January 2022 in “Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics” This scoping review explores devices that mechanically process lipoaspirate for cell-based therapies but finds insufficient evidence to determine their clinical effectiveness due to lack of standardization and data variability.
June 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This narrative review from the authors discusses mechanical scalp stimulation as a potential treatment for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting it has a biologically plausible mechanism but immature clinical evidence; marketing of these devices currently outpaces their supporting data, indicating a need for better-controlled trials.
June 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This narrative review suggests that while mechanical scalp stimulation has a plausible mechanism for aiding androgenetic alopecia, its clinical evidence is insufficient, and the marketing of stimulation devices currently outpaces their efficacy data.
