August 2024 in “Biomolecules & Therapeutics” In this study, the researchers reported that a newly developed PYGL inhibitor, HTPI, enhanced hair growth in an ex-vivo culture by reducing oxidative damage in hDPCs and inhibiting glycogen degradation in hORSCs, showing potential as a treatment for hair loss comparable to minoxidil.
Hair coloring and bleaching can permanently break down hair protein and temporarily change its properties.
July 2026 in “Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Research” This literature review indicates that skin aging involves complex interactions of both internal and external factors, leading to oxidative stress and cellular damage. The authors report promising results from novel anti-aging interventions, including antioxidants, senolytics, and herbal preparations, for slowing skin aging progression.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, researchers observed distinct aging signatures in mouse keratinocytes, with increased expression in older mice, and noted relevant pathway changes that were also evident in human skin, suggesting potential insights into intrinsic skin aging.

January 1991 in “Comparative biochemistry and physiology. A. Comparative physiology” This study found that a dietary change in common marmosets significantly reduced in vitro erythrocyte haemolysis, improved skin lesions, and promoted complete fur regrowth, possibly due to increased vitamin E levels.
