March 2026 in “ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces” This study described a novel three-dimensional-printed microneedle system designed for improved transdermal delivery of minoxidil to treat hair loss, demonstrating effective hair regrowth and safety in a mouse model while allowing sustainable needle base recovery.
This study developed a novel, 3D-printed dissolving microneedle system for delivering minoxidil to treat hair loss, which showed pH-triggered drug release and enhanced hair regrowth in an alopecia mouse model, offering a potentially sustainable and safe transdermal therapy option.
September 2024 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This study reports that cancer patients experiencing chemotherapy-induced alopecia actively engage in Facebook groups for support, instructions, and product recommendations related to scalp cooling, but only 5% consult dermatologists for hair loss concerns, highlighting the platform's influence on patient treatment decisions.
This study suggests that accessing information at the point of care has become a crucial clinical skill, viewed as a communication skill by patients, which can enhance trust and involvement through effective communication and transparency during consultations.

,
June 2000 in “Experimental dermatology” This study investigated a spontaneous mutation in mice resulting in hair abnormalities and elevated IgE levels, which resembles human Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.
30 citations
,
March 2009 in “Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” This article describes petechiae on the fingertips as a presenting symptom of dermatitis herpetiformis but reports no new clinical results.
26 citations
,
September 1999 in “Canadian Journal of Botany” This study found that a recessive mutation in the RHD4 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana leads to slower and more variable tip growth in seedling root hairs, resulting in shorter and wider hairs than in wild-type plants.
21 citations
,
April 2019 in “Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology” This article reviews the causes and clinical presentation of pseudofolliculitis barbae, highlighting how genetic susceptibility and hair removal practices contribute to its development, but reports no new research findings.
