August 2021 in “Nutrition research” This study suggests that estrogen regulates vitamin A metabolism in skin tissues in a sex-dependent manner, which may have implications for treating acne, hair loss, and skin immunity.
September 2023 in “Medicina-lithuania” In this study, DNA analysis of patients with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata indicated potential differences in treatment response based on genetic makeup across Romanian and Brazilian populations, notably involving genes like GR-alpha and SULT1A1, which may guide personalized treatment strategies.
May 2020 in “Current developments in nutrition” This study suggests that retinoic acid synthesis and signaling may play a role in maintaining refractory telogen, potentially inhibiting the hair cycle in mice fed varying levels of vitamin A.
This study evaluated genetic differences in hair loss patients from Romania and Brazil, finding that specific gene variations were more common in Brazilian patients. The researchers suggest certain drugs may be more effective based on these genetic markers, but most genes showed no population differences.
This study found that proretinal nanoparticles, applied topically, are safe and effective for penetration into hair follicles, enhancing retinoid biological activity in the skin while reducing irritation compared to conventional retinal formulations.
