March 2011 in “Journal of proteomics” This study found that exposing dermal papilla cells to sub-lethal doses of colchicine releases histone H4, which inhibits cell growth and decreases alkaline phosphatase activity, potentially explaining colchicine-induced hair loss.
July 2026 in “Nature Communications” This study reports that brief exposure to low intensity and low frequency ultrasound was able to transiently break cellular microtubules and mitigate hair follicle damage, suggesting a potential method to prevent hair loss during chemotherapy with taxanes like paclitaxel.

December 2003 in “Planta” This study found that hypaphorine alters cytoskeletal organization in Eucalyptus globulus root hairs, contributing to reduced root hair elongation by possibly disrupting vesicle delivery needed for growth.

February 2023 in “Environmental and experimental botany” This review discusses the role of jasmonic acid and its conjugates in enhancing plant stress tolerance and balancing growth and defense mechanisms but provides no new experimental data.
April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study provides ex vivo proof-of-principle that low-intensity ultrasound may protect human hair follicles from paclitaxel-induced damage, potentially reducing chemotherapy-related alopecia.
