WOMEN WITH A POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME
Low-dose oral contraceptives reduced hair growth and testosterone levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Vertebral epidermal transamidases
Transamidases are present in the epidermis but their exact role is unclear.
research The Comparison of In Vitro Photosensitizing Efficacy of Curcumin-Loaded Liposomes Following Photodynamic Therapy on Melanoma MUG-Mel2, Squamous Cell Carcinoma SCC-25, and Normal Keratinocyte HaCaT Cells
Liposomal curcumin improves skin cancer treatment effectiveness while sparing normal cells.
research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
research Brazilian keratin hair treatment: a review
Brazilian keratin treatments can straighten hair but may contain harmful formaldehyde.
research Chemotherapy for children with medulloblastoma
Chemotherapy may help with survival in children with medulloblastoma, but more research is needed.

Rat vibrissa follicles are useful for studying hair growth cycles, especially the transition from pro-anagen to anagen.
research Salivary Testosterone in Hirsutism: Correlations with Serum Testosterone and the Degree of Hair Growth
Salivary testosterone is a better measure for hirsutism than serum testosterone.
research Proliferation and differentiation of organoid hair follicle cells co-cultured with fat cells in collagen gel matrix culture
Fat cells slow hair cell growth but speed up their development.
