December 2017 in “Dong-ui saengni byeongni hakoeji” This study found that Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix has strong antioxidant activity and may reduce key factors involved in male hair loss in dermal papilla cells.
September 2017 in “Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology” This review discusses recent evidence on the Notch signaling pathway's role in regulating hair follicle development and stem cell differentiation, but provides no new research findings.
September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that while 450nm blue light can inhibit collagen and induce oxidative stress in dermal fibroblasts, 850nm near-infrared light may enhance metabolic activity without causing oxidative damage, suggesting potential for tailored light therapies in skin treatments.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that mackerel fermented fish oil protected human keratinocyte cells from UVB-induced oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals and reducing cellular damage.
This study found that Polygonum multiflorum radix ethanol extract may promote melanin synthesis, potentially helping to turn gray hair back to black by enhancing antioxidant activity and increasing tyrosinase expression.
January 2017 in “International journal of clinical & experimental dermatology” This review discusses how nutritional and lifestyle modifications, including antioxidant use, may enhance hair growth and prevent hair loss without the need for Finasteride, but provides no new clinical findings.
This study suggests that Lychnophora salicifolia Mart. extract in liposomal formulations could serve as an effective topical photochemopreventive agent by improving skin penetration and reducing oxidative and inflammatory damage from ultraviolet radiation.
January 2016 in “SpringerBriefs in bioengineering” This article discusses the structure and function of the skin's epidermis, detailing its role as a protective barrier and nutrient exchange system, without presenting new research findings.
August 2015 in “Free Radical Biology and Medicine” Some treatments can improve skin's defense against damage, but overuse may cause other skin problems.
August 2015 in “Free Radical Biology and Medicine” This study found that Nrf2 activation protected keratinocytes from UVB damage but also caused thickening, inflammation, and cysts, limiting its therapeutic potential for skin protection.
March 2013 in “Molecular & Cellular Toxicology/Molecular & cellular toxicology” In this study, exposure to m-Aminophenol in human keratinocytes altered the expression of thousands of genes involved in inflammation and stress responses, suggesting potential biomarkers for MAP-induced skin toxicity.
August 2011 in “Planta Medica” This study suggests that the hair growth-promoting effects of 4-O-methylhonokiol may be linked to its ability to modulate TGF-β-induced cell cycle arrest and oxidative stress in HaCaT cells.
