July 2016 in “Genetica” This study found that in Liaoning cashmere goats, the BMP4 gene shows increased transcription from the anagen stage to telogen, and higher gene methylation correlates with reduced expression in skin tissue.
February 2025 in “BMC Public Health” This study found that snoring during sleep, frequent consumption of bacon and preserved meats, and drinking unboiled water, along with older age and suboptimal health, were associated with a higher likelihood of female androgenetic alopecia in a community-based sample of women in China.
December 2016 in “Journal of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery” In this study, the Instant Follicular Hair Unit Transplant technique demonstrated superior hair growth compared to conventional FUE in patients with androgenetic alopecia, although it requires a steeper learning curve for surgeons.
May 2026 in “European Cells and Materials” In this study, researchers developed a novel delivery system using hyaluronic acid gels to encapsulate Huperzine A for Alzheimer's treatment, achieving extended release over 20 days and significantly improving pathology and behavior in mice, including enhanced memory and reduced neuroinflammation.
