June 2022 in “Phytomedicine” The study investigates the effects of the natural product Shi-Bi-Man (SBM) on hair regeneration, focusing on its activation of the FGF pathway in dermal papilla cells. Using C57BL/6 mice, the researchers administered SBM in both freeze-dried powder and solution forms, observing significant hair regrowth without toxicity. The findings suggest that SBM promotes hair growth by triggering the FGF signaling pathway, offering a potential alternative treatment for alopecia with fewer side effects compared to current FDA-approved drugs like finasteride and minoxidil.
