January 2026 in “Cosmetics” In this study, yeast fermentation of Platycladus orientalis leaves was shown to enhance hair growth-promoting properties by affecting cell cycle phases in human dermal papilla cells, increasing growth factor VEGF, reducing inflammatory factor TGF-β1, and altering the expression of Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related genes.
April 2025 in “Journal of Pharmaceutical Investigation” In this study, injectable microdepots containing rapamycin and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) were developed and demonstrated to effectively promote hair regrowth in mice by sustaining drug release and inducing anagen phase transition in hair follicles through modulating autophagy and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
