research Thermodynamic Modeling of the Gas-Antisolvent (GAS) Process for Precipitation of Finasteride
The Gas-Antisolvent process can be effectively modeled and optimized to create Finasteride, a hair growth drug.
research Differential Expression of miR-93 and miR-21 in Granulosa Cells and Follicular Fluid of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Associating with Different Phenotypes
The study found that certain microRNAs are higher in the cells and lower in the fluid of women with a specific type of polycystic ovary syndrome, and one microRNA could potentially help diagnose the condition.
research Neurotrophin-4 modulates the mechanotransducer Cav3.2 T-type calcium current in mice down-hair neurons
Neurotrophin-4 increases calcium current in specific mouse neurons through the PI3K pathway.
research 2-Substituted 4-(Thio)chromenone 6-O-Sulfamates: Potent Inhibitors of Human Steroid Sulfatase
New compounds were made that block an enzyme linked to breast cancer better than existing treatments.

The PP2A-B55α protein is essential for brain and skin development in embryos.
research Peer Review #2 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary, especially by ethnicity and body part, which could help identify individuals in forensic science.
research Deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl 4-hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-lineage mesenchymal cells leads to congenital truncal alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with the anti-androgen drug finasteride
Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.
