May 2002 in “PubMed” This study found that the retinoid LGD1069 suppressed mammary tumorigenesis in a mouse model without observable toxicity, while TTNPB showed modest effects but was associated with significant toxicity.
February 2026 in “ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces” This study developed a novel treatment method using carbon dots from Cinnamomum burmannii leaves, which improved hair regeneration and thickness in an AGA mouse model by promoting cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and reducing inflammation through multiple signaling pathways.
April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study analyzed blood samples from individuals with alopecia areata and found that NKG2D+ immune cells, particularly memory-like NK cells, may better correlate with disease activity compared to CD8+ cells, though significant variability among individuals complicates these findings.
4 citations
,
August 2022 in “Cells” This study found that the lncRNA lncRNA2919 is involved in hair follicle regeneration by downregulating growth-related genes, inhibiting cell proliferation, and promoting apoptosis in rabbit dermal papilla cells.
