November 2025 in “Fayoum University Medical Journal/Fayoum University Medical Journal ” This study found that intralesional vitamin D3 injections significantly increased serum vitamin D3 levels in patients with localized alopecia areata, although baseline vitamin D3 levels did not predict disease severity or treatment response.
September 2025 in “International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine” This study observed distinct variations in hair medulla patterns among people with different Ayurvedic Prakruti types, linking stronger hair integrity to Kapha-dominant types and weaker, fragmented medullae to Vata and Pitta-dominant types, potentially aiding in Dosha-specific hair care and assessment.
This study successfully established a functionally stable immortalized sheep granulosa cell line (GCs-SV40T-GFP) that can passaged up to 50 generations, maintaining morphological stability and estradiol secretion, offering a valuable model for research into animal reproductive function and hormone regulation.
This article hypothesizes that thymoma with aplastic anemia may result from abnormal autoimmune CD8+ T lymphocytes produced by the thymoma, potentially leading to other cytotoxic T-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.
July 2025 in “Al-Esraa University College journal for medical sciences.” This study found a significant association between insulin resistance and luteinizing hormone levels in women with PCOS in Baghdad, suggesting these factors could be key in evaluating therapeutic responses.
January 2025 in “Science World Journal” This study found distinct sex-based differences in the microscopic characteristics of scalp hair among a Nigerian population, providing valuable forensic data specific to this group.
January 2025 in “Universidad de Córdoba Insitutional Repository (Universidad de Córdoba)” In this study, researchers observed that individuals with alopecia areata exhibited significant changes in scalp microbiota diversity and composition, which were linked to disease severity and inflammation markers, though it remains unclear if these microbial shifts are a cause or a result of hair loss.
November 2024 in “SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine” In this study, NH Asian alopecia areata patients reported the highest levels of severe disease, with NH White patients having the most eyebrow involvement and Hispanic patients showing the least severity.
September 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study developed a deep learning-based tool to quantify individual hair fibers in mice, revealing distinct hair phenotypes linked to hormonal, genetic, and age-related factors, and suggesting its potential for new diagnostic methods through hair analysis.
September 2024 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” Among patients diagnosed with hair loss at a Miami dermatology department, this study found that oral minoxidil prescriptions increased significantly among English-preferring patients six months after media attention, but not for Spanish-preferring patients or within three months for either group.
In this study, data from multiple sources found that Baricitinib significantly promoted hair regrowth and improved patient-reported outcomes in those with severe alopecia, with minimal side effects, over a 36-week period.
Baricitinib helps keep hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes regrown for 3 years in most people with severe hair loss.
April 2024 in “Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology” This study found that salvianolic acid B significantly enhanced hair growth and delayed hair follicle cycle progression in mice and human hair models, suggesting potential as a treatment for hair loss.
