Food And Medicine Homology: A Potential Nutritional Intervention Strategy For Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome

This study developed a gas-propelled microneedle patch with puerarin/quercetin nanoparticles, which demonstrated improved hair-regenerating effects in an androgenetic alopecia mouse model by increasing drug delivery, alleviating oxidative stress, promoting angiogenesis, and rejuvenating senescent cells.

This review highlights the potential of TCM medicinal foods for managing post-COVID disorders and suggests they could provide a safe and efficient long-term therapy due to their milder nature.

In this study, Allium macrostemon Bunge extract was found to promote hair regrowth in a testosterone-induced androgenetic alopecia mouse model by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling and boosting hair dermal papilla cell proliferation and growth factor expression.

In this study, researchers developed a nanocomposite microneedle patch containing copper/zinc dual-doped silica nanoparticles, which release substances to promote hair follicle regeneration by targeting various pathophysiological aspects of androgenic alopecia, presenting an effective anti-hair loss treatment strategy.

In this study, topical quercetin was found to stimulate hair follicle growth and promote microvascular regrowth in mice, suggesting its potential for hair regrowth strategies.

This review discusses post-COVID hair loss, attributing it to potential pathogenic factors like cytokines and viral effects, and suggests that full recovery without specific treatment is expected.

This review discusses evidence-based complementary strategies for enhancing hair regrowth after post-COVID-19 telogen effluvium and reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that COVID-19 infection may trigger telogen effluvium, a condition of hair shedding, though medication side effects and pandemic-related stress cannot be excluded as contributing factors.
