research Chemotropic Neomorphogenesis of Hemodynamically Active Hypervascular Patterns in Hare Skin by a Monocytic Polypeptide Mediator for Blood Vessel Growth (Monocyto-Angiotropin) Promotes Tissue Hyperfunction (Hair Growth)

1 citations , January 1985 in “Protides of the biological fluids”

This study found that injecting highly purified monocyto-angiotropin into hare skin induced new blood vessel formation and significantly accelerated hair growth at the injection site compared to control areas.

Androgen Receptor-Mediated Paracrine Signaling Induces Regression of Blood Vessels in the Dermal Papilla in Androgenetic Alopecia

research Androgen Receptor–Mediated Paracrine Signaling Induces Regression of Blood Vessels in the Dermal Papilla in Androgenetic Alopecia

6 citations , January 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that androgen receptor signaling is linked to blood vessel regression in the dermal papilla of balding scalp, contributing to hair follicle miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia.

research Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Male Pattern Alopecia

7 citations , November 1987 in “Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy”

This article reviews the potential of topical minoxidil to cosmetically thicken hair in some individuals with male pattern hair loss, but it reports no new clinical results.

research Male Pattern Alopecia A Histopathologic and Histochemical Study

94 citations , August 1975 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology”

In this study, the researchers observed that male pattern alopecia is characterized by miniature follicles, enlarged sebaceous glands, and an increased number of mast cells, without significant abnormalities in enzyme activity.

research Importance of vascular patterns in the dermoscopy recognition of cutaneous tumors

February 2024 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology”

Vascular patterns in dermoscopy help tell apart malignant and benign skin tumors.

community Scientists have found that a naturally occurring sugar in humans and animals could be used as a topical treatment for male pattern baldness | In the study, mice received 2dDR-SA gel for 21 days, resulting in greater number of blood vessels and an increase in hair follicle length and denseness

644 upvotes 2 years ago

Scientists discovered a sugar gel, 2dDR-SA, that increased hair growth in mice. Users discussed its potential, comparing it to other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.

community Would L arginine help male pattern baldness?

1 upvotes 10 months ago

Minoxidil 5%, finasteride 1 mg, and L-arginine are discussed for male pattern baldness. L-arginine may help with blood flow but its effectiveness for hair loss is uncertain.

community Dental technician is convinced that he has found the cause of pattern hair loss

314 upvotes 2 years ago

A dental technician claims malocclusion causes pattern hair loss due to poor scalp circulation. Users debate this, noting treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling focus on DHT and blood flow.

community Debunking Androgenetic Theory (Hair Transplants)

in Research/Science 25 upvotes 2 years ago

The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.

community Interesting discovery in the news?

4 upvotes 2 years ago

A naturally occurring sugar, 2-deoxy-D-ribose, may promote hair growth by forming new blood vessels. There is skepticism about its effectiveness and concerns about potential side effects, with some users comparing it to existing treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.

learn Osteopontin

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

learn Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

How does Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) differ from DHT-blocking treatments for androgenic alopecia? VEGF promotes blood vessel growth, while DHT-blocking treatments reduce hormone effects on hair follicles.

learn capsicum

How does capsicum improve scalp circulation and boost growth? Capsaicin dilates blood vessels through TRPV1 activation, so capsicum is expected to raise scalp blood flow, but every human hair-loss study used it inside a multi-ingredient formula — and the strongest one gave it orally, not on the scalp — so its effect on hair by itself is unproven, and it is a known skin irritant.

learn Platelet-Rich Plasma

What is Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Beta Polypeptide, and how does it help stimulate new hair growth? PDGF-BB is a growth factor that signals to dermal papilla cells and promotes blood-vessel formation; mouse studies report it can push follicles into the growth phase, and human evidence comes only indirectly from PRP trials. No PDGF product is approved for hair restoration and there is no published human trial of PDGF-BB on its own.
