April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia involves distinct molecular changes, such as downregulation of steroid and cholesterol pathways and upregulation of fibrotic and immune response genes, which may help guide treatment strategies.
January 2020 in “Asian Journal of Chemistry” This study demonstrated that FT-Raman spectroscopy is effective for identifying finasteride polymorphs in tablets and detecting the presence of alternative polymorphs down to about 15% concentration.
This study concluded that bone morphogenetic proteins are crucial for hair follicle stem cell differentiation and that their downregulation by androgens may contribute to the development of androgenetic alopecia.
