April 2012 in “PloS one” This study used transgenic mice to show that disrupting TGF-β signaling in K14+ progenitor cells led to increased stem cell proliferation in the tongue.
August 2026 in “Cell Communication and Signaling” This study found that intravenous administration of a shark-derived receptor antibody, 3P17, promoted hair growth in mice by increasing hair matrix cell proliferation and activating leptin-STAT3 signaling, with transdermal leptin delivery enhancing this effect through improved skin penetration.
This study found that a 10% hibiscus leaf extract hair tonic demonstrated better hair growth activity than 2% minoxidil in rabbits but caused eye irritation.
