    TLDR Lactobacillus plantarum-fermented plant extracts promote hair growth and thickness.
    The study investigated the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum-fermented plant extracts (MBN) on hair growth in C57BL/6 mice and HaCaT cells. Mice treated with MBN topically for 21 days showed significant hair regrowth and increased hair thickness. Gene expression analysis revealed that VEGF and KGF were expressed in a dose-dependent manner, while TGFβ1 was not. Additionally, nitric oxide levels increased, indicating improved blood flow. These findings suggested that MBN effectively promoted hair growth and relevant gene expression in the animal model.

      Feeding bacteria-free mice with Lactobacillus murinus worsened hair loss, but a regular diet with biotin stopped it. The conversation suggests gut bacteria and diet may influence hair loss, with some skepticism and discussion about other factors like DHT and genetics.
