research Control of hair growth and follicle size by VEGF-mediated angiogenesis

520 citations , February 2001 in “Journal of Clinical Investigation”

This study found that VEGF significantly enhances perifollicular vascularization during the hair growth phase, accelerating hair regrowth and increasing follicle and hair size, while its inhibition retards hair growth.

Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor Beta 2 Expression

research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression

64 citations , March 2005 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) inhibited hair shaft elongation and induced premature catagen development in cultured human hair follicles, partially through transforming growth factor β2.

research The control of hair growth: An overview

62 citations , July 1993 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.

research Thymic stromal lymphopoietin controls hair growth

5 citations , February 2022 in “Stem cell reports”

This study found that thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) promotes hair growth after skin injury by enhancing the proliferation of specific stem cells in hair follicles.

research The control of hair growth.

34 citations , October 1998 in “PubMed”

This article reviews the role of stem cells and cytokines in hair growth and discusses existing and potential treatments, but it presents no new clinical data.

community Scalp hydration's surprising link to hair growth cycle regulation

in Technology 23 upvotes 4 months ago

Scalp hydration may influence hair growth by affecting the signaling pathways that control the hair growth cycle. Users suggest using facial moisturizer, aloe vera, and oils for scalp hydration.

community Expectations control for SCUBE3

20 upvotes 2 years ago

SCUBE3, a protein linked to hair growth in moles, was discovered over 25 years ago and is being developed by Amplifica for potential hair loss treatment. Concerns exist about SCUBE3's association with cancer, as it is a protein that promotes cell growth, which could potentially trigger cancer development if used for hair growth therapy.

community Is this "Hair growth complex" pill from sons anything?

28 upvotes 9 months ago

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of a "Hair growth complex" pill, with skepticism about its ingredients like saw palmetto and anagain. Users suggest saw palmetto may help slightly with DHT-related hair loss, but it's less effective than finasteride or dutasteride.

community Upcoming and current hair growth stimulants (2026)

in Research/Science 94 upvotes 7 months ago

The conversation discusses various hair growth treatments, including topical and oral minoxidil, microneedling, LLLT, PRP, exosomes, latanoprost, copper peptides, and upcoming treatments like PP405 and Vdphl01. It also covers managing side effects of minoxidil, such as dry scalp, and mentions the use of dutasteride and finasteride for hair loss.

community Intermittent fasting reduces hair growth?!? :(

35 upvotes 1 year ago

Intermittent fasting may inhibit hair growth by triggering a stress response that affects hair-follicle stem cells. Some users believe genetics and DHT play a larger role in hair loss, and treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are mentioned as ineffective for some.

learn Cetirizine

Could cetirizine help control autoimmune triggers in alopecia areata? No published trial has tested cetirizine in alopecia areata; one registered trial has not reported results. Small trials in pattern hair loss report modest benefit, so any use for alopecia areata is off-label and unproven.
