December 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study observed that extracellular matrix scaffold membranes performed less effectively in wound healing for aged mice compared to younger ones, with senescent SPP1+ macrophages potentially hindering epidermal and fibroblast repair abilities.
July 2022 in “International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR)” This study describes the development of an herbal hair oil using thirteen ingredients to address various hair problems like baldness, dandruff, and hair damage, although the abstract does not report results or evaluate efficacy.
November 2020 in “Dubai medical journal” This case report described a 24-year-old with alopecia totalis who saw full scalp hair regrowth by the 9th month while using oral tofacitinib, which was well-tolerated and did not show serious adverse effects. Longer-term studies are needed to confirm its overall effectiveness for alopecia totalis.
