November 2024 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study found that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) promoted hair regeneration in androgenetic alopecia model mice by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling, enhancing hair follicle stem cell proliferation, and reducing dermal papilla cell apoptosis.
October 2024 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study found that CGF may be effective in reducing inflammation and improving skin conditions in psoriasis, particularly in patients resistant to other treatments.
October 2024 in “Frontiers in Nutrition” This study found that patients with alopecia, particularly alopecia areata and female pattern hair loss, often have vitamin D deficiency, suggesting that screening for vitamin D could benefit these patients.
August 2024 in “Steroids” This review summarizes structural insights into androgen receptor dynamics, highlighting its flexibility in binding numerous partners, which may explain adaptive resistance mutations in cancer and loss of function in androgen insensitivity syndrome.
In this study, researchers identified three novel genetic loci associated with androgenetic alopecia, including one with significant association in females only, which may indicate a role for sex-specific genetic factors in patterned hair loss.
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.
April 2024 in “Middle East Fertility Society Journal” In this study of infertile Indonesian women with PCOS, researchers found no correlation between hirsutism, body measurements, and sexual dysfunction scores, but noted that hirsutism may be linked to higher anxiety levels.
April 2024 in “Frontiers in endocrinology (Lausanne)” In this meta-analysis, researchers found that melatonin did not affect primary hair follicles or litter size in goats but was positively correlated with secondary follicle growth, suggesting potential relevance for studying hair growth mechanisms and human alopecia.
January 2024 in “SAGE Open Medical Case Reports” This case study reports that combining surgery and photodynamic therapy effectively treated a 19-year-old male with perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens, proving especially beneficial for patients unresponsive to traditional treatments.
September 2023 in “Medicina-lithuania” In this study, DNA analysis of patients with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata indicated potential differences in treatment response based on genetic makeup across Romanian and Brazilian populations, notably involving genes like GR-alpha and SULT1A1, which may guide personalized treatment strategies.
August 2022 in “Brain and Development” In this case report, a nine-year-old girl with both chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and alopecia universalis showed improvement in muscle weakness and hair loss after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids.
June 2021 in “Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology” This study found that psoriasis, acne, and androgenetic alopecia are associated with an atherogenic lipid profile, suggesting an increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, especially among psoriasis patients.
May 2025 in “Journal of Nanobiotechnology” This study reported that an ATRA-loaded nanostructured lipid carrier gel (ATRA-NLC-Gel) improved symptoms of alopecia areata in mice by enhancing transdermal drug delivery, reducing skin irritation, and promoting hair regrowth through targeted follicle enrichment and pathway activation.
