July 2024 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” In this clinical study, a vegan collagen builder (VEGCOL™️) was shown to safely and effectively improve hair growth, skin smoothness, wrinkle reduction, and joint pain relief in adults, with enhancements varying by dose over a 60-day period.
June 2024 in “Skin Appendage Disorders” In this study, injections of PRP and MZT products significantly improved hair thickness, density, and count in AGA patients over six months, with variability observed in the extent of improvement between different formulations.
May 2024 in “Psychotherapie Forum” In this single-case study, researchers found that a combination of behavior and hypnotherapy led to positive psychological changes in a patient with Alopecia areata but did not result in hair regrowth, suggesting psychosomatic approaches may not address the hair loss mechanism.
April 2024 in “Bioactive materials” This study found that a microneedle system delivering VEGF and Ritlecitinib improved hair regeneration in mice with androgenetic alopecia, showing faster anagen onset and better hair quality compared to minoxidil.
January 2024 in “PloS one” This study found that rat hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells can be successfully differentiated into beating atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes by using specific combinations of growth factors and inhibitors in culture, demonstrating their potential to form functional myocardial fibers similar to adult heart cells.
Results are not reported for this study, which used a directed acyclic graph to analyze the association between chest hair amount and prostate cancer, adjusting for age and ancestry.
In this animal study, rats treated with recombinant human growth hormone (at both low and high doses) experienced quicker burn wound healing than controls, with increased micro vessel density and altered expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, alongside changes in oxidative stress and inflammation markers.
December 2023 in “PubMed” This study found that both single- and double-spin PRP preparation methods significantly increased thrombocyte counts and improved hair parameters in males with androgenetic alopecia, with the single-spin method showing a more significant increase in thrombocyte count.
October 2023 in “Acta dermato-venereologica” Minoxidil and platelet-rich plasma can help turn thin hair into thicker hair in male pattern baldness.
August 2023 in “The Indonesian Biomedical Journal” This study on UVB-exposed mice found that topical application of 10% Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil significantly increased hair length and follicle diameter, attributed potentially to its antioxidant compounds.
