TLDR Angelica sinensis may help regrow hair by blocking certain cell death signals.

The study investigated the effects of Angelica sinensis on hair regrowth, focusing on its ability to inhibit apoptosis signaling. The researchers found that treatment with Angelica sinensis promoted hair regrowth by reducing cell death in hair follicles. This suggests that Angelica sinensis could be a potential therapeutic agent for treating hair loss conditions.
