August 2025 in “Macromolecular Bioscience” This study found that microneedles co-delivering minoxidil and a nitric oxide donor effectively promoted hair growth and follicle transition to the growth phase in an alopecia mouse model, suggesting a promising new approach for androgenetic alopecia treatment.
December 2025 in “Chemical Biology & Drug Design” This study suggests that hesperidin may regulate pathways in hair follicle cells to help mitigate hair loss, revealing molecular mechanisms of nitric oxide donor-mediated hair follicle protection.
