November 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study explores the efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom) extract in promoting hair growth and scalp health by inhibiting 5α-reductase isoform 2 (5αR2), a key enzyme involved in hair loss. Using an in vitro model with murine fibroblast BALB/3T3 cells pre-treated with testosterone, the researchers found that G. lucidum significantly inhibited 5αR2 expression, with effects comparable to known botanicals like Serenoa repens, Ajuga reptans, and the pharmaceutical finasteride. These findings suggest that G. lucidum could be effective in treating hair loss, though further in vivo studies are needed to confirm these results.

June 2007 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” The study demonstrated that MT-DADMe-ImmA, a potent inhibitor of MTAP, effectively induced apoptosis in head and neck cancer cell lines FaDu and Cal27 by increasing MTA levels and decreasing polyamines, leading to mitochondrial changes and activation of caspases. This treatment selectively targeted cancer cells without affecting normal fibroblasts, suggesting its potential as a cancer treatment. In a mouse model, MT-DADMe-ImmA led to tumor remission, highlighting its promise for cancers sensitive to DNA methylation changes. Despite inducing apoptosis, the treatment did not alter the protein levels of mitochondrial markers Bcl2 and Bax.
