October 2023 in “International journal of women’s dermatology” Hair camouflage methods like wigs and extensions can help Black women with alopecia feel better but may also damage hair if not used carefully.
The research identified key molecules that help hair matrix and dermal papilla cells communicate and influence hair growth in cashmere goats.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
