Genomic approach finds new possible treatments for hair loss.
research Costunolide—A Bioactive Sesquiterpene Lactone with Diverse Therapeutic Potential
Costunolide may have multiple health benefits, including promoting hair growth and protecting against cancer and diabetes, but more research is needed.
research A multicentre placebo‐controlled clinical trial on the efficacy of oral ciclosporin A in the treatment of canine idiopathic sebaceous adenitis in comparison with conventional topical treatment
Oral ciclosporin A and topical treatments both reduce hair loss and scaling in dogs with sebaceous adenitis, but using both together is most effective.
research Stem Cells and the Niche: A Dynamic Duo
Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Review
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia's cause is unclear, affects mainly postmenopausal women, and current treatments focus on stopping hair loss rather than regrowth.
research Clinical and demographic factors associated with nail involvement in adult alopecia areata patients at Al-Kadhmia teaching hospital, Baghdad, 2023
Nail changes in alopecia areata are common and may indicate severity and genetic risk.
research Loss‐of‐function of Endothelin receptor type A results in Oro‐Oto‐Cardiac syndrome
A mutation in the EDNRA gene causes Oro-Oto-Cardiac syndrome, affecting face and heart development.

Quinoline alkaloids from Cinchona may help treat cancer, diabetes, fungal infections, and promote hair growth.
research Cutaneous Manifestations in Biological-Treated Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients: A Narrative Review
Biologic treatments for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can cause skin problems, and doctors should adjust treatment if these occur.
research Use of Vitamins and Minerals in the Treatment of Hair Loss: A Cross-Sectional Survey among Dermatologists in Saudi Arabia
Many dermatologists in Saudi Arabia recommend vitamins and minerals for hair loss, often based on personal experience rather than strong evidence.
research Is polycystic ovary syndrome a sexual conflict? A review
The conclusion suggests that PCOS may persist due to genetic traits that, while harmful for female fertility, could have provided survival and reproductive benefits to males.
research Long-term control of epileptic drop attacks with the combination of valproate, lamotrigine, and a benzodiazepine: A ‘proof of concept,’ open label study
The drug combination significantly reduced epileptic drop attacks in patients.
research Treatment of chemotherapy-induced alopecia
Scalp cooling can prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, and certain treatments can speed up hair regrowth, but more research is needed for better treatments.
research Evidence-based approach to cutaneous hyperandrogenism in women
The conclusion is that oral contraceptives and antiandrogens can treat hirsutism and acne in women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, but more research is needed for effective treatments, especially for hair loss.
research Novel progestogenic androgens for male contraception: design, synthesis, and activity of C7 α-substituted testosterone
New testosterone analogs show promise for male contraception with better activity and potentially fewer side effects.
research Realising the therapeutic potential of neuroactive steroid modulators of the GABAA receptor
Neuroactive steroids show promise for treating mental and neurological disorders by targeting GABA_A receptors.
research Mechanism of action of herbs and their active constituents used in hair loss treatment
Some herbs and their components might help treat hair loss by affecting various biological pathways, but more research and regulation are needed.
research The importance of dual 5α-reductase inhibition in the treatment of male pattern hair loss: Results of a randomized placebo-controlled study of dutasteride versus finasteride
Dutasteride more effective for hair growth, but has more side effects than finasteride.
research Identification and molecular characterization of a new ovarian cancer susceptibility locus at 17q21.31
A new genetic region, 17q21.31, is linked to higher ovarian cancer risk.
research Maternal PPARγ protects nursing neonates by suppressing the production of inflammatory milk
A mother's PPARγ is crucial for preventing harmful milk that can cause inflammation and growth problems in babies.
research A multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial of a novel formulation of 5% minoxidil topical foam versus placebo in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men
New 5% minoxidil foam effectively promotes hair growth and is safe for use.
research Systematic approach to hair loss in women
A systematic approach is crucial for managing hair loss in women.
research The hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin‐minoxidil inclusion complex improves the cardiovascular and proliferative adverse effects of minoxidil in male rats: Implications in the treatment of alopecia
A new gel form of minoxidil is equally effective for hair growth and safer for the heart and other organs than the traditional solution.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research A New Look at the 5?-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research Dermatosurgical techniques for repigmentation of vitiligo
Surgical methods like suction blister grafting and split-thickness skin grafting are highly successful for vitiligo repigmentation, but choosing the right patients is crucial for success.
research The diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency and its potential relationship to hair loss
