January 2024 in “Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications” This study found that electronically-operated pneumatic injections for administering a peptide-hyaluronic acid combination were well tolerated and led to significant improvement in hair density and thickness for men with androgenic alopecia over six months, though the exact mechanism remains uncertain.
This review concluded that the efficacy of cosmeceutical hair serums for addressing hair loss lies in their use of bioactive peptides and plant compounds, like flavonoids and sterols, that target eight key contributing factors identified in hair loss conditions.
This scoping review found that chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast cancer patients, especially when using anthracycline- and taxane-based regimens, occurs at higher rates and with more persistence than historically reported.
January 2026 in “Saudi Journal of Internal Medicine” This narrative review suggests that while corticosteroids and Janus kinase inhibitors may be effective for treating ophiasis-pattern alopecia areata in both adults and children, the limited age-specific evidence underscores the need for further research to confirm their efficacy and safety across age groups.
July 2025 in “Biomolecules” This systematic review found that topical adenosine may increase hair thickness and density while reducing hair loss, but the strength of evidence is low due to issues with trial design and sample size.
December 2024 in “Journal of Clinical Medicine” This review explores the hormonal factors linking polycystic ovary syndrome and psychiatric disorders, such as eating disorders, emphasizing a bidirectional relationship that necessitates a multidisciplinary treatment approach; it reports no new clinical results.
January 2021 in “Menoufia Medical Journal” This study found that patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher levels of fasting blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol, suggesting an increased risk of developing coronary artery disease.
