June 2019 in “Journal of Neuroendocrinology” This study found that isoallopregnanolone reduced stress-induced tic-like behaviors and sensorimotor gating deficits in a mouse model of Tourette syndrome, suggesting potential therapeutic properties comparable to existing treatments like haloperidol and finasteride.
June 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study discovered that the gene Tfap2b identifies a melanocyte stem cell population in zebrafish, essential for regenerating melanocytes with multi-fate potential into adult pigment cells.
December 2023 in “Portuguese journal of dermatology and venereology” This study found that trichoscopic examination can effectively differentiate between alopecia areata and trichotillomania, as specific features such as black dots and exclamation marks favor alopecia areata while hair breaking at various lengths and several unique patterns are exclusive to trichotillomania.
March 2020 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells from type 2 diabetes mice are slightly less effective than controls but offer similar therapeutic benefits for wound healing.
1 citations
,
September 2025 in “Pediatric Dermatology” This systematic review reported that habit reversal training showed the most consistent benefit for treating pediatric trichotillomania, while evidence for pharmacological treatments and alternative therapies like N-acetylcysteine remains insufficient, highlighting the need for early behavioral intervention and further research into standardized treatment protocols.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, researchers demonstrated that the Id2 gene acts as a direct target and effector of BMP signaling, playing a key role in maintaining quiescence in hair follicle stem cells in vivo.
November 2025 in “Сибирский научный медицинский журнал” In this study, TS-13, an antioxidant, accelerated hair regrowth in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia but did not completely prevent cyclophosphamide's hair loss effects, showing potential for mitigating such side effects without interfering with the drug's therapeutic action.
2 citations
,
March 2023 in “Skin research and technology” This study observed that temporal triangular alopecia in infants presents with distinct clinical and dermatoscopic features, indicating the usefulness of dermatoscopy for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
February 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that high TSPEAR expression in colorectal cancer was associated with poor prognosis and correlated with various tumor and immune-related factors.

170 citations
,
September 2020 in “Viruses” This review highlights that drug repositioning offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional drug discovery, especially for treating orphan and resistant diseases like COVID-19, by repurposing existing drugs such as Hydroxychloroquine and Remdesivir.
74 citations
,
October 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study found that mTOR gene expression was significantly increased and S6K1 activation was observed in skin samples from acne patients compared to healthy controls, suggesting mTORC1's involvement in acne pathogenesis.
