Study of New Candidate Substances for Treating Hair Loss Related to Cell Damage Caused by Intermittent Fever

The study investigated the effects of repetitive intermittent fever on normal human dermal fibroblast (NHDF) cells and evaluated the potential of ibuprofen, menthol, and cetirizine as candidate drugs for treating alopecia. It was found that these drugs could prevent or slow down cell damage caused by intermittent fever, which is associated with early alopecia. The study emphasized the importance of aggressive preventative intervention with these drugs before the complete destruction of hair follicles due to excessive repetitive fever, suggesting their potential use in future alopecia therapies.
