January 2023 in “International Journal of Biological Sciences” In this study, miR-221 was identified as a key factor in androgenetic alopecia pathogenesis due to its role in suppressing hair growth by interacting with androgen receptors and affecting related pathways.
February 2026 in “Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy” In this study, researchers developed EPO-derived peptides that enhanced hair growth by stimulating dermal papilla cells and increasing IGF-1 expression without triggering systemic erythropoietic effects in tested models, indicating a promising approach for treating hair loss.
