December 2025 in “Processes” This study found that minoxidil had the highest solubility in shea butter, stearic acid, and rosemary oil, suggesting these natural oils may improve drug loading and encapsulation efficiency in lipid nanocarrier formulations for potential hair growth applications.
October 2025 in “Skin Health and Disease” This review found preliminary evidence suggesting that photothermal conditioning enhances the bioactivity of platelet-rich plasma, potentially improving hair regeneration outcomes, but highlights the need for standardized protocols and further studies to confirm its efficacy and safety.
This study found that quercetin significantly promoted proliferation and inhibited apoptosis of hair follicle stem cells from Arbas cashmere goats, suggesting potential benefits for improving cashmere production.
March 2025 in “Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (Universidade de São Paulo)” In this study, the researchers observed that ferulic acid and resveratrol effectively protected chemically treated hair from oxidative damage, particularly against protein loss and color degradation, but not cisteine oxydation prevention, and these antioxidants also offered protection against sun-induced damage when used in conditioners.
May 2024 in “International journal of molecular sciences” This review examined clinical studies on topical melatonin for skin protection and found strong evidence that it effectively prevents skin damage from radiation, but noted limited clear evidence for its anti-aging and hair growth benefits due to study design limitations and combined treatments.
March 2024 in “Middle East Fertility Society Journal/Middle East Fertility Society Journal ” In this study, the researchers used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome exhibit a central fat distribution pattern despite not having increased overall fat compared to controls, suggesting this method's potential utility in diagnosing and monitoring PCOS.
June 2023 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This article reviews existing and emerging treatment methods for androgenetic alopecia non-surgically, suggesting some could potentially reverse disease progression, but notes each approach still faces certain limitations.
May 2020 in “Meeting abstracts/Meeting abstracts (Electrochemical Society. CD-ROM)” This research reported that using an electromechanical system based on flexible nanogenerators significantly accelerated skin wound healing and hair growth, and reduced food intake in rat models.
