    TLDR Low oxygen conditions increase the hair-growing effects of substances from fat-derived stem cells by boosting growth factor release.
    In the 2010 study by Park et al., it was discovered that conditioned medium (CM) from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) significantly promoted hair growth by inducing the anagen phase and increasing hair regeneration in C3H/NeH mice, with 21 mice used in the experiment. The CM also enhanced the proliferation of human follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPCs) and human epithelial keratinocytes (HEKs). Importantly, the study revealed that hypoxic conditions further amplified the hair growth effects by increasing the secretion of growth factors such as IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, M-CSF, M-CSF receptor, PDGF receptor-ß, and VEGF, while decreasing EGF secretion. This suggests that the paracrine effects of ADSCs on hair growth are more potent under hypoxia due to the elevated release of specific growth factors.

      The post discusses concerns about the practicality of using Minoxidil foam for hair loss, including the frequency of application, preparation, coverage area, and drying time. Responses suggest that missing a dose isn't detrimental, it can be applied once a day, it works on all hair areas, and it doesn't need to be perfectly dry before application.
