This study used a mouse model to reveal that S100A4-positive cells, specifically fibroblasts and immune cells, play a crucial role in nipple development, essential for successful lactation, despite no issues with mammary morphology or milk production.
October 2025 in “Records of Natural Products” This research found that kaempferol, a flavonoid from hair growth-promoting plants, significantly enhanced human dermal papilla cell proliferation and inhibited specific signaling pathways, outperforming minoxidil, with topical application in mice promoting hair growth and thickness, indicating potential as a natural hair loss treatment.
October 2025 in “Scientific Reports” This study found that the extracts of Serenoa repens, when evaluated through chemical, biological, and in silico methods, demonstrated anti-inflammatory, pro-apoptotic, and anti-androgenic activities against prostate cancer cell lines, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits and directing future pharmaceutical development.
January 2025 in “MEDS Public Health and Preventive Medicine” In this study, oral spermidine supplementation was found to significantly prolong the hair follicle anagen phase and reduce hair loss, with effects persisting three months after treatment in healthy participants, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits for hair loss conditions.
January 2025 in “International Journal of Pharmacognosy and Clinical Research” This study reported the development of a scalp serum containing Beta-Sitosterol and nutrient-rich oils, showing stable physicochemical properties, suggesting potential for promoting hair growth and scalp health, though further clinical testing in humans is needed to confirm effectiveness.
