January 2022 in “Faculty reviews” The best long-lasting results in treating hair loss may be achieved through combination therapy, including treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and platelet-rich plasma injections.
August 2023 in “European Journal of Plastic Surgery” 3D bioprinting is advancing in plastic and reconstructive surgery, especially for creating tissues and improving surgical planning, but faces challenges like vascularization and material development.
May 2023 in “Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” The document reviews current treatments and unmet needs for androgenetic alopecia (AGA), emphasizing the efficacy and limitations of existing therapies like minoxidil, finasteride, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Minoxidil and finasteride are effective but have compliance and side effect issues, while LLLT is a promising non-invasive option. Combination therapies, such as PRP with microneedling or minoxidil, show better outcomes than monotherapies. The review highlights the need for more personalized and effective treatments, as well as robust clinical trials to establish standardized protocols and address gaps in AGA management.
