May 2026 in “Journal of Medicinal Chemistry” In this study, the authors developed a novel PROTAC named dAR-6–1, which demonstrated superior hair regeneration in an AGA mouse model compared to minoxidil, highlighting its promise as a therapy due to potent AR degradation and excellent skin permeability.
January 2026 in “Phaidra - Repository of the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna” In this study, researchers assessed cortisol levels in wolves by comparing hair and fecal samples and found a significant correlation, indicating that hair cortisol accurately reflects systemic levels, but season and body region affect results.
September 2025 in “Journal of Intellectual Disability Research” This study investigated the feasibility of measuring scalp hair glucocorticoids as a stress indicator in older adults with intellectual disabilities and found moderate feasibility overall, with higher success in females and those with moderate disabilities, but lower feasibility in males, particularly those balding.
September 2025 in “Psychoneuroendocrinology” This study observed that while hair glucocorticoids were linked to type 2 diabetes, there was no social gradient in glucocorticoid levels among different socioeconomic groups, suggesting these biomarkers may not significantly contribute to understanding socioeconomic health disparities in diabetes.
In this study, preconditioning hair follicle-derived stem cells with valproic acid and/or rapamycin was shown to protect against damage caused by oxygen glucose and serum deprivation, potentially enhancing stem cell therapy efficacy for ischemic stroke by improving cell adaptation to oxidative stress.
January 2024 in “Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia Institutional Repository” In this in vitro study, simple centrifugation with calcium gluconate activation led to a significantly higher release of PDGF-BB in PRP compared to other methods, which may inform improved clinical PRP preparation protocols.
January 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that glycated proteins in untreated scalp hair may serve as a non-invasive marker for blood glucose control, but its applicability is limited by factors like cosmetic treatments and sample collection challenges.
This study found that the Padina arborescens extract and its component MOGG may prevent hair loss by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity, promoting cell proliferation, opening the KATP channel, and increasing PGE2 production in laboratory settings.
March 2016 in “The Korean Society of Beauty and Art” This study found that using a hair-hardener improved hair thickness, amino acid content, surface condition, tensile strength, and wave efficiency without causing any allergic reactions in participants.
August 2004 in “Journal of the American College of Surgeons” Dermagraft and Dermalogen had a lot of granulation, while Alloderm, Integra, and ADM had good blood vessel growth for skin healing.
