April 2019 in “Journal of cellular physiology” In this study, miR-218-5p was found to enhance hair shaft growth and positively regulate the Wnt signaling pathway by targeting SFRP2 during skin and hair follicle development.
January 2025 in “Dialnet (Universidad de la Rioja)” In this case study, a 14-year-old male with treatment-resistant diffuse alopecia areata experienced complete hair regrowth after three monthly sessions of microneedling combined with triamcinolone, dutasteride, and synthetic exosomes, suggesting this therapy might enhance outcomes in refractory cases.
January 2026 in “Ciencia Latina Revista Científica Multidisciplinar” In this case study, a 14-year-old boy with treatment-resistant diffuse alopecia areata achieved complete hair regrowth following three monthly sessions of microneedling combined with injections of triamcinolone, dutasteride, and synthetic exosomes, suggesting that exosome-based therapy could be a promising alternative for managing refractory autoimmune alopecia.
September 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers using live mice observed that oncogenic Kras mutation disrupts hair follicle architecture by sustaining ERK signal activation, which affects stem cell behavior and tissue integrity.
