Buongiorno Kevin
è una notizia che sta rimbalzando da qualche giorno un po' ovunque ma, in relatà, come "approfondimenti" si trova ancora molto poco.
Nello specifico qualcosa in più trapela da articoli come questo:


"The research, published in Cell Metabolism, focused on what happens in the skin when hair follicles regenerate. The team discovered that when the skin is injured or mildly irritated, immune cells (macrophages) move into the underlying adipose (fat) tissue, signaling fat-cells (adipocytes) to release certain monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) like oleic acid (C18:1) and palmitoleic acid (C16:1). These fatty acids feed the hair-follicle stem-cells, energising them to grow new hair.
Instead of relying on irritation, the researchers then used a serum containing those fatty acids directly.
“We found that only monounsaturated fatty acids … such as oleic acids (C18:1) and palmitoleic acids (C16:1), when topically applied to skin, can also induce hair regeneration," Prof Lin Sung-Jan from NTU said."
hey reported visible hair regrowth in the treated bald mice within roughly 20 days.

The result is exciting: a topical treatment that could bypass some of the limitations and side-effects of existing hair-loss methods (such as surgery, finasteride, minoxidil) and adopt a more natural, fat-cell-metabolism-based route. The fatty acids used are naturally occurring in humans and in many plant oils, which may favour safety."


Ma, come è stato sottolineato:

"But there are important caveats. The research is so far in mice (and some lab tests on human hair follicles), not yet in human clinical trials. As one expert told Newsweek about the mouse study: “In humans, though, more than 90 percent of scalp hair follicles are ‘in a growing phase... so the stimulation of resting hair follicles is not going to have a dramatic effect.”


Non ci resta che attendere ..
A presto
