July 1990 in “European Journal of Pharmacology” June 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” June 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” May 2026 in “International Journal of Dermatology” This study found that serum 3α-androstanediol glucuronide levels were higher in Indian women with female pattern hair loss and correlated with the severity of the condition.
April 2025 in “Antioxidants” In this study, the researchers found that the water-soluble fraction of Rhus semialata gall extract and its component Penta-O-Galloyl-β-D-Glucose promoted hair growth in human dermal papilla cells, and clinical trials supported these findings, showing improved hair density and appearance compared to placebo.
January 2024 in “Doria (University of Helsinki)” This study found that in mouse pancreatic β-cells, the disruption of keratin filaments due to a specific mutation in keratin 18 resulted in altered GLUT2 localization, with less GLUT2 present on the plasma membrane compared to cells with normal keratin.
December 2023 in “European Journal of Pharmacology” This study found that Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and Vitisin A were able to penetrate mouse skin and improve issues related to hair follicle miniaturization and apoptosis in androgenetic alopecia, suggesting these compounds as potential alternative treatments for hair loss.
February 2023 in “Malaysian Journal of Science. Series B, Physical & Earth Sciences” This review summarizes the use of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite analysis to monitor stress across various bear species and reports no new clinical results.
