TLDR Cold shock therapy may help hair grow by increasing certain proteins.
The study investigates the effects of cold shock therapy on hair growth, focusing on the upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The research suggests that cold shock therapy can promote hair growth by enhancing the expression of these proteins, which are known to play roles in cellular stress responses and angiogenesis, respectively. The findings indicate a potential therapeutic approach for hair loss conditions, although the document does not specify the number of participants involved in the study.
