January 2025 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This source reported that early evidence supports the potential efficacy of exosomes in treating conditions like alopecia, facial rejuvenation, hyperpigmentation, and scarring, but noted that standardization issues need addressing through further studies to better understand their use in aesthetic dermatology.
July 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” A single medium, PRIME AIRLIFT, supports better human hair follicle formation in grafts.
February 2024 in “Biomedical journal of scientific & technical research” This study explored whether inositol and phytic acid, components from rice bran, could be effective and safe alternatives to minoxidil for promoting hair growth, due to concerns about minoxidil's side effects with long-term use in women. Results are not reported.
October 2023 in “Facial Plastic Surgery” This article describes the PHAT technique for lip and facial rejuvenation but reports no new clinical findings; the technique aims to improve skin quality and enhance surgical outcomes.
November 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that Cyclosporin A may prolong the anagen phase of hair growth in cultured dermal papilla cells by decreasing TGF-β2 expression, similar to its mechanism in immunosuppression.
November 2020 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In a mouse model, this study found that intradermal keratin injection stimulated hair growth and suggested its potential use for treating hair loss by promoting hair regeneration.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study reported that a Maca hydrolysate extract protected human hair follicles from oxidative and inflammatory stress and promoted hair growth in ex vivo models, suggesting a potential use for managing hair loss.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study reported that mSKPs and DMSCs share similarities in biological characteristics but exhibit distinct transcriptome profiles, with mSKPs being more immune-related and DMSCs more associated with differentiation and disease pathways.
This study developed and validated an optimized culture method for dermal papilla cells, leading to the establishment of an immortalized cell strain called iDP6, which resembles primary DP cells in key characteristics.
