September 2025 in “Cureus” This systematic review found conflicting evidence on hair loss related to GLP-1 receptor agonists in adults with type 2 diabetes or obesity, with some studies noting hair regrowth and others reporting hair loss as a side effect. Further research is needed to understand this relationship.
This study found that MEIS2 expression in neural crest-derived cells is crucial for whisker and trigeminal nerve development in the mesenchyme, indicating an early role in epithelial placode formation and dermal condensation, independent of sensory innervation or Foxd1 expression.
February 2025 in “Scientific Reports” In this study, lipid metabolism was found to be reduced in scalp tissues of patients with androgenetic alopecia, and lipid supplementation enhanced hair growth-related gene expression in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting a potential role for lipids in promoting hair growth through HIF-1 signaling.
January 2025 in “Human Reproduction Open” This study found that approximately 26% of women with Type 1 diabetes have undiagnosed androgen disorders, with polycystic ovary syndrome being the most common, particularly in those with premenarcheal onset of diabetes.
January 2025 in “Repository of Digital Objects for Teaching Research and Culture (University of Valencia)” This chapter emphasizes that ethical behavior and leadership are crucial for organizations to sustain long-term success and maintain positive relationships with stakeholders, transcending merely legal compliance.
December 2024 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study found that OCT4-overexpressing human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells show promise for artificial hematopoiesis by enhancing self-renewal through cytoskeletal remodeling and the beta-catenin-dependent adherens junction pathway.
November 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that lipid supplementation can enhance hair growth by promoting trichogenic gene expression and proliferation of human dermal papilla cells, suggesting lipids as a potential therapeutic target for treating hair loss through HIF-1 signaling pathways.
October 2024 in “SPIRE - Sciences Po Institutional REpository” This study highlights that human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and glypicans play crucial roles in regulating hair follicle stem cell differentiation.
November 2023 in “Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This study found that both oral and topical formulations of VISPOTM, a saw palmetto oil, significantly reduced hair fall and increased hair density in subjects with androgenetic alopecia, with no serious adverse effects observed.
October 2023 in “Sinkron” This study demonstrated that a CNN-based model using VGG-16 architecture achieved a 94.5% accuracy in classifying ten types of hair diseases, implying a promising tool for aiding health professionals in diagnosing hair conditions accurately.
January 2023 in “Integrative Journal of Medical Sciences” This report presents a case of a child with hypothyroidism and poorly controlled type 1 diabetes developing both Mauriac syndrome and Van Wyk–Grumbach syndrome, two rare complications.
January 2023 in “International Journal of Zoological Investigations” This study identified that certain genetic polymorphisms in IL-16 are associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata in an Iraqi population.
This study used molecular dynamics simulations to illustrate the complex molecular behavior of the hair surface F-layer, highlighting how fatty acids interact with 18-MEA under different conditions.
April 2017 in “The Journal of urology/The journal of urology” This Cochrane review reports that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may slightly reduce urological symptoms and acute urinary retention risk compared to placebo, with a possible small reduction in surgical intervention need compared to alpha blockers.
January 2017 in “IMC Journal of Medical Science” This case report describes a 26-year-old man from Bangladesh diagnosed with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1, a rare endocrine disorder involving adrenocortical insufficiency, hypoparathyroidism, and mucocutaneous candidiasis.
The document recommends a multidisciplinary approach and experience sharing to advance facial feminization surgery as a medical field.
This study found that human hair follicles can be used to generate induced pluripotent stem cells, which can then efficiently differentiate back into keratinocytes.
