community Korean scientists breakthrough in hair regeneration targeting CXXC5 protein and WNT Signaling Pathway

53 upvotes 8 years ago

A potential non-invasive topical treatment targeting the WNT Signaling Pathway for hair regeneration is being researched, with positive results on human hair follicle cells. Current effective treatments for hair loss include Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.

community Another blow to the cursed baldness

in Research/Science 91 upvotes 1 year ago

A South Korean company, Therazyne, has developed a promising hair loss treatment using a WNT chain surrogate that binds to Frizzled 7, with human follicle testing expected soon. Current treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are not seen as cures, and while optimism exists for future solutions like PP405, approval processes are lengthy.

A treatment containing Wnt and Follistatin was found to be safe and effective for hair regrowth in a Phase 1 clinical trial. Specific treatments discussed include Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.

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

23 upvotes 11 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 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 IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 1 year ago

IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.
