The document concludes that scalp cooling and treatments like minoxidil can help manage hair loss from cancer therapy.

In this study, researchers found that using the Orbis II scalp cooling device in a single-center setting effectively prevented severe chemotherapy-induced alopecia in 73% of patients with various cancer types, though the authors recommend further studies to explore broader applicability and influencing factors.

In this review, the authors examine the causes, risk factors, and management strategies for chemotherapy-induced hair loss, highlighting its psychological impact and underscoring the role of healthcare providers, especially nurses, in supporting patients through this distressing side effect.

This perspective suggests that browning agents may not directly enhance UCP1 expression in white adipose tissue but instead induce browning through increased heat loss, prompting thermogenesis to compensate.

This review discusses the pathobiology of chemotherapy-induced alopecia and highlights challenges in managing it, reporting no new clinical results and emphasizing the need for well-designed preclinical models to develop effective treatments.

This source reports that scalp cooling is currently the only safe and FDA-cleared method to potentially reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss, with about a 50% chance of maintaining sufficient hair to avoid needing a wig.

This study found that biodegradable hyperbranched polyesters improved the solubility and loading capacity of hydrophobic drugs, with complete pyrene release achieved in 16 days under enzymatic conditions.

This review highlights recent advances in laser treatments for skin disorders, including the optimization of vascular lesion treatment and improved safety for hair removal, but reports no new results.

This study systematically reviews the development and applications of drug-loaded nanofiber scaffolds in wound healing, highlighting challenges such as maintaining drug activity and achieving controlled release, while summarizing preparation methods and describing advanced drug delivery schemes.
