research Cyclosporine A increases hair follicle growth by suppressing apoptosis-inducing factor nuclear translocation: a new mechanism

9 citations , January 2015 in “Fundamental & clinical pharmacology”

This study found that cyclosporine A's enhancement of hair growth in mice is partly due to its ability to block the nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor, slowing the hair follicle transition to the catagen phase.

research Growth Hormone and the Human Hair Follicle

14 citations , December 2021 in “International journal of molecular sciences”

This article reviews current knowledge and research gaps on growth hormone in hair follicle biology, highlighting its complex role and suggesting further exploration to reveal nonclassical skin functions.

research Collagenase IV plays an important role in regulating hair cycle by inducing VEGF, IGF-1, and TGF-β expression

27 citations , September 2015 in “Drug Design Development and Therapy”

This study suggests that type IV collagenases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, play important roles in the hair cycle by regulating the expression of VEGF, IGF-1, and TGF-β in mice.

research Pretreatment of epidermal growth factor promotes primary hair recovery via the dystrophic anagen pathway after chemotherapy‐induced alopecia

25 citations , May 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that topical EGF-liposomal solution may protect hair follicles from chemotherapy-induced damage by inducing a catagen-like stage in a mouse model.

research Pretreatment with epidermal growth factor promotes primary hair recovery in the chemotherapy-induced alopecia

January 2013 in “Seoul National University Open Repository (Seoul National University)”

This study found that pretreating hair follicles with epidermal growth factor (EGF) may protect against chemotherapy-induced hair damage by inducing a catagen-like stage, thus supporting primary hair recovery.

community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.

community Amplifica: Hope or Cope? A Review of Their Pipeline

9 upvotes 4 weeks ago

Amplifica's AMP-303 showed a modest increase in hair growth, but results were inconsistent and potentially misleading. Hyaluronic acid and osteopontin are being explored for hair growth, with varying effects on different hair types and conditions.

community Making your own RT1640 in China

4 years ago

RT1640, a combination of cyclosporin A, minoxidil, and RT175, is discussed as a potential treatment for hair regrowth and repigmentation. The unique formulation aims to enhance hair follicle growth and restore hair pigment without the negative side effects of immunosuppressants.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

community Is it possible to create an estrogen mesotherapy/topical that doesn't go systemic?

7 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses the potential of using topical estrogen treatments for hair loss without systemic absorption, highlighting challenges and possible solutions like using estriol. It also mentions other treatments like topical finasteride, microneedling, and scalp massage, while noting the limitations and side effects of current options.

learn Epidermal Growth Factor

learn Beta Polypeptide

learn Overview

learn Osteopontin

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

learn KY19382

compound that activates Wnt/β-catenin to promote hair regrowth and create new hair follicles

How does KY19382 actually stimulate dormant hair follicles to grow again? KY19382 stimulates dormant hair follicles by reactivating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

learn Stem Cell Factor

How does stem cell factor help activate dormant hair follicles? Stem cell factor activates dormant hair follicles by signaling through the c-Kit receptor.
What is stem cell factor and why is it used in hair growth treatments? Stem cell factor promotes hair growth by signaling cell survival and division.

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.
