October 2017 in “Stem Cell Reports” The study demonstrated that the alkaline ceramidase 1 (ACER1) gene was crucial for maintaining the homeostasis of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) in mice by regulating ceramide metabolism. Mice deficient in the Acer1 gene exhibited elevated levels of ceramides and sphingoid bases, leading to progressive hair loss. The loss of Acer1 resulted in a widened follicular infundibulum and a reduction in HFSC survival and stemness. These findings suggested that ACER1 was essential for preserving the structure and function of hair follicles by controlling ceramide metabolism in the epidermis.
November 2024 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study investigated the effects of combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with minoxidil and finasteride/spironolactone in hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Conducted from August 2019 to December 2022, it involved 30 patients divided into an experimental group, which received PRP injections alongside drug therapy and hair transplantation, and a control group, which received only drug therapy with hair transplantation. The results showed that the experimental group had significantly better follicle survival rates, follicle growth rates, and hair strength compared to the control group. The study concludes that PRP, when used with pharmacological support during follicular unit extraction (FUE) treatment for AGA, enhances hair transplantation outcomes.

November 2015 in “Carcinogenesis” The study demonstrated that the genetic deletion of TNFα in PKCε transgenic mice inhibited the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) induced by ultraviolet radiation (UVR) or the DMBA-TPA protocol. The absence of TNFα in these mice led to increased latency and decreased incidence of SCC. This inhibition was associated with reduced expression of TNFα receptors, cell proliferation markers, and metastatic markers, as well as decreased activation of transcription factors Stat3 and NF-kB, and reduced proliferation of hair follicle stem cells and epidermal hyperplasia. The findings provided genetic evidence linking TNFα to PKCε-mediated sensitivity to SCC development.
