March 2023 in “Anais Brasileiros De Dermatologia” The document reviews various treatments for female pattern hair loss (FPHL), highlighting the efficacy and safety of different therapeutic options. Topical minoxidil is the most supported treatment but is ineffective for about 40% of patients. Oral minoxidil shows promise but has potential side effects. Antiandrogens like spironolactone and bicalutamide are effective in certain cases, with cyproterone being more effective in hyperandrogenism. Emerging treatments like microneedling, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) show potential but require more research. The review emphasizes the need for personalized treatment plans and further randomized clinical trials to improve FPHL management.

September 2022 in “Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity” The study demonstrates that hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HFMSCs) can alleviate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) in mice by releasing exosomes (Exos) that inhibit pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death. HFMSCs reduced the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins and improved cell viability, with the highest efficacy observed at a dose of 400 μg per mouse administered twice a week. The therapeutic effects are suggested to involve the TRAIL and IFN-gamma signaling pathways, highlighting HFMSCs and their Exos as a promising treatment for UC.
