December 2011 in “대한본초학회지(본초분과학회지)” In this study, Gyungohkgo-gamibang extract significantly stimulated hair growth and increased hair density and thickness in an alopecia model of C57BL/6 mice, indicating its potential as a hair growth tonic.
September 2011 in “대한미용학회지” This study found that Dansam-Samultang may promote hair growth and hair loss prevention in C57BL/6 mice, with notable improvements in hair follicle number, depth, and dermal thickness.
August 2011 in “동의생리병리학회지 = Journal of physiology & pathology in Korean Medicine” In this study, treatment with Green tea was found to significantly increase cholesterol and triglyceride levels in sebocyte cells in a dose-dependent manner.
This study found that Fructus Ligustri Lucidi water extract significantly increased proliferation in human hair dermal papilla cells, potentially promoting hair growth by activating ERK and Akt pathways.
This study observed that 70.2% of patients with androgenetic alopecia at a dermatologic clinic used complementary and alternative medicine, with topical applications being the most common form.
This study suggests that shiitake mushroom, buckwheat, soybean, cypress, and seaweed fulvescens may be potential candidates for use in scalp care cosmetics due to their antioxidative and antimicrobial properties, safety, and favorable user feedback.
May 2011 in “Utrecht University Repository (Utrecht University)” This study found no statistically significant difference in the severity of insect bite hypersensitivity symptoms between horses receiving a nicotinamide supplement and those receiving a placebo.
