July 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study investigates the causal relationship between gut microbiota and alopecia areata (AA) using data from GWAS involving 13,266 individuals for gut microbiota and 211,428 for AA. The analysis suggests that certain gut bacteria, such as Butyricimonas, Enterorhabdus, Eubacterium (xylanophilum group), and Phascolarctobacterium, may have a protective effect against AA, while Ruminococcaceae UCG003 may increase the risk. Reverse analysis showed no significant causal effect of AA on gut microbiota. The findings highlight the potential role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis and treatment of AA.

June 2020 in “Journal of Drugs in Dermatology” Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) showed promise for treating alopecia due to its regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties. PRP contained growth factors like PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, EGF, and IGF, which contributed to hair regrowth by binding to receptors on hair follicle stem cells and promoting various cellular processes. Despite the unclear necessity of platelet activation, PRP's effectiveness was observed even with low growth factor concentrations. Clinical trials indicated that different PRP preparations could yield varying results in hair growth, suggesting that factors beyond growth factor concentration influenced outcomes. PRP also upregulated signaling pathways and proteins involved in hair growth and prolonged the anagen phase.
