January 2025 in “American Journal of Translational Research” In this study, Erianin was found to significantly suppress alopecia areata in a mouse model by inhibiting effector T cell function, reversing systemic symptoms, and promoting hair growth.
July 2024 in “Revista Científica de Estética e Cosmetologia” This study aimed to develop a dermocosmetic exfoliating formulation using babassu fibers for androgenetic alopecia treatment, but found that although the formulation met sensory standards, it was unstable in sunlight and heat, suggesting a need for optimization before commercialization.
June 2024 in “BioSCIENCE” This study reviewed the use of microinfusion of microparticles (MMP®) with methotrexate for treating alopecia frontal fibrosante and found it reduced symptoms associated with the condition and improved specific scalp measurements, showing that the technique is safe and well-tolerated.
This case series observed that patients with persistent post-COVID-19 symptoms reported considerable improvement after using icosapent ethyl, suggesting potential therapeutic success warranting further research.
April 2016 in “Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open” This article from the PRS Global Open and ASPS Education Network does not present any new research findings; it likely serves as an introductory or descriptive overview.
December 2011 in “The Diabetes Educator” This article describes how a new blood glucose management service at the NIH Clinical Center improved safety and patient outcomes for hospitalized patients with diabetes.
December 2010 in “Bariatric Nursing and Surgical Patient Care” This article provides a clinical Q&A on bariatric nursing and surgical patient care and reports no new research findings.
July 2026 in “Organoid Research” In this review, researchers summarize key factors in constructing skin organoids, including cell source and assembly methods, and emphasize advances such as air-liquid interface culture for improving tissue development, aiming to guide standardized protocols and future clinical applications.
July 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that back skin mesenchyme from mouse embryos can induce hair follicle formation even before dermal condensate formation, but R-spondin-1 alone or with a Bmp receptor inhibitor was not sufficient for hair follicle induction.
January 2021 in “Medicine Science | International Medical Journal” This study found that men with early androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower total antioxidant capacity compared to healthy age-matched controls.
November 2020 in “Postepy Dermatologii I Alergologii” This review discusses the potential of using SULT1A1 expression in the scalp as a biomarker to predict response to minoxidil treatment for androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.
November 2018 in “Journal of dermatology & cosmetology” This manuscript reports on the first case of perforating necrobiosis lipoidica in Colombia, marking the 19th documented case worldwide.
June 2025 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This review compiles current research on the role of long non-coding RNAs in regulating muscle growth and regeneration processes, particularly their influence on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and reports no new clinical results.
December 2024 in “Livers” This case report highlights a female patient with familial partial lipodystrophy who showed significant improvement in liver stiffness after starting leptin replacement therapy.
