This study found that Ishige sinicola extract stimulated osteoblast differentiation and bone formation in MC3T3-E1 cells, suggesting potential use for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.
This study found that active BMP signaling prevents epithelial stem cell activation and expansion in hair follicles, while its inhibition leads to HF stem/progenitor cell overproduction and matricomas.
