,
August 2022 in “International journal of molecular sciences” This study demonstrated that α-phellandrene promotes dermal papilla cell proliferation through a cAMP-mediated pathway and upregulates VEGF expression, suggesting its potential use in hair loss prevention.
44 citations
,
June 2023 in “Cell Reports” This study investigated dermal fibroblasts in mouse skin using single-cell RNA sequencing and identified signaling pathways that influence adipogenesis, finding that IL-1-NF-κB promotes, while WNT-β-catenin inhibits, the adipogenic potential of these cells, with implications for wound healing and scar formation.
