February 2025 in “Journal of the Neurological Sciences” This study suggests that BTP levels in cerebrospinal fluid might help diagnose CIDP and predict therapy response but require validation in larger cohorts.
April 2026 in “Mathematics” This study used a probabilistic framework to show that platelet-rich plasma preparation results in significant variability in platelet dose due to factors like injected volume and concentration factor.
This study found that late embryonic skin injuries can regenerate multiple tissue types, but this ability is hindered postnatally due to fibroblast-driven hyperinnervation, which can be mitigated to enable regeneration.
February 2026 in “Optics” This study demonstrates that polarized second harmonic generation imaging effectively monitors wool fiber stretching, revealing significant structural changes in keratin alignment that improve textile performance.
January 2026 in “Environmental Science and Pollution Research” In this study, oral administration of wheat sprout extract significantly protected rats against skin damage caused by acrylamide exposure by enhancing antioxidant defenses, reducing oxidative stress, and preserving skin structure, highlighting its potential as a sustainable protective agent against environmental skin toxins.
December 2025 in “Biopolymers” This study found that chemically treated hair, particularly when subjected to both acid straightening and bleaching, experiences more significant structural damage when exposed to heat, highlighting key changes in both the internal and surface components of hair fibers.
This study found that acute stress can cause rapid hair loss by triggering necrosis in hair follicle cells and initiating autoimmunity, revealing a mechanism where stress-induced nerve activity leads to tissue damage and immune system activation.
September 2025 in “Biology of Sex Differences” This analysis found that females have a higher lifetime risk of alopecia areata across various regions and time periods, with increased risk associated with higher socio-demographic index levels.
September 2025 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This study found that injecting nu/nu mice with aqueous dispersion of unmodified fullerene C60 significantly stimulated hair growth compared to controls, suggesting its potential as a new therapeutic approach for alopecia.
August 2025 in “Pharmaceuticals” In this study, hemp seed-derived exosomes (E40) showed potential for counteracting DHT-induced inhibition of feather follicle development in chicken embryos by modulating critical signaling pathways, suggesting a therapeutic approach for alopecia.
April 2024 in “Molecules/Molecules online/Molecules annual” The researchers reported that sulfated chitosan-containing sponges can modulate macrophage activity in diabetic wounds, reducing inflammation and promoting angiogenesis and tissue regeneration, which may enhance wound healing outcomes.
December 2023 in “Journal of Thoracic Disease” Increased EGFR gene variations may predict chemotherapy outcomes in small cell lung cancer patients.

This study found that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata symptoms in both ex vivo human hair follicles and in vivo mouse models, challenging the view that alopecia areata is solely CD8+ T cell-driven.
January 2026 in “Addiction Biology” This study found that, although finasteride reduced dihydrotestosterone levels in males with heavy episodic drinking, it did not significantly alter brain activation or craving but was linked to a stronger desire not to drink.
December 2025 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” A new tool helps better assess and treat hair loss in Chinese men.
November 2025 in “ACS Omega” This study found that compounds from *Tectona grandis* leaves showed moderate inhibition of steroid 5α-reductase, a factor in androgenetic alopecia, and exhibited anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting nitric oxide and pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 in vitro, suggesting potential dual-action benefits for AGA management.
