research Comparison of single-spin to double-spin platelet-rich plasma centrifugation methods in the treatment of androgenic alopecia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Single-spin and double-spin PRP methods are equally effective for treating hair loss.
research A New Office Based Protocol to Reverse AGA Miniaturization at Early and Advanced Stages
New treatment effectively reverses hair thinning in most patients with mild side effects.
research Evaluation of the effects of adding an adipose tissue‐derived stromal vascular fraction to platelet‐rich plasma injection in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia: A randomized clinical trial
Adding stromal vascular fraction to platelet-rich plasma injections did not significantly improve hair growth in androgenetic alopecia treatment.
research The efficacy of the combination of topical minoxidil and oral spironolactone compared with the combination of topical minoxidil and oral finasteride in women with androgenic alopecia, female and male hair loss patterns: A blinded randomized clinical trial
Both minoxidil-spironolactone and minoxidil-finasteride treatments work for hair loss, but minoxidil-spironolactone is slightly more effective, especially in women.
research Early Antiandrogen Therapy With Dutasteride Reduces Viral Shedding, Inflammatory Responses, and Time-to-Remission in Males With COVID-19: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Interventional Trial (EAT-DUTA AndroCoV Trial – Biochemical)
Dutasteride treatment in men with mild to moderate COVID-19 reduced viral shedding, inflammation, and recovery time without serious side effects.
research Follow‐up of Adverse Drug Reactions from Peginterferon alfa‐2b—Ribavirin Therapy
Peginterferon alfa-2b and ribavirin therapy for hepatitis C can cause serious side effects, some different from those reported in clinical trials.
research Organ regeneration based on developmental biology: past and future
Scientists have made progress in growing mini-organs and regenerating parts of the skin, with plans to treat hair loss in a future trial.
research Effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma for Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Systematic Review and meta-Analysis of Current Evidence in Randomized Controlled Trials
PRP injections help with carpal tunnel symptoms short-term, but more research is needed for long-term effects.
research Raising hairs
Stem cell treatments can potentially treat baldness, with one trial showing hair growth after injecting a hair-stimulating complex, and no safety issues were reported.
research Biomaterials for dermal substitutes
The document concludes that a complete skin restoration biomaterial does not yet exist, and more clinical trials are needed to ensure these therapies are safe and effective.
research Industry updates from the field of stem cell research and regenerative medicine in June 2019
In June 2019, the stem cell research field saw major progress, including new clinical trials, FDA approvals, and industry collaborations.

Topical 5% minoxidil is effective and safe for treating androgenetic alopecia, especially in younger patients with early-stage hair loss.
research Modulation of glucocorticoid action and the treatment of type-2 diabetes
Targeting glucocorticoid action might help treat type-2 diabetes, but human trials are needed.
