"Cinnamic Acid: A Promising Breakthrough in Hair Growth Treatment"

Researchers at Yokohama National University in Japan have discovered that cinnamic acid, a small molecule that activates oxytocin receptor expression, shows promise in promoting hair growth. Their study found that cinnamic acid treatment led to an increase in the expression of oxytocin receptors, allowing more oxytocin into the system and increasing hair growth gene expression in human dermal papilla cells. This research opens up a new avenue for developing hair growth-promoting products targeting oxytocin and may lead to more effective treatments for alopecia.
