September 2016 in “Aktualʹnì pitannâ farmacevtičnoï ì medičnoï nauki ta praktiki” In this study, researchers at Zaporozhye State Medical University developed a 2% minoxidil cream-mask and found it thermally stable during manufacturing, with no chemical interactions between active and base components, signaling potential for effective hair growth stimulation treatments.
August 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this animal study, zinc deficiency in mice was linked to disrupted hair cycles and impaired hair regrowth, which were reversed by zinc supplementation.
July 2016 in “British journal of dermatology/British journal of dermatology, Supplement” Hirsutism treatment should focus more on patient needs and quality of life.
April 2016 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” A 4-year-old girl had a rare hair disorder affecting only part of her scalp.
February 2016 in “Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology” This report highlights a case of disseminated and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis in a 45-year-old African American male and underscores the importance of performing a skin biopsy for diagnosis.
January 2016 in “Çağdaş tıp dergisi” This article reports a case of alopecia areata that responded positively to treatment with topical 1% pimecrolimus.
October 2015 in “CRC Press eBooks” This article reviews the concept of using cell therapy for hair loss treatment, emphasizing the ongoing development of methods to create and implant hair follicles in vitro but reports no new findings.
January 2015 in “Faculty of 1000 Research Ltd” BPH treatment improved with personalized medicine, new drugs, and less invasive surgeries.
March 2014 in “The Journal of Urology” In this study, treatment with a 5a-reductase inhibitor increased CD8+ T cell infiltration in benign prostatic hyperplasia tissues, suggesting an impact on inflammatory responses.
January 2014 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)” The study observed that cell spheres formed from mesenchymal cells of newborn mice skin exhibited upregulation of markers linked to hair follicle regeneration, suggesting a potential hibernation-like state for maintaining viability.
January 2014 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)” This study found that cell spheres formed from mesenchymal cells in newborn mouse skin showed increased expression of genes associated with hair follicle regeneration, though marker distribution varied and requires further investigation.
December 2011 in “University of Southern California Digital Library” In this study, transgenic mice with active BMPR1A signaling in the epidermis had impaired hair follicle morphogenesis and showed age-related hair loss, implicating BMP signaling in hair follicle development and homeostasis.
January 2004 in “Laboratory Animal Science and Administration” This study found that the hairless mutant gene in C 57BL/6 mice affects the hair follicle cycle and leads to early thymus degeneration and distinct skin changes.
