January 2007 in “Linchuang pifuke zazhi” In this study, licorice was found to significantly increase VEGF protein synthesis and mRNA expression in human dermal papilla cells, which may promote hair growth.
In this study, latanoprost was found to stimulate VEGF protein synthesis in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting it may contribute to promoting hair growth.
January 2006 in “Linchuang pifuke zazhi” This study found that stem cell factor combined with fibronectin and type IV collagen promotes migration of amelanotic melanocytes, which may help explain their movement during vitiligo repigmentation.
This study found that extract mixtures from certain Chinese herbs promoted hair growth in mice by inducing and prolonging the anagen phase when applied both intragastrically and topically.
January 2005 in “Linchuang pifuke zazhi” In this study, transfection of the VEGF165 gene increased hair growth and rejuvenated the atrophic dermis in a mouse model of sclerotic skin.
January 2005 in “Journal of Clinical Urology” The study concluded that long-term finasteride pretreatment significantly reduces intraoperative and postoperative blood loss in patients undergoing transurethral resection of an enlarged prostate, whereas short-term pretreatment does not.
January 2004 in “Linchuang pifuke zazhi” In this study, all-trans retinoic acid was found to promote differentiation and inhibit proliferation of amelanotic melanocytes from human hair follicles, suggesting a potential role in melanogenesis.
January 2003 in “Journal of Clinical Dermatology” This study found that cyclosporin A stimulated hair growth in mouse vibrissae follicles by promoting cell proliferation, reducing apoptosis, and altering the expression of certain growth factor mRNAs.
January 2003 in “Linchuang pifuke zazhi” This study used atomic force microscopy to image surface structures of human epidermal melanocytes, hair follicle amelanotic melanocytes, and mouse melanoma cells, revealing differences in branch structure and granule distribution.
January 2003 in “Linchuang pifuke zazhi” In this study, Zingiber coralliaum oil induced premature hair growth in mouse skin during tests, suggesting its potential for managing hair growth disorders.
January 2002 in “Journal of Clinical Dermatology” This study found that lower concentrations of minoxidil promoted human hair follicle growth in vitro, while a higher concentration inhibited growth.
January 2000 in “Linchuang pifuke zazhi” This case report describes a 58-year-old man with pretibial myxedema and hyperthyroidism, highlighting his cardiac symptoms, exophthalmos, weight loss, and specific dermatological findings over the last four years.
