Silymarin improved wound healing and skin regeneration in rats.
research Journal Watch
A test for nail fungus was most accurate with PAS stain, low-dose spironolactone helped two-thirds of acne patients, metformin reduced symptoms of HIV-related fat distribution changes with some side effects, and skin examination with dermoscopy was better at detecting abnormal moles, while temporary tattoos can cause skin reactions.
research Minoxidil with Tretinoin in Baldness
Minoxidil and tretinoin together may help hair growth but need more research.
research Evaluation of ovarian reserve and function in female patients treated with oral isotretinoin for severe acne: an exploratory study
Oral isotretinoin for severe acne can change hormone levels but does not significantly affect ovarian function.
research Efficacy and safety of dutasteride in the treatment of alopecia: a comprehensive review
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss but may affect male fertility and should be used cautiously.
research Repurposing existing drugs for COVID-19: an endocrinology perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research Age-related differences in the reproductive and metabolic implications of polycystic ovarian syndrome: findings in an obese, United States population
Older obese women with PCOS have higher cardiovascular and metabolic risks despite lower androgen levels.
research Indirect clinical markers for the detection of anabolic steroid abuse beyond the conventional doping control in athletes
New signs like changes in blood markers, physical symptoms, and behavioral shifts may help detect hidden steroid use in athletes.
research The five-year effects of testosterone replacement therapy on lipid profile and glucose tolerance among hypogonadal men in Japan: a case control study
Testosterone replacement therapy improved blood sugar and fat levels without raising prostate cancer risk in Japanese men with low testosterone.
research Does myo-inositol oxygenase, the only enzyme to catalyze myo-inositol in vivo, play a role in the etiology of polycystic ovarian syndrome?
The enzyme myo-inositol oxygenase is not linked to the cause of polycystic ovarian syndrome.
research Characterization of novel TMEM173 mutation with additive IFIH1 risk allele
A new mutation in the TMEM173 gene and a risk allele in IFIH1 cause a unique set of immune-related symptoms.
research Intradermal injections of a hair growth factor formulation for enhancement of human hair regrowth – safety and efficacy evaluation in a first-in-man pilot clinical study
The QR 678 hair growth treatment was safe and effective for hair regrowth in men and women.
research Genetic ablation of myelin protein zero-like 3 in mice increases energy expenditure, improves glycemic control, and reduces hepatic lipid synthesis
Removing myelin protein zero-like 3 in mice leads to better metabolism and resistance to obesity.
research The endoscopic surgical monitoring system-guided impact factors exploring of blood loss and fluid absorption during plasmakinetic TURP: a prospective study in high-risk BPH patients
Larger prostate size, longer surgery, and smoking increase risks, while finasteride and experienced surgeons reduce them during prostate surgery.
research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
research Hair loss.
Up to 50% of scalp hair can be lost before it appears thin, and treatment is only needed for hair loss caused by diseases or deficiencies.
research Topical minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia: When blood pressure agents make you hairy.
Topical minoxidil increases hair density in androgenetic alopecia but has unclear clinical significance.
research Compartmentalized organization: a common and required feature of stem cell niches?
Compartmentalized organization might be crucial for stem cells to effectively respond to growth or injury.
research A human prenatal skin cell atlas reveals immune cell regulation of skin morphogenesis
Immune cells are essential for early hair and skin development and healing.
research Biocompatibility of KAPs-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research Thyroxine (T4) may promote re-epithelialisation and angiogenesis in wounded human skin ex vivo
Thyroxine (T4) may help heal skin wounds by promoting new skin and blood vessel growth.
research Repurposing of Drugs as Novel Influenza Inhibitors From Clinical Gene Expression Infection Signatures
A blood pressure drug, diltiazem, may also help treat influenza.
research An evaluation of the RapidHIT™ ID system for hair roots stained with Diamond™ Nucleic Acid Dye
The RapidHIT ID system can effectively get DNA profiles from hair roots with enough cells.
research Insights into the Scenario of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Male Reproductive Toxicity
COVID-19 may harm male reproductive health and lower testosterone levels, potentially affecting fertility and causing erectile dysfunction. More research is needed.
research What is minoxidil, the anti-balding hair growth treatment? Here’s what the science says
Minoxidil can slow hair loss and promote regrowth but won't fully restore hair.
research Reversible Anagen Effluvium Induced by Azathioprine: A Rare Adverse Effect Case Report
Stopping azathioprine led to full hair regrowth and recovery in 2.5 months.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
