research The human gut chemical landscape predicts microbe-mediated biotransformation of foods and drugs
The study developed a tool to predict how gut microbes process foods and drugs, showing that similar compounds often share metabolic pathways and effects.
research De novo single-nucleotide and copy number variation in discordant monozygotic twins reveals disease-related genes
The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.
research The Medical and Psychosocial Associations of Alopecia: Recognizing Hair Loss as More Than a Cosmetic Concern
Alopecia is linked to various health and mental conditions, impacts life quality, and needs medical attention beyond its cosmetic effects.
research Effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on post-surgical complications against the backdrop of the opioid crisis
NSAIDs may not affect soft tissue healing but should be used carefully for bone fractures and more research is needed to understand sex differences in response.
research Consecutive Cyproterone Acetate and Estradiol Treatment in Late-Pubertal Transgender Female Adolescents
Cyproterone acetate treatment is safe and causes mild feminization, which increases with added estrogen.
research Teriflunomide (Aubagio®) for the treatment of multiple sclerosis
Teriflunomide is an effective and generally safe oral treatment for relapsing MS, reducing relapses and slowing disability progression.
research Testosterone Improves Antidepressant‐Emergent Loss of Libido in Women: Findings from a Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Trial
Testosterone may help increase sexual events for women with low libido due to antidepressants.
research Spironolactone: An Anti-androgenic and Anti-hypertensive Drug That May Provide Protection Against the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19
Spironolactone might help protect against severe lung problems in COVID-19 patients.
research Human hair keratins promote the regeneration of peripheral nerves in a rat sciatic nerve crush model
Human hair keratin helps repair nerve damage in rats.
research Epigenetic control of skin and hair regeneration after wounding
Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
research Human TSC2-null fibroblast-like cells induce hair follicle neogenesis and hamartoma morphogenesis
Cells from a skin condition can create new hair follicles and similar growths in mice, and a specific treatment can reduce these effects.
research Fibromodulin reduces scar formation in adult cutaneous wounds by eliciting a fetal-like phenotype
Fibromodulin treatment helps reduce scarring and improves wound healing by making it more like fetal healing.
research Development of a Two-Dimensional Model for Predicting Transdermal Permeation with the Follicular Pathway: Demonstration with a Caffeine Study
Researchers developed a model that shows hair follicles increase skin absorption of caffeine by 20%.
research Influence of feed restriction on the wool proteome: A combined iTRAQ and fiber structural study
Feed restriction in sheep leads to finer wool fibers but may reduce wool quality.
research Destruction of the arrector pili muscle and fat infiltration in androgenic alopecia
Hair loss in male pattern baldness involves muscle degeneration and increased scalp fat.
research The bright side of fibroblasts: molecular signature and regenerative cues in major organs
Fibroblasts, cells usually linked to tissue repair, also help regenerate various organs and their ability decreases with age. Turning adult fibroblasts back to a younger state could be a new treatment approach.
research The balance of Bmp6 and Wnt10b regulates the telogen-anagen transition of hair follicles
BMP6 and Wnt10b control whether hair follicles are resting or growing.
research CD98hc (SLC3A2) regulation of skin homeostasis wanes with age
CD98hc's role in skin health decreases with age.
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 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 Androgens in women
Hormone treatments can help with women's skin and hair disorders, but they need careful monitoring and more research.
research Androgenetic alopecia and risk of prostate cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Vertex pattern hair loss linked to higher prostate cancer risk.
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 Neuroactive gonadal drugs for neuroprotection in male and female models of Parkinson's disease
Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Concomitant Use of Hyaluronic Acid and Laser in Facial Rejuvenation
Using hyaluronic acid fillers and laser together is generally safe and effective for facial rejuvenation, but careful planning is needed.
research Novel Approach to Treating Androgenetic Alopecia in Females With Photobiomodulation (Low-Level Laser Therapy)
Low-level laser therapy effectively treats female hair loss, increasing hair count by 51%.
research Multifaceted role of hair follicle dermal cells in bioengineered skins
Human hair follicle dermal cells can effectively replace other cells in engineered skin.
