April 2026 in “Biomedicines” This review discusses the potential of short peptides as a novel treatment for hair loss, which is a common issue influenced by factors like hormonal imbalances and stress. Current treatments such as minoxidil and finasteride have side effects that can hinder recovery, while other methods like follicular unit transplantation are not universally applicable. Short peptides, which mimic intracellular signals, offer a promising alternative by stimulating hair regrowth. The review highlights recent advancements in peptide-based treatments, emphasizing their benefits and limitations, and suggests that combining different formulations and nanosystems can overcome these limitations.
