Mycorrhiza helps trifoliate orange grow better roots and handle drought.
research The pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome: trying to understand PCOS and its endocrinology
The conclusion is that PCOS is caused by ovarian sensitivity to hormones and disrupted hormone control, possibly due to ovarian factors, and more research is needed.
research Macrophages Regulate Schwann Cell Maturation after Nerve Injury
Macrophages help heal nerves by aiding the maturation of Schwann cells and are important for nerve repair.
research Tregs: Where We Are and What Comes Next?
The conclusion is that Treg-targeted therapies have potential, but more knowledge of Treg biology is needed for effective treatments, including for cancer.
research In vitro and in vivo evaluation of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles for topical applications: effect of surface coating and loading into hydrogels
Silver nanoparticles coated with substances like PEG showed strong antibacterial effects and improved wound healing when used in hydrogels.
research Cells within the bulge region of mouse hair follicle transiently proliferate during early anagen: heterogeneity and functional differences of various hair cycles
Mouse hair follicle cells briefly grow during the early hair growth phase, showing that these cells are important for starting the hair cycle.
research Hormesis and medicine
Low doses of some substances can be beneficial, while high doses can be harmful or toxic.
research A randomized placebo-controlled multicentre study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of finasteride for male chronic pelvic pain syndrome (category IIIA chronic nonbacterial prostatitis).
Finasteride may help some male chronic pelvic pain patients, but more research needed.
research Isotretinoin treatment of acne and related disorders: An update
Isotretinoin effectively treats severe acne and similar conditions, but has common, mostly reversible side effects, requiring careful patient monitoring.
research What’s Sex Got to Do With COVID-19? Gender-Based Differences in the Host Immune Response to Coronaviruses
Men generally have more severe COVID-19 cases and higher death rates than women due to biological differences.

Cepharanthine is a well-tolerated drug with multiple medical uses, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
research Dermal Adipocyte Lipolysis and Myofibroblast Conversion Are Required for Efficient Skin Repair
Fat cells in the skin help start healing and form important repair cells after injury.
research Central Opioid Inhibition of Neuroendocrine Stress Responses in Pregnancy in the Rat Is Induced by the Neurosteroid Allopregnanolone
In late pregnancy, allopregnanolone reduces stress responses in rats by affecting brain chemicals.
research Allergic contact dermatitis to topical minoxidil solution: Etiology and treatment
Minoxidil can cause skin allergy; use alternative solvents or treatments if allergic.
research From causes of aging to death from COVID-19
Older age and related diseases increase COVID-19 risk, but anti-aging treatments might help.
research Molecular basis of androgenetic alopecia: From androgen to paracrine mediators through dermal papilla
Male pattern baldness involves hormones and cell signals affecting hair growth.
research Differential Auxin-Transporting Activities of PIN-FORMED Proteins in Arabidopsis Root Hair Cells
Different PIN proteins affect plant root hair growth by changing how auxin is transported.
