November 2024 in “Traditional & Kampo Medicine” The study investigated the hair growth effects of kumazasa extract, derived from Sasa veitchii, using human hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPC) and a mouse model. The extract was found to promote cell proliferation and increase aquaporin 1 (AQP1) expression, similar to epidermal growth factor (EGF). In mice, kumazasa extract demonstrated a hair growth effect comparable to minoxidil but without the inflammatory side effects observed with minoxidil. The study suggests that the hair growth effect of kumazasa extract may be linked to its ability to promote HFDPC proliferation, although the exact relationship with AQP1 expression remains unclear.

The study investigates the effects of Qu-shi-yu-fa Decoction (QSYF) on androgenetic alopecia (AGA) using a mouse model. QSYF was found to significantly accelerate hair regeneration by promoting the transition of hair follicles from the telogen to anagen phase, increasing hair bulb diameter and skin thickness. The decoction upregulated the expression of FOXN1 and TGM3, enhancing the proliferative activity of hair follicle papilla cells and regulating the hair cycle and keratinization process. Additionally, QSYF activated key signaling pathways such as PI3K-AKT and MAPK, demonstrating its therapeutic potential for AGA. The study highlights QSYF's potential as a novel treatment strategy for AGA by identifying new therapeutic targets.
