research Rash from EGFR inhibitors: Opportunities and challenges for palliation
EGFR cancer drugs often cause a rash, which can lead to distress and isolation, but may also improve outcomes for some cancer patients. Current treatments for the rash are limited, but a compound called menadione shows promise.
research Reawakening GDNF's regenerative past in mice and humans
Activating the GDNF-GFRα1-RET signaling pathway could potentially promote skin and limb regeneration in humans and could be used to treat hair loss and promote wound healing.
research Associations Between GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and Alopecia: A Multi‐Centre Retrospective Analysis and Public Interest Trends
GLP-1 receptor agonists may increase the risk of a specific type of hair loss called androgenetic alopecia.
research Parathyroid hormone-related peptide and the hair cycle - is it the agonists or the antagonists that cause hair growth?
PTHRP agonists can stimulate hair growth, especially in damaged follicles, while antagonists may initially increase growth but ultimately inhibit it.
research The GPR30 agonist G-1 promotes hair growth via Wnt/Hedgehog signaling in mice
G-1 promotes hair growth in female mice by activating specific signaling pathways.
research Can we teach old drugs new tricks?—Repurposing of neuropharmacological drugs for inflammatory skin diseases
Old neuropharmacological drugs might be effective for treating inflammatory skin diseases.
research Inhibitory influence of agmatine on catamenial-like seizure susceptibility in progesterone withdrawn female rats
Agmatine may help reduce seizures linked to hormone changes in female rats.
research Oral Low-Dose Naltrexone in the Treatment of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Lichen Planopilaris: An Uncontrolled Open-Label Prospective Study
Low-dose naltrexone may help reduce redness in certain scalp conditions.
research Anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of 5alpha-reductase inhibitor finasteride in experimental animals
Finasteride helps reduce pain and inflammation in animals.
research Drug repurposing of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors for neutrophilic acute respiratory distress syndrome and psoriasis
CDK inhibitors may help treat ARDS and psoriasis but need more testing for safety and effectiveness.
research Real-world study of adverse events associated with gepant use in migraine treatment based on the VigiAccess and U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s adverse event reporting system databases
Rimegepant causes more nausea and skin issues, while ubrogepant causes more muscle issues; personalized treatment is important.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Nerve growth factor regulates the proliferation of cashmere goat outer root sheath cells through the activation of cAMP-binding protein
Nerve growth factor helps cashmere goat hair cells grow by activating a specific protein.
research Inhibition of 5α-reductase in the nucleus accumbens counters sensorimotor gating deficits induced by dopaminergic activation
Finasteride may help improve certain brain function issues linked to dopamine.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance or Chrousos Syndrome: Allostasis Through a Mutated Glucocorticoid Receptor
Chrousos Syndrome is caused by mutations that make the body less sensitive to glucocorticoids, leading to various symptoms and requiring high-dose treatment.
research New treatments for rheumatoid arthritis
New drugs for rheumatoid arthritis show improvement but have side effects and are not a cure.
research The role of pregnane neurosteroids in ethanol withdrawal: behavioral genetic approaches
Adjusting neurosteroid levels may help reduce alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
research Finasteride, a 5alpha-reductase enzyme inhibitor, alone and synergism with a neurosteroid reduces responsiveness to nociceptive stimuli in male rat
Finasteride reduces pain in male rats and works better with testosterone.
research Alopecia induced by dopamine agonists
Dopamine agonists like pramipexole and ropinirole can cause reversible hair loss.
research Nitric oxide-releasing nanocarriers integrated with ginsenoside compound K in dissolvable microneedles for androgenetic alopecia
The new microneedle system promotes hair growth by improving the hair follicle environment.
research PPAR-γ Agonists and Their Role in Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
PPAR-γ helps control skin oil glands and inflammation, and its disruption can cause hair loss diseases.
research Data from Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and Interleukin-1 Antagonists Alleviate Inflammatory Skin Changes Associated with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Antibody Therapy in Mice
TNFα and interleukin-1 blockers reduce skin inflammation from EGFR antibody therapy.
research N,N-Dimethylglycine Sodium Salt Exerts Marked Anti-Inflammatory Effects in Various Dermatitis Models and Activates Human Epidermal Keratinocytes by Increasing Proliferation, Migration, and Growth Factor Release
N,N-Dimethylglycine Sodium Salt helps reduce skin inflammation and improves skin cell growth and healing.
research Inhibition of a signaling modality within the gp130 receptor enhances tissue regeneration and mitigates osteoarthritis
Blocking a certain signal in the gp130 receptor can improve tissue healing and lessen osteoarthritis symptoms.
