August 2024 in “Clinical and Experimental Dermatology” The researchers presented new, practical photography protocols for hair loss assessment that clinicians can use even without formal medical photography units, aiming to standardize high-quality imaging in both clinical and research settings.
January 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This review discusses the evidence for platelet-rich plasma as a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting its potential benefits and favorable safety profile but noting the need for standardized protocols and larger trials.
In this study, centralised measurements provided more consistent and accurate results for assessing hair loss in mild-to-moderate alopecia areata, reducing error compared to local ratings.
October 2025 in “Frontiers in Medicine” This meta-analysis found that the combination of topical minoxidil-finasteride was more effective than minoxidil alone in improving hair density, hair diameter, and global photographic assessment for male androgenetic alopecia, though larger standardized trials are needed to confirm long-term outcomes.
