|
| Topical application of UFP-512 increased the hair length in hair organ cultures and promoted the proliferation and the migration of outer root sheath cells. [Biomolecules & Therapeutics] |
|
|
|
| Scientists treated HaCaT cells which resembled human epidermis with IC50 concentration of all-trans-Retinoic Acid-spermine conjugate and analyzed their miRNA expression profile. [Pharmacogenomics Journal] |
