Hair can measure exposure to radioisotopes.

Ceramide helps protect African–American hair from breakage.

Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.

Micro-Imager® helps see how drugs spread in human skin.

Dihydrotestosterone specifically binds to hamster sebaceous glands, with a higher affinity than testosterone.

Sheep wool follicles can metabolize both glucose and acetate using different pathways important for wool growth.

Topical tacalcitol can treat psoriasis by acting directly on skin cells.

Minoxidil boosts hair growth by undergoing a process in hair follicles and certain skin cells, and by increasing the production of compounds essential for hair growth and maintenance.

The nanoparticles show promise for cancer treatment and diagnosis with fewer side effects.

Finasteride is mostly broken down in the body and excreted in urine and feces.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) boosts hair follicle growth and speeds up hair cycle transition.

A more sensitive assay was developed to detect enzyme activity converting arginine to citrulline in hair follicles.

Minoxidil absorbs poorly through skin, with low risk of side effects at 1-2% concentration.

Human platelets change minoxidil to minoxidil sulfate, helping blood vessels widen.

Testosterone conversion to 5α-DHT may not be essential for its effects on the skin.

Vitamin D3 affects cell differentiation in specific skin areas.

Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.

Minoxidil controls blood pressure effectively, but may cause side effects like hypertrichosis.

Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne but less so for hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.
