October 2025 in “Frontiers in Veterinary Science” This study found that treating secondary hair follicle stem cells from Arbas cashmere goats with 10 μg/mL quercetin for 48 hours significantly boosted cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis by activating several signaling pathways, suggesting a potential strategy to enhance cashmere production.
August 2025 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study observed that among male patients who experienced telogen effluvium after platelet-rich plasma treatment for androgenic alopecia, there were elevated levels of TNF-α, androgen receptors, and altered 5α-reductase gene expression, suggesting these factors as potential contributors to this unintended outcome.
September 2023 in “Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology” In this study, the researchers found that a 28-day topical treatment with a postbiotic ferment complex notably altered the scalp microbiome in women with sensitive scalps, increasing certain bacterial species and decreasing others, while also reportedly alleviating symptoms of sensitive skin syndrome in all participants.
This genetic study identified a potential interval for the Marie Unna hypotrichosis gene but found no mutations in the nearby hr gene, suggesting its involvement remains unconfirmed.
In this study, a clear pattern of selective sweep was observed for the SLC24A5 gene, with high linkage disequilibrium and low haplotype diversity, but no clear correlation with UV radiation intensity was found.
January 2017 in “Clinical & medical biochemistry” This study observed that Greek Caucasian women with PCOS had distinct serum hormone levels and a specific AKT2 gene SNP, which may play a role in the condition's characteristics.
November 2016 in “Elsevier eBooks” This chapter reviews genetic defects in female sexual differentiation, focusing on 46,XX disorders of sex development and the impact of genetic factors and sex steroids on development, but reports no new clinical findings.
