November 2020 in “Frontiers in Physics” This review discusses the experimental strategies and technological challenges of proton minibeam radiotherapy (pMBRT) and reports no clinical results; it highlights the potential of using a 3 GHz linear accelerator for precision therapy research.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that their novel 3D-imaging method, ASAXA-μCT, identified shrinkage of sweat glands as a key factor in skin aging, which leads to dermal defects, decreased elasticity, and increased wrinkling and sagging.
15 citations
,
December 2013 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This study found that levels of the protein MAGP-1, important for skin elasticity, decrease with aging and photoexposure, potentially contributing to skin fragility, sagging, and enlarged pores.
July 2025 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Miniaturized hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia show abnormal mitochondrial activity and damage.
This study found that ponytails with small fractions of gray hair have significantly lower swing height and higher damping, affecting the dynamic movement and appearance compared to those with fewer gray hairs.
May 2026 in “Physical review. D/Physical review. D.” This study finds that the images of soft-haired Kerr black holes show unique rotational, dilational, and drifting effects compared to bald black holes, linked to Noether charges and generalized symmetries.
This study found that PRL-1-overexpressing PD-MSCs reduced adipogenesis in orbital fibroblasts from Graves' ophthalmopathy patients by secreting IGFBPs and modulating the FAK pathway.

November 2018 in “International Journal of Research -GRANTHAALAYAH” This study introduces a tabletop technique demonstrating that endogenous biomagnetic fields from human hair can induce red blood cells agglutination and Rouleaux formations.
September 2021 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study reports that despite rescuing neurulation and skin barrier defects, Grhl3 gene overexpression in mice leads to hearing impairment, hair loss, and other developmental abnormalities, highlighting low tolerance for Grhl3 dysregulation.
This study found that finite element analysis-guided design improved bubble microneedles' controlled tip separation and insertion strength, supporting effective transdermal and sublingual drug delivery.
March 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This publication presents a library of precision geometric medicines that reportedly kill harmful bacteria and fungi while sparing beneficial organisms, using a delivery system that targets pathogens specifically and avoids ecological harm.

February 1998 in “Analytical Chemistry” Method detects finasteride in plasma at very low concentrations.
14 citations
,
April 2007 in “Journal of aging and health” This study observed that balding was associated with lower total body BMD in men and higher hip BMD in women, possibly due to estrogen use in the latter group.
March 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This publication presents a library of geometric medicines designed to selectively target pathogenic bacteria and fungi with high precision while minimizing ecological harm, available for free on a non-commercial basis.
November 2025 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Mesenchymal stiffness affects sweat gland cell development.
23 citations
,
October 2021 in “Cell Stem Cell” This study found that hair shaft miniaturization in aging and genetic hypotrichosis leads to hair follicle stem cell loss through mechanical compression and apoptosis mediated by the Piezo1 channel.
July 2026 in “Organoid Research” This review focuses on hydrogel microsphere-mediated strategies to improve organoid culture by addressing deficiencies in extracellular matrix organization, potentially enhancing the physiological accuracy and clinical translatability of osteomuscular in vitro models as reported in this study.
14 citations
,
May 2020 in “Drug Testing and Analysis” This study reports that hair analysis could potentially monitor metformin use in diabetic patients, suggesting a possible correlation between daily dose and concentration in dark hair but not in light hair.
May 2026 in “Journal of the Egyptian Womenʼs Dermatologic Society” This review discusses microneedling radiofrequency in cosmetic dermatology, particularly for skin texture improvement and various conditions, and reports no new clinical results.
12 citations
,
January 2014 in “Journal of X-Ray Science and Technology” This study suggests that the optimum X-ray energy for microplanar beam radiation therapy to treat deep-seated tumors may range from 100 to 300 keV, based on therapeutic gain and surface dose considerations.
September 2006 in “Fertility and Sterility” This study found a positive association between higher birth weight and self-reported graying of hair in premenopausal infertile women.
November 2024 in “Journal of Microscopy” This study found that micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was highly effective for analyzing the cross-sectional geometry of hair fibres, including the medulla in highly curled hair, but less effective than scanning electron microscopy for surface details.
August 2020 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that PD-MSCs overexpressing PRL-1 inhibited adipogenesis in orbital fibroblasts from Graves' ophthalmopathy patients, potentially offering a new therapeutic approach for degenerative diseases.
January 2026 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study observed that repeated low-depth microneedling in patients with androgenetic alopecia led to initial hair improvement but subsequently caused hair-shaft fragility and breakage, suggesting iatrogenic damage.
