    TLDR The research found a way to develop hair growth materials by targeting a specific signaling pathway.
    This study developed a model for hair growth material development by regulating the β-catenin signaling pathway. Using 100 nM tegatrabetan (TG), a β-catenin inhibitor, researchers observed decreased proliferation and increased apoptosis in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPCs) over 72 hours. TG also induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and suppressed hair growth in C57BL/6 mice by inhibiting the expression of cyclin D1, β-catenin, keratin 14, and Ki67. These findings suggest that TG-induced inhibition of hair growth can serve as a promising model for creating new materials to enhance β-catenin-mediated hair growth.

      community How does dutasteride regrowth work?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  7 upvotes 1 year ago
      A 25-year-old man with hair loss from bleach damage is using oral minoxidil and considering adding Dutasteride for better regrowth and prevention. He seeks advice on Dutasteride's effectiveness and potential benefits over finasteride, and is also curious about RU58841.

      community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

      in Technology  7 upvotes 3 years ago
      The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.

      community Anyone Try Microneedling with Exosomes/AAPE?

      community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

      in Research/Science  50 upvotes 1 year ago
      Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.
