October 2021 in “Endokrynologia Polska” The study investigated the effects of levothyroxine on thyroid autoimmunity and hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis activity in men with autoimmune hypothyroidism, comparing those with early-onset androgenetic alopecia (n=24) to those without hair loss (n=24). Results showed that while levothyroxine decreased thyroid antibody titres and thyrotropin levels and increased free thyroid hormone levels in both groups, these effects were less pronounced in men with early-onset male-pattern baldness. The degree of reduction in antibody titres and thyrotropin levels correlated with baseline testosterone levels and insulin sensitivity. The study concludes that levothyroxine therapy benefits are less pronounced in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia.

April 2022 in “Pharmaceutics” The study demonstrated that a 5% minoxidil nanoparticle (MXD-NPs) formulation significantly enhanced hair growth in C57BL/6 mice compared to conventional minoxidil solutions. MXD-NPs, with a mean particle size of 139.8 nm, delivered 7.4 times higher concentrations of minoxidil to the hair bulge, leading to increased activation of hair follicle epithelial stem cells (HFSC). This resulted in higher mRNA and protein levels of hair growth factors IGF-1 and VEGF, and noticeable hair growth effects within 8 days. The findings suggest that MXD-NPs are more effective in promoting hair growth by targeting hair follicles, offering a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
