May 2026 in “International Journal of Biological Macromolecules” The study developed an injectable hydrogel composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sodium alginate, and hyaluronic acid to deliver Poria cocos extracellular vesicles (PCEVs) for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). This hydrogel effectively localized and preserved the vesicles within hair follicles, promoting sustained release. In a DHT-induced AGA mouse model, the PCEV-loaded hydrogel significantly improved hair regrowth, follicle density, and dermal thickness by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. The treatment upregulated differentiation markers and downregulated stem-cell quiescence markers, reversing stem-cell quiescence and promoting follicular regeneration. This approach offers a scalable and stable strategy for hair loss treatment.

May 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study developed a chitosan-based minoxidil nanogel for improved topical delivery in treating alopecia. The optimized nanogel, created using ionic gelation and a Box–Behnken design, had a particle size of 135.4 nm, low polydispersity, high positive zeta potential, and 89.7% entrapment efficiency. It demonstrated skin-compatible pH, pseudoplastic rheological behavior, good spreadability, and physical stability. In vitro studies showed sustained drug release over 48 hours and better drug deposition compared to conventional minoxidil solutions, indicating its potential as an effective treatment for alopecia.
