September 1993 in “Addiction” Hair analysis can effectively monitor long-term drug use.
March 2026 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” Understanding how certain proteins and genetic changes control skin stem cells is key to treating skin diseases.
January 2025 in “Health engineering.” Combining stem cells and organoids could improve skin regeneration treatments.
September 2024 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)” This study surveyed 44 young adult cancer survivors, aged 20-39, to understand their information needs regarding hair loss due to cancer drug therapy. Participants were most satisfied with information on wig maintenance, head cleanliness, and the potential for anticancer drugs to cause hair loss. However, they were least satisfied with information on wig pricing and changes in the amount and quality of recurrent hair. The primary sources of information were the Internet, nurses, and peers with the same condition. Unmet needs included more opportunities to consult with others who experienced hair loss, information on wigs for younger people, and details on recurrent hair loss. The study highlights the need for tailored information for younger generations, improved health literacy support, and better access to consultations with individuals who have experienced hair loss.
