May 2021 in “Austin journal of pharmacology and therapeutics” Physalis fruits have medicinal properties that can help treat various diseases and have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antitumor effects.
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.
January 2026 in “Open MIND” A recent study explores a non-androgen pathway for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) by targeting the PIEZO1 and MLCK axis, which is implicated in follicular miniaturization due to connective tissue sheath hypercontractility. The research screened a library of 2,529 natural compounds using advanced computational methods to identify candidates that could potentially inhibit this pathway, with promising bioavailability for topical application. However, these findings are purely computational and require further *in vitro* validation, with no current clinical claims or products available.
