January 2020 in “Frontiers in Physiology” This review discusses molecular signaling pathways and nutritional factors influencing feather growth and regeneration in poultry and offers no new results; the authors suggest these insights may guide strategies for producing superior plumage.
March 2026 in “International Journal of Current Pharmaceutical Review and Research” This study found that exosome therapy led to significantly better hair regrowth and patient satisfaction than platelet-rich plasma in men with androgenetic alopecia.
November 2025 in “International Journal of Zoology and Applied Biosciences” In this review, recent innovations in hair transplantation, such as AI-assisted graft selection, robotic systems, stem cell therapy, and advanced drug delivery techniques, are reported to enhance hair density and thickness for more natural results and higher patient satisfaction by addressing limitations of traditional methods.
This randomized control trial reported that mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes significantly increased hair density and thickness in patients with androgenic alopecia, with a mean increase of 35 hairs/cm² over 12 weeks compared to the placebo group, which showed minimal hair density changes.
May 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that hair with lower levels of keratin associated proteins reduced the foreign body response in mouse subcutaneous implant tests compared to hair with higher keratin levels.
September 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this study, overweight women with polycystic ovarian syndrome who took evening primrose oil for 10 weeks experienced significant reductions in BMI, LDL, and total cholesterol levels, alongside hormonal changes such as decreased LH, FSH, and testosterone levels, and increased estrogen.
December 2022 in “The Journal of Cosmetic Medicine” This study reports on a 46-year-old female with a high hairline who underwent hairline-lowering surgery using bone-tunneling suture fixation, achieving an average of 2 cm reduction, equivalent to transplanting up to 3,000 hair grafts, with satisfactory results for both patient and surgeons.
July 2021 in “Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery” In this study, combining endoscopic forehead lifting with hairline lowering successfully rejuvenated the upper facial area in 194 patients by lowering hairlines by an average of 18 mm and raising eyebrows by 5 mm, without serious complications.
This abstract suggests that cost barriers limit the application of standard aesthetic procedures in developing countries, while exploring platelet-rich plasma as a potentially safer and less invasive option in geriatric aesthetics. Detailed results were not reported.
January 2020 in “Revista Dermatológica Centro Uraga” This article describes how recognizing distinct trichoscopic features aids in diagnosing various dermatological conditions and hair loss, but it reports no new clinical findings.
January 2019 in “Advances in stem cells and their niches” This review outlines the various fibroblast subsets in the skin dermis, their origins, and their influence on epidermal stem cell behavior, highlighting the role of the local dermal niche in stem cell plasticity.
January 2016 in “Springer eBooks” New materials and methods could improve skin healing and reduce scarring.
July 2020 in “Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy” This study found that platelet-rich plasma injections significantly increased hair density and width while improving patient satisfaction in androgenic alopecia treatment without adverse effects.
July 2008 in “British Journal of Dermatology” Cyclosporin doesn't stop hair loss.
May 2022 in “International Journal of Clinical Trials” This study concluded that platelet rich fibrin (PRF) may enhance healing and functional recovery compared to platelet rich plasma (PRP) during immediate post-extractive dental implant procedures.
April 2018 in “Expert Opinion on Drug Safety” The authors concluded that finasteride should be preferred over dutasteride for treating male androgenetic alopecia, as it better preserves certain important functions.
