research A randomized, investigator-blinded, controlled, split-scalp study of the efficacy and safety of a 1550-nm fractional erbium-glass laser, used in combination with topical 5% minoxidil versus 5% minoxidil alone, for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
Laser and minoxidil combo promotes better hair growth than minoxidil alone, safely.
research Randomized trial of electrodynamic microneedle combined with 5% minoxidil topical solution for the treatment of Chinese male Androgenetic alopecia
Combining electrodynamic microneedle with 5% minoxidil improves hair growth and reduces hair loss in Chinese men.
research Review of the effects of 17α-estradiol in humans: a less feminizing estrogen with neuroprotective potential
17α-estradiol is a safe estrogen that might protect the brain and doesn't cause feminization, needing more research for treating brain diseases.
research Age dependence of the cardiac lesions induced by minoxidil in the rat
Older rats more affected by minoxidil's cardiotoxic effects than younger rats.
research Characterization of minoxidil/hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex in aqueous alginate gel useful for alopecia management: Efficacy evaluation in male rat
The gel made of minoxidil and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin improves hair growth and is good for long-term use.
research Simultaneous effects of tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) on local hair growth promotion and systemic absorption of topically applied minoxidil in a mouse model
Adding a small amount of TPGS to minoxidil can help hair growth, but too much TPGS reduces this effect and increases minoxidil in the blood.
research Cyproterone Acetate: A Genotoxic Carcinogen?
Cyproterone acetate may cause liver cancer at high doses, but is considered safe at recommended doses for approved uses.
research Canine Sertoli cell tumor: anti-Müllerian hormone, inhibin B, and estrone sulphate
The dog's skin condition improved after removing a tumor that was causing hormone imbalances.
research Annotated Patent Selections
The document highlights various patents for new compounds with potential treatments for multiple diseases, including cancer, hormonal disorders, and diabetes.
research The current treatments and perspectives for androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride and minoxidil are the main effective treatments for hair loss from androgenetic alopecia.
research Identification of the sulfotransferase iso-enzyme primarily responsible for the bio-activation of topical minoxidil.
A specific enzyme that activates the hair growth medication minoxidil when applied to the skin was identified.
research Vertebral epidermal transamidases
Transamidases are present in the epidermis but their exact role is unclear.
research Minoxidil Sulfate Is the Active Metabolite that Stimulates Hair Follicles
Minoxidil sulfate stimulates hair growth.
research Transdermal Permeation of Drugs in Various Animal Species
Pig skin is a good substitute for human skin to measure drug absorption, but differences in skin structure and enzymes across species must be considered.
research Minoxidil and its use in hair disorders: a review
Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, but use cautiously and monitor side effects.
research Androgen actions on the human hair follicle: perspectives
Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.
research Role of cholesterol sulfate in epidermal structure and function: Lessons from X-linked ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research Ritlecitinib: First Approval
Ritlecitinib is approved in the USA and Japan for treating severe hair loss in people aged 12 and older.
research Sulfation of minoxidil by liver sulfotransferase
Liver enzyme helps minoxidil work better for blood vessel relaxation.
research Relationships between cerebrospinal fluid GABAergic neurosteroid levels and symptom severity in men with PTSD
Lower levels of certain brain chemicals are linked to worse PTSD symptoms in men.
research Enzymatic and non-enzymatic sulfation mechanisms in the biological actions of minoxidil
Minoxidil needs activation to work, and minoxidil sulfate helps with hair growth and blood pressure.
research Sulfatase inhibitors: a patent review
The document concludes that research on sulfatase inhibitors should continue due to their potential in treating various diseases, despite some clinical trial failures.
research Clinical utility and validity of minoxidil response testing in androgenetic alopecia
Minoxidil response testing helps treat hair loss effectively and safely.
research Xenobiotica-metabolizing enzymes in the skin of rat, mouse, pig, guinea pig, man, and in human skin models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research Food Deprivation-induced Expression of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase in the Hypothalamus Uncovered by Microarray Analysis
Food deprivation increases MST enzyme in the brain, possibly affecting energy balance.
research Novel and Established Potassium Channel Openers Stimulate Hair Growth In Vitro: Implications for their Modes of Action in Hair Follicles
Potassium channel openers like minoxidil help hair grow by acting on hair follicles.
research Low level light-minoxidil 5% combination versus either therapeutic modality alone in management of female patterned hair loss: A randomized controlled study
Combining low-level light therapy and minoxidil 5% is more effective for female hair loss than using either treatment alone.
research Sulfotransferase activity in plucked hair follicles predicts response to topical minoxidil in the treatment of female androgenetic alopecia
Sulfotransferase in hair follicles helps predict how well minoxidil works for female hair loss.
research Minoxidil: a comprehensive review
Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, especially androgenetic alopecia, but needs more research for better understanding.
