July 2025 in “Scientific Reports” This study found that dermal papilla cell-conditioned medium can protect against UV-induced skin aging in a mouse model by modulating ferroptosis pathways, highlighting its potential for treating oxidative stress-related skin conditions.
February 2019 in “International Journal of Dermatology and Clinical Research” In this study, Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine was found to weaken hair follicle morphogenesis and inhibit essential cell activities in a model simulating accumulated glycation.

February 2015 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This study found that colchicine treatment significantly reduced hair fiber elongation in cultured hair follicles and altered protein expression and activity in dermal papilla cells, suggesting a role for the ubiquitin-proteasome system in its effects.
April 2018 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study demonstrated that prevascularized human skin constructs containing engineered hair follicles can successfully induce human hair growth when grafted onto mice by promoting blood supply to the grafted skin.
January 2019 in “Proceedings for Annual Meeting of The Japanese Pharmacological Society” In this study, injecting Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine into skin tissue weakened hair shaft and follicle formation, likely by inhibiting cell proliferation and migration needed for hair follicle morphogenesis.
