January 2026 in “Frontiers in Pharmacology” This review reports that topical minoxidil remains the primary treatment for androgenetic alopecia, while oral and sublingual forms offer alternative options, each with varying efficacy and side effects.
November 2025 in “Nature Communications” This study used a 3D live imaging system to map cell dynamics in human hair follicles, revealing patterns of cell movement and division that help explain hair fiber extrusion during hair growth.
June 2025 in “Journal of Endocrinological Investigation” This review identifies and discusses various endocrine-related causes of hypertension in children and adolescents, emphasizing the role of genetic predispositions and highlighting the need for systematic diagnostic guidelines and genetic sequencing referrals to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies.
June 2024 in “Frontiers in pharmacology” This study found that a 2-deoxy-D-ribose gel stimulated hair follicle growth in mice with androgenic alopecia, showing effects similar to minoxidil without additional benefits from combining the two treatments.
February 2024 in “PloS one” This study found that certain nutraceuticals did not interfere with tamoxifen's inhibition of estrogen in breast cancer cells and may enhance its effects, suggesting potential as an adjuvant therapy for hair loss in patients undergoing endocrine therapy.
February 2024 in “Curēus” This case report describes an 83-year-old man who developed focal neurotoxicity, including paralysis and pain, in the area treated with topical 5-fluorouracil cream for actinic keratoses, suggesting a potential neurotoxic risk associated with the drug, especially in those with a specific genetic deficiency.
January 2024 in “GeroScience” This review explores how radiation-induced hair graying can be used as a model to study the mechanisms behind hair graying, focusing on cellular senescence and potential therapeutic targets to address age-related changes. Results are not provided.
January 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers observed that after mesenchymal cell division in mouse and chicken embryonic skin, elevated migration speed and persistence for 180 minutes contribute to mesenchymal dispersal and preferential recruitment to dermal condensates.
January 2023 in “Åbo Akademi University Research Portal” This study found that vimentin is essential for proper wound healing and cell growth by influencing EMT signaling and mTOR activity in mice.
January 2018 in “Springer eBooks” Terbinafine is the most effective medicine for fungal nail infections, especially for diabetics and those with weak immune systems.
