Topical Serenoa repens in men was reported to increase hair counts in an open pilot. Micromotor FUE harvesting was reported to raise graft yields per session with natural results. A 20-SNP genetic model was found to predict male pattern baldness with moderate accuracy in a European panel. Lacking collagen VI in mice was shown to enhance wound-induced hair regrowth.
- Treatment of male androgenetic alopecia with topical products containing<i>S</i><i>erenoa repens</i>extract In a 50-man open pilot, topical Serenoa repens increased hair counts at 12 and 24 weeks with limited side effects.
- Follicular Unit Extraction Hair Transplantation with Micromotor: Eight Years Experience In 1000 FUE hair transplants, micromotor harvesting raised average grafts to 2500 per session with natural results and low morbidity.
- Response to microneedling treatment in men with androgenetic alopecia who failed to respond to conventional therapy In four men unresponsive to finasteride and minoxidil, adding microneedling produced new hair growth sustained for 18 months.
- Evaluation of DNA Variants Associated with Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Potential to Predict Male Pattern Baldness A 20-SNP genetic model predicted male pattern baldness with moderate accuracy in a European test panel.
- Lack of Collagen VI Promotes Wound-Induced Hair Growth In mice, lacking collagen VI enhanced wound-induced hair regrowth via Wnt/β-catenin, suggesting a new therapeutic target.
- Treatment of permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia with low dose oral minoxidil A woman with permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia showed cosmetically significant regrowth on low-dose oral minoxidil.
- Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22 In mice, microRNA miR-22 drives hair follicle regression; deleting it delays catagen and speeds regrowth.
- Microstrip technique in follicular unit extraction describes a microstrip technique in follicular unit extraction.
- Hair regrowth through wound healing process after ablative fractional laser treatment in a murine model Ablative fractional CO2 laser induced hair regrowth via Wnt/β-catenin activation in mice.
- Anti-PDGF receptor β antibody-conjugated squarticles loaded with minoxidil for alopecia treatment by targeting hair follicles and dermal papilla cells Antibody-targeted lipid nanoparticles tripled follicular minoxidil uptake in mice and boosted dermal papilla cell growth.
