adenosine hair follicle growth dermal papilla cells angiogenin anti-human angiogenin antibody

TLDR Adenosine boosts hair growth by increasing angiogenin levels.

The study investigated the effects of adenosine on human hair follicle growth and angiogenin expression. It aimed to evaluate how adenosine could promote hair growth and influence the expression of angiogenin, a protein involved in the formation of new blood vessels. The research was published in 2016 in a Chinese journal, and it contributed to the understanding of potential treatments for hair loss by exploring the pharmacological effects of adenosine on hair follicles.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
