July 2025 in “Frontiers in Pharmacology” The study demonstrates that cooling, when combined with antioxidants, effectively reduces chemotherapy-induced damage to human hair follicles by preventing cell apoptosis and maintaining hair follicle viability and functionality. This approach compensates for insufficient protection under less-than-ideal cooling conditions and shows promise for enhancing the effectiveness of scalp cooling in preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA), thereby potentially improving the quality of life for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
