June 2015 in “PLOS ONE” This study demonstrated that topical oleuropein induced hair growth in mice by activating the Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling pathway and increasing expression of several growth-related genes in skin tissue.
July 2025 in “Dermatologica Sinica” In this study, compound glycyrrhizin promoted hair regrowth in a testosterone-induced alopecia mouse model and increased human hair dermal papilla cell proliferation, likely through activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

May 2014 in “Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology” In this study, 7-phloroeckol, derived from marine brown algae, was found to promote hair growth by increasing cell proliferation and hair shaft elongation in cultured human hair follicles.
November 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study reported that Moracin M, a compound from the Moraceae family, significantly promoted hair growth and vascular regeneration by enhancing cell proliferation and Wnt signaling activation in laboratory settings, suggesting it may offer a promising alternative to existing hair growth treatments like minoxidil.
