research Limonin, a Component of Immature Citrus Fruits, Activates Anagen Signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells
Limonin from young citrus fruits may help with hair growth by affecting cell growth and hair cycle pathways.
research Phloroglucinol Enhances Anagen Signaling and Alleviates H2O2-Induced Oxidative Stress in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Phloroglucinol may help improve hair loss by promoting hair growth and reducing oxidative stress.
research Vanillic Acid Stimulates Anagen Signaling via the PI3K/Akt/β-Catenin Pathway in Dermal Papilla Cells
Vanillic acid from wheat bran may promote hair growth by activating certain cell pathways and reversing hormone-related hair loss.
research Myristoleic Acid Promotes Anagen Signaling by Autophagy Through Activating Wnt/β-Catenin and ERK Pathways in Dermal Papilla Cells
Myristoleic acid helps hair growth by boosting cell growth and recycling processes in hair follicle cells.
research MTOR Signaling in Hair Follicle and Hair Diseases: Recent Progress
The mTOR signaling pathway is crucial for hair health and targeting it may lead to new hair loss treatments.

Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.
community HLT Megathread on HMI-115 (key takeaways in comments)
HMI-115, a newly discovered hair loss treatment that could potentially be effective for those with diffuse thinning and telogen effluvium. It is based on prolactin receptor antagonist signaling and has already undergone Phase I trials in women, with potential commercialization by 2027.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
community Does drinking coffee offset the effects of Minoxidil?
The conversation discusses whether drinking coffee affects the hair growth benefits of Minoxidil, with one user mentioning that Minoxidil's vasodilation is stronger than caffeine's vasoconstriction, and another sharing personal experience of better hair growth after quitting caffeine while on Minoxidil.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
