June 2026 in “Advanced Healthcare Materials” This study found that engineered extracellular vesicles (293F-EGF-EV), enriched in EGF mRNA, significantly aided skin wound healing in vitro and in a rat model by promoting fibroblast activity and improving wound recovery through processes like angiogenesis and reduced scarring.
May 2025 in “Journal of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences” In this study, S. chamaejasme extract applied topically to mice enhanced hair growth dose-dependently by increasing hair follicle size and dermal thickness, while upregulating mRNA expression related to hair growth, suggesting its potential as a hair growth treatment.
January 2013 in “Zhongguo bingli shengli zazhi” In this rat study, Coriaria sinica Maxim extract significantly improved burn wound healing by enhancing epithelial growth and promoting hair regrowth, possibly through early-stage protein and mRNA expression changes.
