September 2017 in “Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine” This study found that two short peptides derived from pigment epithelium-derived factor significantly accelerated full-thickness skin wound healing in mice through mechanisms that may involve increased cell proliferation and stem cell mobilization.
January 2024 in “Cosmetics” In this in-vitro study on human hair follicle cultures, researchers reported that the HAIR & SCALP COMPLEX significantly enhanced hair bulb growth and dermal papilla regeneration compared to other treatments, suggesting a potential new approach for managing hair loss and promoting growth.
January 2018 in “대한본초학회지(본초분과학회지)” This study found that SHJ extract increased hair growth and melanogenesis in mice, suggesting potential use in cosmeceuticals for hair care.

August 2012 in “Resources and Environment” This study found that landfill leachates from Olusosun and Aba-Eku in Nigeria can cause liver and kidney dysfunction in Wistar rats, potentially posing a health risk through chemical exposure.
April 2023 in “Pharmacognosy Magazine” In a study using a mouse model, Cerasus serrulata flower extracts significantly increased β-catenin and VEGF expression, promoting hair blackening and suggesting potential as a treatment for premature greying.

April 1998 in “Current Biology” This study found that benign tumors with a high risk of malignant progression primarily arise from hair follicle cells when a mutant ras gene is expressed in a specific population of epidermal cells in mice.
135 citations
,
December 2006 in “PLoS Medicine” This study suggests that intermediate-size hyaluronate fragments may enhance keratinocyte proliferation and improve skin thickness in atrophic conditions through a CD44-dependent mechanism.
104 citations
,
June 2020 in “Journal of Endocrinology” This study suggests that in rats, maternal hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance lead to activation of ferroptosis in the gravid uterus and placenta, mediated by different molecular and cellular mechanisms.
