August 2023 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Human skin xenografting could improve our understanding of skin development, renewal, and healing.
July 2023 in “IntechOpen eBooks” New treatments for alopecia areata show promise, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
July 2023 in “Stem Cells Translational Medicine” Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) help in wound healing and tissue regeneration, but can also contribute to tumor growth. They show promise in treating chronic wounds and certain burns, but their full healing mechanisms and potential challenges need further exploration.
Researchers made a mouse model with curly hair and hair loss by editing a gene.
July 2023 in “Biomolecules” The new "whisker follicle microinjection assay" can test how different biomolecules affect hair growth and color.
Thermal spring waters and their microbes could be good for skin health and treating some skin conditions in skincare products.
May 2023 in “IntechOpen eBooks” More research is needed to understand how testosterone is maintained in adult males.
May 2023 in “Journal of managed care & specialty pharmacy” Alopecia areata causes hair loss and life quality issues; current treatments are often unsatisfactory, but new drugs like JAK inhibitors show promise.

December 2022 in “Dermatology and Therapy” Alopecia areata needs more recognition and better treatment access in Latin America to improve patient care and outcomes.
October 2022 in “Frontiers in Endocrinology” New tools show that in fish, NPY increases feeding and somatostatin decreases it.
August 2022 in “Case reports” Isotretinoin effectively treated a rare scalp condition, but careful drug monitoring and a dairy-free diet were important.
May 2022 in “Clinical Epigenetics” A mother's iron levels early in pregnancy can influence the DNA makeup of her child, potentially affecting the child's health.
July 2019 in “Dermatology practical & conceptual” The study found that alopecia areata is strongly linked to autoimmune diseases and may indicate a genetic predisposition to such conditions.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
April 2022 in “Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy” CXCL12 protein slows down hair growth through its receptor CXCR4. Blocking this can potentially increase hair growth.
January 2022 in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine” The document concludes that hair follicle regeneration involves various factors like stem cells, noncoding dsRNA, lymphatic vessels, growth factors, minoxidil, exosomes, and induced pluripotent stem cells.
