research The peptide AC 2 isolated from Bacillus-treated Trapa japonica fruit extract rescues DHT (dihydrotestosterone)-treated human dermal papilla cells and mediates mTORC1 signaling for autophagy and apoptosis suppression
This study isolated a bioactive peptide from Trapa japonica fruit and found that it may protect human dermal papilla cells from DHT-induced stress, suggesting potential for biomedical applications.
