April 2026 in “Inflammopharmacology” This study found that Punica granatum ethanolic leaf extract may alleviate skin fibrosis in rats by modulating inflammation-related pathways and reducing dermal alterations.
October 2025 in “Cell Proliferation” In laboratory research, investigators found that apoptotic vesicles from interleukin-10-treated fibroblasts promote wound healing and reduce fibrotic scarring by enhancing mitochondrial function, modulating collagen composition, and inhibiting the Hedgehog signalling pathway, offering potential for regenerative medicine applications.
September 2023 in “Medicine” This study found increased infiltration of specific immune cells, such as γδ T cells and CD8+ T cells, in the bald scalp of male androgenetic alopecia patients, and identified four key immune-related genes potentially involved in hair loss development through interferon-γ signaling pathways.
This review discusses the role of perifollicular fibrosis in androgenetic alopecia and explores potential anti-fibrotic therapies targeting specific signaling pathways, but it reports no new clinical results.
