research Drug Repurposing - Hypothesis, Molecular Aspects and Therapeutic Applications
Drug repurposing is a cost-effective way to find new uses for existing drugs, speeding up treatment development.
research Influence of massage and occlusion on the ex vivo skin penetration of rigid liposomes and invasomes
Massage increases how deep both rigid and flexible liposomes can go into skin, with flexible ones going deeper, and covering the skin (occlusion) helps rigid ones more.
research Desferrioxamine treatment of aceruloplasminemia: Long‐term follow‐up
Finasteride may help reduce symptoms in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Ephrins Negatively Regulate Cell Proliferation in the Epidermis and Hair Follicle
Ephrins slow down skin and hair follicle cell growth.
research In vitro skin permeation of monoolein nanoparticles containing hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin/minoxidil complex
Nanoparticles improve minoxidil skin permeation, but more research needed for effective hair growth.
research Refinement of Technique in Injection Lipolysis Based on Scientific Studies and Clinical Evaluation
Injection lipolysis effectively reduces small fat deposits and should be done with care and proper patient selection.
research Dermoscopy: what's new?
Dermoscopy has improved skin cancer diagnosis and has expanding applications in dermatology, but requires staying updated with new research and techniques.
research Effect of topical application of raspberry ketone on dermal production of insulin-like growth factor-I in mice and on hair growth and skin elasticity in humans
Raspberry ketone may help grow hair and improve skin elasticity.
research Finasteride versus cyproterone acetate-estrogen regimens in the treatment of hirsutism
Finasteride and CPA-EE2 equally reduce hirsutism, but affect hormone levels differently.
research Rhythmic expression of circadian clock genes in human leukocytes and beard hair follicle cells
Human leukocytes and beard hair follicle cells have internal daily clocks, and PER1 and PER3 genes may indicate individual circadian rhythms.
research Guidelines for the management of androgenetic alopecia (2010)
Use minoxidil for hair loss treatment, and finasteride for men.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research Positive lymphocyte transformation test in a patient with allergic contact dermatitis of the scalp after short-term use of topical minoxidil solution
Patient had scalp allergy from minoxidil; test helped identify cause and suggest alternative treatments.
research Minoxidil exerts different inhibitory effects on gene expression of lysyl hydroxylase 1, 2, and 3: Implications for collagen cross-linking and treatment of fibrosis
Minoxidil affects collagen-related genes, potentially helping treat fibrosis.
research Facial Hair Restoration
Facial hair restoration is generally successful and satisfying for patients when done with quality techniques and realistic expectations.
research Testosterone therapy in women: Myths and misconceptions
Testosterone therapy is beneficial for women's health and does not cause masculinization or liver damage, and it protects the heart and breasts.
research Binary and ternary inclusion complexes of finasteride in HPβCD and polymers: Preparation and characterization
Finasteride complexes with HPβCD and polymers improve solubility, potentially enhancing hair loss treatment.
research Preparation of novel polymeric microspheres for controlled release of finasteride
PPCM microspheres allow controlled finasteride release over 24 hours.
research Recent advances in thiasteroids chemistry

research Fullerene nanomaterials potentiate hair growth
Fullerene nanomaterials help hair grow faster and increase hair follicles.
research Effect of finasteride on behavioural arousal and somatosensory evoked potentials in fetal sheep
Finasteride may affect fetal brain development and increase arousal, but more research is needed for safety confirmation.
research A hair growth questionnaire for use in the evaluation of therapeutic effects in men
The questionnaire effectively measures men's perceived hair growth and can distinguish between different treatments and dosages.
research Autoimmune Disease and Hair Loss
Autoimmune diseases can cause hair loss, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent damage.
research Origin, Clinical Presentation, and Diagnosis of Facial Hypermelanoses
Facial dark spots can be caused by the sun, genetics, makeup, or medicine, and are diagnosed by patient history and skin tests.
research Enzyme Treatment of Wool and Specialty Hair Fibers
