November 2025 in “Physics of Fluids” In this study, low-intensity ultrasound was investigated as a noninvasive method for promoting hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia using C57BL/6 male mice, revealing that specific frequencies and intensities can safely enhance hair regrowth compared to controls by optimizing mechanical effects without causing unsafe cavitation.
In this study, researchers found that the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate and its receptor, S1PR3, are essential for regulating mechanical pain sensitivity in mice.
