December 2021 in “Frontiers in Microbiology” In this study, researchers found that cepharanthine significantly inhibited HSV-1 replication in vitro by interfering with specific signaling pathways, arresting the cell cycle, and inducing apoptosis in infected cells, highlighting its potential as an antiviral agent.
December 2024 in “Frontiers in Pharmacology” In this study, human cell models of hair follicles showed that araliadiol, a plant-derived polyacetylene compound, promotes hair growth through the p38/PPAR-γ signaling pathway, suggesting its potential as a new drug candidate for alopecia treatment.
July 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study suggests that particulate matter can induce inflammation in human outer root sheath cells, potentially affecting hair growth, through oxidative stress-dependent MAPK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways.
January 2026 in “Food Science and Human Wellness” This research examined krill oil's effects on benign prostatic hyperplasia and found that it inhibited the growth of prostate cells in vitro and reduced prostate size and weight in a BPH rat model, suggesting potential as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for BPH.
April 2025 in “Drug Design Development and Therapy” This study observed that the herbal extract WJWE promoted hair growth and protected hair follicle cells in a DHT-induced murine model of androgenetic alopecia, potentially by engaging the SIRT1/JNK/p38 MAPK and Wnt5A/β-Catenin signaling pathways.
