research Unmet Medical Needs in Chronic, Non-communicable Inflammatory Skin Diseases
There are still challenges in diagnosing and treating chronic skin diseases, but there is hope for future improvements.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research The prostamide‐related glaucoma therapy, bimatoprost, offers a novel approach for treating scalp alopecias
Bimatoprost, a glaucoma medication, may also help treat hair loss.
research Diet in dermatology: Revisited
Certain diets can affect skin conditions, but more research is needed to understand these relationships fully.

New treatments targeting skin stem cells show promise for skin repair, anti-aging, and cancer therapy.
research Resveratrol derivatives: a patent review (2009 – 2012)
New resveratrol-related compounds show promise for treating various health issues but need more research for clinical use.
research Clinical management of cutaneous adverse events in patients on targeted anticancer therapies and immunotherapies: a national consensus statement by the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology and the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology
Spanish experts provided guidelines for treating skin side effects in cancer patients on new therapies, stressing early action and teamwork.
research Cutaneous toxicities of new treatments for melanoma
New melanoma treatments can cause skin side effects, including skin cancer and rashes, but combining treatments may reduce these risks.
research Combined Oral Contraception and Bicalutamide in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Severe Hirsutism: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Birth control pills combined with bicalutamide are more effective at reducing excessive hair growth in women with PCOS than birth control pills alone.
