Effects of Substance P on the Expression of Various Factors to Control Hair Growth in Human Hair Follicle Culture

    TLDR Substance P helps hair growth by extending the growth phase and affecting certain growth factors.
    The study investigated the effects of Substance P (SP) on hair growth in cultured human hair follicles and dermal papilla cells. SP did not significantly affect the rate of linear hair growth but did prolong the anagen phase of the hair cycle. In hair follicles, SP increased the expression of the hair growth factor FGF-7 and decreased the expression of the apoptosis-related molecule caspase-3. Additionally, SP reduced the expression of the hair growth-inhibitory factor IL-1β. These findings suggested that SP had a growth-stimulatory effect, particularly by extending the anagen phase, and influenced hair growth at the molecular level.

      The conversation is about using vitamin C and Magnesium L-Threonate for hair growth by reducing DHT binding to dermal papilla cells. The original post about vitamin C's pH levels and sebum control was possibly removed by a moderator.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.

      community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !

      in Research/Science  328 upvotes 2 months ago
      Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.

      community Dht kills hair, but no one says why?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  40 upvotes 3 months ago
      DHT affects hair follicles, contributing to hair loss, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss, though they may have side effects and varying effectiveness.
