Revolutionary Micro-Needle Patch for Alopecia Treatment
Researchers from MIT, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Harvard Medical School have developed a groundbreaking treatment for alopecia areata using microneedle patches loaded with cytokines. These patches not only reduce inflammation associated with alopecia but also teach the immune system to stop attacking hair follicles. In tests on mice, the patches led to significant hair growth, increased presence of regulatory T cells, and reduced inflammation, offering a potential long-lasting and pain-free solution with few side effects.
