June 2021 in “Heliyon” The review on Glycyrrhiza glabra, or licorice, highlighted its diverse phytochemical constituents and pharmacological activities, noting compounds like glycyrrhizin for their anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. Licorice was recognized for stimulating hair growth, showing better results than 2% minoxidil in treating alopecia. It also provided benefits such as controlling obesity, hepatoprotection, and memory enhancement. The review compiled data from 144 articles, emphasizing traditional uses and potential side effects. Licorice exhibited anticoagulant, antimalarial, and antispasmodic activities, and showed promise in managing diabetes, dyslipidemia, and various cancers. Despite its therapeutic potential, the review cautioned about possible toxicological effects and the need for controlled use and further research.

June 2024 in “Regenerative Therapy” The document explores the potential of exosomes derived from stem cells as a promising therapeutic approach for skin rejuvenation and hair regrowth. Exosomes, small vesicles capable of transferring bioactive molecules, show potential in treating skin aging and hair loss by modulating inflammation, enhancing angiogenesis, and promoting hair follicle activity. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes create an anti-inflammatory environment conducive to hair growth, while dermal papilla cell-derived exosomes activate hair follicle stem cells. The Advanced Hair System, containing exosomes and growth factors, has demonstrated a 95% success rate in treating mild to moderate hair loss, with visible regrowth within 6 weeks. Despite these promising results, the use of exosomes for hair loss treatment is still in early research stages, necessitating further studies to optimize their clinical application.
