June 2021 in “Case reports in gastrointestinal medicine” In this case study, a man's hair and nail symptoms, following dental treatments, resolved with mesalazine therapy after investigating suspected clindamycin allergy and diagnosing mucosal changes.
January 2026 in “Aging and Disease” This study found that, despite confirming MC1R expression and functional cAMP signalling, α-MSH treatment did not alleviate UVA-induced stress in adult dermal fibroblasts, suggesting that α-MSH-MC1R may not directly protect against UVA-induced photoaging in these cells.
December 2023 in “Journal of ethnopharmacology” This study found that tribuloside, a flavonoid from Tribulus terrestris L., enhances melanin production in human melanocytes, zebrafish, and human skin samples without causing toxicity, potentially through inhibiting PDE to increase cAMP levels and promote the melanin biosynthesis pathway.
February 2023 in “Scientific Reports” This study suggests that cold atmospheric microwave plasma treatment may promote hair renewal by activating β-catenin and YAP/TAZ signaling in human dermal papilla cells.
This study found that local therapy with trichoriboside and trichosaccharide significantly increased cAMP levels in hair follicles of men with androgenic alopecia, with trichoriboside showing greater activity.
May 2026 in “Journal of Nanobiotechnology” This study found that using a palmitoylated peptide, Pal-MPAPO, delivered through hydrogel microneedles effectively promoted hair regrowth in mice with efficacy comparable to minoxidil, while requiring less frequent application.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study observed that β-catenin overexpression in human squamous cell carcinoma cells led to increased CREB expression, which significantly enhanced clonogenic activity, suggesting CREB as a β-catenin-regulated factor promoting cancer characteristics.
November 2022 in “Journal of Advances in Pharmacy Practices” This study found that a 5% concentration of terentang stem bark extract was the most effective in promoting hair growth in male rabbits.
March 2022 in “Molecules” This study found that adenosine promotes hair growth by stimulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in cultured human dermal papilla cells through activation of the adenosine receptor.
