April 2018 in “Biotechnology Letters” Human growth factor 20 can boost mouse whisker growth.
October 2019 in “DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals)” In this study, N-MXD (minoxidil nanoparticles) was shown to deliver more drug into hair bulbs and enhance IGF-1 and VEGF levels more effectively than commercial formulations, resulting in higher therapeutic efficiency for hair growth in C57BL/6 mice.
February 2024 in “Molecules/Molecules online/Molecules annual” In this study, NMN was found to reverse hair follicle atrophy, thinning, and sparsity in mice induced by DHT, and significantly decreased DHT-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in cultured human dermal papilla cells, enhancing hair growth-related markers.
December 2021 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that repeatedly collecting hair follicles from individuals with fragile X syndrome is feasible for measuring FMR1 and FMRP levels in both home and office settings.
September 2018 in “Digital Access to Scholarship at Harvard (DASH) (Harvard University)” In this study, FN-based fiber scaffolds designed using Rotary Jet-Spinning were shown to enhance wound healing and reduce scar formation in a mouse model, suggesting potential for regenerating healthy skin structure.
March 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this study, researchers discovered that the MafB gene, which is important for macrophage differentiation, shows high expression in the pancreas and is influenced by sex steroids, with varied expression patterns in hamster tissues and during reproductive phases.
September 2022 in “Piretc” This article reviews the physical factors influencing the growth of fungi, focusing on the genus Trametes and their ecological roles, but reports no new empirical findings.

August 1996 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”
December 2022 in “Journal of neurodevelopmental disorders” This study observed that repeated hair follicle sampling is feasible and reliable for measuring FMR1 mRNA and FMRP in individuals with Fragile X syndrome, supporting its use in longitudinal studies.
June 2026 in “ACS Nano Medicine” This study designed fibronectin nanogel microneedles, reporting their potential to enhance tissue repair by improving collagen organization, reducing inflammation, and promoting angiogenesis in both photoaged and diabetic wound models.
January 2010 in “Journal of Yangzhou University” In this study, sulfated fucans promoted hair growth in mice by advancing hair follicles to anagen IV and delaying their regression to catagen, possibly through VEGF and HGF effects.
This study developed a novel, 3D-printed dissolving microneedle system for delivering minoxidil to treat hair loss, which showed pH-triggered drug release and enhanced hair regrowth in an alopecia mouse model, offering a potentially sustainable and safe transdermal therapy option.
