January 2025 in “Universidad de Córdoba Insitutional Repository (Universidad de Córdoba)” In this study, researchers observed that individuals with alopecia areata exhibited significant changes in scalp microbiota diversity and composition, which were linked to disease severity and inflammation markers, though it remains unclear if these microbial shifts are a cause or a result of hair loss.
May 2023 in “Antioxidants” In this study, researchers found that supramolecular peptide self-assembling materials derived from Pacific oysters exhibit promising effects for skin wound healing in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating procoagulant, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties that suggest potential as a natural treatment option.
In this study, marijuana use and depression were associated with a higher likelihood of being treated for lower urinary tract symptoms in men over 45 in a marijuana-legalized region.
August 2026 in “Farmatsevtychnyi zhurnal” This study evaluated the range and structure of medicinal products available for the treatment of primary cicatricial alopecias in Ukraine, revealing a significant reliance on imported products and a limited selection, which highlights potential for expanding and developing domestic production in this market segment.
July 2026 in “Advanced Science” In this study, researchers found that a scallop adhesive protein (Sbp9 Δ) forms strong adhesive coatings via disulfide-sticker strategies, which also promote hair regeneration in mouse models by activating Wnt signaling and enhancing angiogenesis, proving more effective than minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia.
July 2026 in “Psychoneuroendocrinology” In this study, hair glucocorticoid levels, including cortisol and cortisone, showed varied associations with psychosocial stress factors, influenced by covariates like sex, age, and individual behaviors.
June 2026 in “Frontiers in Medicine” In this randomized controlled trial, daily use of a hair serum containing plant extracts and manganese PCA improved scalp tightness, reduced discomfort, and enhanced hair growth quality in men post-hair transplant, suggesting its efficacy as a dermocosmetic adjuvant for long-term hair care.
This study found that using a hair serum with specific plant-derived extracts and manganese PCA improved scalp condition and hair growth in men after hair transplantation compared to controls.
May 2026 in “Endocrine Connections” This review posits that alopecia in PCOS results from the interaction between local follicular signaling failures, insulin resistance, inflammation, and genetic predispositions, rather than solely from androgen excess, and recommends a systems-level framework for its management.
May 2026 in “The Knowledge Bank (The Ohio State University)” This study observed significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations in foals compared to mares, with a strong positive correlation between the two, suggesting that hair cortisol can reflect maternal and fetal cortisol exposure during the last trimester of gestation in horses.
March 2026 in “Drug Testing and Analysis” This study observed that the degradation product PTeCA significantly increased in hair treated with oxidative cosmetics, suggesting it could be a reliable marker for detecting such treatments, with a proposed PTCA cut-off value using PTeCA as the gold standard.
March 2026 in “Wound Repair and Regeneration” In this study, researchers used a mouse model to demonstrate that expression of MARCKSL1 in dendritic cells plays a crucial role in modulating fibrotic responses and scar formation during wound healing, suggesting that targeting this expression could offer new therapeutic strategies for scar prevention.
January 2026 in “JURNAL PIJAR MIPA” This study found that ethanol extracts from Marygold flowers significantly promote hair growth in male rabbits, with the highest concentration (20%) leading to longer and denser hair compared to lower concentrations.
January 2026 in “Dermatologic Therapy” In this prospective study, ritlecitinib effectively reduced hair loss in patients with severe alopecia areata, with 43.3% of participants achieving a 20 or lower SALT score by week 24, and showed a good midterm safety profile.
December 2025 in “Skin Appendage Disorders” This case report, one of the youngest on record, suggests that systemic stress might trigger pediatric sudden hair graying linked with diffuse alopecia areata, emphasizing the need to differentiate it from congenital silvery hair syndromes due to their distinct prognosis and treatment options.
November 2025 in “JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY INDIA” This study observed that thymol from Origanum marjoram essential oil significantly promoted hair regrowth and reduced inflammation in cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia in rabbits, with effects that were comparable to or exceeded those of betamethasone, highlighting its potential as a safer treatment alternative.
November 2025 in “Frontiers in Nutrition” Olive leaf extract may help reduce aging signs in postmenopausal women.
October 2025 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” This case report documented the management of a 46-year-old female with Marine-Lenhart syndrome, combining antithyroids with minimally invasive sclerotherapy to achieve euthyroidism and reduce thyroid nodule size by 58%.
August 2025 in “JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY INDIA” This study reported that a spray containing Origanum marjoram essential oil significantly improved hair regrowth, dermal thickness, weight, and lymphocyte levels in rabbits with cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia, suggesting its potential as a natural alternative for hair loss treatment.
