August 2008 in “The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism” In this study, T3 and T4 were found to directly influence human hair follicles in vitro, enhancing keratinocyte proliferation, prolonging the hair growth phase, and affecting pigmentation.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that ALRN-6924 effectively protected human hair follicles from cyclophosphamide-induced damage in an ex vivo setting, suggesting it may reduce both acute and permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia.
