The Hair Growth Effects of Wheat Bran

Ishige sinicola, a type of seaweed, may help hair grow by blocking a hair loss-related enzyme and boosting important cell growth.

Valproic Acid helps regrow hair in mice and activates a hair growth marker in human cells.

Minoxidil helps hair growth by activating the β-catenin pathway.

One minoxidil-sensitive potassium channel exists in human hair follicles.

Estrogen receptors affect hair growth, with ER beta slowing down the hair cycle changes caused by ER alpha.

Minoxidil boosts hair growth by increasing cell production and survival.

Ginseng, especially red ginseng, helps hair grow by increasing blood flow and energy to hair roots.

Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.

Hair loss needs more research for better treatments.

Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.

Rat vibrissa follicles are useful for studying hair growth cycles, especially the transition from pro-anagen to anagen.

Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair loss, but continued research is needed for better treatments.

Finasteride effectively treats male hair loss, improving growth and density.

Finasteride safely and effectively treats male pattern hair loss, but may cause reversible sexual issues and harm male fetuses.

Minoxidil boosts growth factor in hair cells, potentially promoting hair growth.
