August 2005 in “Experimental Dermatology” In this study, the researchers report that a modified epimorphin-derived peptide shows potential for hair follicle regeneration, especially when used with 1% minoxidil in mice.
June 2025 in “Molecular Therapy — Nucleic Acids” In this study, researchers identified a specific DNA aptamer, Ap.OR2AT4.17, that effectively prolonged hair growth and increased hair shaft elongation in organ-cultured human hair follicles by targeting the olfactory receptor OR2AT4. This finding suggests the aptamer's potential as a novel therapy for hair loss disorders.
