Glycosaminoglycans of Hair Follicles of Dog Skin

    January 1975 in “ The Histochemical Journal ”

    TLDR Dog hair follicles contain important molecules that may affect hair growth.
    The study from 1975 investigated the glycosaminoglycans present in the hair follicles of dog skin. Glycosaminoglycans are important components of the extracellular matrix and play a role in various biological processes, including the hair growth cycle. The research aimed to understand the distribution and function of these molecules within the skin and hair follicles, contributing to the broader knowledge of skin biochemistry and potentially influencing future studies on hair growth and skin health.

      community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.

      in Research/Science  3 upvotes 10 months ago
      DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.

      community Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

      in Research/Science  258 upvotes 1 year ago
      Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.
