October 2023 in “ Current Issues in Molecular Biology ”

Mi Hye Kim, Seong Chul Jin, Hee Kyung Baek, Woong Mο Yang

Studysummary In this study, researchers observed that the YH complex, made from Astragalus membranaceus and Cinnamomum cassia, promoted hair regrowth and increased hair shaft thickness in mice, potentially through increased growth factors and Wnt/β-catenin signaling, suggesting its use for treating various forms of hair loss.
