December 2022 in “Bioactive Materials” In this study, researchers developed a nanocomposite microneedle patch containing copper/zinc dual-doped silica nanoparticles, which release substances to promote hair follicle regeneration by targeting various pathophysiological aspects of androgenic alopecia, presenting an effective anti-hair loss treatment strategy.
January 2022 in “Social Science Research Network” This study demonstrates that a newly developed nanocomposite microneedle patch, releasing copper and zinc ions along with quercetin, effectively promotes hair follicle regeneration in androgenic alopecia by targeting various pathophysiological aspects of hair loss.
May 2026 in “Bioactive Materials” This study reported that in degenerative alopecia, Zn²⁺/Cu²⁺-dependent proteases are downregulated and destabilized, and a specially developed microneedle patch reactivated these enzymes, reduced senescence, and enhanced hair regeneration in an animal model.
January 2023 in “Theranostics” This study reported that a curcumin-zinc microneedle patch improved hair regrowth and wound healing in animal models, suggesting potential as a versatile treatment for hair loss.
