April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that mice lacking REDD1 experienced an expansion of dermal white adipose tissue through both hypertrophy and hyperplasia, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for skin adipogenesis regulation.
This study found that ethanol and methanol extracts of Spirulina platensis did not exhibit cytotoxic activity on WiDr colon cancer cells.
This study found that creambath preparations with waru leaf extract accelerated hair growth in New Zealand White rabbits, though none matched the positive control; the 37.5% concentration increased hair weight effectively.
This study found that ethanolic extract and fractions of Ceiba leaf tonic may enhance rabbit hair growth similarly to 2% minoxidil.
April 2016 in “Pharmaciana” This study found that a combination of liquorice and aloe vera extracts, particularly combination 1, resulted in the most optimal hair growth in rabbits over a 28-day period.
January 2016 in “Jurnal Farmasi Indonesia” In this study, hibiscus leaf extract hair tonic at 10% concentration showed better hair growth promotion activity compared to minoxidil 2% in a rabbit model, although it caused eye irritation.
This study investigated whether combinations of green tea leaf and gotukola extracts could act as a hair growth stimulant but reports no definitive results on the most effective combination.
This study found that a 10% hibiscus leaf extract hair tonic demonstrated better hair growth activity than 2% minoxidil in rabbits but caused eye irritation.
This study observed that the development of the pars intermedia in long-tailed macaques is closely associated with changes in skin pigmentation during pre- and postnatal periods through melanocyte-stimulating hormone and ACTH activity.
January 2006 in “Advances in developmental biology” This review discusses the roles of the hairless (HR) protein as a corepressor, particularly its impact on RORα-mediated transcriptional repression, and reports no new experimental findings.
