research ISID1403 - Melatonin protects K15+ human hair follicle stem cells against paclitaxel-induced damage ex vivo
In this pilot study, researchers found that ex vivo treatment with topical melatonin reduced chemotherapy-induced apoptosis and DNA damage in hair follicle stem cells of human scalp cultures, suggesting melatonin's potential as a protective agent against taxane-induced permanent hair loss.
