Compound Platycladus orientalis tincture promotes hair regrowth and is associated with hair-cycle progression and Wnt/β-catenin-related signaling.
Journal of ethnopharmacology · 2026
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Alopecia is traditionally managed in Chinese medicine using topical botanical preparations aimed at restoring hair-cycle dynamics and improving the follicular microenvironment. Compound Platycladus orientalis tincture (CPT), an ethanol-based polyherbal formulation consisting of Platycladi Cacumen, Szechwan Chinaberry Fruit, and Herba Speranskiae Tuberculatae, has… Read on PubMed →
Living Probiotic Microneedles Coordinate Antiandrogen and Nitric Oxide Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia.
ACS applied materials & interfaces · 2026
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is characterized by follicular miniaturization mediated by androgens along with chronic inflammatory and vascular disturbances. These alterations suggest broader dysregulation involving endocrine pathways, immune activity, and vascular function. Current therapies such as finasteride and minoxidil provide limited and often transient improvement because they target only… Read on PubMed →
Oral myo-inositol plus D-chiro-inositol (3.6:1) reduces insulin resistance pathway biomarkers in acne-involved skin among subjects with metabolic comorbidities: A gene expression study.
Neuro endocrinology letters · 2026
BACKGROUND: Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance promote acne pathogenesis through reduced Forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) signaling and increased mechanistic target of rapamycin (MTOR) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) activity. While oral myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI) supplementation may improve insulin sensitivity, evidence regarding direct pathway modulation in… Read on PubMed →
