TLDR IGF-1 from human placenta helps hair grow.

The study investigated the role of IGF-1, a component of human placenta hydrolysate (HPH), in promoting hair growth. Researchers tested IGF-1 and an amino acid mixture on human dermal papilla cells and observed their effects on GSK-3β and beta-catenin signaling pathways. Additionally, they examined the impact of IGF-1 on hair follicle development in C57BL6/J mice. Results showed that IGF-1 enhanced hair growth signals, increasing both the number and size of hair follicles in treated groups, suggesting that IGF-1 could be a key component of HPH responsible for its hair growth-promoting effects.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 4 months 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.
