March 2025 in “Chinese Medical Journal” This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial found that a 24-week treatment with topical finasteride significantly increased hair growth and was well-tolerated in Chinese men with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo.
November 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Scalp hair follicle cells help protect and heal skin in certain skin conditions.
August 2024 in “International Journal of Nursing Studies Advances” In this research, the authors concluded that the long-term success of hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia is significantly influenced by how well patients manage their recovery period post-surgery.
March 2024 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology/Indian journal of dermatology” In this article, the authors compile various dermatological conditions that metaphorically reference animal-related visuals, such as "buffalo hump" in HIV-associated lipodystrophy or "leonine facies" in lepromatous leprosy, to enhance learning through mnemonic and visual associations.
This review discusses anticoagulant and antihypertensive medications as potential contributors to medication-induced telogen effluvium and reports no new clinical results.
December 2017 in “Dong-ui saengni byeongni hakoeji” This study found that Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix has strong antioxidant activity and may reduce key factors involved in male hair loss in dermal papilla cells.
November 2012 in “Endocrine Practice” This review outlines the physiological roles of 5a-reductases and highlights the need for further research to better understand their function and minimize adverse effects from their inhibitors used in treatment.
This study found that Shh and Dhh overexpression in mouse basal cells led to similar epidermal and limb phenotypes, suggesting Dhh functions similarly to Shh in skin, unlike Ihh.
January 2022 in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine” This review discusses advances in using tissue engineering to improve the inductivity of dermal papilla cells for hair follicle restoration and reports no new clinical results.
