March 2024 in “Chinese medicine and natural products” In this study, microneedle combined with 5% topical minoxidil significantly increased hair count in androgenetic alopecia, suggesting it as a potential additional therapy option; however, microneedle alone had limited effects.
November 2023 in “Dermatology and Therapy” This study found that treatment with baricitinib 4 mg over 52 weeks led to clinically meaningful regrowth of eyebrows and eyelashes in patients with alopecia areata, even without complete scalp hair regrowth.
November 2023 in “British Journal of Dermatology” Different people with severe hair loss respond to baricitinib treatment at different times, with some showing improvement early, some gradually, and others later.
September 2023 in “British Journal of Dermatology” In this study, researchers identified subgroups of patients with severe alopecia areata treated with baricitinib who experienced early, gradual, or late hair regrowth, finding that response was influenced by baseline disease severity and duration of hair loss.
September 2023 in “International Journal of Trichology” In this study, researchers reported three cases of alopecia areata patients experiencing a rare targetoid pattern of hair regrowth, a phenomenon originally described in 1988.
July 2023 in “SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine” This study found that some patients with alopecia areata who did not respond to ritlecitinib treatment by Week 24 achieved a positive response with continued therapy by Week 48, with tolerable side effects.
June 2023 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” March 2023 in “SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine” This study observed that most patients with alopecia areata experienced sustained scalp hair regrowth after 48 weeks of ritlecitinib treatment, with safety consistent with prior findings.
