November 2018 in “Journal of investigative dermatology, venereology and cosmetology” Biofield Energy Treatment, specifically The Trivedi Effect®, can potentially enhance hair growth by increasing the growth activity of human dermal papilla cells.
February 2018 in “Chinese Journal of Dermatology” The study investigated the effects of diammonium glycyrrhizinate on human hair follicles cultured in vitro, focusing on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. It was found that a concentration of 0.01 μmol/L significantly promoted hair follicle growth compared to the control. This concentration also increased the expression of β-catenin, p-GSK3β, and Lef1 in hair matrix cells, suggesting enhanced proliferative activity and delayed transition to the catagen phase. These effects were likely linked to the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

April 2000 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study investigated three nonviral transfection systems for gene transfer in human keratinocytes, with a focus on the adenovirus-enhanced receptor-mediated (AVET) system. The AVET system showed superior efficiency, achieving a transfection rate of 28.8%, compared to lower rates with SuperFect and no success with PrimeFector. The presence of adenovirus was crucial for effective gene delivery. The study also found that slowly adhering keratinocytes were transfected more effectively, suggesting stem cells were less efficiently transfected. The AVET system was able to correct the enzymatic defect in keratinocytes from lamellar ichthyosis patients, but was unsuccessful in organotypic cultures due to barriers like the cornified layer. Overall, the AVET system was a powerful tool for transient in vitro transfection of keratinocytes, with potential applications in gene therapy for skin diseases.
