January 2026 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study found that targeting the AR/miR-128-3p/IGF-1 pathway with ASLNC168501 shows potential for treating androgenetic alopecia by restoring hair follicle stem cell function and promoting hair regeneration.
December 2025 in “Advanced Healthcare Materials” This study introduces a spherical skin model that effectively mimics key features of human skin, offering a scalable and rapid alternative for non-animal dermatological and cosmetic testing.
August 2025 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study found that exosomes from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells significantly promoted hair follicle growth and enhanced the transition to the growth phase in a model of androgenetic alopecia, by enriching specific microRNAs that activate key pathways involved in hair regeneration.
This study suggests that targeting the increased expression of SIX1 in systemic sclerosis may be a viable strategy for addressing dermal fibrosis.
April 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In a keratinocyte-specific knockout mouse model, this study found that deleting GRK2 disrupted hair follicle homeostasis, causing cyst-like structures, abnormal growth patterns, and eventual hair loss, suggesting potential links to immune-mediated alopecias.
