June 2017 in “Biochimie open” This study determined that the human steroid 5α-reductase enzymes localize to the endoplasmic reticulum in HeLa cells, with protein tagging affecting expression and inducing protein aggregates for some isoforms.
April 2026 in “Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine” This study found that the GPRC6A-Duox1 signaling pathway influences hair cycle progression and testosterone-mediated hair loss in mice, suggesting that disruption of this pathway leads to resistance against testosterone-induced hair loss and longer anagen phase duration.
February 2026 in “The Journal of Dermatology” This study reports that ritlecitinib 50 mg, with or without an initial loading dose, demonstrated meaningful and sustained efficacy up to 24 months in the Asian subpopulation with severe alopecia areata, showing significant scalp, eyebrow, and eyelash hair regrowth, along with an acceptable safety profile.
33 citations
,
May 2017 in “Journal of Clinical Oncology” This phase I study reported that ETC-159, targeting Wnt signalling, showed tolerable safety profiles at doses that inhibit its pathway, though bone turnover markers increased, warranting early and regular monitoring. No tumor responses were observed, but two patients achieved stable disease for several cycles.
2 citations
,
October 2023 in “Frontiers in Immunology” In this study, researchers used Mendelian randomization to find a significant genetic association between rheumatoid arthritis and an increased risk of alopecia areata, suggesting RA patients should be vigilant for potential AA development.
