December 2015 in “European journal of cell biology” In this study, researchers demonstrated that follicular tight junctions in porcine skin form a barrier to nanoparticle penetration, particularly in upper regions, which supports its use as a model for human skin.
July 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that the cosmetic olfactory receptor agonist cyclohexyl salicylate may stimulate hair growth and expand stem cell progeny, suggesting potential as a cosmetic adjuvant for hair loss.
March 2024 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This study observed that dandruff-affected scalp skin has increased T-cell infiltration in the epidermis and a reduction in the hair follicle's physiological immune privilege, particularly in the suprabulbar outer root sheath area, indicating a distinct immune microenvironment compared to healthy scalp.
