July 2009 in “Cancer Research” In this mouse study, the researchers found that the monoclonal antibody ME1 causes hair follicle inflammation by up-regulating TNFα, which can be reduced by TNFα and interleukin-1 inhibitors.
1 citations
,
June 2021 in “Journal of pharmacopuncture” This study found that while CBD did not change gene expression including β-catenin in hair follicles, it restored decreased β-catenin expression in dermal papilla cells affected by testosterone or PMA, suggesting a potential modulating function on alopecia.
February 2026 in “iScience” This study found distinct hair metal profiles in Parkinson's disease patients, with lower iron and copper, higher manganese and arsenic, and explored their link to gut dysfunction and microbiota dysbiosis, suggesting hair metal analysis as a promising diagnostic tool.
May 2025 in “Scientific and Technical Bulletin оf State Scientific Research Control Institute of Veterinary Medical Products and Fodder Additives аnd Institute of Animal Biology” In this study, researchers developed "Akaro Spectra," an antiparasitic tablet for dogs using cryodestruction of plant materials, which showed 100% efficacy against Otodectes cynotis ticks by the second day and 93.76% efficacy against Ixodes, Dermacentor, and Rhipicephalus ticks.
