research Ageratum houstonianum Extract and Agerarin Promote Hair Growth via MAPK/AP-1 Axis-Dependent Upregulation of SCUBE3 in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
In this study, Ageratum houstonianum ethanolic extract and its active component agerarin were found to promote hair growth and follicle elongation by increasing SCUBE3 expression via activation of MAPK–AP-1 signaling in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential therapeutic value for treating hair loss.
