Ferulic acid promotes hair growth via estrogen receptor alpha activation in cultured human dermal papilla cells
This study explores the potential of Cnidium officinale extract (COE) and its active compound, ferulic acid (FA), in promoting hair growth by activating estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) in human dermal papilla cells (DPCs). Both COE and FA were found to significantly enhance DPC proliferation, mitochondrial activity, and hair follicle length during the anagen phase. FA's effects were linked to upregulation of genes related to energy metabolism and increased expression of MAPK pathway proteins and growth factors. Additionally, FA combined with NMN further boosted mitochondrial activity. These results suggest that FA's ERα-activating properties could serve as a promising therapeutic option for alopecia.
