August 2024 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study reported that individuals experiencing hair loss in Karbala, Iraq, showed significantly lower levels of vitamin D3, ferritin, and zinc than those with normal hair, suggesting a link between these deficiencies and hair loss risk.
August 2024 in “International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR)” In this study, 10 men with androgenetic alopecia who did not respond to standard treatments showed significant hair regrowth and satisfaction after being treated with polydioxanone scalp threads, suggesting a potential therapeutic advantage for this approach.
August 2024 in “Clinical and Medical Engineering Live” This literature review examines the complexities of childhood alopecia areata, focusing on its forms, gene expression, and causes, providing a comprehensive analysis of this autoimmune disorder.
June 2024 in “International Journal of Health Science” This review found that recent innovations, such as topical medications, lasers, and microneedling, have shown significant reductions in androgenetic alopecia indicators, but more research is needed to refine treatments.
June 2024 in “Zagazig University Medical Journal” This study found that intralesional vitamin D injections in patients with alopecia areata resulted in mild effectiveness, with minimal hair regrowth observed in 75% of patients, and no significant change in SALT scores post-treatment compared to baseline.
This pilot study found that a high fat lard diet may protect against fibrosis and affect the hair follicle cycle in a mouse model of systemic sclerosis, unlike a high fat coconut oil diet.
June 2024 in “IP Indian journal of clinical and experimental dermatology” This study reports that platelet-rich plasma therapy significantly improved hair regrowth in alopecia areata and reduced the severity of atrophic acne scars over six months, with generally mild side effects.
May 2024 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This study found that injecting mouse hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells (moMSCORS) into C57BL/6 mice reduced the incidence and severity of type 1 diabetes by modulating immune responses, suggesting potential for therapeutic use due to their immunosuppressive effects.
May 2024 in “Medical Journal Armed Forces India/MJAFI” This study found that low-level light therapy was as effective as 5% minoxidil for increasing hair density in men with androgenetic alopecia over six months.
In this study, researchers found that autologous PRP injections, when used as an adjuvant treatment with topical minoxidil, did not provide a significant increase in hair density compared to placebo in men with androgenetic alopecia in northeastern India.
