September 2022 in “Medical Mycology” This study suggests that the presence of Malassezia hyphae may contribute to the development of androgenetic alopecia, as treatment with antifungal agents reduced fungal load and halted hair loss.
This study investigates the role of AR up-regulation in the pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia, but it remains unclear if HSP27 and miR-1 are jointly involved.
January 2022 in “Social Science Research Network” This study found that in androgenetic alopecia, the androgen receptor directly increases miR-221 transcription, which suppresses hair growth by targeting IGF-1 and inactivating specific signaling pathways.
August 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that a decrease in estradiol levels in women is associated with increased hair shedding due to weakened anchoring of telogen hairs.
May 2012 in “Hair transplant forum international” This article discusses the prevalence of female pattern hair loss and reports no new results; the authors highlight its increased prevalence with aging.

November 2025 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This study found that specific immune cell phenotypes, particularly CD25 on CD4 Treg cells, were causally linked to androgenic alopecia, suggesting potential targets for immune-based therapies.
June 2025 in “Universities Journal of Phytochemistry and Ayurvedic Heights” This study evaluated the wedelolactone content and antimicrobial activity of Eclipta alba and Wedelia chinensis extracts, finding a potential relationship between the concentration of wedelolactone and their in vitro antimicrobial effects against several pathogenic bacteria and yeast.
October 2024 in “Archives of Dermatological Research”
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that tissue transcriptomics and a normalization approach can effectively cluster nine inflammatory skin diseases and identify specific biomarkers, including PTEN as a marker for cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
November 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that skin organoids derived from iPSCs with an HS-associated NCSTN mutation showed defects in hair follicle stem cell differentiation and increased expression of inflammatory proteins related to hidradenitis suppurativa.
