November 2025 in “DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals)” This study suggests potential bidirectional causal links between certain sleep traits, like insomnia and reduced sleep duration, and types of alopecia, including alopecia areata; however, these associations did not hold after correcting for multiple tests, warranting cautious interpretation.
September 2025 in “British Journal of Hospital Medicine” This study found that certain plasma protein ratios, specifically AGRN/HSPG2 and DECR1/FKBP1B, were significantly associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata, indicating potential causal relationships but reverse causality was not supported.
June 2025 in “Indian Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry” In this study, researchers developed a precise and rapid method for simultaneously analyzing minoxidil and finasteride in local therapeutic formulations, ensuring that the excipients did not interfere, making it suitable for routine quality control.
This study suggests that certain gut microbiota may influence androgenic alopecia, potentially acting as protective or risk factors, and indicates opportunities for developing microbiota-based treatments.
This study explored Black Sea shark liver oil-based emulgels, finding that the addition of borage oil (Gel 2) enhanced the anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties compared to shark liver oil alone (Gel 1) and a reference diclofenac gel, suggesting promising eco-friendly applications in dermatocosmetics.
This study developed a high-performance deep learning model using the Inception-ResNet v2 architecture to classify 10 hair disease classes, achieving an accuracy of 94.7% and balanced precision, recall, and F1-scores of 0.94, suggesting reliability for automated dermatology diagnostics.
April 2024 in “Frontiers in microbiology” This study found that certain gut microbiota are linked with androgenetic alopecia, identifying both risk and protective microbial factors, which could inform targeted probiotic strategies for managing AGA.
April 2024 in “Skin research and technology” This study suggests that valine and certain VLDL subfractions are positively associated with androgenetic alopecia risk, while reverse analysis showed AGA does not affect these metabolites.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study reports that improvements to the EczemaNet pipeline, incorporating pixel-level segmentation and data augmentation, enhanced the reliability and interpretability of assessing atopic dermatitis severity from digital images.

September 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study describes the development of a prototype clinical expert system that uses a belief rule-based inference methodology to improve the risk stratification and diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome by addressing uncertainties in clinical data and domain knowledge.
April 2026 in “Mathematics” This study used a probabilistic framework to show that platelet-rich plasma preparation results in significant variability in platelet dose due to factors like injected volume and concentration factor.
January 2024 in “Wiadomości Lekarskie” In this study, researchers developed a novel computational framework using deep reinforcement learning to identify strategies for cellular reprogramming in gene regulatory networks, showing its effectiveness in a model of immune response against infection.
July 2023 in “Journal of Biomedical Science” In this review, the authors emphasize that phenotypic heterogeneity in genetic systems and human diseases is influenced by stochastic fluctuation and network topology, proposing that ultrasensitivity and threshold effects explain this variability, which may inform strategies for preventing and treating genetic diseases.
