research Aromatic plants as cosmeceuticals: benefits and applications for skin health
Aromatic plants can naturally help prevent skin aging and improve skin health.
research 5α-Reductase type 1 inhibition of Oryza sativa bran extract prepared by supercritical carbon dioxide fluid
Rice bran extract might help prevent hair loss.
research Androgen receptor: A promising therapeutic target in breast cancer
The androgen receptor is a promising target for breast cancer treatment, especially in triple-negative cases, but more research is needed for personalized therapies.
research 5α-Reductase isozymes and aromatase mRNA levels in plucked hair from young women with female pattern hair loss
Higher enzyme levels found in women with hair loss, suggesting hormone imbalance.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Finasteride improves motor, EEG, and cellular changes in rat brain in thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy
Finasteride helps brain function in rats with liver-related brain issues.
research Enhancing hair follicle regeneration by nonablative fractional laser: Assessment of irradiation parameters and tissue response
Using a fractional laser can stimulate hair growth, but the intensity and duration of inflammation are crucial. Too much can cause ulcers and scarring. Lower beam energy and fewer treatments are recommended to avoid damage.
research Stem cell apoptosis in HIV‐1 alopecia
HIV-1 may cause increased stem cell death in hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
research Recent updates on Wnt signaling modulators: a patent review (2014-2020)
New patents show progress in developing drugs targeting the Wnt pathway for diseases like cancer and hair loss.
research Dengue Virus Infects Primary Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Dengue virus can infect human hair follicle cells and may cause hair loss.
research The significance of the apelinergic system in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity
The apelinergic system might protect the heart from damage caused by doxorubicin.
research Quorum sensing and other collective regenerative behavior in organ populations
Organs like hair follicles can renew themselves in complex ways, adapting to different needs and environments.
research Complex Changes in the Apoptotic and Cell Differentiation Programs during Initiation of the Hair Follicle Response to Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy causes complex changes in hair follicle cells that can lead to hair loss.
research The effect of Lactobacillus plantarum hydrolysates promoting VEGF production on vascular growth and hair growth of C57BL/6 mice
Lactobacillus plantarum hydrolysates may help increase hair growth by boosting VEGF production.
research The therapeutic promise of apoptosis
Blocking cell death in certain stem cells can improve wound healing and tissue regeneration.
research Exploring caspase functions in mouse models
Caspases affect many cell functions and could help treat various diseases.
research Oral administration of berberine represses macrophage activation-associated benign prostatic hyperplasia: a pivotal involvement of the NF-κB
Berberine may reduce prostate enlargement by blocking inflammation.
research T-cell “induced-self” MHC class I/peptide complexes may enable “de novo” tolerance induction to neo-antigens occurring outside of the thymus
Hair follicles may help teach the immune system to tolerate new self-antigens, but this can sometimes cause hair loss.
research Anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperplastic effect of Bazhengsan in a male rat model of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis
Bazhengsan reduces inflammation and tissue growth in chronic prostatitis.
research Effect of ethanol Adiantum capillus-veneris extract in experimental models of anxiety and depression
Maidenhair fern extract reduced anxiety and depression in rats and may work due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
research Effects of the biomimetic peptide Sh-Polypeptide 9 (CG-VEGF) on cocultures of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and microvascular endothelial cells
Sh-Polypeptide 9 may be better than minoxidil for hair growth and protection against damage.
research Elucidating the anti-aging mechanism of Si Jun Zi Tang by integrating network pharmacology and experimental validation in vivo
Si Jun Zi Tang may slow aging by affecting specific cell signaling pathways.
research In silico analysis of ethyl acetate Bruguiera gymnorhiza leaf extracts as an anti-inflammatory agent
Bruguiera gymnorhiza leaf extracts show potential for developing anti-inflammatory drugs.
research RETRACTED ARTICLE: Pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo subsp. ovifera) decoction promotes Trichinella spiralis expulsion during intestinal phase via “Weep and Sweep” mechanism
Pumpkin seeds may help expel parasites, but findings are retracted.
research K15 promoter-driven enforced expression of NKIRAS exhibits tumor suppressive activity against the development of DMBA/TPA-induced skin tumors
NKIRAS2 can suppress certain skin tumors but its effect on cancer varies with context and expression level.
research Efficacy and Influence Factors of 308‐nm Excimer Lamp with Minoxidil in the Treatment of Alopecia Areata
Using a 308-nm excimer lamp with minoxidil promotes hair growth in Alopecia Areata patients, especially younger ones or those with smaller bald spots.
research Safety and efficacy of oral administrated cepharanthine in non-hospitalized, asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 patients: a Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial
Cepharanthine is safe but not effective in significantly reducing COVID-19 recovery time.
research Lymphatic vessel: origin, heterogeneity, biological functions, and therapeutic targets
Lymphatic vessels are essential for health and can be targeted to treat various diseases.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia and inflammatory bowel disease – is there a link?
