July 2023 in “British journal of dermatology/British journal of dermatology, Supplement” This study investigated age-related changes in female scalp dermal fibroblasts, finding alterations in gene and protein expressions associated with fibrosis and senescence, which could potentially affect hair follicle health and contribute to aging-related hair changes.
March 2026 in “Skin Appendage Disorders” This study identified CD28, GZMB, and CD1C as key immune regulators in alopecia areata, highlighting CD28 as a potential therapeutic target with a promising safety profile, using a proteome-anchored multi-omics approach to uncover actionable targets for this autoimmune hair-loss disorder.
November 2025 in “Analytical Chemistry” This study developed an ultrahigh-power sonicator to improve protein extraction from hair shafts, followed by advanced proteomic analysis, identifying 239 differentially expressed proteins in fetal growth restriction cases compared to healthy controls, which were validated as potential biomarkers for perinatal diagnostics.
