December 2024 in “Tropical Journal of Natural Product Research” This study evaluated the anti-alopecia effects of Petroselinum crispum leaf extracts in a rabbit model and through molecular docking analysis, finding that two ethyl acetate fractions promoted hair growth, with effects comparable to minoxidil, suggesting potential for alopecia treatment development.
November 2023 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study found that a 12-week topical treatment with a caffeine and Procapil 3% formulation effectively reduced hair loss by 26.9% and improved hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia, without any reported adverse effects.
October 2023 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study found that an octapeptide binding to Lgr5 can enhance the proliferation and differentiation of human primary hair cells by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting its potential as a treatment for hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study examined Ashwagandha-derived exosome-like nanoparticles and found that they increased hair growth markers and hair shaft production in human hair follicles ex vivo, suggesting potential for plant-derived exosome therapies in hair loss treatments.
This study found that self-monitoring blood pressure among pregnant women with hypertension did not significantly improve clinical outcomes compared to usual care, though women reported positive cognitive and emotional responses.
This study found that chronic UVR exposure in mice and humans leads to a permanent loss of papillary fibroblasts in the upper dermis, which is associated with changes in the extracellular matrix.
This study found that activating Hedgehog signaling in both epithelial and stromal cells can induce new hair follicles in adult mice, but this also leads to tumor formation.
This study found no significant difference in urinary androgen and prostaglandin levels between male pattern baldness patients treated with finasteride for one year and normal controls.
January 2015 in “CHINESE JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY (CHINESE VERSION)” This study developed a rapid and reliable ultra high performance liquid chromatography method for analyzing 17 key ingredients in hair growth cosmetics.
This study found that basal cell carcinoma exhibits patterns of hair follicle differentiation but is stuck in telogen arrest, which can be rescued by adding noggin and TGF-β2 in vitro.
January 2011 in “Journal of Jiangnan University” This study developed a validated method for analyzing minoxidil in hair care cosmetics, demonstrating good precision and recovery rates.
March 2009 in “Dermatology Online Journal” This study reports that blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor in cancer treatments can lead to changes in hair growth and create a "wavy" hair phenotype in some patients.
January 2004 in “Zhongguo yaoke daxue xuebao” This study found that two finasteride preparations were bioequivalent in human volunteers when tested using a new HPLC method for pharmacokinetics.
This study found that the finasteride tablet and capsule are bioequivalent to the control finasteride tablet in healthy volunteers.
January 2002 in “Journal of Clinical Dermatology” This study found that lower concentrations of minoxidil promoted human hair follicle growth in vitro, while a higher concentration inhibited growth.
In this hospital-based observational study involving 30 participants, researchers found no statistically significant difference in the force needed to pluck anagen versus telogen hair in the frontal and occipital scalp regions of women with female pattern hair loss.

,
January 1998 in “Dermatology” This study observed that vellus hairs and empty spaces are present in prepubertal children's scalps, but they likely do not indicate androgenetic alopecia, suggesting a natural 'true resting' phase of scalp hair.

,
September 2019 in “Clinical and experimental dermatology” This study found that basal cell carcinoma cells differentiate along hair follicle lineages and may be influenced by hair follicle cycle modulators for potential therapeutic targeting.
July 2023 in “Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” In a Phase II trial, Cox and colleagues reported that anti-IL17A therapy was well tolerated and led to a 64% reduction in wound size for venous leg ulcers unresponsive to standard treatments, although further validation in a larger trial is needed.
