and Models for the Development of Hair Growth Materials By Regulating the -Catenin Signaling Pathways.

Although hair loss contributes to various social and economic, research methods for material development are currently limited. In this study, we established a research model for developing materials for hair growth through the regulation of -catenin. We confirmed that 100 nM tegatrabetan (TG), a -catenin inhibitor, decreased the proliferation of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPCs) at 72 h.

Microbial Diversity Analysis of Nakai from Ulleung-Do of South Korea Using Next-Generation Sequencing.

Bupleurum latissimum Nakai is a rare endemic species native to Ulleung-do in South Korea. This study aimed to report on the rhizosphere soil microbial diversity of B. latissimum.

Ethyl Acetate Fraction from Persimmon () Ameliorates Cerebral Neuronal Loss and Cognitive Deficit via the JNK/Akt Pathway in TMT-Induced Mice.

This study was conducted to assess the antioxidant capacity and protective effect of the ethyl acetate fraction from persimmon () (EFDK) on H₂O₂-induced hippocampal HT22 cells and trimethyltin chloride (TMT)-induced Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice. EFDK had high antioxidant activities and neuroprotective effects in HT22 cells. EFDK ameliorated behavioral and memory deficits in Y-maze, passive avoidance and Morris water maze tests.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hibiscus syriacus.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hibiscus syriacus L. is presented in this study. The genome is composed of 161 019 bp in length, with a typical circular structure containing a pair of inverted repeats of 25 745 bp of length separated by a large single-copy region and a small single-copy region of 89 698 bp and 19 831 bp of length, respectively.

Antioxidant activity and total phenolic contents of three Bupleurum taxa.

Bupleuri Radix (Bupleurum spp. root) is one of the most important crude drugs in Korea, China and Japan. We investigated the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of three Bupleurum taxa (B.

Climate oscillation during the Quaternary associated with landscape heterogeneity promoted allopatric lineage divergence of a temperate tree Kalopanax septemlobus (Araliaceae) in East Asia.

We investigated the biogeographic history of Kalopanax septemlobus, one of the most widespread temperate tree species in East Asia, using a combined phylogeographic and palaeodistribution modelling approach. Range-wide genetic differentiation at nuclear microsatellites (G'(ST) = 0.709; 2205 samples genotyped at five loci) and chloroplast DNA (G(ST) = 0.

Bis(2,6-dimethyl-pyrazine-κN)diiodidozinc(II).

In the title compound, [ZnI(2)(C(6)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Zn(II) ion is coordinated by two iodide anions and two N atoms from 2,6-dimethyl-pyrazine in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry.
