This study outlines a planned double-blind, randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of two different doses of PRP injections for moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, focusing on variations in symptom severity, ultrasound parameters, and nerve electrophysiology, though results are not yet reported.
June 2025 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study reported that intradermal injections of stem cell exosomes appeared safe and significantly improved hair density and diameter in male androgenetic alopecia patients over 24 weeks, suggesting the therapy may be a promising new treatment option worthy of further investigation.
In this case report, a 65-year-old woman with lichen planopilaris achieved stabilization of her condition through early recognition and systemic corticosteroid therapy, emphasizing the critical role of coordinated management between primary care and dermatology.
This study found that treating male rats with human hair follicle stem cells improved memory function impaired by streptozotocin and increased both neurotrophic and inflammatory markers, suggesting potential neuroprotective effects in this model.
The research examined Crown-X, a novel formulation containing Menstrual Stem Cells, and found that it promoted significant proliferation of human dermal papilla cells, suggesting its potential as a non-invasive treatment for male pattern baldness. Future clinical trials are necessary to confirm its efficacy.
In this case study, a nine-year-old boy with alopecia universalis following severe chickenpox showed complete hair regrowth after treatment with tofacitinib, suggesting the drug's potential in managing varicella-zoster virus-induced alopecia by modulating immune responses.
This study evaluated the effect of intralesional injections of lyophilized Platelet Derived Growth Factors in 42 patients with Peyronie's disease and found significant reductions in penile curvature and plaque size, along with improvements in Peyronie's Disease Questionnaire scores, suggesting a potential treatment role.
In this clinical case study, a 30-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus was diagnosed with both catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome and acquired haemophilia A, successfully treated with immunosuppressive therapy, plasma exchange, and IVIG, leading to a favourable outcome.
May 2025 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that conditioned medium from photobiomodulation-irradiated adipose-derived stromal cells enhanced hair growth in a mouse model of hair loss more effectively than non-irradiated medium, suggesting potential for treating alopecia by boosting growth factor secretion.
In this study, researchers found no significant differences in the serum levels of DHEAs, DHT, and testosterone between female patients with oral lichen planus and healthy controls, suggesting no neuroendocrine etiology is associated with this condition.
