community Cell senescence-targeted treatment for hair loss, has anyone tried any products/enzymes etc. that use this theory

5 upvotes 1 year ago

DHT causes hair loss by driving cells into senescence, and a polyphenol in black chokeberry may reverse this. A product using this theory is being considered for use alongside finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling.

community MCL1 does anyone knows anthying about it

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 1 year ago

MCL-1 protein may help maintain hair follicles in the growth phase and prevent miniaturization. There is interest in experimental treatments like exosomes, peptides, or stem cell serums to upregulate MCL-1 for hair loss, especially for those not using minoxidil or finasteride.

community Published in Nature: Osteopontin, a protein involved in the growth of hair on moles could be the key to our troubles.

13 upvotes 3 years ago

Osteopontin, a protein involved in hair growth on moles, may help with hair loss. However, it is also linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, and bone development, so caution is advised.

community IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 1 year ago

IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.

community Baldness Breakthrough: microRNA Stimulates Hair Growth in Aging Follicles

316 upvotes 3 years ago

miR-205, a tiny RNA, can stimulate hair growth by softening aging hair follicle stem cells in mice. Future tests aim to see if this can work in humans.

community Expectations control for SCUBE3

20 upvotes 2 years ago

SCUBE3, a protein linked to hair growth in moles, was discovered over 25 years ago and is being developed by Amplifica for potential hair loss treatment. Concerns exist about SCUBE3's association with cancer, as it is a protein that promotes cell growth, which could potentially trigger cancer development if used for hair growth therapy.
