March 2024 in “Research Square” This study developed a mathematical model to simulate immune interactions and hair cycle dynamics in alopecia areata, identifying influential factors affecting hair growth and offering insights into potential treatment strategies by targeting immune dysregulation.
This study observed that women using combined oral contraceptives experienced more nausea, vomiting, and hair loss, while those on Depo-Provera were more likely to gain weight.
December 2023 in “JDDG Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft” In this study, researchers observed that Folliculitis decalvans diagnoses were often delayed, with severe cases linked to hidradenitis suppurativa and Staphylococcus aureus infection, and highlighted the need for better dermatological training to reduce these delays.
November 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study suggests that allergens like linalool found in personal care products may contribute to the pathobiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia by affecting immune responses and stem cell function in hair follicles.
October 2022 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” Linalool in personal care products may worsen frontal fibrosing alopecia by damaging hair follicle stem cells and triggering harmful immune responses.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This qualitative study found that healthcare professionals view psychosocial needs as a major reason for offering therapeutic education and self-management support for psoriasis, but efficacy remains uncertain.
January 2017 in “Zurich Open Repository and Archive (University of Zurich)” This study presents a new, effective method for delivering dental epithelial stem cells to the jaw, aiming to advance therapies for enamel defects and regeneration.
In this study, Smad4 deletion in satellite cells hindered skeletal muscle regeneration in adult mice and did not enhance regeneration in aged mice, indicating Smad4's crucial role in muscle repair.
This study found that Smad4 is crucial for satellite cell amplification during skeletal muscle regeneration, with aged cells exhibiting less Smad4 and reduced regenerative capability in mice.
This study found that a transcription factor called FoxA is specifically required for the regeneration of the planarian pharynx, suggesting its critical role in organ-specific regeneration.
January 2022 in “Voennaâ medicina” This case study describes a successful treatment of androgenetic alopecia in a 34-year-old man through a comprehensive program involving low-dose minoxidil, without finasteride, resulting in significant hair growth improvements.
October 2021 in “QJM: An International Journal of Medicine” This study concluded that smoking, stress, obesity, family history, exercise, hypertension, and unbalanced diet are significant non-genetic factors associated with androgenetic alopecia in Egyptian males.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that anagen hair follicles can quickly regenerate after radiation damage by forming new progenitor cells outside the bulge, bypassing the need for telogen entry.
This study observed that 2% minoxidil solution stopped hair loss and promoted new hair growth in 85% of female pattern androgenetic alopecia patients, while 2% progesterone solution achieved similar results in 71% of patients.

May 2013 in “Australasian Journal of Dermatology” In this study, detailed examinations of alopecic lesions in two female Cronkhite-Canada syndrome patients suggested hair regrowth might occur without systemic corticosteroids if not required for gastrointestinal treatment, and hair loss may begin with anagen-telogen transition.
15 citations
