May 2022 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This source notes that while low-dose oral minoxidil is effective for treating androgenetic alopecia, it has been associated with electrocardiogram changes and palpitations even at low doses.
3 citations
,
May 2018 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study reported that the most reliable way to differentiate alopecia areata from androgenic alopecia is by detecting intrafollicular CD3 and CD8 cell density, with CD3 being the most specific and sensitive marker.
3 citations
,
January 2018 This study reports a case of pustular allergic contact dermatitis following the use of 5% minoxidil solution in a female patient, highlighting an uncommon reaction to a frequently used dermatological treatment.
3 citations
,
January 2016 in “International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences” This study found that combination therapy using 2% minoxidil and PRP is more effective for hair growth in women with androgenetic alopecia than using minoxidil alone.

January 2014 In this study, the researchers developed and evaluated a Minoxidil emulgel formulation, finding that it had a higher drug release rate compared to Minoxidil gels.
December 2025 in “Meditsinskiy sovet = Medical Council” This case study highlights the importance of an integrated diagnostic and treatment approach for children with rare genetic disorders, as demonstrated in a 10-year-old girl with CNOT3 syndrome, characterized by symptoms like mental retardation, gastrointestinal issues, and unique facial features.
November 2025 in “Phytomedicine” Modified Changfa Zirong Powder improves hair growth in androgenetic alopecia.
November 2025 in “Quality in Sport” This review found that hydrolyzed collagen supplementation, particularly marine collagen, improves skin hydration, elasticity, and density while strengthening hair and nails, especially when paired with vitamin C and trace elements; however, more studies are necessary to evaluate long-term efficacy across different sources and demographics.
November 2025 in “Bioactive Materials” In this study, researchers developed a novel nucleic acid nanoparticle system incorporating quercetin, which they found enhances functional hair follicle regeneration and maintains epithelial structure stability in androgenetic alopecia by regulating hair follicle stem and dermal papilla cells.
November 2025 in “Skin Appendage Disorders” In this study, researchers found that combining topical 5% minoxidil with intradermal triamcinolone microinjections significantly improved hair density in women with androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone. However, further research is necessary to confirm these findings in a larger population.
November 2025 in “Advanced Science” In this study, researchers developed a polyphenol–amino acid nanozyme capable of controlled hydrogen peroxide delivery, which effectively activated hair follicles via oxidative stress in a mouse model, suggesting a potential non-pharmacological treatment for alopecia.
In this study, hair follicle neural crest stem cell-derived exosomes, especially those overexpressing miR-214-3p, significantly promoted axon extension and nerve regeneration in both in vitro and in vivo models, suggesting a promising therapeutic strategy for peripheral nerve injuries.
This study found that exosomes derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells significantly promoted nerve regeneration in injured neurons, particularly when overexpressing miR-214-3p, which enhanced axon extension and motor function recovery in both in vitro and in vivo models.
Fair skin, not red hair, affects health due to possible vitamin D deficiency.
January 2012 in “Surgical & Cosmetic Dermatology” This study found that a dietary supplement improved hair strength and shine in participants with hair damage from breakage.
December 2011 in “URMIA MEDICAL JOURNAL” This study concluded that the expression of specific glycoconjugate terminal sugars is developmentally regulated during rat hair follicle morphogenesis.
This study found no significant difference in serum ferritin levels between individuals with androgenetic alopecia and healthy controls, but reported lower ferritin levels in those with premature alopecia compared to adult-onset cases.
July 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that decreased TRPS1 expression in balding dermal papilla cells may impair their signaling ability, contributing to hair follicle miniaturization in androgenic alopecia.
June 2021 in “Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology” This study found that psoriasis, acne, and androgenetic alopecia are associated with an atherogenic lipid profile, suggesting an increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, especially among psoriasis patients.
August 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that a decrease in estradiol levels in women is associated with increased hair shedding due to weakened anchoring of telogen hairs.
April 2016 in “Dermatología Revista Mexicana” This experimental study found no significant difference in hair follicle characteristics after short-term treatment with autologous platelet-rich plasma in individuals with androgenic alopecia compared to placebo.
February 2015 in “Global journal of dermatology & venereology” This article discusses misconceptions surrounding finasteride for androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical findings; the authors advocate for its efficacy in reducing hair loss and restoring growth.
January 2009 in “Springer eBooks”
March 2000 in “The Journal of pharmacy technology” This review discusses the use of finasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia in men, noting its effectiveness in maintaining and regrowing hair on the scalp and top of the head.
