June 2023 in “Stem cell reviews and reports” Stem cell therapies could be a promising alternative for hair loss treatment, but more research is needed to understand their full potential and safety.
May 2023 in “Vestnik dermatologii i venerologii” Early-stage male pattern baldness shows two types of hair loss: one on the top of the head linked to hormonal changes, and another at the back of the head. The top hair loss responds well to specific treatment, while the back hair loss does not.
February 2023 in “Molecules” Cactus extract from Notocactus ottonis may help promote hair growth.
January 2023 in “Applied sciences” Gefitinib and Sasam-Kyeongokgo together significantly reduce cancer growth and improve immune response in mice.
October 2022 in “BMC genomics” RNA editing significantly affects hair growth and follicle cycling in the Tianzhu white yak.
December 2021 in “Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry” Toothpaste containing α-tocopherol acetate, l-menthol, and stevioside can promote hair growth in mice.
July 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The research found that male pattern hair loss is mostly genetic and involves hair thinning due to hormonal effects and changes in gene expression.
September 2017 in “Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology” The Notch signaling pathway is important for hair follicle development and could help create treatments for hair disorders.
January 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Hedgehog signaling controls hair follicle development and can affect skin cancer growth.
The study investigated protein expression in forehead epidermal corneocytes to distinguish between frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) and androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Samples from 5 FFA patients, 5 AGA patients, and 12 controls revealed that FFA had 72 proteins significantly different from controls, with most showing lower expression, while AGA had only 3 proteins significantly different. This suggests FFA affects protein expression systemically, beyond the scalp. The findings support non-invasive monitoring of FFA through forehead epidermis protein profiling, indicating a potential for better diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
