    TLDR Electrical stimulation with minoxidil boosts hair cell growth.
    The study investigated the combined effect of electrical stimulation (ES) and minoxidil (MXD) on the proliferation of cultured human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs). The results showed that the combination of 8 V-1 MHz ES and MXD treatment significantly promoted hDPC proliferation compared to control, ES alone, or MXD alone. This effect was associated with increased expression of Ki-67 and β-catenin, as well as enhanced activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. However, there were no significant differences in phosphorylated ERK and AKT levels among the groups. The study concluded that ES combined with MXD had a synergistic effect on hDPC proliferation, potentially through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
