community Does applying Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) make a difference in hair growth?

4 upvotes 3 years ago

Applying Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) topically may improve skin and potentially promote scalp health and hair growth, especially after microneedling. The user shares their positive experience with EGF and provides a product link.

community Fully functional hair follicle regeneration through the rearrangement of stem cells and their niches

4 upvotes 11 years ago

Hair follicle regeneration through stem cell rearrangement is discussed, focusing on bioengineered cellular structures rather than traditional hair transplants. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community Adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration through fatty acid metabolic signaling

23 upvotes 10 months ago

Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.

community Functional hair follicles grown from stem cells: Scientists have created natural-looking hair that grows through the skin using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a major scientific achievement that could revolutionize the hair growth industry.

171 upvotes 7 years ago

Scientists have grown natural-looking hair from stem cells, potentially revolutionizing hair growth treatments. Concerns include cost, DHT resistance, and the need for future procedures.

community "Hair Follicle Stem Cells are quiescent 99% of the time and permanently reside in the hair follicle"

in Research/Science 1391 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.

community Riken develops new method for culturing hair follicles

41 upvotes 8 years ago

A new stem cell method for culturing hair follicles is being developed as an alternative to Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. There are concerns about its cost and accessibility despite plans for commercialization.
