November 2024 in “Frontiers in Endocrinology” This study used a novel extraction method to detect and measure mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids in hair follicles, concluding these steroids may serve as effective biomarkers for diagnosing conditions related to steroid excess or deficiency, such as Cushing’s syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
July 2024 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” In this ex vivo and in vitro study, researchers found that capacitive resistive electrical transfer therapy increased cell proliferation and reduced cell death in hair follicles from patients with androgenic alopecia, suggesting potential benefits for alopecia treatment.
April 2024 in “Pharmaceuticals” This review highlights the clinical usefulness of bimatoprost in lowering intraocular pressure for glaucoma patients and its promising results in promoting hair growth for conditions like alopecia, with research also exploring potential new applications and delivery systems.
January 2024 in “Metabolites” This review highlights the importance of standardizing pre-analytical procedures for collecting and extracting samples from uncommon biological specimens like breast milk and sweat in clinical metabolomics, to enhance diagnostic and biomarker discovery efforts while minimizing contamination and bias.
September 2023 in “Diagnostics” In this study, researchers found a significant relationship between mid-luteal progesterone levels and 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels in infertile patients, suggesting that about 20 ng/mL of vitamin D may be necessary to trigger ovulation or support progesterone secretion.
September 2023 in “Biomedicines” In this study, researchers found that subjects with clinical alopecia had significantly higher levels of squalene in their hair bulbs compared to controls, suggesting squalene as a potential metabolic and pathogenic marker for certain alopecia conditions.
In this study, a 46-year-old patient with alopecia areata experienced successful hair regrowth and improved quality of life after three monthly applications of platelet-rich plasma, which the authors noted is a relatively effective, safe, and minimally invasive treatment option.
May 2023 in “Journal of Clinical Medicine” This review article reports recent advancements in understanding, diagnosing, and treating various hair loss conditions, like androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, including their genetic factors and new therapeutic options, while also examining the impact of COVID-19 on hair loss.
