February 2020 in “Int J Biologicals” This study found that super-activated platelet lysate increased hair follicle density in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, outperforming platelet-rich plasma and platelet lysate.
In this in vitro study, Yifa Compound Prescription was reported to enhance human hair follicle growth and increase VEGF mRNA expression compared to blank serum.
