August 2021 in “Theriogenology” This study found that blocking neurosteroid synthesis in pregnant sheep increased HPA axis activity, particularly under stress, suggesting neurosteroids help modulate stress response.
April 2025 in “Medical Journal of Babylon” This study found that male patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher levels of copeptin and cortisol compared to healthy controls, suggesting these biomarkers could play a role in the condition's pathophysiology and may serve as diagnostic indicators.
October 2024 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” This case report highlights that Sheehan syndrome, though rare in developed countries, can occur and underscores the importance of detailed history taking to uncover the cause of atypical presentations.
August 2018 in “Brock University Digital Repository (Brock University)” This study suggests that the elevated stress hormone response in adolescent male rats may involve increased conversion of testosterone to estradiol at the adrenal cortex level.

April 2024 in “Metabolites” In this study, researchers found that male and female APCHi mice exposed to ionizing radiation showed near-normal lipid and metabolite levels, suggesting activated protein C may offer some protective effects against radiation-induced damage affecting organ systems.
December 2025 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study offers a new perspective on androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that hair loss at the vertex and frontal scalp results from mechanical and thermodynamic stress, alongside androgen activity, and proposes that reducing mechanical tension and improving local microcirculation could complement traditional treatments.
July 2026 in “Preprints.org” This review outlines the optimization of platelet concentrates for hair loss treatment and suggests extracellular vesicles as a key future element, aiming to advance point-of-care regenerative therapies despite the need for a unified framework and further research on underlying mechanisms.
March 2021 in “Türk plastik cerrahi dergisi” In this study, activated platelet-rich plasma injections significantly increased hair count, density, and the anagen/telogen ratio in men with androgenetic alopecia, compared to placebo, suggesting it as a safe alternative to medical treatments for early-stage alopecia.
August 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, activated PRP injections appeared to promote hair growth in AGA-affected scalp skin transplanted onto mice, compared to non-activated PRP.
This review discusses the androgen-dependent and genetic factors of androgenetic alopecia, highlighting differences in its manifestation between men and women, and reports no new clinical results.
This study discusses a hypothesis that combining intermittent androgen ablation therapy with finasteride may enhance prostate cancer treatment, though new results from this approach are not yet available.
