This study reported that Soulflower Rosemary Redensyl Hair Growth Serum (Tetragain™) significantly improved hair growth, increased hair thickness, reduced hair fall, and decreased graying over 120 days, with participants rating the treatment as effective and experiencing no adverse effects.
March 2024 in “Tissue and cell/Tissue & cell” This study found that in human hair bulbs, telomerase is present mainly in the nuclei of cells undergoing proliferation, particularly in the matrix epithelium during the anagen phase, and sparsely in the outer root sheath during late catagen and telogen phases.
58 citations

,
April 2014 in “PLOS ONE” This study found that compromised antioxidant activity in gray hair follicles affects both mature melanocytes and their immature precursors, linked to down-regulation of melanogenesis-related genes.
25 citations
,
October 1975 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology” This study found that in alopecia areata, hair bulbs are blocked in an early growth stage due to impaired metabolic function in the surrounding connective tissue, hindering hair growth.
22 citations
,
October 2019 in “International Journal of Nanomedicine” This study suggests that the hydrogel nanoparticle formulation of hair growth-promoting compounds may enhance hair follicle penetration and induce hair growth in tested models, demonstrating its potential as a hair growth treatment.
22 citations
,
July 1990 in “Acta Dermato Venereologica” In this study, high concentrations of dihydrotestosterone and testosterone reduced the growth of human hair follicle cells in vitro, while high estradiol levels increased their growth.

,
February 2016 in “American Journal of Pathology” This study indicates that the OVOL1-OVOL2 axis may play a significant role in hair follicle differentiation and growth, potentially serving as therapeutic targets for hair disorders like alopecia and in the tumorigenesis of pilomatricoma.
18 citations
,
January 2017 in “Annals of dermatology/Annals of Dermatology” This study found that Th17 lymphocytes may play a more crucial role than cytotoxic T cells in the development of alopecia areata due to their infiltration around the hair bulb/bulge, which exacerbates hair loss as histopathological grade worsens.
9 citations
,
March 1987 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This study found that epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor accelerated proliferation of human hair bulb papilla cells and root sheath fibroblasts cultured in vitro.
5 citations
,
January 1989 This study found that testosterone and dihydrotestosterone inhibit the growth rates of hair bulb papilla cells and root sheath fibroblasts, especially at higher doses, while estradiol was ineffective.
3 citations
,
May 2019 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study found that a 12-week supplementation with MePL, a solution of miliacin encapsulated within polar lipids, significantly reduced hair density in the telogen phase and improved scalp dryness and hair brightness in women with telogen effluvium.
3 citations
,
January 2005 in “Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin” This study reports that the peptide GPIGS, found in Bacillus sp. M18 conditioned medium, may promote hair growth through the PI-3K/Akt pathway and accelerate hair regrowth in mice.
