February 2022 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This study found that watercress extract may help treat hair loss by increasing RSPO1 secretion and decreasing DKK1 secretion, improving hair thickness and density in clinical trials.
May 2024 in “Plant and Soil” Among maize plants, this study observed that root hairs tend to grow in air-filled pores at the root-soil interface, but their growth into the soil matrix is limited, posing potential constraints on nutrient uptake, anchorage, and rhizosheath formation.
January 2006 in “The Journal of Korean Medicine Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology and Dermatology” This study found that Rubus coreanum extract promotes hair growth in mice, but its effects are not due to inhibition of specific enzymatic activities or growth factor expression.
11 citations
,
December 2020 in “Notulae botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca” This study found that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus inoculation and shading improved tea seedlings' growth, nutrient absorption, and stress resistance by enhancing root biomass and regulating phytohormone levels and gene expression.
