June 2023 in “Cells” This review highlights exosomes as a promising treatment for skin damage from UV light, infrared radiation, burns, and disorders due to their anti-inflammatory properties, ability to induce macrophage polarization, and acceleration of skin repair and regeneration.
January 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This article explores the pathophysiology of alopecia and reviews various treatment options, including allopathic, homeopathic, naturopathic, cosmeceutical, and ayurvedic approaches, in light of the increasing interest in hair health and the rise in alopecia cases. Results are not reported.
October 2025 in “Biomolecules” This study found that prolonged intermittent fasting in diet-induced obese mice led to increased levels of inositol monophosphates in white adipose tissue, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced body weight and fat mass, suggesting a novel metabolic adaptation mechanism.
July 2025 in “JUNIOR RESEARCHERS” This review found that prolonged use of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic increased the incidence of facial skin conditions like maskne and dermatitis, particularly affecting women and young people, and suggests prevention and management strategies including skincare routines, mask material choice, and therapeutic approaches.
June 2025 in “Cell Regeneration” In this study, Dguok deficiency in mice led to premature hair greying due to a loss of melanocyte stem cells and mature melanocytes, with increased oxidative stress and cell death; treatment with an antioxidant mitigated these effects, suggesting DGUOK's importance in hair pigmentation maintenance.
August 2024 in “Cosmetics” In this study, a bleaching protocol was developed to evaluate hair repair products, revealing that K18® and Olaplex® improve hair brightness and lightness, with distinct impacts on hair fiber properties.
April 2024 in “Communications biology” The researchers reported that disrupting ATRA signaling by deleting RDHE genes in the hair follicle led to altered hair follicle cycles, composition, and gene expression, indicating RDHEs' role in hair follicle signaling coordination.
March 2024 in “Journal of Neuroscience Research” In this study, researchers found that repeated finasteride administration in female rats led to antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects, potentially linked to increased estradiol and decreased corticosterone levels, with implications for neurosteroid-based treatments in women.
In this study, a case was reported where oral Minoxidil led to severe ocular complications, specifically Central Retinal Vein Occlusion and Cilioretinal Artery Occlusion, resulting in sudden vision loss which improved upon discontinuation.
October 2022 in “Journal of advances in medicine and medical research” This study found that low-level laser therapy combined with NB-UVB therapy led to improvement in re-pigmentation for many stable vitiligo patients, with minimal and transient side effects.
