This review highlights the diverse pharmacological properties of Eclipta alba, often used traditionally in Asian medicine, detailing its hepatoprotective, hair growth promoting, antidiabetic, and other therapeutic activities linked to its chemical compounds such as wedelolactone.

This study examined various hair and scalp diseases in children and found that seborrheic dermatitis, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium were the most common, with prevalence varying by age and gender.

This study found that Eclipta alba Hassk. (Bhrungraj) significantly inhibited the growth of human liver cancer cells, suggesting its potential as an anticancer agent.

In this study, hair and scalp disorders accounted for 11.09% of dermatology clinic visits among Turkish women, with seborrheic dermatitis and telogen effluvium being the most common diagnoses.

This study examined patients visiting a dermatology clinic at a secondary health facility and identified the ten most common skin disease groups among them, considering factors like clinical diagnosis, age, gender, and seasonal variations.

This study found that a dietary supplement improved hair strength and shine in participants with hair damage from breakage.

According to this study, rice bran oil was as effective as 2% minoxidil in improving hair growth parameters, such as VEGF expression, follicle diameter, and hair length, in Wistar rats treated for 21 days, showing potential for preventing hair thinning associated with aging.

A specific mutation in PA-PLA1α causes abnormal hair growth.

This study found that Eclipta alba extracts exhibit significant antimicrobial activity against various human pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains, suggesting potential use in treating infectious diseases.

This study found that enhanced wound healing in oral mucosa involves a SOX2-regulated transcriptional network which includes increased expression of keratin K75, and interaction of K75 with the LINC complex may play a crucial role in promoting rapid wound repair.

This review discusses the ethnomedicinal claims, chemical composition, and pharmacological profile of Eclipta alba Hassk., reporting no new clinical results but suggesting future research for traditional medicine validation.

This study observed that despite advances with antiretroviral therapy, over half of patients with HIV continue to experience various skin disorders, highlighting the importance of ongoing dermatological assessment in their care.

Media coverage led to more dermatologists prescribing low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss.

This article provides an overview of Ebola virus disease, focusing on its impact on children and the limited understanding of their disease course, without reporting new clinical findings.

This study found that the use of high pH chemical agents for hair straightening can cause significant damage to hair, including protein degradation and weakened fiber strength, and may lead to permanent scalp conditions like contact dermatitis and cicatricial alopecia.

This review found insufficient evidence to conclude that selenium supplementation is effective for treating Hashimoto's thyroiditis, highlighting the need for more high-quality randomized controlled trials.

This study found that adjusting plant growth conditions, such as the use of elicitors like yeast extract and methyl jasmonate, increased wedelolactone production in Eclipta alba cell suspension culture.

This study observed that the COVID-19 pandemic altered the distribution of dermatological diseases, with increased cases of conditions like scabies and telogen effluvium, while acne and psoriasis cases decreased.

This review synthesizes data on Eclipta alba, highlighting its traditional use for liver, skin, and general health, supported by preclinical evidence of hepatoprotective and other beneficial activities, while noting the need for more rigorous toxicological and clinical safety studies to substantiate its therapeutic applications.

This study investigated the sub-acute toxicity of Eclipta alba extract in Wistar albino rats, finding generally comparable hematological and biochemical parameters to controls, but noted mild morphological liver and kidney changes at the highest dose, highlighting a key area for further safety research.

In this study, a hair tonic formulation with bean leaf juice increased hair growth in male rabbits, with concentration-dependent improvements in hair length and weight compared to a control.

This study suggests a new subtype of alopecia, termed 'acute diffuse and total alopecia of the female scalp' (ADTAFS), characterized by acute and total hair loss in women with a favorable recovery profile.

This study suggests that Platycarya strobilacea extract promotes hair growth in mice by enhancing stem cell factor expression, reducing mast cell numbers, and increasing cytokines associated with hair growth.

This study used phytochemical screening and FTIR spectroscopy with PCA to reveal slight chemical differences between two varieties of Eclipta alba, providing a method for their effective discrimination.

This review discusses various skin reactions after SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination, noting a higher incidence with mRNA vaccines than adenovirus vector vaccines, and reports no new clinical results.

This study investigated the secretome of adipose mesenchymal stem cells and fibroblasts used in skin care products, finding 16 therapeutic pathways involving numerous signaling mechanisms, which may offer skin benefits through anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects.

This article lists online educational resources from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons but reports no new research findings.

In this study, the researchers used molecular docking to identify Erythrabyssin II from Erythrina subumbrans as a potential candidate for anti-alopecia treatment, comparable to minoxidil, suggesting clinical trials are needed to evaluate its pharmacological effects.
