December 2024 in “Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition” In this narrative review, researchers examined common misconceptions and questions about creatine monohydrate, addressing issues such as its potential effects on muscle benefits without exercise, interactions with caffeine, inflammatory properties, safety during pregnancy, and effects on adolescents, among others.
November 2024 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study observed that a topical serum containing Silybum marianum extract, manganese PCA, and Lespedeza capitata extract enhanced hair follicle growth and hair shaft elongation, while prolonging the anagen phase in an ex vivo human scalp skin model, suggesting potential benefits for hair loss treatment.
April 2024 in “Journal of translational medicine” This review highlights the diverse roles of melanocytes in pigmentation, immunity, and hearing among other functions, their involvement in disorders, and their emerging potential in regenerative medicine, including applications in disease modeling and therapy development using advanced technologies.
March 2024 in “Journal of functional foods” This study found that both marine and bovine collagen peptides may help prevent hair loss by supporting epithelial hair follicle stem cell functions, with marine peptides maintaining hair in the growth phase and bovine peptides increasing stem cell presence in hair follicle regions.
August 2023 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study found that cell-free fat extract (CEFFE) enhanced hair growth in mice with androgenetic alopecia by increasing hair follicle density and promoting proliferation while regulating the DHT/AR pathway.
August 2023 in “International Journal of Nanomedicine” This study found that a graphene-barium titanate nanosystem can accelerate wound healing by killing bacteria and promoting fibroblast proliferation, demonstrating effectiveness in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria-infected wounds in mice.
July 2023 in “Journal of exploratory research in pharmacology” In this case report, a 47-year-old man with extensive psoriasis saw significant improvement in scaling and itching after using a new lotion containing clobetasol and other ingredients for one week, but further research is needed to confirm these findings.
This study found that UV radiation-induced fibroblast depletion in the skin is primarily due to a deregulated inflammatory response, with T cells aiding fibroblast survival under stress.
