May 2018 in “The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology” This study found that activating the Nrf2 pathway in human mast cells effectively suppresses degranulation and inflammation induced by substance P.
January 2025 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” This case report highlights an unusual presentation of mycosis fungoides with photo-exacerbated lesions and a rare CD4+/CD8+ immunohistochemical phenotype, complicating diagnosis and treatment.
May 2024 in “Australasian journal of dermatology” This study reports on a unique clinical presentation of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides in a 60-year-old man, highlighting complexities in diagnosis due to dense histiocytic infiltration, which led to xanthoma formation before treatment, and obscured lymphomatous features.
4 citations
,
December 2020 This case report describes a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia who did not improve with hydroxychloroquine and topical minoxidil but achieved clinical stabilization with methotrexate monotherapy.
August 2019 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study found that a bleach bath treatment with 0.005% HOCI reduced the expression of certain serine proteases in cultured keratinocytes and lowered skin pH in atopic dermatitis patients, potentially improving symptoms by modulating the NF-kB pathway.
24 citations
,
January 2015 in “Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine” In this study, Polygonum multiflorum Radix promoted hair growth in mice, with oral administration being more effective, likely through FGF-7, while topical application favored SHH-related mechanisms.
1 citations

April 2023 in “International journal of molecular sciences” In this study, AMACO was found to be non-essential for the formation or function of anchoring cords in mice, despite its presence in the structure.
67 citations
,
August 2007 in “American Journal of Pathology” This study found that overexpression of the mineralocorticoid receptor in a mouse model led to premature epidermal barrier development, keratinocyte apoptosis, and postnatal alopecia, indicating new roles for MR signaling in skin physiology.
In this open uncontrolled study on microneedling as an adjuvant therapy for frontal fibrosing alopecia, researchers observed stable frontotemporal recession measurements while patients reported improvements in quality of life and a reduction in inflammatory activity parameters.
January 2023 in “Clinical and Experimental Dermatology” Oral minoxidil may help improve fragile hair.
August 2026 in “Pharmaceutics” In this study, radiofrequency microporation significantly improved topical minoxidil delivery and hair regrowth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, with minimal systemic exposure compared to oral administration, suggesting it could be a promising needle-free option for topical therapy.
