This study found that Peperomia pellucida, a plant traditionally consumed in some countries, contains various antioxidants and extends lifespan under oxidative stress in Drosophila, with no observed toxicity in mice, supporting its potential safety and use in foods and pharmaceuticals.

This study found that povidone iodine, thiabendazole ointment, captan ointment, and Burroughs Wellcome Ringworm Ointment were effective against Trichophyton equinum var. autotrophicum in horses, but large-scale use may be limited by practicality and cost.

Diphenyl ethers can potentially reduce excess oil production when applied on the skin, helping treat conditions like acne.

This study found that Carthamus caeruleus (L.) leaf extracts possess higher antioxidant and antibacterial activities compared to rhizome extracts, and are rich in phenolic and flavonoid compounds, suggesting potential use as a natural therapeutic agent.

This study found that the phytosterols β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol have low-to-negligible inhibitory activity against steroidal 5α-reductase type 2 compared to the synthetic inhibitor dutasteride, with β-sitosterol showing the highest activity among the tested phytosterols.

This study found that Phaeodactylum tricornutum extract enhanced hair follicle cell proliferation, indicated by increased keratin and ERK1/2 signaling, suggesting its potential for hair care applications.

This study found that phosphorus and nitrogen deprivation increased root hair length in Brassica carinata and induced the expression of certain P-responsive genes, such as LRR and PRP.

In this rodent model study, the researchers reported that using low-intensity focused ultrasound with phenytoin enhanced its anti-epileptic efficacy by disrupting plasma protein binding in a region-specific manner, reducing seizure frequency and duration.

This review consolidates evidence on Croton tiglium's bioactive compounds and effects, discussing its potential uses in treatments like hair-growth formulations, yet emphasizes the significant safety challenges due to the plant's inherent toxicity.

Procyanidins and phosphatidic acids help promote hair growth.

This comprehensive review reports that Thuja orientalis L. displays several pharmacological properties, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, anthelminthic, and hair growth-promoting effects, emphasizing its potential in modern medicine and the need for further research.

This study found that the Arabidopsis thaliana protein Formin 2 localizes to plasmodesmata and is crucial for regulating their permeability by anchoring actin filaments, which affects virus susceptibility.

Abrus precatorius has medicinal benefits but can be toxic.

In this study, higher concentrations of CaCl2 and specific inhibitors were found to inhibit the growth of seed roots and root hairs, but these effects could be reversed with certain treatments.

This study found that root hair growth is influenced by a complex interplay of auxin, inorganic phosphate, and transcription factors RSL2/RSL4, with reactive oxygen species playing a key role in this regulation.

This review discusses the ethnobotanical uses and phytochemistry of Plumbago zeylanica L., highlighting its potential pharmacological benefits for conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that phyto-vesicles of ß-sitosterol showed better absorption and improved activity for treating androgenetic alopecia in rats compared to the compound and its complex.
