XtalPi announced its hair-loss candidate is in enabling studies. The candidate works at 1/100th the concentration and shows comparable hair-growth scores to 5% minoxidil in a mouse model. It targets dormant follicle stem cells through a different biological pathway.
Key points
Concentration: 1/100th the concentration.
Performance: Comparable hair-growth scores to 5% minoxidil in a mouse model.

Intensive breathing cuts brain blood flow up to 45%
Intensive breathing exercises reduce cerebral blood flow by up to 45%. Stronger altered states were linked to greater changes in the brain's default mode network, which supports self‑reflection.
Key points
Global gray‑matter cerebral blood flow fell by around 45% during the session, on average from 16.24 to 9.81 ml/100g/min.
Those who reported stronger altered states also showed greater changes in the brain's default mode network, which is involved in self‑reflection.

Anodal M1 tDCS reduces thermal pain in triple‑blind trial
Anodal M1 transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) reduced thermal pain compared with sham in a pre‑registered, triple‑blind trial of 50 participants. Cathodal stimulation increased pain compared with sham. The polarity‑dependent effects were stable across 35 minutes post‑stimulation.
Key points
Anodal M1 #tDCS effect size: Cohen's d = 0.85 versus sham.
Cathodal stimulation effect size: Cohen's d = 0.34 versus sham; effects stable for 35 min.
