May 2024 in “Indian journal of pharmacy and pharmacology” This in-vitro study reported that a luliconazole-based formulation improved hair cuticle integrity and was more effective than ketoconazole in repairing damaged hair after 5 and 10 washes, with sensory analysis supporting these results. Further human studies are needed to confirm its clinical effects.
February 2026 in “Small Ruminant Research” This study found that specific genetic variations in the IRF2BP2 gene influence fleece structure in sheep, with one variant completely determining coat type and another significantly modifying fiber characteristics, providing valuable insights for improving fleece quality through selective breeding.
December 2025 in “Yassawi Journal of Health Sciences” This study found that trichoscopy is highly effective for diagnosing different types of alopecia, showing an average diagnostic accuracy of 90–95%, with specific features aiding in differentiating forms like androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. New technologies and AI improve interpretation objectivity, suggesting expanded clinical integration.
August 2025 in “Medicine and ecology” This review found that combining adipose-derived tissues and platelet-rich plasma improves fat graft survival and healing outcomes in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, but variability in methodologies limits study comparability.
May 2025 in “Medicine and ecology” This literature review highlights the widespread use of platelet-rich plasma in medicine but notes inconclusive evidence for its clinical efficacy due to specimen variability and unresolved methodological issues.
